Trump or DeSantis. I'm going DeSantis because he can actually win suburban housewives and maybe some of the miserable unmarried women but those will probably go for hair gel guy in huge numbers. He can also appeal more so to other communities. If Trump is serious about winning he needs to change his tone quickly because he's already losing support with the DeSantis attacks.

    This is not even a debate after Tuesday. DeSantis CRUSHED it in Florida. Trump saw a ton of his endorsements flame out badly. Doesn't matter how right Trump is on issues, he's damaged goods and there's no way he can rehab his image enough to win an election at this point.

    Trump is 219-16 on endorsements. Hardly crushed, name a better record. He has a YUGE following.

    This isn't really a number that means anything. Matt Gaetz and Jim Jordan were winning with or without Trump's endorsement for example. Kind of like the NCAA bracketology guys that claim they got 62 out of 64 projections right. When in reality they went like 50% because only the last 5 or so spots are even questionable.

    Bama plays Stetson before Auburn, too.

    This. Unless more states adopt election integrity laws, the dem machine can manufacture all the votes they need to put any idiot they select in office.

    Yes, this is my point. The high-profile endorsements were hardly successful for Trump.

    He didn't win the bowel game in PA.

    Vance in Ohio was a big one

    Depends on Walker and Arizona whether he can claim half a natty

    If Trump endorsed candidates did poorly in purple states and they did that does not bode well for DeSantis regardless of his ceiling

    Cocaine Mitch sucked it up and spent $30+ million to back Vance. Tough to say that Trump's backing was the difference there.
