"SNIP.......
A new Yahoo News/YouGov poll finds that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis now leads Donald Trump by 5 percentage points in the race for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination, 47% to 42%.
DeSantis is ahead by even more a whopping 11 points among Americans who say they voted in a 2016 Republican primary or caucus in their state.

Applegrove:
For this face off to happen all the Republicans need is for other potential Presidential GOP candidates not run in the primary. Good luck with them putting the party first over their own ambitions.

(10,279 posts)filleting of his life. DeSatan becomes frozen when challenged with an unexpected and unprepared question. While he tries to contruct answers, Trump will be cutting with rapid-fire comments on DeSatan's deficiencies. DeSatan will never catchup, and he will be shown to be an incoherent incompetent fool. Remember, Trump filleted alive his competition at the beginning of the GOP primary in 2016.

(12,463 posts)The MAGAT's will love him. Policy-wise, no difference with Trump.
Trump will end up playing nice with DeSantis, ya know why? Because Trump wants a guaranteed pardon and friendly DoJ from a future GOP POTUS.
NO WAY Trump burns that bridge.

(24,317 posts)that the republican primaries are rigged against him. Millions will not vote for DeSantis in the general election because he stole the primaries from Trump. It's going to be a beautiful thing.
