Desantis NEVER had a shot.. None of the other also rans ever had a shot.
The primaries were cemented on Jan 7, 2021. As long as Trump decided to run, he was the nominee... anyone telling you anything else has been either flat out lying to you, or fully ignorant of reality.
All I can say personally is thank God he chose to run, the crowd running this time are even more pathetic than the batch running against him 2016.
In 2016 you could excuse them for not recognizing that the politicqal realities had shifted... the voters had pretty much followed their script for decades, the establishment/uniparty/globalists, had absolutely no reason to think 2016 would be any different, so just keep pushing the same old tired policies and rhetoric of Bush/Rove/Cheney et al.
In 2023, to still be pretending that reality has not changed, and realize just how far away from your base you actually are is flat out inexcusable.
DeSantis, was foolish to run... he voluntarily took himself from being an almost certain frontrunner in 2028, to likely never ever being able to be a serious national candidate with this absolutely abysmal and stupid campaign.
The establishment primary field is a clown show, and just prove daily why Trump will be the choice. Tucker destroyed every one of them with largely softball and simple questions... because what they stand for and want, has little if anything to do with where the electorate is. They are all just puppets for the money men, and its utterly obvious whenever they are asked even the most basic questions.
Hell they had a “debate” if you can call that circus a debate, and not a single question about election integrity was brought up... why? Simple, the uniparty doesn’t want election integrity, they don’t care, they just want control... Just like no one would be talking about illegals, the border, free trade, or any of the other things Trump ran on in 16, because he could.. no other candidate was going to touch that, no matter how bad those things were killing this country because the money men backing them wanted them.
Had Trump decided not to run, well the discussion would be different, but he did, and the minute he did the race was over.. Folks aren’t going to abandon Trump for any of these jokers, and reality is if any of these jokers are the nominee, Much of Trump’s supporters will simply stay home.
Trump was and is the only candidate with an R beside his name that has ANY real shot at winning the general election, his base is far larger than the GOP base, and is far far more enthusiastic. No other R can remotely bring in the votes Trump can, and those that claim otherwise... well they are just lying or willfully ignorant.
