"SNIP........

A new Emerson College poll finds Donald Trump leading the Republican presidential primary with 62%, followed by Ron DeSantis at 16%.

No other candidate reaches double digits.

.........SNIP"

1. The next thing we will see here in Florida is legislation to remove term limits for governor.

It will be either that or DeSantis will have to decide if he wants to replace Rick Goddamn Scot, or Marcus Aurelius Rubio.

2. This both gladdens me and makes me shiver

The idea of four more years of Trump would honestly sink me into a horrible depression.

But I am not convinced Biden/Harris can beat a younger candidate due to Biden's age and our country's sexism issues, proven when Hillary ran in 2016. I think a rematch between Biden/Trump is the best shot we have of keeping the WH.

3. I agree. I don't think DeSantis could beat Biden because he has no charisma and the

MAGA base would be going through Trump withdrawal. They would stay home or vote for union champ Biden.

6. It is truly frightening that TFG could be 47

9. I don't think Trump can beat Biden. It is not even close.

11. I don't think Trump can beat him either

I think it would be close, unfortunately, due to the electoral college. The base would be rabid for him. But I think there are enough sane Americans in the middle who do not want a repeat of his four years who would hopefully give it to Biden.

14. That's what I thought in '16

10. I don't think the repub base votes for a dem

Zero chance of that happening or of them staying home even if they are disappointed DeSantis is the nominee. Do you see democrats deciding they'll vote for Trump just because they're disappointed Biden is running again? Of course not.

The ones we need to worry about are Independents. That's who it's all going to come down to. We're never going to change the minds of dems or republicans in this polarized climate. I think Independents will vote for Biden over the clusterf-- possibility of another 4 years of Trump. I am nervous that when presented with DeSantis... versus an 86 year old president... those are two choices no one likes and I don't know how they will vote.

Trump on the ticket may be our best chance of retaining the White House even if it means I don't get any sleep until the votes are counted.

12. My mom and I agreed that we need to have a plan in place to leave the US

If that happens. If Trump or Desantis wins in 2024, we have to be prepared that they will commit some absolutely unspeakable crimes against humanity which will include mass murder, mass imprisonment, public executions, basically anything short of committing genocide. Though we have to assume even that's on the table. They're that bloodthirsty and reckless and drunk with power.

4. for those that thought trump was done. Beware of the base.

5. I think they know Dump won't be available for Prez, but

they are channeling their desire for his replacement to be at least as disgustingly bad as the original.

7. Joe Biden is like a bespoke candidate who's been designed to defeat Trump in the Electoral College..

I think Biden would beat other Republicans--as well--but he's beaten Trump once, Trump is less popular today (even with his "base), and most Americans are sick of him.

In contrast, Joe Biden has been an excellent president. I'd welcome the rematch.

15. Both of them make me want to hurl. I'm not sure which one I dislike less.

Trump, who seems to be completely unhinged, or DeSantis, who is hinged but incredibly petty and gleefully cruel.
