2024 Presidential Election Thread

[Northwestcoug]

The campaign has barely started. DeSantis isn't toast. Anything can happen when the debates start. Trump has some glaring vulnerabilities that will be exploited by the other candidates. DeSantis is smart and he's cunning. He will ultimately present a challenge.

Yeah this is a winning strategy that will close the 30 point gap:

When the choice is between Trump and Trump-lite, why would the fanatical GOP primary voters pick the watered-down choice?

lol Dude needs to enroll in a BYU Poli-Sci class online and figure out his campaign. Trump is as far to the right as you can be and still be considered a mainstream politician. Too far, actually. So far, in fact, that he forfeit the last election. He only won in 2016 because it wasn't so clear how far right his actual policies were in relation to his rhetoric. So what's Ron DeSantis' strategy? Is it step to the left of Trump and gobble up all that real estate to the center and try to cut into Biden's support right of center? No. It's step to the RIGHT of Trump and gobble up all the KKK members and private militia members that Trump isn't extreme enough for. What a dumb frumpy dipshit.

Wait. There’s no smoking gun on the ‘Biden Family crime syndicate’, and it turns out that the low level House GOP that have been peddling stories of corruption were being played by a Chinese spy!?

I’m shocked.

Like any of this will matter to the jim jordan crowd.

It is gaslighting and your original assumption was clearly wrong.

No, it's not.

DeSantis rules out a VP run with Trump. "I'm not a Number 2 guy", sez the headline of NYT today. I mean, you kind of are Ron. Have you seen the most recent poll?

Also, kudos to this Trump spokesperson who has learned to emulate exactly how Trump would respond to DeSantis:

“Ron DeSantis isn’t anybody’s guy. He’s not ‘the guy.’ He’s just ‘a guy,’" Mr. Cheung said in a statement. “Ron is just there, sullen and sad, because his numbers are as tiny as him.”

Nice of DeSantis to acknowledge at least one facet of the Constitution, even if he just happens to agree with it by accident...

I would enjoy the DeSantis collapse a lot more if it wasn't Trump who was cleaning his clock.

This is like New Coke vs. Coca Cola Classic. You always knew who was going to win. :/

If Trump were elected again how long into office does he start arguing that he shouldn't be limited to a four year term?

don't be so surprised if he starts saying that even before being elected.

He can say whatever he wants. Actually, he does say whatever he wants. But the other branches of government have something to say. He continually loses in the courts.

Ok, but the guardrails are most definitely weakening and if he were to get back into power it would be his main object to knock them down. Would he succeed? I would hope not but also few thought he would do what he did leading up to and on Jan. 6th.
