... so you’re saying that the number of liberal R voters in Colorado is helping DeSantis?

I agree with you. I was just focused on the verbiage, oxymorons, etc.

If being direct upsets you then find a safe space.

Considering the national polls that show Trump leads by 20-30%, this poll of Republicans is remarkably quite close as almost within the margin of error. And about 25% for others or undecided or none of the above, I guess.

Yep, remarkably close.... Trump up 8 points difference from the last straw poll.

Over the weekend, DeSantis topped Trump in the annual Western Conservative Summit’s straw poll, with 71 percent of participants wanting the Florida governor to run for president in 2024 compared to 67 percent for Trump. The next closest was 28 percent for Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas).

Maybe .3%

I doubt that would be significant.

De Santis should wait so he don’t get damaged.

I know ego and pride get in the way. Most of these guys are narcissists. But timing matters.

Going against Trump for the Republican nomination for 24 is like climbing into the rink with Mike Tyson.

De Santis might end up missing parts of his ear, or who knows what else:

I’m not an expert in campaigns and elections, but that’s my 5 cents.

Why by chance do you even think that?

Obviously I am posting against that.

I am not interested in your personal issues.
