That being said desantis is now slight betting favourite over trump. And Elon has talked about shelling out major money for a moderate contender. Most people including myself believe trump and Biden lose to just about everyone besides each other. At this point it’s just a matter of seeing which party jumps ship first (and if they do the other party will almost certainly throw away their candidate as well

Most likely I see desantis beating trump and trump just giving up or dropping out early. Once trump is out expect dems to drop Biden as he has no chance against desantis and everyone knows it.

Three months ago every Trump supporter I know, which is about 70% here loved Rogan. Now they all hate Rogan.

Two weeks ago they all loved Musk, now they hate him.

Think of how many hundreds of hours Druff spent defending Bush. Now every Republican candidate who has ran for the last 20+ years is trash and a swear word.

Any bet on Desantis is a bet Trump doesn’t want it or is in prison. He can’t beat him in a primary.

Because there isn’t anything special about Desantis. He’d kill Biden, but anyone can kill Biden right now.

But if Trump set his sights on Desantis in a serious way, almost every Trump guy I know would hate him tomorrow. The GOP has a complete layup victory short of a internal war. True Trump people would 70% sit if he told them to up here in the swing states.

I can drive anywhere within a half hour and take 100 Trump sign pics today. Two years after the election. I can’t have a beer or play an hour of poker without encountering a vocal Trump supporter.

I’ve never heard anyone mention Desantis since Covid has ended. Even then any mention was more about Trump.

He doesn’t come up. It’s all Trump all day. I heard a local radio guy who is a huge Trump supporter float the idea of these candidates being too old.

About an age limit. About how Desantis at 42 might have the better energy. Every single call for the next 45 minutes I was in the car was yes Biden was too old, but not Trump, and not a single positive Desantis comment. All Trump. The dude was backpedaling almost immediately and wishing he had picked a different topic.


Five or six states matter and most are similar in makeup. You can have all the money and Fox and anything else, and it doesn’t matter. They love Trump.
I just got back from a trip to the northernmost reaches of Maine. Still relatively unaffected by the NYC, Boston money. For now. The thing that strikes you most is the modest homes that line the shore with million dollar views. There are very often lobster traps, rotten boats and rusted out Buicks in the yards…. and the requisite Trump banners and signs. These properties are where working men operate their home office

It’s still a fishing economy. Hard and dangerous work. Everywhere you turn there are memorials to lost fisherman. This, like Ohio, is where people resent soft hands and liberal subsidies to loud faggots like Musk. This is Trump country and these Jan 6 hearings will do nothing to dim their fervor and populist anger. The hearings and charges will likely energize this red state. Harvard fancy boy DeSantis has nothing to do with this narrative. Most of these people don’t know DeSantis exists.

I don’t mean to misrepresent. There indeed were the New Yorkers, and lots of Florida and it was quite plain who was local and who the moneyed were. I was always curious to watch the locals’ body language,when paths crossed.
