    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.

              Went from Trump +17 to DeSantis +11.

                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.

                      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.

                      I was only joking

                        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.

                                They wanted him to run in 2016, and they were wrong. They want him to run again in 2024, and this time they'll be right.

                                  Don't forget that during Mr. Biden's nuclear war the cities will be targeted.

                                  And we all know that the cities are full of democrat voters.

                                  There won't be many Biden voters left after the buttons are pushed.

                                          Come on, if you were king of China and you got the up-close look at Mr. Biden this week, wouldn't you think now is the time?

                                          Maybe it's now or never and they just don't have what it takes.
