Meghan McCain believes that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis would have much higher polling numbers if other GOP presidential candidates would drop out of the race, thereby leaving it between him and former President Donald Trump.
McCain, the daughter of former Arizona Sen. John McCain and a former co-host of “The View,” made her proposal in a Sunday Op-Ed for the U.K.’s Daily Mail.
As she explained, polling data shows Trump with a significant lead over his closest challenger. The RealClearPolitics polling average puts the former president at 46.0 percent compared with 15.8 percent for DeSantis.
“It’s make or break time, America,” McCain wrote. This, she said, is “a final wake-up call” and there will be “no more smashing the snooze button” for Republicans who want to avoid a repeat of the 2020 race between Trump and President Joe Biden.
“Let’s be clear about what DeSantis is up against. He’s splitting the ‘anyone but Trump vote’ with seven other GOP candidates,” McCain wrote. “Of course, he’s struggling.
“Barring a miracle, it’ll be Trump vs. Biden come November 2024 and the vast majority of voters will be holding their noses as they pull the lever. But there is a way through — just listen to New Hampshire’s Republican Governor Chris Sununu.”
She pointed to Sununu’s comments last week on Fox News: “‘If seven of those candidates have the discipline to get out, Trump loses. … Make it a one-on-one race, Trump loses. There’s no question about it.”
McCain continued, “So here we go: a plea to the GOP field. If you’re not consistently polling in the double-digits nationally then drop out! That leaves two: Don and Ron. Everyone else is just filling a debate stage podium.”

If she shows now, yell, “Thar she blows!” now.
I guess it’s more accurate to say
She comes from a deep swamp uniparty rino,
Miss Piggy spouts.
Meghan McCain should drop out. Of the buffet line, that is.
That way there’s more food for the rest of the planet.
“Meghan McCain Asks GOP Candidates to Drop Out for ‘Don and Ron’ Race She Wants DeSantis to Win”
Net effect: Trump wins the nomination 80-20, rather than 50-13.
Trump would squash DeSantis in a one-on-one matchup by at least a 75-25% margin.
McWhale.
Nobody wants McCains support but I know some folks that Trump wouldn’t want their support either or so he would say
She wants DeSantis to beat Trump, but she has no intention of supporting either one of them against Biden.
Guess she will have to campaign for Biden again.
The Deep State WON”T allow DJT to win in 2024. They’ll do whatever it takes to stop him permanently, this time. If fraud and corruption don’t work, they’ll resort to “other means”.
