Or maybe, he was just talking over your head, and you didn't realize it.
Did you even read the quotes in the parent article? I'm assuming you certainly haven't seen the video of the interview.
Because the point DeSantis is making, that you're not addressing, is that NATIONAL polls do not matter, in a Presidential race.
It's what happens in each individual state, not what happens nationally.
For example, Trump would have lost to Hillary in 2016 had NATIONAL results been what counted.
State results are what count, as that's how the electoral college works. And, in these swing states like Georgia and Arizona, that Trump lost in 2020, which thereby cost him the election, DeSantis is scoring significantly higher than Trump in those same states now.
Will that message, and actual explanation of how election works win DeSantis the overall election? Maybe, or maybe not. Most Trump supporters seem happy in their little bubble of national polls. But state elections are how Presidents are selected.
“Or maybe, he was just talking over your head, and you didn’t realize it.”
Yes, because I am just some rube who doesn’t understand how the system works.. if you want to think that go right ahead.. I’ll flag this thread, so when March 5th rolls around, the primary is effectively over, we’ll see who’s right... or better yet when March 19th comes around and Desantis as the sitting governor of a state, is utterly humiliated, and loses the primary there (assuming of course he hasn’t already been forced to drop out before then).. we’ll see who’s right.
Don’t try to lecture me about national polls. Desantis is underperforming Trump in the swing states as well. I was one of the first people to explain exactly how Trump was going to win 2016.
Desantis is a non starter, he isn’t outperforming Trump in the swing states, and even more importantly, he’s going to lose the Primary handily, even in the state he’s a sitting governor of.
If you think Desantis is a winning candidate, there really isn’t any hope for you. You are backing a guy who is going to LOSE the primary in the state he’s the governor of, and not by a little bit.
The “electability” argument, as I state is the last refuge of the establishment/uniparty/globalists, when the lowly “stupid” peons don’t follow their script.
You can cling to your delusions... Had to go through this crap with the Cruz, Rubio, et al folks back in 16.. nothing ever changes with the establishment/globalist/uniparty hacks... same old playbook for the last 20-30 years.
Desantis is a non starter, he can’t win a national election, he can’t even win a Primary election among Republican voters... And I don’t mean can’t win by a small margin, I mean can’t win, as will likely not even get double digits of the vote totals when its all said and done.
Hell he can’t even win his home state in a primary election, when he’s the sitting governor.
When it’s all said and done, Trump will handily win well over 60% of all the Republican primary votes cast, and Desantis won’t even be in double digits. Yet, you want to make the argument Desantis can win a national general campaign?
It’s a LAUGHABLE argument, that gets more laughable by the day.
I can’t win the primary, but dammit I can win the general....
Dumbest claim ever.
I heard this whole dumb argument before back in 16, and I was called far worse that stupid for pointing out exactly why and how Trump was going to win... The same old establishment rubes offered up the same old tired lines you are.
March will be here soon enough, and we’ll see...
Shocking illogic. Single or low double digits in the Nation but winning in a majority of states. Obviously math challenged or willing to lie to himself and the American public.
DeSantis is never going to win Georgia. Sadly I’m not sure any Republican can
