I don’t think there’s any question Trump is going to run again. And DeSantis, I don’t know if he will especially if Trump does. This quote from the Examiner is key though, in my opinion:

“[Trump’s] continued fixation on relitigating the 2020 election leaves him vulnerable to a DeSantis brimming with critiques of the present and programs for the future. DeSantis, as Dexter Filkins’s perhaps unwillingly positive portrait in the New Yorker indicates, is smart, hard-working, disciplined, and eager to win fights, citing chapter and verse, over hostile media.”

This is applicable in the general election as well. If Trump is the nominee his opponent will excoriate him for his 2020 obsession.

It really doesn’t matter if one believes 2020 was stolen from Trump or not (obviously I don’t but again that doesn’t matter). The fact of the matter is, outside the friendly “conservative” safe spaces like FR, Telegram, Gabb, and Truth Social, the rest of the country (about 60%) are *tired* of what they, rightly or wrongly, perceive as whining from a man who lost an election almost 2 years ago.

One would know this, if one goes outside one’s comfort zone and actually *talks* to such people.

So the quote above is reality, and a serious hindrance to Trump if not in the primary in the general. It’s just the reality of the electorate. One can believe what one wants, but “Republican support” for Trump represents at most 40% of likely voters in this country. And you can’t win an election with only 40% voting for you.

That’s not a conspiracy, it’s just math.

Did you even watch the security videos from election day into the next day that the Democrat party was not aware of in Fulton County, Georgia?   It showed the counting being shut down and all the pole watchers sent home on a ruse with the counting to continue the next day, only to show the Democrat partisans remove tubs of ballots from hiding places and resume the count with no witnesses.   Were you aware in Georgia that Stacey Abrams had sued the State of Georgia with accusations that our election Laws were unfair?   Just before the election our Secretary of State signed a Consent Decree with the Court to settle the suit that enabled the Democrat cheating, unconstitutionally usurping legislative statutes.

The new law (Election Integrity Act of 2021, known in the legislature as SB 202,) also capped the number of drop boxes at one per 100,000 active voters in each county. As a result, the number of drop boxes in Cobb, DeKalb and Fulton counties decreased from 87 in 2020 to 20 last year.
The drop boxes were outside and unattended in the 2020 election and the current law moved all boxes into the poling places where they are locked up after hours when pole workers are not there.

It seems easy for you to make claims that the election was not stolen when you ignore the facts staring us all in the face.
