Trump is a polarizing figure. Even for 50% of Republicans that aren't the hardcore MAGA base.

Many of them were initially willing to see DeSantis as a viable alternative. Now, over time, people have rethought the situation, we have the Biden regime going after Trump hard, and DeSantis has been unable to get ANY traction in his campaign, so people are slowly coalescing around Trump again.

I said this situation would occur a month before DeSantis announced.

A fair analysis. I don't fault DeSantis for running. He's the most prominent/successful conservative we have, and you can't blame him for thinking that might matter in a Republican primary.

I don't think the failure of his campaign is all (or even mostly) about him. What has he said or done to turn away millions of GumboPots, who a year ago was posting he hoped Trump didn't even run because DeSantis was so much better?

Trump masterfully teed RDS up as some sort of establishment hack. That was masterful not just because it was effective, but also because Trump is more of an establishment stooge than RDS has ever been, yet DT has 30% of his voters believing he's an anti-establishment warrior.

There are some who will never support Trump. It’s a reality no matter how much support he has. Suburban whites women being critical in the race.
