If DeSantis hates "hispanics" then that group still voted for him by 15% over Crist.
Q: How many gay people moved from "oppressive" Florida to the "freedom" loving -- and rona vax "mandate" city of New York in the last three years? Barely any?
Hispanics like DeSantis and many Dems crossed over to re-elect him.
A Republican buddy of mine didn't think it was a big deal that Trump was running again. "He won't win the nomination as the primary voters will rally around someone else - probably DeSantis - just like the Dems did when it looked like Sanders was going to win."
I told him. I don't think you really get Trump. Dude's ego is too big. He'll never accept a loss. Plus I think it's quite likely he's making money off these campaigns. He'll run as a third party candidate and then it's game, set, match, loss for the GOP.
My buddy was like, "Wow. You're right, i hadn't thought of that."
I think there is almost zero chance Trump wins the nomination - less than 5% but a great than 25% chance he goes 3rd party. What do you think?
Going third party requires a TON of work to get on the ballot, and lots of elbow grease organizing. If he loses the nomination, he’ll spend the next 2 years destroying the Republican Party and working to sabotage every race possible. He’s spiteful, not ambitious.
Wyoming has 1 vote in the House. California has 53.
The president is powerless without the House.
Take a civics class.
We know how the legislature works, Mr. Popularity.
A vote for President by a citizen in Wyoming is worth more than a vote for President in California, and neither is worth as much as a vote in a battleground state and that is wrong.
Millions of Republican and Democrat votes for President are worthless because they’re in politically lopsided states. Abolishing the Electoral College and moving to direct election of the Presidency by the electorate would mean that the vote by a Republican in Orange County would have as much weight as that of a Democrat in Jackson, Mississippi.
No one is making a case on how that isn’t fair. We have the Constitution to protect the minority of the electorate from a tyranny of the majority.
The Democrats ignore the Constitution whenever it isn't convenient.
The system isn't perfect but it is FAR better than what you're proposing.
This is fascinating and will, at the very least, make he next 2 years interesting. Trump is the GOPs worst nightmare, but the other possible Presidential candidates are weak (and this includes the new hot boy DeSantis) so I can see him bullying his way to being the republican nominee. But, if DeSantis were to grow a pair and actually take on Trump that would be spectacular to watch. Who would the Trumpies go with? Their lord, god and savior? Or the candidate that could actually get the far right into the white house? Trumpies are too far gone to become DeSantites. I think, while the GOP are talking a good game now, when Trump pushes they will all fall into line like the cowards they are.
TBH, wouldn't surprise me to see the republicans who want Trump out routing for him to be disqualified from running because of one of his many legal issues.
America is now being ruled not by President Joe Biden but a small, radical minority that couldn’t care less about the US Constitution. Biden made that clear when he caved to the Squad on Tuesday an…
The current situation at the southern border . . . is an “invasion” as the Constitution uses the term. Biden’s failure to stop it is a violation of the Guarantee Clause.
You don't care about any of them because the Constitution is "an outdated document written by old racist white guys" to paraphrase the official Democrat position on the Constitution.

The GOP Senate Majority leader refused to do his Constitutional duty and hold a hearing for Supreme Court candidate Merrick Garland. If you’re going to vote against him, then vote against him. But the Constitution says that federal court nominees from the President receive the advice and consent of the Senate and that never happened.
The GOP also said that, had Clinton been elected in 2016, they would continue to refuse to hold any hearings for potential Supreme Court vacancies, in contempt of what the Constitution says.
And what did Boogeyman Obama do about that? A recess appointment? Appointment on the basis of implied consent? He let the GOP get away with it.
Then when Democrats filibustered Gorsuch’s vote, the GOP controlled Senate just changed the rules to require a simple majority for Supreme Court appointments to get him through.
It was really inconvenient for you that Scalia died while Obama was President, wasn’t it? And really inconvenient that the Senate leadership had ever refused to hold a hearing on a Supreme Court nominee, election year or not. And it was really convenient that RBG died six weeks before Trump was voted out of office and McConnell could violate the precedent he had set four years earlier to ram another conservative judge into the court.
And after all that, Trump really wanted Pence to just reject the electors from a few states, in violation of the Constitution, in a desperate bid to send the vote back to the state delegations in the House to secure him another term.
Democrats have flouted Constitutional protections and norms numerous times throughout history. I am not so blind as to not see that.
There’s a real world out there that you’re not apart of.

DeSantis won a swing state by 20 points.
You only think he's "weak" because you live in a leftist bubble.
DeSantis is already crushing Trump as well as Biden in the polls.
Trump is the Democrats best chance in 2024. It's amusing that you're so desperate to keep him from running.

McConnell did what pretty much every other Senate majority did in an election year when an opposition president nominated a SCOTUS judge. Following precedent isn't unconstitutional.
And Merrick Garland's corruption and ineptitude as the AG has shown that he had absolutely no business on the court.

Ok, but what you point out isn't a dem thing, it's a politician thing. Folks from all sides have done this forever. I have no problem with you pointing out that the politicians on the left have done and continue to do things that are questionable. But at least call it like it is on the right too.
For the record, as a left leaning independent I am against the student loan forgiveness plan and against wild and unchecked illegal immigration. I am onboard with the GOP as it pertains to opposing debt forgiveness, but how funny some that oppose got free money from the government for their businesses. Also, the GOP have struck down immigration reform for decades. They won't even allow it to come up for a vote.
Back to the topic at hand. Adult, who wins between Trump and DeSantis? DeSantis would certainly get the votes (not mine) over Biden in 2024, but Trump would lose big to Biden if they both ran again. Would the hardcore M AGA crowd abandon Trump?

See my post above.
DeSantis is not strong. He's a coward and I'm certain he will not "put up" against Trump. Trump has already gone on the attack and DeSantis has sat quietly. DeSantis absolutely beats Biden in a head to head. But, his policies are far right and if he is the nominee her will have the crazies behind him. That will scare the independents and moderates away. If the Dems put up a different candidate DeSantis won't win.

The GoP wants the border secured before concessions are made on immigration reform. Democrats want blanket amnesty and then "wink wink" we'll worry about the border later.
No rational human being can pretend the Democrats give 2 sh*ts about the border. Democrats think illegals will crap out little Democrats so they are ALL for it.
Meanwhile, Chuck Schumer literally went on camera yesterday and admitted that Replacement Theory is the official position of the Democratic party.
Meanwhile, the Biden administration continues deporting Cubans for voting in a way he doesn't like while completely ignoring the southern border.
A new poll surveying Florida residents has found that Florida Governor Ron DeSantis would trounce former President Donald Trump in a 2024 Republican Party presidential primary. The poll, conducted late last week by Sachs Medi...

Show me one example of what McConnell did happening before. It never happened before. And then he did a 180 and pushed through a lifetime Supreme Court appointment weeks before a presidential election.

WRONG. You are a clueless buffoon. But everyone knew that.
Give us all the examples of McConnell's "precedent,: where the controlling party froze out a president from getting a hearing on his Supreme Court nominee for a long as Repubs did.

You want me to show you American history? Look it up.
There have been 10 occasions in US history where a SCOTUS seat opened in an election year when the president and the Senate were from opposite parties.
90% of the time there is no confirmation.
In the 29 occasions where the seat opened up in an election year with the president and the Senate were of the same party there was a confirmation... 29 times.
You being ignorant doesn't mean the precedent doesn't exist. You were told to be outraged so you're outraged without even knowing why. That's liberalism 101.
