I was, am, and will remain bullish that DeSantis still stands a chance at the 2024 nomination, at least as long as you-know-who isn’t indicted. In the bizarro world of modern-day Republican morality, criminal charges against Trump really would seal the primaries for him.
But I’m willing to admit it when I find evidence that undercuts my thesis. This new poll from New Hampshire isn’t great.
After all, it was a poll of New Hampshire in June that set the commentariat on fire when it showed DeSantis leading Trump in a hypothetical primary there, 39/37. That survey was conducted by UNH whereas today’s data comes from St. Anselm, so we can’t say definitively based on the two that there’s now been a shift.
Donald Trump – 50%
Ron DeSantis – 29%
Liz Cheney – 4%
Nikki Haley – 3%
Mike Pence – 3%
Ted Cruz – 1%
Mike Pompeo – 1%
Larry Hogan – 0%

They differ a lot. Including inconsistency with Trump’s philosophy over a long time.
Perhaps you mean specifically foreign affairs. Which is funny because many people here decry “isolationists” which is what Washington (the greatest man) basically was.
They differ in style, not substance.
If Trump runs, he’s the candidate, period. Anyone saying anything different is living in denial.
I like DeSantis, abs willing to support him if Trump isn’t running but he’s not getting. The win if Trump runs.
The theft of 2020 will be avenged and it’s not going to happen with DeSantis.
There is zero calculus DeSantis can win the nomination if Trump runs.
He doesn’t compare President Trump to Washington, except to say, “ like Washington, won’t stick around longer than necessary.”
You turn that around and insert the words, “President Trump is like President George Washington.” And then you reply to those words that you put in his reply that he never wrote and say, “Trump is no Washington.”
Talk to and answer yourself much?
How many people bring up Washington to make even a small point?
That 4% are most likely Democrats masquerading as independents.
The WINNING Ticket is TRUMP/DeSantis.
Trump for four years. DeSantis in the bullpen.
“at least as long as you-know-who isn’t indicted.”
And what fantasy claims are there that IF they are stupid enough to indict DJT that he couldnt still run for POTUS?
I’d give very little credence to any poll out of Massachusetts’ northern county, NH...
Well we are pissing away the House and Senate so why not the trifecta?
im thinking hard
its not biden’s age its his cognitive decline
no comparison
hey she beat pence
now that is funny
OMG, did they really use that stupid word again? Hot Air is so totally useless now that you can’t even read the comments!
“The New Yorker piece really made me think twice.”
Link please, or are you being sarcastic?
I thought about it and... it's fine.
virulent anti-trumper allahpundit’s parting shot before departing for Billie Kristol’s new little anti-trump website “The Bulwark”?
If you want the Deep State too be validated, get away with treason and be emboldened to continue this reign of terror then by all means don’t back Trump.
“How many people bring up Washington to make even a small point?“

If he decides not to run, then we can have conversations on who we would support instead.
