What were the odds that Trump would win the Presidency in 2015? And right prior to your poll cutoff, they had Jeb Bush ahead. As I said, lets have some debates, lets let some time pass and we'll get a clearer picture. Its too early to say someone has no chance or is going down.
Trump launched his campaign June 16th 2015,in the beginning of July 2015 he was in the lead.Bush was ahead before Trump because he started his campaign before Trump,Dec 16th 2014.
So Trump began his campaign before DeSantis did this time around. Using this logic it would suggest it is possible for DeSantis to overtake Trump soon. Again, I'm not saying anything other than its anyone's guess at this point.
Both of these RINOs have no chance. Just as RINOs McCain and Romney before them. No way would I ever vote for a RINO or even a Democrat today. The last Democrat of substance for me was John F. Kennedy but, you saw what they did to the guys who do the right things. President Donald Trump, you see the enormous government resources they are using to try and disqualify him from running as President of the United States. All on bogus charges. I hope they elevate this indictment on the classified documents to the US Supreme Court the soonest. It is criminal that Joe Biden was allowed to handle classified information when he is only a Vice President then? Joe Biden should have been charged a long time ago, and more than the 37 charges they levied on President Donald Trump. Atleast, President Donald Trump was President at the time.
Not the same as people didn't know, expect ,or take Trump seriously about running for president last time and trump wasn't included in most polls until he announced.It was already widely expected that Desantis would run so people have already thought about him running and he has been included in all major polls long before he announced.
You realize you're spinning the variables in a way that conveniently confirms your desired outcome, right? Look, Tony. You could be 100% accurate and DeSantis has no chance. You could also be dead wrong. Lets see how it plays out. Age has taught me that life throws curve balls - no one would have had many of the events of the last three years on their bingo card back in 2019.
Im countering your argument that polls at this time are worthless because Jeb was once ahead in the polls.That would be a great point if Trump and Jeb were both included in the polls and Jeb was ahead but Trump was not included in the polls when Jeb was in the lead,he hadn't even announced.Once Trump announced and was included in the polls he shot to # 1 and never looked back. Trump and Desantis has been head to head in 2024 polls since they started,and Trump has always been ahead. As I previously stated I agree with you about a possible curve ball this year due to Trumps legal troubles.That Desantis only chance though imo.
Question to you: do you believe DeSantis is the best conservatives in the US have to offer the country? Not just among current candidates but more generally. If not, why is it that the best don't float to the top? The answer to this imo is everything that is wrong with America at the moment. A turning away from a meritocracy, toward favoritism, nepotism, corruption, and addiction to power. I dare ask anyone to guess Gen McArthur's political leaning without reading deep into his bio. Can the same be said about Pompeo or any other top public servants currently or the recent past?
