Trump has a base core of supporters that will stick with them all the way to the bottom of the ocean this is true. However that doesn’t mean he’s going to win. Much of the system that defeated him last time is still in place this time. So he or any Republican who’s not a swamp member that wins the nomination must be ready to fight this machine because the RNC isn’t going to do it for him. The same RNC trump supported the leader of.
That's true. I also think that Trump won't pull in as many votes as he did in 2020. However I don't think DeSantis will pull in as many votes as Trump. And nobody else will even come close.
Disclosure: I expect to pull the lever for either in 2024. Neither one has my primary vote locked in to date.
