Here's another one: https://posteritypac.org/2024-presidential-republican-primary-poll/

Serious question--what exactly is Trump's attack on DeSantis for Covid? Is it that DeSantis locked down too much or not enough? I had thought that Trump's plan was to attack him for not pushing the Trump vaccines enough or not locking down enough, but now it seems to be the opposite?

Related--what does "Ron DeSanctimonious" mean? I think this is the same question--as I understand the original context it had to do with DeSantis's Covid response, but I don't understand what it has to do with being sanctimonious?

Great post. Let's hope the anti-Trump field is left to DeSantis. Jim Dueholm.

It would be nice if Trump bowed out but he won’t. I’d like to see DeSantis run and I think he could beat Trump in the primary mostly because a lot of Trump voters do not actually identify directly with the Republican Party and don’t vote in primaries (nor in off-year elections, apparently). However DeSantis will have an extremely difficult time getting those same people to vote for him in the general because they are the kind that love Trump and voted for him as a protest, and because they think the system is rigged anyway, they won’t be as motivated since they wouldn’t have an emotional connection with DeSantis. Yet anyway I say: DeSantis-Paul 2024! It probably won’t matter because Trump will be jailed. They’ll never let him run. By the way, a lot of elections actually are rigged.
