2024 Presidential Politics
A quick thought occurred seeing an article about all the new entrants into the GOP race. It may not work out and I’m sure it isn’t a plan because all these clowns have big ego’s and actually think they should be President, but what if the field gets so diluted that it actually helps DeSantis get past Trump. Head to head is much tougher although I still think DeSantis should win. With 6,8 or 10 in the field it will draw a lot of votes away from Trump looking for an alternative. Sure the hard core MAGA types who don’t carefully evaluate all aspects of each candidate will stick with him but they were never going to go for anyone else as long as Trump was in the race. What I thought was a stupid shitshow with a bunch of clowns (one or two are OK) could help RDS in the end.
Did you miss the 2016 Republican primaries? There must have been twenty candidates. Why didn’t your theory work then? This is your wish masquerading as analysis.
Wrong. 2016 was unique just as 2024 will be. That is like saying every previous election would have the same result regardless of who the candidates were. If RDS ran in 2016 with the same track record after having been a successful Govenor, Trump never would have gotten the nomination. Apples and oranges.
You’re all over the place! You argue that multiple candidates will weaken Trump’s support. It didn’t work in’16. Why would it work in ’24?
How is it all over the place? Each race has different candidates competing, that is what matters, not the fact that there are 16, 3, or even 50, it is WHO those candidates are and their records. Nothing about 2016 is the same, except Trump and Pence are both running again, everything else is different.
