    Well, there’s Donald, himself…

    Joking aside? They are wrong. There ARE some that wouldn’t vote for DeSantis. I bet there are more than a few that would just stay home.

      I think you are right. But we have to face that eventually.

        I don’t disagree, but Romney and McCain brought in 60,000,000 votes each. Donald brought in 74,000,000 in 2020 and it still wasn’t enough. Biden came in at 80,000,000. What’s the threshold for a Republican victory in a non-Trump Election? Can DeSantis top 80,000,000 if he needs to? 70,000,000? These are questions that do need to be asked.

          I think eventually he can. But Trump needs to be backed off or drawn in to support. A bit late for the latter, but two years is a long time.

            What is it with Trump that attracts these people?

            I don’t understand why somebody who calls themself conservative wouldn’t vote for DeSantis but would vote for Trump.

            I was only joking

              Does anyone think Trump would back off and shut down criticism of a Republican candidate for the Presidency that didn't have the "Trump" name? I think he'd criticize any mistakes made by DeSantis and then after the defeat note that he'd have won if he'd been enabled to run.

                  Weird. I dreamed that I was working for Trump last night and he liked what I did so much that he had me set up a cocaine distribution network for him that isolated he and I from legal challenges.

                  It could happen.

                            George Conway doesn't think DeSantis will run. he makes some good points.

                              It’s possible that Conway underestimates DeSantis’ ego.

                                It'll play perfectly well for DeSantis to take the high road throughout any of Trump's mud slinging. With the added benefit that even direct hits by Trump will be ignored.

                                Education is extremely important.

                                  If I was deSantis, I'd definitely run. Trump is just going to dig himself in deeper and deeper with increasingly childish outbursts. He won the election for Biden - maybe he can repeat the achievement for DeSantis.

                                    He'll run. As will many others.

                                    I mean, you got a guy who barely eked out a victory against the most disliked woman in America, then lost elections in 2018, 2020, 2021, and 2022.

                                    Even his candidates that won did horribly, relatively speaking. JD Vance won by 6 pts, while Governor DeWine won by 25pts on the same ticket. Portman won that same seat by 21pts in his last election.

                                    I would think a lot of GOP potential candidates would feel obliged to run simply because they're tired of all the losing.

                                          The Democrat Party is going to be encouraging President Trump to run. Best chance of victory for them if he is the 2024 runner.
