GOP Primary: The numbers are looking good for Trump

Former Vice President Mike Pence is burrowing deeper into Iowa, crucial to his effort to dislodge the Republican front-runners, even before he has announced his bid. Former Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey is intensifying preparations for another campaign, with an expected focus on New Hampshire. And Republican donors and leadership on Capitol Hill are showing fresh interest in Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina, who kicked off his campaign last week. Even candidates who have barely been mentioned are suddenly expressing interest in 2024.
The rapidly ballooning field, combined with Trump’s seemingly unbreakable core of support, represents a grave threat to DeSantis, imperiling his ability to consolidate the non-Trump vote, and could mirror the dynamics that powered Trump’s takeover of the party in 2016.
It’s a matter of math: Each new entrant threatens to steal a small piece of DeSantis’ potential coalition — whether it be Pence with Iowa evangelicals or Scott with college-educated suburbanites. And these new candidates are unlikely to eat into Trump’s votes. The former president’s base — more than 30% of Republicans — remains strongly devoted to him.
“President Trump — he should go to the casino, he’s a lucky guy,” Dave Carney, a veteran Republican strategist based in New Hampshire, said of the former casino owner, Trump.
“It’s a gigantic problem” for DeSantis, added Carney, who has worked on past presidential campaigns, because “whatever percentage they get makes it difficult for the second-place guy to win because there’s just not the available vote.
Trump’s advisers have almost gleefully greeted each successive entry as part of a divide-and-conquer strategy that his team has spoken about since 2021. And many of the candidates seem more comfortable throwing punches at DeSantis than at Trump.
The DeSantis campaign sees the landscape differently.
“We don’t believe it’s 2016 again,” Ryan Tyson, a senior adviser to DeSantis, said in an interview.

Most of these losers just want to be on Trump's cabinet. No idea what Pence wants. Can not believe Pence would get a single vote. Trumpers hate him. I hate him. He is a weird little man.

A cabinet that is never going to exist
Guys like Sununu are fine with Trump losing to Biden again, because they think they will be the white knight to save the party in 2028

It's over before it even started.
The longer it goes, the worse it gets for Meatball Ron. We elected him in Fl, but FL isn't general election. And he's tied with Trump in FL.
Potato would love to run against Meatball. I can tell you that, it's the best matchup for Biden.

How is an illegal immigrant protest of an anti-illlegal immigration bill a reflection of DeSantis losing support?

You guys are going to begin to realize that Trump is the nominee and MSM and the left will do everything to get him the nomination. Dems want to run against Trump.
Once he is assured the nomination DOJ will drop something, sedition, treason, etc.
WHITE middle and upper middle class WOMEN, teachers, nurses, docs, middle and upper level managers, etc. WILL NOT vote Trump. Appeal to emotion, not logic and facts.
I know too many of them and I bet you do also.

It’s not. You’re witnessing confirmation bias

Noles & half if not all of the RonBot group are here just to divide. They could give a rats petard if DeSantis loses. NeverTrumper neocon diehards mixed with all the boards democrats.
They flame like sophomoric children-never discussing the issues. I admit, I enjoy shitposting trolling back to them; but if they are ignored, maybe real discussion can happen. Like the DeSantis geo-politics.
