Same nonsense theory that Ann Coulter was pushing the other day.
Flies in the face of logic and is mostly being pushed by DeSanctimonious supporters.

The survey found Trump’s lead ticking up from 55 percent support last week to 56 support this week. DeSantis, meanwhile, saw his support declining, going from 26 percent to 23 percent this week.
In other words, Trump has expanded his lead over DeSantis in the last week, going from a 29 point lead to a 33 point lead — his greatest lead yet in this particular survey.
No other potential competitor comes close. Former Vice President Mike Pence comes in third place with seven percent support, followed by former U.S. ambassador to the U.N. Nikki Haley (four percent) and former Rep. Liz Cheney (three percent).
No other potential challenger — from Texas Gov. Greg Abbott to former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo — saw greater than one percent support. GOP presidential candidates Vivek Ramaswamy and Asa Hutchinson just saw one percent support each:

Per the survey:
Trump’s Lead Widens Over DeSantis: Former President Donald Trump is backed by 56% of potential Republican primary voters, compared with 23% who back Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who’s expected to launch his own primary bid in the coming months. That 33-percentage-point lead over the past several days marks Trump’s largest since Morning Consult’s tracking of the hypothetical match-up began in December.
This reflects a significant increase for Trump long term.

The latest results are telling, as they come one week after Trump’s arraignment in New York City. Survey after survey has suggested that the indictment will only increase Trump’s support from Republicans, which could massively backfire on Democrats while making it even more difficult for another GOP hopeful to break through.
I like them both very much but I think DeSantis should stand down until 2028. I think he hurts his brand by not letting Trump go for his re-match with Biden. Trump will be gone either way in 2028, and DeSantis is still very young by comparison.
Don’t care about republicans, where does trump stand vs ANY democrat? Those are the poles that matter.
they got away with it....like they have probably for decades.
Hopefully, DeSantis has enough self-respect not to run.
Polls seem to indicate that deep state would prefer someone with a history of gullibility that they can manipulate and definitely someone who’s administration will come from DC again.
Have the 2020 Iowa Caucus results been decided yet. The primary process is the new battleground.
Yawn... Worthless poll and article considering we’re a year and a half from the 2024 election. Lots of water waiting to go under the bridge.
Trump (or DeSantis) could hold a 20 point lead on Biden on election day, and would still lose if the Democrats vote manufacturing apparatus remains in place in the following six locations:
Philadelphia
Detroit
Milwaukee
Fulton County, GA
Clark County, NV
Maricopa County, AZ
And what polls would these be because I’m having a hard time finding them.
The only poll I could find that has Trump leading is a Trump vs. Harris poll from April 4th.
The battle is happening now.
So far, this battle is being dominated by Trump. This is the scorecard.
BINGO! We’ll never see another republican president again in America’s history…the rats and spineless POS backstabbing RINOS have seen to that! Our leaders slit their own throats by turning a blind eye to the rampant blatant in your face election fraud!!
I am surprised Desantis is at 23%. Should be more like 10%.

DeSantis has failed to get any traction in his shadow campaign to be the Republican Nominee in 2024.
He’s staring at a “fork in the road” for his future national political ambition.
The smart move is to sit out or become an ally of Trump.(While collecting money from anti Trump Republican donors.)
He can’t become an ally because it’ll hurt the DeSantis brand among the “dump Trump” crowd.
DeSantis is in a very precarious position, a position that he hopes changes but is unlikely to change.
How do we know DeSahs wants to run ? I haven’t been keeping up all that much. Did he form some kind of committee? Sorry for being a doofus, but I have family stuff going on.
If anything I think Desantis will shed support if he officially declares. I could see some DeSanters moving over to Ramaswamy.
