They're all in on the MAGA/Trump train and when he goes down poor little Ronald isn't going to be able to drum up enough support either. Even if by default. I wish I could be that optimistic but every last Republican I know who isn't a diehard cult member claim that they don't want Trump to run. But when pressed they all admit that if he wins the nomination they will vote for him over a Democratic. That leaves independent swing voters who vote strictly in things like gas prices and who have no concept that democracy is on the line. Throw in the headwinds that Democrats face including the likelihood of running a geriatric candidate and I can absolutely see Trump getting elected again especially if Desantis swallows his pride and crawls on the ticket as VP. The perfect storm is brewing Link to comment

I guess not totally in a masochistic sort of way. The "I told you so" value would be epic...short-lived but banner. Link to comment
