Nearly 1 million Democrats voters "disappeared" from Florida between 2018 and 2022 - in a state that's gaining population...

“...such short memories?”

Trump bent the laws of science and safety at Warp Speed to crank out a non-vaccine and suggested you take this experimental thing for which BigPharma has immunity.

And he STILL brags about it.

Yes, Fauci is an utter failure at best. Who worked for Trump.

Dreams about Trump draining the swamp and about him being the ONLY one tough enough to stand against it are silly.

He started out on the correct thinking regarding the WuFlu, then he folded like a cheap suit under pressure and jumped strait into the swamp.

It’s a two step process. First they eliminate Trump, then when DeSantis gets the nomination, then they give him the same treatment they gave Trump in 2016, but they will cheat even more effectively than they did in 2020.

If they can’t find enough real dirt on DeSantis, they will create what they need.

Ridiculous push by RINOs.
If the poll was done in Florida, then yes.
Not enough republicans and / or conservatives have even heard of Desantis across the country to make this poll realistic. This is just a RINO wet dream.
Another effort to separate voters from Trump.

The only way I see Trump winning the primary at this point is if he dramatically improves his self-discipline with his mouth and his writing. Given his age I'm not optimistic he can do that. We need to be finding someone now who has his fire and resolve, who is not way past their use-by date and prone to constantly saying things that need to be walked back or "clarified." If Desantis or another major candidate can show they have the resolve, what's the point of picking someone almost as old as Biden and a major turn-off to large swathes of voters?

Yes, the media has two fists on the scales to tilt elections, but Trump has so many self-inflicted wounds it's gotten ridiculous. We have enough to overcome when it comes to media and Deep State manipulations, we can't afford a self-marginalizing candidate.

You realize the POINT was this is a new poll, not several weeks old, etc.

And please note those polls you like to use to make you feel good include other (minor) candidates - it is not head-to-head like this. Give most of those minors to DeSantis, and Trump isn’t looking so stable.

Thank you. I found this which is alarming as well:

I have said this many times in the past, and it bears repeating.
If the RINOs are successful at forcing Trump out of the 2024 republican primaries by using Desantis, then SURPRISE SURPRISE, Dezantis will NOT be the republican nominee because the RINOs will steal the nomination from him, guaranteed.
It is the RINOs who are pushing Desantis as an alternative to Trump, telling people that Trump is too ‘toxic’ to run again.
It’s all nonsense, Trump is only toxic to RINOs.
Personally, I like Governor Desantis, but he doesn’t have the name recognition or money to challenge the DC Swamp. They will eat him alive.
The RINOs do not want Desantis for president anymore than they want Trump, but they know that they cannot steal the nomination from Trump, and they are absolutely positive that they can steal it from Desantis. He won’t even see it coming. They did this to Patrick Buchanan in 1996. He did see it coming but he also knew that he couldn’t stop them. Trump can, Desantis can’t. It really is that simple.

DeSantis has done a fine job of swamp cleaning in his state. He can get it done.

One state is not the whoe country. It is much harder to clean the swamp that is all of America. \

I doubt DeSantis can get that all done as you make it sound so easy. That is ridiculous.

And if it does you can count on sites like this one and others across the country will be shutdown...and any posters on this site and others could possibly be rounded up. And a few over the hill, over weight arm chair rambos ain’t gonna stop anything.

If anybody really thinks they are anonymous in the ‘Net you are sadly delusional.

I don’t know. I do know that it’s way too early. I have no idea how many voters are still with Trump. I like the idea of having 16 candidates. Makes Trump stronger if he makes it but regardless it’s way too early.

I am under no illusion that it’s easy. I also don’t believe any one man can accomplish it. I’m not fully in any one person’s corner. It’s too early. I was skeptical of things DeSantis said he could do and then with little to no fanfare he did them. I think he could accomplish a good dent without having his lunch taken and then beaten with it.
