He’s just exposed himself to be a uniparty/globalist/establishment shill...

Morning Consult Tracking poll pretty much tells the tail... The establishment/uniparty pumped him up, then people actually started to look at him and pretty much have said no thanks since.

Since he finally officially entered, he’s kind of stopped the hemorrhaging, and seems to have a slight up trend over last 2 weeks, and by slight I mean “SLIGHT”, overall he’s been pretty much flatlined since about Mid April, floating right around the low mid 20s.

Meanwhile, Trump has been floating at or above the mid 50s since April 1, and the last time he polled under 50% was Feb 1.

The fundamental Problem with Desantis is they sold him as “Trump without the baggage” and “He’s like Trump but can beat Biden”... but the reality is, the bloom is off that rose.

Desantis has been polling at or below Trump when head to head against Biden for months.

The other Issue with Desantis is, he’s not not a commanding presence, and not a great campaigner... and that’s without having to be side by side with Trump who will absolutely overshadow him. Sadly Desantis’ wife has more presence and works the podium better than Desantis.

Why would anyone who supports Trump settle for someone trying to be “like” Trump, when they can have Trump, especially when the main argument used to pump up the guy trying to be like Trump has fallen flat.

Desantis was foolish, IMHO to run, at least a serious attempt.. had he just decided I’m gonna run just to build up my donor network and start my ground game for 2028, and bow out early, then it would make sense, but that’s clearly not what he appears to be doing... and there is no upside for him now.

The damage he’s going to do to his brand long term is far greater than any odds he can pull of a win.

We will see how this all plays out, but I just don’t see any math ANYWHERE where Trump is not the Republican Nominee and by a large margin... ending the cycle with almost certainly better 60% of all votes cast, if not more.

What I find a far more interesting watch, honestly is the Dems.

The Dems have a man who if he gets his message out, could turn 2024 into the Dems 2016. Where the electorate refuses to follow their script. RFK JR. absolutely can win the votes to be the nominee if he gets his voice out there... Now whether the Democrat machine will respect their voters, or simply use their Super Delegates to force their will over them anyway, we shall see. If RFK Jr. actually starts to get traction, you better believe the insanity you saw unleashed against Trump will look like a walk in the park compared to what they will do to ensure he isn’t their nominee...

The more DeSantos is exposed to the public the further he ticks down. He's going to head back to Florida on the butthurt bus. But he'll have more cash...

Don’t forget the People’s Party!

I’m rooting for Cornell West.

(...to throw the ‘Rats into disarray and siphon off 10% of their vote...)

Yes the Dem primary will be very interesting. I think Kennedy is going to surprise everyone and totally split the Dems. I suspect the establishment is even more afraid of Kennedy than they are of Trump. I can’t wait to see how all this plays out.
