[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah.  All of this handwringing about a guy who has an amazing record.  I think he will dispense with Trump with ease.  The loud Magas— the people at CPAC— make it seem like republicans want Trump.  Most of us don’t.  We are excited for DeSantis or Haley.  So the real question is whether DeSantis’s record of monitoring urinalysis or working as a JAG will an issue in a competition with Biden. Fully confident that DeSantis will handle Biden in a devastating and yet completely respectful way.  He will let Biden make a fool of himself and just remained poised as it happens.  Cannot wait. [/quote]

DeSantis will first have to "handle" Trump before he can "handle" Biden. Don't be so sure that Trump won't prevail. [/quote]

Yeah thanks.  Voted for trump twice.  He is done.  He is a net negative now.  He needs to go away and most of us feel that way. [/quote]

Since you seem so sure that most Republicans agree with you about Trump, can you explain why the Republican establishment as a whole--not just a handful of people--won't disavow Trump?[/quote]

It isn’t necessary to have a war with trump.  He still motivates a lot of people.  [/quote]

I get that Trump motivates people so they don't want to cut him loose, but Trump also has the ability to inflict serious damage on DeSantis and whomever else he tussles with during the primaries. And if he doesn't prevail in the primaries, he will spend his time attacking the GOP establishment and their anointed candidate. He will keep communicating with and riling up his base (the folks who are in his cult of personality) and will draw votes away from the GOP candidate. He will not fall in line and support the GOP candidate who will go up against Biden. So as much as you'd like to dismiss Trump, he is not going away. He will burn it all down if he has to.[/quote]

I don’t dismiss him.  Your analysis of him is spot on.  As I said, he has become a net negative.  He is a take no prisoners kind of guy and he will absolutely lash out at anyone and everyone that challenges him whether it’s good for the Republican Party or the country or not.  And republicans know it!  He is definitely the old guy who yells outrageous stuff all the time and so he is going to end up ignored.  Yes some people still want him but they want to win more than they want him.  He wants him to be president more than he wants a republican to be president.  He feels like he got a raw deal and frankly I think he did with Russia collusion hoax and COVID happening.  But that’s the way it went and now he is a has been.  He doesn’t know it but he is.  But like Barack, and Bill Clinton, he fires people up.  So he is going to be a helpful motivating tool and then once DeSantis declares in May, he will just rail agains DeSantis and I suspect DeSantis will do what he does which is to obliquely reference trump but not fire back until the debates.  And then I think DeSantis will just rise above as the most poised, intelligent, forward looking, hopeful, candidate.[/quote]

You are ignoring the media.   How do they make their money out of this situation?   [/quote]
