    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      @George-K the live numbers were actually 900K, anyway. Saw that myself, though I couldn’t listen live.

        You really should listen. He's saying a lot of what we have discussed for years.

        Thanks for the link. It was good stuff.

        I am curious what some of our resident DeSantis haters think of the conversation.

          Here’s a guy who is coherent, disciplined and has thought this through. He can thoroughly articulate his positions. I like him a whole lot more today.

              I didn't listen (yet), but I watched his interview with Gowdy. It was good.

                Wow. It would be one thing if the lincoln project presented itself as entertainment punditry. But they want people to believe they are serious historians and thinkers. And millions think of them in exactly that way.

                I noticed they included my favorite bit of gaslighting from the left. The one where they accuse the right of pushing some bizarre culture war that comes out of nowhere.

                  I don't think he's afraid of Trump. Judging from what I heard today I also think they are flat wrong, and frankly irrelevant.

                        No, they carry a lot of weight in the NAMBLA crowd, and that’s a big enough demographic that Target and the Dodgers are willing to give up their Christian base to try to win…

                                Foad? C'mon, that's not a real name. That's somebody saying 'Dude, you can FOAD as far as hiring goes!'

                                  Maybe he drives a Foad. I can see the confusion.

                                    Bad news for DeSantis. Continuing his downward trend, DeSantis is down to 19% support among Republicans, vs. 59% for Trump. Pence comes in 3rd place at 8%.

                                      Polls are really kind of meaningless right now. Get back to me after the South Carolina primary...

                                        In interviews with Trump supporters during his latest indictment, the "street interviews" made it clear they really want Trump but also expect DeSantis to easily fill the void if Trump drops out later. Some folks even had Trump-DeSantis hats on saying they are hedging their bets in case Trump is out later.

                                        I'd very surprised if anyone but DeSantis wins the nomination if Trump is out.

                                          That is NOT what I have seen. With the very rare exception (the retired Marine pilot that I mentioned before), every general Pro-Trump person have become EXTREMELY protectionist over Trump and are even turning against DeSantis as much or more so than Biden. At the end of the day, without a MAJOR shakeup, the pro-Trumpers are going to get Biden elected.
