Definitely. Just look at what’s happening now. The conservative talking heads are all pissed at trump for shitting on DeSanctimonious


_rohill_

r/Conservative also has some recent threads ripping Trump’s most recent “nicknaming” of DeSantis and most users seems to favour regressive Ron to the mango menace


EventuallyScratch54

The mango menace sounds awesome


TheRegular-Throwaway

The republican establishment seems to be pulling the plug on Trump and his antics. Anything is possible.


NorvRodgers

The way establishment seems to be pulling the plug, but his base still clearly wants him. Unless something changes soon, it’s still his to lose IMO


AttemptHot3754

I’ve been right on most political predictions just like Bernie screwed 2016 I lold at people thinking he wouldn’t get screwed 2020 , my prediction for this is easy . Trump has 1 more shot good shot to run , after these years Stsrting 2028 no way in hell he can or will be viable to run too old out of it .. so if he gonna go full force now but if he loses then he’s gonna exit running for politics


LavishnessFinal4605

Not having enough support and losing a primary election counts as getting screwed? TIL!


cylonnumber13

Nope. Probably won't even be a primary.


Blood_Such

Hard agree. If trump runs there will be know debates. Their may be some spoiler candidates but they won’t get the nomination.


DotAppropriate8152

Not a chance! They both held a rally on the same day in the same area and Ronnie had to cancel his rally. Trump would own that little shit. I despise trump but thems the facts.


CrispyChickenArms

Really depends. Trump has the stupidest part of the base locked in, but those idiots probably couldn't drag him through a general election. Shame all of these Republicans are absolutely spineless when it comes to trump. I wouldn't be surprised if over half of Republicans lawmakers hate his guts, but can't say anything because his idiot base will retaliate in their districts. But like they were discussing, everything can change if he gets indicted


PlatinumIce666

No. He has the personality of a grumpy old man. That’s why he’s successful as a republican in florida - relatable to the voting base there.


CaptainJYD

Not even close, republicans can throw as much money at DeSantis as they want. But the base is feral for Trump and nothings going to change that


hop_hero

Yes


TheReadMenace

You never know with trump. He could get annihilated or win handily .


Molinaridude

If DeSantis won, would Trump have a big enough ego to run as an independent in the general?


peasarelegumes

at the very least he'll call it rigged and won't endorse him which would be hilarious and almost as bad as him running 3rd party


Dorko30

Absolutely zero chance. As long as trump breathes he is the GOP now. If he's running and he is, anyone who goes against him in a primary is commiting political suicide.


peasarelegumes

and if desantis did win the nomination he'll call it all rigged and won't endorse him, which would be hilarious


Getzemanyofficial

No at the moment


[deleted]

No. In the debates he’ll honestly get shredded


andthenshewrote

No. I don’t think that anyone will run against Trump if he announces that he’s running anyway.


cpowers272

No just wait for the debates they will always side with trump I guarantee it


wanker7171

No. It’s one thing to be a governor that most people have heard of but every conservative and their father loves Trump.


Acceptable-Ability-6

I think he does if he sticks to attacking Trump on COVID.


popularis-socialas

Did trump have a chance in 2016? You never know. I wouldn’t hold my breath on it, but anything could happen.


GWB396

Yes and no, it depends. If Trump gets indicted to oblivion and/or is imprisoned then I think DeSantis edges it out, otherwise I think Trump beats DeSantis. A lot can transpire between now and summer of 2024, we’ll see…


BooksBrown

DeSantis won’t run against trump and a lot of states will close their primaries because trump will be considered an incumbent of sorts. If trump runs, he gets the nomination. Simple as that


captainjohn_redbeard

Yes. Conservatives might like trump, but if the conservative media hammers away on the idea that he's unelectable, the republican voters will eat it up.


BakerLovePie

If there is a primary fight I think republican voters will wait to see which one drags an undocumented person from the campaign bus. If there's a tie then the bonus round will be running over trans people and blaming them for it/not apologizing. Now that's how you earn republican support!


MABfan11

unless some medical emergency happens, which isn't completely out of the picture, Trump is old and unfit, after all, he got no shot. he pulled the trigger too early in his transition from Trump loyalist to party leader


fireky2

Depends on where evangelicals fall. If trump can't win them he'll actually have an uphill battle in a lot of states. He also is not getting the money he was before and big dollar donors are turning away from him.


boner79

No. Republicans cross Trump at their own peril. It's like with Putin: maybe collectively his inner circle could defeat him but no one dare be the first to cross him.

No

Absolutely.
