Because he’s been doubted at every step. “Electric cars? That will never work!” “Sending rockets into space? Good luck with that!” I myself was a skeptic until I saw that rocket land on a pad in the middle of the ocean. And now he’s the richest man in the world and will probably be the first trillionaire once SpaceX goes public.
Yeah, they had to increase budgets after they reduced them because of the rise in crime and public backlash. But the damage to the country, and the Dems, has already been done.
DeSantis is considered to be a MAGA guy. If he wins the nomination, Trump's followers will get behind him and so will many more people who wouldn't want to vote for Trump.
Transition periods are often difficult. Not even 2 weeks in is hardly the time for libs to start chortling. But the bigger thing is that the lib echo chamber is gone.
It won't work with DeSantis.
The Dems were almost dead before they coalesced around Joke. It may split it but someone will have to get nominated and then that will bring the base back together. They don't want Dems in power.
Pence has no shot. He might as well not even bother.
Not stupid so much as they know they need to avoid the topic. Not that talking about it and saying "we'll make it better after the mid-terms" would be a winning message.
Does he? And Trump didn't need to tell me what is plainly obvious. I've known for a decade that Dems won't want voter ID and do want mail-in and drop boxes for a reason.
Like I said, voters are voting for the Repubs to fix inflation (because with the composition of the government they can't on their own), they voting to stop the Dems from continuing to make it worse.
