You're as delusional about Republican primary as you are about the war in Ukraine. Neocons simply don't live in the real world.

Trump with in weeks after he announced. You don't seem to grasp how vastly superior Trump is as candidate to DeSantis as far as charisma.

Nor do you grasp that Trump is the equivalent of an incumbent with a track record the base approves of.

Reality is going to bite you in the ass sooner rather than later.

Trump took the lead in a field without an incumbent. In this race, Trump is the incumbent, much as LBJ was the incumbent for 1968, in the heat of an unpopular war. And yet it took LBJ until March of election year before LBJ bowed out.

DeSantis isn’t Trump. He doesn’t have $60m of his own cash to throw at the election, the name recognition from a popular game show and a media completely in the tank for him, at least for the GOP primaries, both in 2016 *and* 2024. DeSantis has to gradually spend the money he has. And that’s OK. He’s a pretty systematic planner. That’s how he drew level with Adam Putnam, who came from a long line of politicos, even before Trump endorsed him, once it became clear he would defeat Putnam.
