re: #359 No Malarkey!

DeSantis is not closing the gap with Trump, which is widening, but he is with Vivek Ramaswamy, who is currently in third place, watching DeSantis’ numbers fall back toward him. The members of Cult45 just don’t like politicians, which is why it will be very difficult for one of them to assume the mantle of leadership of MAGA from Trump.

Part of the problem, too, is that with Trump in the race, the non-Trumpers have to find a way to attack Trump without attacking Trump. If he wasn’t in the race at all, it’s very possible that DeathSentence would be the runaway favorite for the nomination, depending on how the MAGAt base perceive him as far as toadying up to their mango messiah.
