DeSantis still has not announced his candidacy. Right now he's busy promoting his new book, The Courage To Be Free: Florida’s Blueprint For America’s Revival.

Trump, DeSantis get ready for battle in the looming primary contest
Yahoo News, Mar 16 2023 2:00 AM

Former President Donald Trump and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, the two frontrunners for the 2024 Republican nomination, are looking to define themselves and each other as next year's primary battle takes shape. Despite his status as a former President and the GOP’s most powerful figure, Trump has cast himself as a populist outsider and avatar of the party’s angry grassroots. DeSantis, meanwhile, wants Republican voters to see him as a mix of what they like about Trump, without Trump’s baggage: a younger, fresher rabble-rouser who can champion causes that the right cares about without alienating the rest of the country.

Trump continues to insist he won the 2020 Presidential election but it was "rigged" – and his blindly loyal supporters continue to believe it, along with all his many other lies.

Many more voters have an unfavorable opinion of Trump than they do of DeSantis. It amazes me that anybody can still have a favorable opinion of Trump!

The pro-DeSantis super-PAC is called Never Back Down. Trump has been relentlessly criticizing DeSantis and his attacks will be much nastier once DeSantis announces his candidacy. If he hopes to become the Retrumplican nominee, DeSantis will need to heed that advice: "Never back down."

Faced with the choice of voting for a candidate who lies, cheats, abuses women, attempted to overturn an election, incited a deadly riot, was impeached twice and has been indicted on 34 criminal charges or a candidate who has not lied, cheated, abused women, attempted to overturn an election or incited a deadly riot and who has not been impeached or indicted, Retrumplicans prefer the candidate who lies, cheats, abuses women, attempted to overturn an election, incited a deadly riot, was impeached twice and has been indicted on 34 criminal charges. I wish I could say this is an April Fools joke – but, sadly, it is true.

Hutchinson, 72, served as Governor of Arkansas from 2015 to 2023. He calls himself a moderate. Gee, I didn't think there were any moderates in the Retrumplican party, not since it became the Cult of Donald Trump.

Kennedy, the son of Senator Robert F. Kennedy and nephew of President John F. Kennedy, is the fourth member of his family to run for President. He is anti-vaccine and has spread several conspiracy theories, including a bizarre claim that George W. Bush stole the 2004 election.

On this Easter Sunday, Donald Trump is once again ranting and raving about "massive major fraud" and "radical left Democrats, socialists, Marxists and Communists killing our nation" – and Ron DeSantis is waking up to some good news.

Polls are not necessarily an indicator of how a Presidential election will turn out. We learned that in 2016. But it is likely that Donald Trump will win the 2024 Republican nomination and lose (again) to Joe Biden – who still has not officially announced his candidacy.

Public Opinion Strategies is a polling and market research company founded in 1991 by Glen Bolger, Neil Newhouse and Bill McInturff in Alexandria, Virginia. Each of the three is a Republican – but deranged, demented, delusional Doanld doesn't like the results of their latest poll so of course he says the poll is "fake."
