The Frankish Reich Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Latest poll shows DeSantis with ... 5 PERCENT of the Republican New Hampshire Primary vote. Five percent? I know he hasn't run a good campaign, but really ... I'm starting to feel sorry for the guy. How could it have gone this wrong? I mean, objectively he should be a strong candidate in today's Republican Party. Is it really just a Cult of Trump after all? DeSantis supporters, please chime in!

Because they see fake polls like this and think Trump is really going to win this time https://www.ajc.com/politics/ajc-poll-trump-leads-biden-in-pivotal-georgia/3MVR7TBMC5EDNEULPE5FA6GZXE/ They’re convinced of this - they’ve been seeing these polls since last year’s indictments/Democrat election interference to make Trump a martyr. It has absolutely nothing to do with DeSantis - who by the way showed well above the fake Iowa polls. It will be the same in NH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But his roughly 20% in the real (not poll) Iowa caucuses is pretty damn poor - looking at the average of the most recent Iowa polls, he was at 15.8%. So maybe he outperformed that by about 5 percentage points. I don't like it because I'm an Anyone But Trump guy now, but it just looks like Trump is putting it away early .... EDIT: I'm kind of amazed when polls these days turn out to be generally accurate. I mean, who answers a call from a pollster? But here, the polls had Trump at 52.4% in Iowa. Pretty damn close ...

Doc Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 The Dems should try indicting DeSantis. Maybe then his poll numbers will rise... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orlando Tim Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 DeSantis has to grow a lot as a retail politician is he wants to president. I think the last time s president was a lesser retail president was Ike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Frankish Reich Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 I'm no Ron fan. But even I'm a little confused (dare I say disturbed?) by how he got zero traction. Why? Well, because he has been an effective governor of a big state. I don't agree with a lot (most) of his policy agenda. But he's pushed it through, and he's been generally a forceful and accomplished practitioner of the modern post-Trump agenda. Scott Walker was pretty similar in 2015: he reoriented Wisconsin politics in a more pre-Trump Republican direction, despite having a fairly slim margin in the state house and in the voters as a whole. So here's what I glean from that: at least in the (post-modern/post-Trump) Republican Party, accomplishment in government really counts for nothing. Zero. No one cares. No one wants to hear about your record. It is irrelevant. It may even be worse than irrelevant - that is, an actual negative - because it shows that you've been a part of the government before. We dismiss you, Scott, Ron, probably Nikki starting next week. All that "Governor is the best experience for a Presidential candidate" stuff we heard since Reagan, through Bush 43? Over. Eff your resume. We like the septuagenarian insult comic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team Communist making Trump a martyr for the last 10 months to advance him in the primary worked. It’s that simple. I’m going to enjoy the ***t out of Trump Twitter in November 2024. By Trump Twitter I’m talking about the grifters terrified to lose influence and clicks in the event they turn on Trump. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is amazing that someone who says that many stupid and childish things even gets 5%. After all that storm and fury, he is once again irrelevant. 7 minutes ago, Big Blitz said: Team Communist making Trump a martyr for the last 10 months to advance him in the primary worked. Always a conspiracy. Yeah, various prosecutors brought tons of charges because they wanted Trump to get a publicity boost and win the nomination. Don't overthink this. The "It's a Cult" posters have a far simpler explanation. Because ... It's a Cult. Edited January 21 by The Frankish Reich 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So while some may choose to laugh at Ron (and then Nikki), they won't be laughing so hard when Trump becomes 47. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
