The media calling the caucuses 30 minutes after they start is highly irresponsible

LOL. Still higher than he deserves but 4th place and <8% right now
Should Trump win, I'd totally be on board for vivek to be press secretary or un delegate or something like that
With enough people that feel like I do, he'll lose.willtackleforfood said:Quote:

He gets the "for" in the primary, then gets the "against" in the general. Which is why we took losses from 2018-2023, and will lose again in 2024.
Then blame the candidates who fail to win over voters…
DeSantis did plenty to win over voters over the course of several years as the best governor in the country and most consistent victor over the left. It's not my or his fault that people don't care about policy wins or winning general elections.
This type of condescension is a big reason hillary and the dems lost 2016. People get tired of it.

No, he didn't…maybe in your biased opinion he did, but many of yall have been wish-casting this thing from day 1 when the empirical evidence clearly showed DeSantis wasn't hitting home with voters…
The evidence that he needed to make drastic changes has been there from the beginning, but he, and many of y'all, ignored it, and called those of us pointing to what was actually going on "fools" or "Trumpers"…
Y'all had your heads in the sand as to what was actually going on…
You continue to operate under the false belief that Trump supporters could be peeled off. There is nothing DeSantis could do to change a Trump supporter to DeSantis.
I will admit I underestimated the number of people who have been fooled by Trump.

Holy projection. I'd be surprised if you can find one issue Trump is to the right of DeSantis on.
How many "conservative" president talked a big game about moving the embassy? Trump did.
Keeping us out of wars and being the world's police?
And I'm a DeSantis supporter. I just don't need to lie to justify my existence. That's very leftist, don't you think?
If he picks her to be VP, then that would be 100% true.Agthatbuilds said:Rapier108 said:He did the job Trump put him there to do.Agthatbuilds said:

The economy, the border, the wars and Joe Biden's weakness and poor health will hopefully drive people to vote for Trump. Not as overwhelming as in 1980 for Reagan, but enough to win !
It won't. Democrats keep the WH and Senate and win the House. The actual vote no longer matters in my opinion. They have control of the media and the electorate is increasingly morons.
Well, he didn't last time. And he seemed to be an anchor around the neck of candidates in 2022 (Walker, Oz, Lake, etc). The Dems are salivating to run against Trump again, and the media has been complicit.FireAg said:MemphisAg1 said:Meaning Trump essentially everywhere since 2016, except the R primary where he reigns supreme.

Think so? Guess we'll see in 2024…
Seems to me like there may very well be a groundswell of support coming for Trump if for no other reason than a lot of folks believe 2020 was stolen…
That's seems to be the sentiment coming out of Iowa…
People have moved on from the 2020 election except the diehard Trumpers.
Biden is such an awful candidate and could be easily beaten with any one of DeSantis, Haley, or Vivek. Trump is the only one who can lose due to his baggage.
We'll see. I'll eat crow if I'm wrong but would be shocked to see it.

The more people in the race the smaller amount of votes the ones (DeSantis and Haley) who have a real chance of doing well will get.
One on one Trump will struggle because non maga voters actually outnumber maga.

There's been many threads over the last year about Trump supporters voting for someone other than Trump in the general and very few said they would vote for whatever R was in the general.
I think it's why Haley is doing so well. She the only option that's presented significantly different than Trump
Vivek is Trump Jr. DeSantis, while an actually conservative with a real record, is still seen as Trump Jr.
Why vote for the imitation when the real thing is an option?

And more than enough people on the right got tired of Trump and maga and voted against their party to make sure they lost in '20. It won't take anything for them to do it again.

That poster has said probably 500 times he will vote for Trump in the general despite being a DeSantis supporter. The rest of us would happily vote for any actual conservative in the general, which Trump is not. Time to stop voting for the least smelly turd in the bowl.

Its laughable but whatever.
They did in 2022, when he won Miami of all places and performed much better than Trump did in 2020. Trump turned Georgia and Arizona blue.
DeSantis turns blue areas red.
MAGA: I WANT TRUMP!!!! PROVEN WARRIOR!

-Florida
States Trump only won once but is the only republican since Reagan to win them:
- Wisconsin

*Trump has both the first and second best performance for a republican since 1988
After 4 years in office where voters could see his performance, DeSantis turned Miami red.
Trump ran against Hillary. Working class men hated her. They didn't hate Biden. And those states all allow mail-in ballots and harvesting. Trump won't win any of them againno Republican will, actually.
Vivek would make a great Sec. of State.
