It is who they are and what they do.

Are there any voters that have not decided on Trump by this point?

Do you think DeSantis or Cruz or whoever has had affairs with porn stars? How about the ‘grab them by the p***y’ quotes’?

These are real things that turn off a lot of people and have absolutely burned his chances with a lot of people.

It seems like a lot of people are willing to go with what they know (Trump) over what they don’t know using shaky logic.

I notice Ace has a post about Palin up now and is encouraging her to drop out because she is too divisive a figure to win. Trump is the ULTIMATE divisive figure.

And I haven’t even brought up Trump’s age because you know that will magically become an issue with Biden out of the picture.

None of this is fair but it is a fact that will be a major issue if he runs.

Have you forgotten “whatever it takes” and “ends and means?” Or how the left and Democrats operate when dealing with “semi-fascists,” aka, you, me, and all non-leftists?

Seriously, Griffin.

I think most people who comment here are well aware that the anti-Trump propaganda has worked on a lot of people. I also seem to recall that most commenters here would prefer DeSantis to run. But it is also the case that he might not run, and/or that Trump might be the nominee anyway (in or out of prison).

You say they will attack Trump the most if he is the nominee. I actually disagree. They will attack any nominee as much as they can. The question is whether the attack will stick, and how much support the person can muster. Trump’s attacks have stuck with some voters, but he also has tremendous support from a lot of others. How much support will DeSantis be able to muster in the face of the inevitable attacks? And will some of the most fervent Trump supporters refuse to vote for him in the general? And who will the Democrat opponent be – Biden or someone else?

We don’t know.

And the argument that they will attack whoever the nominee is seems odd to me. Of course they will but that doesn’t mean we have to pick the candidate they will attack the most.

Let them attack DeSantis education bill because polling has shown that most people agree with it even Democrat support is substantial for the law.

The attacks on DeSantis or whoever will be more policy related and less personal and I believe our policies are defendable even in this current world.

Sorry, you’re just falling for propaganda. I well recall how I agreed with everything in the Contract With America, but thought that Newt Gingrich character was just too much until after the election when I actually got to see and hear him on C-Span and realized what a bill of goods I’d been sold. I’m old enough to remember the same lying, toxic sludge being tossed around about that evil mean-spirited blowhard Rush Limbaugh. If an individual wants to believe what someone else tells them. I say: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGu8qiBUf-4. But as for me, I “won’t get fooled again!”
