Re: 8 - Oh, good grief. Talk about wanting being dramatic.

There’s a Republican primary coming up. Everyone who wants to be President has to compete.

Whoever wins has shown they can go the distance in the primary season. Republicans and Conservatives can coalesce around the nominee.

Yet, another retarded and confusing message from you. The FR resident drama queen, you are.

Can and should, but will they, if the nominee is Trump?

I can't see RINOs enthusiastically supporting Trump.

Conservatives always support the RINO candidate, if he/she eventually becomes the nominee. What choice do they have?

RINOs seldom give the same support if the nominee is Conservative.

Problem is, Conservatives probably can't win without help from the RINOs, so what are we supposed to do?

You don’t get it.

President Trump is the popular incumbent, just like Reagan was in 1984. The 2020 election was stolen, so Trump’s incumbency rolls forward to 2024.

Any Republican who challenges Trump in 2024 is a fool, which is why Ron DeSantis has still not announced. He understands Trump is running for a well-deserved second term.

DeSantis is doing a fabulous job as ultra popular governor of Florida, and is in a great position for a 2028 Presidential run. In 2028, if DeSantis runs a MAGA campaign, every single Trump voter will gladly vote for him.

If he challenges Trump in 2024, he knows he won’t get the MAGA base, so he will have to look elsewhere - to the RINO wing of the Republican Party - and betray his own conservative base!

Why would he trade away all that just to become road kill in a primary challenge he can’t win?

DeSantis is way too smart for that.
