There is nothing to contest.
Trump was the nominee as of Jan 7, 2020 as long as he decided to run.
He did, and it’s over.
You think any of the folks running have any shot of beating Trump? If you do you clearly haven’t been paying attention.
Trump is the most dominant player in the political arena, on either side of the aisle.
The sitting “President” doesn’t even have the impact and control of the public consciousness as much as Trump.
Desantis, not a go of the other also rans ever had any prayer of having any meaningful impact on the primary once Trump announced.
They are welcome and free to run, and try, but they are irrelevant.
DeSantis’ claims around electability are a joke, he has next to no support from the rank and file and is completely owned by the establishment money men (Cheney et al). Desantis is a terrible retail politician, it’s abundantly clear to anyone honestly watching him on the stump that this guy will be eaten alive in a national campaign, and why he’d have lost to a corrupt drug addict in 2018 had Trump not come in and dragged him over the finish line.
You want a truly contested primary you need to have someone with the ability to actually contest, the field of candidates trying to take on Trump are woefully inadequate to do so, Tucker eviscerated every single one of them with what were honestly pretty mild questioning.. why? Simple, what they stand for is what their money men want, not what the electorate or American people want.
You post this repeatedly, and I agree with you … but I think you mean January 7th of 2021.
I order to have a truly contested primary you also need candidates who have clear differences in policy matters. I’m not sure most GOP primary voters can even tell you what most of these different primary characters even stand for.
