there’s a lot of time left and I’m sure they’re waiting to see how the open civil war in the gop pans out. Idk how they’ll try to define desantis but I hope they take their time to test what sticks

I think this is honestly wishful thinking. There is not a group of people more homogeneous than Republicans. Almost exclusively white, and the majority are men. These people will just fall in line with whoever wins. In the last few decades the GOP has had “civil wars”, but they have not affected Republican voters supporting the party in the general. We might have hope if Trump decides to run third party, but if that is even a possibility Ron D will dropout or not run at all.

Ready to force a contentious primary / threaten to vote third party if Dems don't run on Medicare For All 

I can't see there being a Democratic Primary at all. Everyone's going to be rallying around Biden after these midterms just gave him the most favorable results for an incumbent since the rally-around-the-flag effect gave Bush a massive mandate and led to anyone campaigning against his party being branded as literal traitors to the country. Anyone to the left of Biden that even dares would be run out of the party for "trying to help Trump win" at this point.

The fact that these two things are actually good. Is he trying to appeal to centrists/independents already? 

[Mike91]

As someone who thinks DeSantis is probably the best the GOP has to offer right now (which isn't saying much), people are overrating DeSantis' chances tbh. He might get the nomination, but if you've ever watched him, he's overly rehearsed and has a very manufactured image. Most Americans see right through that kind of thing. It won't take much for Trump to expose DeSantis as a phony. Not to mention, he's as extreme on social issues as Trump is (even more in most cases). His record in FL plays well there but it's probably not going to play well in states like MI, PA, and WI. People need to let go of 2016 and act like every election moving forward will be a repeat of that. Literally since 2016, democrats have held the blue wall together, even when they shouldn't have. Trump had an appeal in those states that most republican presidential candidates do not.  

 

Only way the GOP stands a chance is if the economy is in complete shambles. As long as the Supreme Court is being run by the Catholic Church, the GOP is going to struggle to convince swing voters and independents to vote for them. One of the downsides to their obsession with the culture wars is that most Americans don't agree with the GOP and it was always going to come back to bite them when the GOP started getting their way. 

 

Don't bring this comment up in 2024 if... you know...

so the superintendent of Broward County Schools (second largest in Florida) was fired by a vote of 5-4 over the investigation of the Parkland shooting

 

what's weird about this is

 

the lady wasn't here when the shooting happened and was replacing the superintendent who was

recently DeSantis removed  five board members (all democrats, all elected by the people) over this investigation

 

he put the 5 people who voted to fire the superintendent after the board told her she had 90 days to make amends and improve her status

 

also note that 4 of those seats were won by Democrats last week and won't take office for another month

 

i wonder what DeSantis is planning by this

Nobody gave a sh*t about the announcement of that narcissistic psycho!

unless something physically happens to Biden.  It's still 2 years away and he's 78.  A lot can happen.  If it does, then what?  Rally around Kamala?

I’m all here for term limits. Politics should not be a full time job.  It’s a duty, not a career.

Oh my. I wonder what protectionist Bernie thinks (since he’d be a key vote in a 50/50 Senate). The last time Democrats tried immigration was Pelosi’s bill to streamline the process and he was so against that. Going as far as siding with current insurrectionist Chuck Grassley.
