DeSantis Campaign Starts to Panic
Harper Scott 
[QUOTE] A top spokesperson for Ron DeSantis’ super PAC is sounding a decidedly dour note on the Florida governor’s presidential prospects, saying his campaign is facing an “uphill battle” and is trailing badly in the key nominating states.

He's only going to win this if Trump drops out or is forced to drop out due to health or legal issues. Which isn't that bad a bet, really. I'd expect DeSantis to stay in the race for that reason.

This ignorant hot head was NEVER going to be the pick. It actually happened a lot sooner than I thought. He's not charismatic AT ALL, lacks spontaneity and has a bunch of other baggage. Trump kept the base happy with his ferociousness and "humor." DeSantis can't work a crowd to save his life. I truly hope Trump is tossed in prison and DeSantis melts down publicly in a major way.

Remember in 2012 when Hurricane Sandy hit and Christie was getting heat from fellow Republicans for working with Obama in the aftermath of that superstorm? Christie told the Republicans to go fuck themselves, that the welfare of the people of his state was more important than their partisan political bullshit.

Even the right-wing WSJ editorial board is piling on Ron, criticizing his immigration crackdown (of all things for a Republican paper to harsh on):
"Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s economic record may be the biggest selling point of his presidential campaign. Yet he’s doing neither his state nor his campaign a favor with an immigration crackdown that looks excessive and may do economic damage in the fast-growing state.

It’s being reported that the republicans are having trouble pulling off their own debate which is scheduled for next month..
A loyalty pledge being one issue, low polling among several who are not qualifying for the stage, and trump is allegedly planning his own tv special at the exact same time.
With luck this could end up being a real shit show. The moderates among them will be home watching because they did not meet the criteria to be on stage , those on stage will be trying to out right each other, and most republicans would be watching trump instead.

I think he'll serve out his term and get hired by a think tank. The traditional route for his ilk is cable news punditry a la Santorum, but Rhonda's ridiculous voice and general unlikeability make that complicated. He could wind up leading a conversion therapy operation or forming a Moms 4 Liberty type group. There are also podcast deals and speaker's tours.
The power invested in such endeavors is unmeasurable but very real--possibly immeasurable. I don't see Rhonda appearing on buses and billboards hawking legal services in our lifetimes.

It will take someone loud and obnoxious to defeat Trump. But hopefully Agent Orange will be in a prison cell, or better yet DEAD, by then. It's too early for all this.

Now is the time, DeSantis. Use all your tools to lure Miss Lindsey away from Trump, and get her onboard with your campaign. You will though, must give her sensational favors in return. It will be fun.
MAGAs in SC booed her. Trump’s remarks toward her were hurtful. She feels abandoned and vulnerable. Call upon her, Rhonda. Show her what you will offer if she goes on the campaign trail with you. You will receive unparalleled coverage. Miss Lindsey is beloved by the media. Imagine Manu Raju following you and Lindsey daily on the stump. You will get the vote of the military brass, Defense contractors, Koch Industries, etc. She’s a winner, Rhonda.

I just think if Trump is on the ticket and is further indicted, which is very likely, and even on trial, which is even more likely, in multiple jurisdictions and then the GOP goes forward with convention next August 2024 promoting him as their candidate - sorry, I just think that's so sick-making, it will turn a lot of Americans off. Not the cult members but Americans. That will be even more bizarre than their 2020 convention. And remember, by then, the cases will have been tried, his testimony has been heard through the prosecutor's evidence (Trump will not be taking the stand in any of these cases)...I just don't see this playing out the way the GOP thinks it will. Trump has done nothing to increase his share of the electorate. I see record turnout from Democrats and a lot of disillusioned, deflated, disgusted voters on the other side who will likely stay home. They're not going to vote for Biden but there won't be anybody to vote for on the GOP ticket, Trump or no Trump. His dwindling base will turnout - probably about 22% of the electorate in the end - but they're not enough to actually win. And by November 2024, who is going to think that Trump is fit to occupy the White House again? But he's not going to loosen his grip on the GOP and if they desert him, he'll just split the party further. It's not like those that remain are all going to fall in line behind someone else. I mean, they're fucked.

DeSantis’s only hope for the nomination is if Dump implodes. Otherwise he won’t get it. He’s trying to double down and try and beat Dump as if both were viable candidates. He should have just tried to stay somewhat sane and wait for whatever happens with Dump to happen. If he did he’d have a chance in the general election. As it is, he seems even more batshit crazy than Dump, and that’s not how to win the general election.

His views are too extreme for most college educated, suburban Republicans and Independents. Trying to run to the ‘right’ of Trump has very little space. Diehard MAGAs are cultists who are committed to Trump whatever direction he takes them.

Bashing “woke”, what all that may entail, and victimizing LGBT and going on a crusade to deny them rights, is the essence of DeSantis’ governance and campaign.

