Gov. Ron DeSantis’s (R-FL) initial presidential campaign tour through the states hosting the first two 2024 GOP contests drew tons of media and lots of voter gazing but did not provide the pop he hoped for.

Two new polls out this week show that former President Donald Trump continues to dominate the race despite the attention on DeSantis and the criminal indictment of the 45th president by his successor’s Justice Department.

The surprising results have buoyed Trump and depressed supporters of DeSantis who had hoped he would revive the lead he once held in those two states several months ago.

The New Hampshire Journal-Coefficient poll, taken after Trump’s indictment, gave the former president a commanding 49%-23% lead over DeSantis in a head-to-head contest.

In a more inclusive survey of the top seven Republican candidates, Trump’s lead grew to 47%-13%, showing that his hold is firm. No other GOP challenger is out of single digits.

DeSantis isn't going to give people a circus carnival show. If that's what the GOP wants, they're not going to like the results.

What the hell do you call the last 7 years of Trump?

I don't have a whole lot of hope in the GOP., nor do they represent me.  I'm not so sure I will even bother registering as a Republican again.

Even if somebody besides Donald Trump starts gaining traction in the primaries, you can bet the left on mobilize to make sure they getting a vote support Trump over the top so he can go on to lose the general election.

And why wouldn’t they, It’s worked for them before



I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

Understood. Well I'm not lazy at proofreading, I'm just not very good at writing period...

Unfortunately true -- someone hopefully can beat them at their own game. Doubtful.
