So the question is: Which part of the DeSantis formula isn’t working—the populist mojo or the competence-discipline-palatability factor? The answer, I’m afraid, is both …
Wrong. More like the deliberate association with RINOs and ignoring the fraud factor.

Bragg was told to give the nomination to Trump, so he did.

We’ll win or lose with him. I’m fine with that.

It’s because the voters like Trump.

Because America HATES Washington DC and we are angry about the stolen election. And we are coming. We are going to ram Trump right back down DC’s dirty corrupt throats.

With each indictment Trumps poll numbers go up in the Republican primary. To the horror of the Democrats his numbers also go up against Biden. He is well ahead of Biden now.

The Dems must take Trump out via the courts, which is unlikely. Biden is not a viable candidate and Kamala is worse but Jill Biden wants to cling to the power of the presidency of her husband. We do not really know who is president. I think it is Obamas advisors and Jill Biden and there is a power struggle there. Joe’s staff is mostly Obama’s staff of past.

I hope Biden is the democrat nominee as he will be easily defeated. He will not be the nominee.

Then pray for his health and no impeachment.

We’re still going to have to win without stooping as low as the rats do. Just remember the Kenyan was taken care of by those that did his dirty work for him. He could then ridicule a stiff like Romney wanting the 80’s back.

What are the plans of the CIA?

They must have 10 scenarios.

I don't think the power is centralized in the White House. I think it's a free for all.

Tech and media oligarchs, financiers, intelligence community leaders, top generals and admirals, the FBI and DOJ -- all of them sort of on the same page, but not entirely. All doing their own thing, pulling in sort of the same direction, but sometimes going in opposite directions.

We have no Chief Executive. No one entity is in charge. Putin and Xi are firmly in control of their countries, for good or ill. Ours is led by no one in particular, so its actions are unpredictable and often destructive to others and ourselves.

A big one he overlooked. Trump is against so-called “free” trade deals and is specifically against the TPP which DeSantis is for as is every other Donor Class candidate. Trump specifically aims to bring manufacturing back to America with specific policies such as placing tariffs on China rather than just wish for it and do nothing to make it happen.

It’s because Trump voters, even the ones who don’t like him, trust him.

It’s that simple.

“The Dems must take Trump out via the courts”

That’s not their only option, and they’re not above using “any means necessary”.

“that donor influence is a far less important factor than the candidate’s own unshakably Reaganite instincts.”

LOL, Reagan didn’t start wars with the Russians, or the Soviets...but nice try by the DeSantis bunch to wriggle out of him stepping in it on Ukraine.

Candidates arrayed against Trump ALL avoid the issue of fraud, hoping that it will just go away, but by avoiding talking about the Media-Dem Party voter fraud operation, they provide oxygen to the fraud schemes. If by chance one of them actually defeats Trump they will fall victim to the very thing they have avoided talking or even thinking about.