Most every family, even the conservatives ones, have gay relatives, and/or friends or associates. It exists on all socio-economic levels.

Trump is strangling the GOP. Remember when they wanted to "shrink the federal government until they could drown it in a bathtub" or somesuch thing? This is like that, keep breaking voter blocs off of the GOP until it's small enough to drown in the bathtub.
They'll destroy themselves. All we have to do is get out of the way and watch, so that's nice.

Lemme tell ya how this is going to go, you can already see the lines forming.
The GOP has 20% of their voters who do not want Trump on the ticket. They voted for him twice before but they just think he comes with too much baggage now and they want somebody else. These are somewhat sensible people.
Then there are about 23% - to maybe 27% of their voters who are total MAGA and will not accept any candidate other than Trump.
This is a recipe for total GOP disaster.
If Trump is on the ticket, and keep in mind this would be over 15 months from now when he will likely be prosecuted and found guilty in probably at least 1 Federal case (J6, which looks like it will be going 1st) and at least 1 other state case (NY AG) and several more civil cases, with at least 1 Federal case and another state case on-going PLUS all of the fake elector trials which are going to play hard in those states, as Trump deserting his supporters and getting them in trouble, etc., look for many of these Trump supporters to recant their support now that they've been sentenced to serve 14 years in jail, etc. SO, all of that is yet to come and people, even Trump supporters, are tired of it. The people who will get the most of this are the Democrats who have been waiting, rather patiently, for about 7 years for this moment and will feel very vindicated. SO, if Trump is on the ticket, there will be a lack of enthusiasm for GOP voters, many of whom will feel as though they've been duped all these years and trust no one.
If someone else is on the ticket, the lack of enthusiasm will be even greater from MAGA. Whomever this candidate is, they don't stand a chance.
AND if Trump isn't on the ticket, there's always the chance of him running 3rd party which will just further cement the growing split in the GOP. I'm sure his people are already looking into this and planning and plotting what would be another huge fund-raising boon for him.
SO, again: the GOP is FUCKED.

The observer was an intelligent and educated man. His notes indicate surprise at Hitler’s reputation as a great speaker (this was the huge deal about Hitler in the late 20s to early 30s — his speaking.) The observer said Hitler was saying things a child should be able to see right through.

R357, I’ll accept that! I’ve been saying for awhile (ever since DeSantis imploded) that if Dump drops out, Christie will be the nominee, and my family (of liberals) thinks I’m nuts. But it’s a process of elimination. No way it’s Ramaswamy or Haley—just never. And Tim Scott is a nobody. Now, a nobody can come on and take the nomination (like Obama) but they damn well better be charismatic, which Tim Scott is not. Who’s left? Christie.
Christie absolutely cannot win in a general election, so I see perhaps somebody like a Romney step in, but I doubt it.

It’s like in 2016 when people said Trump couldn’t win because so many people disliked him. What they didn’t factor in was how loathed Hillary was, more than Trump, in enough states to make an electoral majority.

DeSantis and Ramaswamy are spewing extreme right-wing political views that make Trump look, by comparison, somewhat reasonable if he wasn’t carrying so much baggage of corruption.
Corporations/big business don’t like DeSantis’ attacks and vindictiveness toward Disney and Anheuser-Busch. Government/politicians may seek to regulate corporations pertaining to environmental, banking, and monopolistic matters; and advocate they pay a higher share in taxation; but all that is fair game and appropriate roles for government. What corporations find offensive, is DeSantis viciously intruding in their marketing initiatives. DeSantis wants private enterprise to discriminate against the LGBT+ communities.

Tim Scott has said he is no longer a virgin:
The politician’s public claims of virginity date to the early and mid-’90s, when he was running for city council in Charleston, South Carolina.
But Scott can no longer claim to be a virgin, it seems. After he was appointed to the Senate in 2012, the National Journal asked him if he was sticking to his pledge of abstinence.
“Not as well as I did then,” Scott said. He was 46 at the time.

Trump wants a very outspoken running mate for VP, who will vigorously claim the 2020 election was stolen along with her defeat in 2022 for the Arizona Governor’s race. Trump and Lake are tight. Trump May defy the pundits, and pick Lake, even if her loud mouth may step on his insistence to be the center of attention. Like Trump, Lake is eager to tell self-serving lies that are whoppers.

R396, that NBC article (from election day 2020) is based on exit polls; further data and study don't tell the same story. Furthermore, the article only claims (based on those exit polls) that black men's support for the Democrat went down 2% between 2016 and 2020 (notice the word "slightly" in the title): even if those numbers had proved accurate, it wouldn't mean much. And NBC's numbers don't indicate what percentage of black men voted for a 3rd-party candidate. Maybe a black male running mate would help Trump's numbers—but I doubt Scott's the best man for that job.
