>>>>He.. Can’t. Win. He has NO CHANCE whatsoever.

Then why the nonstop 24/7 attack against DeSantis? Why not treat him like Haley or Christie or any other single digit loser running for president.

>>>>>If Trump is f’d over by the RINOs who are in league with the Deep State, he can go 3rd party.

If you knew your US history, you would know that’s a stupid idea. Go back and see how well that turned out for Teddy Roosevelt and the Bull Moose party.

I do treat ALL those LOSERS exactly the SAME! Wholeheartedly!

"Let's just start with Haley. 80s sinister rouge, limp hair with shitty grey root coloring makes her look like an unhappy Afghan Hound ... A low-key-drag-goth-outfit, also 80s, that doesn't fit her anywhere ... and fugly shoeboots to boot.

SLAY, QWEEN YOU STUPID RINO B---H. YOUR PHARMACY CALLED THEY'RE ALL OUT OF YOUR OZEMPIC LOFL. TRUMP WANTS TO BUY YOU A BIG MAC AND FRIES.

You're in good company. No less VDH whinged about this exactly when he was busy cooking up a turkey of a setpiece -- the fear that Trump will go Bull Moose -- and it is appropriate that I re-deliver that smackdown:

VDH has actually forgotten history, and how the Election of 1912 actually transpired conspired:

In November 1911, a group of Ohio Republicans endorsed Roosevelt for the party's nomination for president; the endorsers included James R. Garfield and Dan Hanna. This endorsement was made by leaders of President Taft's home state. Roosevelt conspicuously declined to make a statement—requested by Garfield—that he would flatly refuse a nomination. Soon thereafter, Roosevelt said, "I am really sorry for Taft... I am sure he means well, but he means well feebly, and he does not know how! He is utterly unfit for leadership and this is a time when we need leadership." In January 1912, Roosevelt declared "if the people make a draft on me I shall not decline to serve". Later that year, Roosevelt spoke before the Constitutional Convention in Ohio, openly identifying as a progressive and endorsing progressive reforms—even endorsing popular review of state judicial decisions.

Roosevelt began to envision himself as the savior of the Republican Party from defeat in the upcoming presidential election.

In February 1912, Roosevelt announced in Boston, "I will accept the nomination for president if it is tendered to me. I hope that so far as possible the people may be given the chance through direct primaries to express who shall be the nominee.

Elihu Root and Henry Cabot Lodge thought that division of the party would lead to its defeat in the next election, while Taft believed that he [Roosevelt] would be defeated either in the Republican primary or in the general election.

The 1912 primaries represented the first extensive use of the presidential primary, a reform achievement of the progressive movement...The greatest primary fight came in Ohio, Taft's base. Both the Taft and Roosevelt campaigns worked furiously, and La Follette joined in. Each team sent in big name speakers. Roosevelt's train went 1800 miles back and forth in the one state, where he made 75 speeches. Taft's train went 3000 miles criss-crossing Ohio and he made over 100 speeches.

Roosevelt swept the state, convincing Roosevelt that he should intensify his campaigning, and letting Taft know he should work from the White House not the stump. Only a third of the states held primaries; elsewhere the state organization chose the delegations to the national convention and they favored Taft. The final credentials of the state delegates at the national convention were determined by the national committee, which was controlled by Taft men. - wikipedia
