    - wait, you think DeSantis is taking the nom away from 45*? .. uh-uh -- nm - mud Jan 30, 13:13 21
      - I do, and I don't think it will be particularly close at all. DeSantis has massive support that's not being talked about. -- nm - MDH Jan 30, 13:51 10
        
        "State Republicans Want More Trump" -- (link) - hollywood big shot Jan 30, 13:55 5
        
        Well those people are more Maga then even DJT is, so that makes sense. - Jovian Jan 30, 13:58 4
        
        also the ones who do the actual primary voting and such -- nm - hollywood big shot Jan 30, 13:59 1
        
        Yes. And if/when more GOP fascists jump into the race, they to, will jump on board. - Jovian Jan 30, 14:03
        
        (conversely why Ron is already traveling down the Extreme Maga lane) -- nm - Jovian Jan 30, 13:59 1
        
        it's easy to play to the Florida rubes, especially when you just stop talking to the press -- nm - hollywood big shot Jan 30, 14:04
        
        I mean as recently as yesterday, Mango Mussolini was going after Ron for *closing* Florida during Covid. (if you need to make up such a lie??) -- (edited) - Jovian Jan 30, 13:53 3
        
        Trump attacked DeSantis for reopening the schools. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 30, 14:37

        Dont be so sure. They almost certainly win the General with Ron. The same just can not be said with Mango Bitch Boy. -- nm - Jovian Jan 30, 13:24
        
        I would love to see their rigging fail and their panic when they have to choose between two in the general ... -- nm - Beryllium Jan 30, 13:21 3
        
        wait for it .. -- nm - mud Jan 30, 13:23 2
        
        They say competition is healthy. Maybe they'll thrive in a three-party world. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 30, 13:41 1
        
        They can also encourage and fund a 3rd party from the democrats they've done it before - zeitgeist Jan 30, 13:44
        
        Id rather the 50-70% chance of DeSantis winning the general, over the 20-30% chance DJT getting back in office. -- nm - Jovian Jan 30, 13:16 2
        
        I may need to take a break today since Jovian and I are agreeing on something. :-) -- nm - MDH Jan 30, 13:52 1
