    I bet she loses by more than 15. Hard to stay in the race with a loss like than in her home state. Maybe she is playing the “what if Trump is jailed” card and staying in?

    Either way, looks like almost all DeSantis voters went to Nikki. Not a good sign for Trump’s enthusiasm base come November. Could be wrong.

    Good point.

    OTOH, do you think DeSantis' base will vote for Sleepy Joe, or just resign themselves to another 4 years of destroying democracy and sit it out.

      Read the thread on the CNN exit interviews. Trump's vote was not just MAGA voters.

        The funny thing about American elections is that for some reason they can't just have one election. There seems to be hundreds of them.

        And apparently every single one of them tells us something vital about what's going to happen in November.

        I was only joking

              Scott is going to get more than that (if Trump is reelected) and Hume knows it.

                  Vivek should be press secretary.

                    Guys, why are we even debating this? It’s over as far as the primaries go. The only questions remaining are:

                    1. Will a viable independent option come forward?

                    2. Will some type of shenanigans occur at either/both of the conventions?

                    3. Will any of the legal cases wind up actually damaging either candidate? Georgia for Trump, and the Hunter trial for Biden. Not that Biden is in danger of jail, but enough could come out that the party decides they need somebody else.

                    4. The physical threats to the candidates.

                      2. Trump said he thought Biden would not be running in the fall. I think a lot of people have the same opinion. If Biden is replaced on the ticket, it will be at the convention.

                        I don't think Ramaswamy will be the VP. He's not well liked and my impression is his ambition exceeds his loyalty. trump will not trust him. Add in the black vote and it's Scott.

                          At least compared to other GOP candidates.

                                I don't think I can face 4 years of Vivek.

                                An Asian woman in the UK commented that he was like Rishi Sunak's boastful cousin that nobody could stand who totally monopolised family get-togethers.

                                I don't think Ramaswamy will be the VP. He's not well liked and my impression is his ambition exceeds his loyalty. trump will not trust him. Add in the black vote and it's Scott.

                                Commerce secretary for Ramaswamy? High enough profile to give him some political street cred.

                                    Guys, why are we even debating this? It’s over as far as the primaries go. The only questions remaining are:

                                    1. Will a viable independent option come forward?

                                    2. Will some type of shenanigans occur at either/both of the conventions?

                                    3. Will any of the legal cases wind up actually damaging either candidate? Georgia for Trump, and the Hunter trial for Biden. Not that Biden is in danger of jail, but enough could come out that the party decides they need somebody else.

                                    4. The physical threats to the candidates.

                                    1. No.
                                    2. Trump said he thought Biden would not be running in the fall. I think a lot of people have the same opinion. If Biden is replaced on the ticket, it will be at the convention.
                                    3. I'm going to crawl out on a limb and say no.
                                    4. Very concerning and highly likely.

                                    If Manchin were to run, perhaps with a moderate Republican with some chips in the electorate, it could make things interesting. If they pull 15%-20% from each party, it gets really interesting…

                                    i just don't think Manchin is running.

                                    He’s waiting to see what Super Tuesday brings. If turnout is low, or if there is still some voter resistance to Trump and Biden, he’s a coming…

                                          Don’t think I hold that view any longer having seen his more of his performances and unappealing persona in the TV debates and such.
