If he does run, that’s CLEARLY the case, since it will be political suicide* for him, but would also weaken Trump somewhat for the November election.

*if he somehow wins the Primary, huge numbers of Trump voters will sit out November. If he loses the Primary, Trump voters won’t forget what he did.

The political calculus you describe there is a big reason why I don’t think DeSantis will run in 2024.

Launching a presidential campaign six months after winning re-election as governor also sounds like the political strategy of a retardate.

Re: 8 - I will predict that more than a small number of Republican voters will sit out regardless who is the nominee. The Dems just need to sit back and watch the slow motion crash unfold.

Disagree...They know what the option is...

And those Trump voters will show how DUMB and UNTHINKING they are!!
