The GOP primaries and caucuses have not actually started, but Donald Trump appears from the polling to be way ahead. I prefer Ron DeSantis, but if you are betting, you would probably put your money on Donald Trump being nominated again. So be it. That’s what primaries are for—to find out what the base wants and to do that. And if that’s what the base wants, that’s what it should get. I’m going to support the nominee whether it is Ron DeSantis or Donald Trump or… well, it’s going to be one of those two. And I am still going to continue to support the nominee even if it is Donald Trump and he picks Nikki Haley as his vice presidential running mate, which I totally see him doing. I am a Republican, and my party winning is what matters first.
An upset victory by Ron DeSantis in Iowa would probably end all the ridiculous commentary about how Ron DeSantis is somehow running a terrible campaign.
SNIP>>>>
The reality is that Ron DeSantis has a real challenge in this election in the form of a popular, at least among Republican voters, ex-president who is running again. Republicans like Donald Trump. No one else does. Independents don’t like him, and Democrats positively loathe him to the extent that he would generate huge turnout numbers even for the senile, desiccated old pervert he will be running against (unless they trade Crusty out for Governor Hairstyle). The only path for Ron DeSantis is to somehow get around the fact that Republicans still like Donald Trump. And they should still like Donald Trump. He can be very annoying, but he was also a pretty good president overall and would probably be perfectly acceptable if he won reelection.

Nevermind
Sucks to be Kurt, Ron or Theo right now. Got it.
FReegards!
If Trump gets 5% less in Iowa or NH than the “polls” showed, see how fast Rino Ron and Nikki claim VICTORY!
Oh, aren’t you so smart. You know everything. Pitiful Dem Troll.
Well Ron didn’t ban any bumpstocks, hand out CARES cash like candy, add $8 trillion to the national deficit, or turn his office over to Fauci and the HHS swamp, so you must have meant to write ‘RINO Don”.
Hyperbole BS left wing talking points based on out of context lies and exaggeration.
So 20/20 hindsight. Did Trump close Florida beaches? No. Did he call spring breakers “super spreaders “. No.
Kurt should stay in his lane—which is issues where he excels.
Politics on the ground is an alien land for him.

One of them (DeSantis, Halley’s Deep State comet) will brag about their “close third place finish” and then quietly stop advertising in New Hampshire.
Lol.
