Let’s face it. Trump is destined to lose again, just like he lost in 2020 and we lost with all of his terrible Senate picks in 2022. Best thing that he could do at this point is drop out and endorse to DeSantis. That would be my best advice to him. If he won’t do it for ego reasons, he should do it for his only real shot at receiving a presidential pardon and not living out the rest of his days behind bars reasons.
I don’t agree with anything you write.
It must be depressing to have such an outlook on life.
I don’t see your solution as anything but a losing one.
And, of course, that is your opinion, but we must agree to disagree.
The problem (or one of the problems) with DeSantis is that he can’t win on his own merits. As you said, his only chance is for Trump to drop out and endorse him. He can’t win, he can just be carried across the finish line.
It is a competition and he needs to fight to win if he is going to have a chance. But he comes across as a wimp. He should be going toe to toe with Trump and proving why he is the better choice. Not riding the line of trying to not overly upsetting the big bad Trump.
If DeSantis would grow some balls and be his own man, he has a good chance. But as long as everyone thinks his only chance is for the front runner to quit and endorse him, he will fail.
Again, bleccch.
Anyone placing blame on losses in 2018 or 2022 on Trump are delusional.
Candidates have to win on their own. Oz, Walker and JD Vance all ran on the same message. Vance won big. Oz did not and Walker got close. But PA and GA are rigged states now.
