He’s got absolutely no shot at being President, and every time he opens his mouth, support for him drops. Keep talking Ronny.
I definitely don’t want him to win, but it would be nice if one of those assholes could actually pose a real threat to Trump’s almost inevitable nomination.
If Trump had actual competition in the Republican primary the infighting would be so bad they’d literally tear the party apart.For there to be actual competition the moderates would need to drop any remaining DeSantis support (which probably isn’t much) and unite under Haley (preferably) or Pence/Christie. Haley has been gaining some traction in NH so it could be possible but probably unlikely. Trump will more than likely run away with the nomination.
What if Trump is actually jailed and/or barred from running? Wouldn’t that make DeSatan the next best candidate? Even if just one state bars Trump from running, that should be enough to end his campaign and hand the nomination to DeSanctimonious. He’ll still lose the general election to Biden, but still.
It would probably be Ramaswamy. He’s ahead of DeSantis in many polls and essentially believes everything Trump does. Plus he has way more charisma than DeSantis.
Really? I kept seeing him get chewed on in news articles, but felt like he’d have instantly stolen second place from Desantis purely from mirroring Trump, if he were white and not named Ramaswamy. Haley too felt like she’d have been a standout, were she not a woman look for support from the GOP. Kept throwing me for a loop seeing the articles saying Desantis “won” the debate. It’ll be interesting to see what happens with the next primary debate.
The aggregated polling at 538 still has Ramaswamy in third place at 7% and Haley right behind him at 5.5%, but given that Desantis has dropped all the way down to 14.2%, I wouldn’t be surprised if one or both of them pushed him out. Trump is still sitting at 55.3%, but he’s also skipping the next debate, so hopefully that can fade. Plus, you know, all the criminal lawsuits.
It might, but luckily DeSantis is so unlikeable and has zero charisma, that the republicans would never win a presidential election with him as the candidate.
If Trump is jailed, he wins the election. You can run for office from jail. If anything, it will improve his image among people likely to vote for him.
If a Blue State bars Trump from running, that doesn’t matter, because he wasn’t going to win that state anyways.
A Red State would never bar Trump from running, because it would be political suicide for any Republican to stand against Trump in such a way.
Support for him drops and support for Trump grows
And my belief in the average American drops
It can go lower?
There is a subset of republicans who don’t want another trump term, put some stock in desanctimonious, and now are basically giving up on the election
Good thing we won’t have to worry about that
Latest polling has him below Chris Christie so…yeah lol who asked him?
Wait, seriously?
Yes. The good news is he’s bottoming out. The bad news is Vivek is doing well.
I think there are too many racists who won’t be willing to vote for Vivek in the primary when it comes down to it, though. He hasn’t even pulled a Nikki Haley and pretended to be white, and I know that bothers people. I’ve read some comments that are super gross but also positive(ish, racism is never positive, really) for anyone who opposes him for being a shitbag.
Right. In order for the grift that Vivek is trying to fully work, he has to be a white male cishet xtian. He does not check all of those identity politics boxes so it’s only going to work for a sliver of the GOP.

I don’t understand the party thought process: they seem to want as many births as possible, but they also seem to want as many deaths as possible. What does that get them?
Edit: never mind, I figured it out. This is slave-owner mentality. You want/need lots of fresh new meat for the grinder, but then you want to be rid of them as soon as they are past their forced-labor prime.
This is slave-owner mentality
It’s also religious-war/race war mentality.
The ‘covid is fake/masks don’t work’ talking points were cast early on, when the data were mostly being reported in high-population-density areas. I suspect they decided the pandemic was a political opportunity, to let the virus kill off minorities and democrats in the cities for them.
Of course, they’re stupid as hell in that they killed far more of their own voters than they did anyone else.
It is entirely possible that the lopsided amount of covid related deaths among the conservative population actually skewed purple districts to blue in recent years. Stop this timeline I want to get off.

Considering the elderly were most at risk, this isn’t surprising.
They will say and do whatever they think will whip their cultists into a frenzy enough to vote and keep them in power. Whether or not it kills those same voters is irrelevant to them.
There are some of them who are just idiot true believers, but they don’t tend to be the ones in high leadership positions.
Yeah, DeSADIST is one of those people that surely knows better. But he has to reverse virtue signal to the feces-flinging howler monkeys that make up his party, and they actually will believe whatever they are told to believe, as long as they think it will “own the libs”.
He’s actually a tricky one for me to call. He might be in the category of people who fell for their own bullshit.
It has nothing to do with protecting lives, it’s securing the votes of religious Americans.
Why is this bozo even getting tv time? Just interview a local homeless man in need.
Interesting. I remember when the True Conservatives ™ were telling me that donnie won’t be the selection for their party, but ronnie will. Because he’s so reasonable and all and donnie without the baggage.
Wonder where all those people are right about now? They were saying they’ll never vote for the “Democrat (sic) Party”, because “too extreme”, “too woke”, etc, but will vote third party if donnie does win the primary, but otherwise, they wanted ronnie. Again, because of so many principles. LOL.
He’s going to get people killed, and it will be part of the plan.
I don’t think he’ll have to worry much about that.
Lol real great talk there, moron. Trashing the CDC is definitely and saying not to trust science is definitely something I want in a president.
What an absolute skid mark.
Why in the fuck would ANYONE vote for this guy?
Even racist assholes outside of Florida aren’t thrilled with him.
Because he hurts the right people.
Meanwhile, he’s polling 5th in New Hampshire and even fellow Republicans consider his campaign an embarrassment, so spewing dingbat contrarian shit like this is basically all he has left.
Desantis wont really do anything positive as president.
Could’ve stopped that sentence at “positive”.
Unfortunately, his effect on COVID will be very positive.
More reverse virtue signaling from the party where cruelty is the point.
Vice signaling. Such a truly bizarre component of the GQP.
Anti science presidents are not the future. DeSantis will never be president. I hope they vote him out of Governor too.
He’s on his 2nd term and cannot run for a consecutive 3rd, but he’s governor until 2027. Plenty of time to further destroy the state.
Surprised he hasn’t changed that law yet. Guess he has 4 more years to do it.
Ron DeSantis is a piece of shit and a very weird person
