Personally, I urge folk to not allow themselves to be divided into Trump vs. DeSantis camps. I think DeSantis is fine where he is, showing other governors how it should be done. He’s young enough that ‘24 isn’t a drop-dead date for him. If we work together, we might actually accomplish something.
Thanks for your thoughtful response, zeugma.
Among the most important reasons for a peaceful GOP coalition is that Trump was the only 2020 Republican who knew how to win a majority in the Electoral College.
Numerically, the Political Left has more legal voters than the GOP and Conservatives.
In the last eight Presidential elections, George W. Bush is the only Republican who won a majority of the Popular Vote, and Bush barely squeaked by with 50.7%.
If the 2024 GOP nominee cannot recover Georgia and Arizona and win at least one state from the group of WI, MI, and PA, there is no point in even nominating someone.
