Over one-quarter of Republican voters – 27 percent – will not consider voting for Governor of Florida Ron DeSantis in the upcoming Republican presidential nomination race. Comparably, just 14 percent of Republican voters say they would not consider supporting Donald J. Trump.
The data comes from CBS and YouGov, and sampled a hefty 2,480 U.S. adults between June 7-10th, with a 2.7 percent margin of error.
Though considered by many to be Trump’s toughest opponent, Trump and DeSantis are almost as far apart from each other as DeSantis and Senator Tim Scott, who is polling third, 15 points behind DeSantis, with 42 percent of Republican voters unwilling to consider him.
Indeed, DeSantis’s campaign has hitherto failed to get off the ground. Florida’s governor is yet to see his net approval rating increase since he declared his candidacy in the race.
Other Republican hopefuls lag far behind. In fourth is Vivek Ramaswamy, with 56 percent refusing to consider him, Nikki Haley at 57 percent, former Vice-President Mike Pence at 60 percent, Asa Hutchinson at 73 percent, Doug Burgum at 73 percent, and Chris Christie at 79 percent.

Some of us are old enough to remember getting burned by the bucket full of @ssholes the GOP has trotted out as presidential nominees in the recent past: George W. Bush, John McCain and Mitt Romney, for example. And if they had their way, we would be looking at 2024 as the end of Hillary Clinton’s second term after she defeated Yeb Bush in a landslide in 2016.
1. I have come to despise lawyers in public office.
2. I have come to despise career politicians.
3. It's much harder to corrupt the billionaire.
4. Anyone who worked as a Federal prosecutor should be given the public respect one would give to a child molester.
THE END.
He linked an article to a poll that said Trump was waaay ahead and gaining momentum. So he did defend Trump.
It just so happens it shows DeSantis falling in the polls. Which has been a common polling thread lately. Are you suggesting that's "attacking DS"?
That’s never going to happen.
Let's go down the memory hole:
Russia, Russia, Russia, Impeachment 1, Impeachment 2 and Special Prosecutor Investigation…..
Was Trump wrong March 2017, when he accused the Obama/Biden Administration of spying him?
Name a recent POTUS who was as successful as Trump? Look at what Trump accomplished:
Gas price per gallon was about $2.30;
Inflation about 1.4%, mortgage rates were half of what they are now;
Unemployment was low before Covid and before Blue Governors shut everything down and we were in the midst of a V-shape recovery until January 22, 2021;
Tax decrease; tax laws promoted small businesses as well as large;
US enjoyed energy independence - No Green Agenda, no war on energy, No Paris Treaty;
No war in Ukraine, no threat of nuclear war, NATO paid its way;
China was quiet and we were winning the trade war;
US companies were bringing home the jobs due to well executed tax treatments;
Peace in the Middle East aka Abraham Accords; US Embassy moved to Jerusalem; and Iran was isolated.
Got three non-left “I don't know what a woman is” Supreme Court Justices on the bench allowing Roe vs Wade to be overturned.
Who the heck can accomplish the above in four years while being impeached twice and investigated by Obama's Weaponized Agencies?
Due to simple minded voters, elections are allowed to be stolen (I. E. 2020 Pa.), idiot Democrat and RINO leadership goes on without question and Freepers dump on Trump.
In other words, you won’t defend him. Okay, thanks.
The Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax, Impeachment 1, Impeachment 2 and Special Prosecutor Investigation…..

Name a recent POTUS who was as successful as Trump? Look at what Trump accomplished for the majority of Americans:

Due to simple minded voters, elections are allowed to be stolen (i.e. 2020 Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin and Pa.), wildly corrupt Democrats and RINOs legislate without accountability and Freepers like you dump on Trump.
You are in my favorite category of The Dump Trump Chumps.
How does that 14% of NeverTrumpers differ from 2016 & 2020?
This is a re-run of the GA Senate race in 2020. Trump’s candidate would have won...except Trump supporters in an illogica snit of 2 year old behavior(especially from NE GA) refused to vote for Trump’s good friend and former employee of 20+ years.
How can someone explain the stupidity of this faction of our coalition? We are a coalition. Many freepers disagree on immigration and foreign trade with free countries. Most Freepers and Trump supporters are with me on private enterprise and capitalism...but not all in the coalition.
But we are a coalition. It makes no sense to say I am for Trump, but not for the Trump coalition.
MILLIONS have already decided to vote for rPresident TRUMP.
“Are you suggesting that’s “attacking DS”?”
If it is, then reality itself is attacking DeSantis.
But it does not matter.
Anybody but Biden, anybody except a democrat.
This is probably the last chance.
If for some reason the nominee is DeSantis, Ramaswanny, Rand Paul, or somebody else rather than Trump. You cannot fail to vote against democrats. This is not a time for purity test.
Vote like a democrat. I do not care if the Republican candidate in the upcoming election machined gunned a schoolyard full of little kids. He or she is better than the demonratic alternative. I will vote for a mass murderer over a democrat. And so should you.
Taking this stand will make the demonrats attack Trump less. They think they can split the Republican vote. That is what they are trying to do.
Vote like a democrat, vote the platform not the person.
I wouldn’t worry about 2024. Unless 2020 gets fixed Jesus Christ couldn’t get elected on the Republican ticket much less Trump or the wannabes. Your choices will be Joe or Joe.
Raise your hand if you think Trump does not 100% know this. Who thinks Donald Trump would put himself and his family through this nightmare if he didn’t know that something was going to happen to ensure a free and fair election in 2024? Of course he wouldn’t. Nobody would.
I think things are going to get very interesting between now and November 2024. Interesting on the scale of the Berlin wall coming down. Only bigger.
Let’s put it this way. If Trump is running, I’m voting for him.
That means if GOPe selects DeSantis, and Trump is running on his own MAGA ticket, I’m voting for him.
Sorry if this bugs you.
They would rather see Trump. But you know this.
So if for whatever reason Trump cannot run, then what? What’s the Plan B?
I’m done holding my nose to vote. It’s Trump or I’m sitting this one out
Sitting it out. I’m not holding my nose to vote yet again.
I will REITERATE my most wonderful post.
