Chances Trump claims this if Desantis wins:

100%


He already claimed it in 2016 when he lost Iowa.

If the poll numbers tighten to +/- 5% then we can see some rigging. With poll numbers as they are now, no rigging.

ETA: The RNC is a private company and they nominate whoever they want. The people in RNC leadership that want any candidate besides Trump are however in a pickle. The RNC has to give the appearance of a fair primary in order to retain legitimacy. A lot more so in the RNC than the DNC.

In the DNC wing of the Uniparty bird a lot more rigging happens in the DNC than the RNC.

What if The Meatball won the election, removed his VP and named Trump as his VP? Once Trump takes the oath, Meatball steps down.

That thought is confusing to the Deep State right now.

It's starting to set in, isn't it Trumpies?

Reality can come at you really fast some times.

I expect they will......Ron needs to get the scrubs and wannabes out and consolidate the opposition and the RINO wing will fall in line behind Ron obviously.

If he can do that and he can take Trump to the mats at the convention and do some wheeling and dealing, I like Ron's chances.. Keep Trump on an island with his hard core supporters and Ron can take it.

Hardcore MAGA types will be pissed, but we will take the White House and Ron as nominee will help down ticket. 2024 could be stellar. This all obtainable sans one man's ego

I don't think the RNC can rig primaries like the DNC can. The DNC essentially chooses the candidate, not democrat voters.

The silly rigging part aside, Gumbo, what do you think we'll realistically see as far as 2 candidate polling with Trump/DeSantis - how close do you expect DeSantis to get?

Call rigging what you want but we have seen in front of the world it happens in live time, idc honestly I’ll vote for either but 4 years of Trump pissing on dimocrat agendas and 8 years of Desantis sounds better to me. That’s the way conservatives should be thinking but we all know they don’t because they are just as fuking stupid as the loons on the left and let their pride get the best of them.

That is why Trump is all over DeSantis, now. He wants to DeSantis on the defensive now and he wants this to be over before it even starts. He wants to enter the primaries with the polls showing him up 20. If that's the case, then nobody can steal it. If the polls are close, then the election can be stolen from him.

So if DeSantis DOES win, then it was rigged, huh?
Sounds vaguely familiar.

You have some of the worst logic.

I'm sure you believed 2020 was stolen until you saw Ron DeSantis as an option for 2024 and became a woman.
