I found Trumpism hilarious if it would not be so dangerous...1. This has to be the stupidest time ever to be alive.
2. Trump is legit funny.

Billion dollar project. I posted a thread somewhere in here that showed how many were going to get screwed by it. I'll try to find it & repost.Heard Disney declined a project that would have added about 2k jobs in the state of Florida.
I guess winning culture wars is more important than having jobs now.

In the perennial game of searching for and disclosing dirty laundry for political gains, I just cannot wait to see what anti-DeSantis and anti-Elon factions will find on those assclowns.Tweet

And those were high-paying jobs as well. The average wages for those jobs that are no more were around $120,000.Heard Disney declined a project that would have added about 2k jobs in the state of Florida.

Did he have on his heels?
He undoubtedly rolls with a coterie of ‘yes’ people who play into his unabashed narcissism & hubris. He thinks he can win, no doubt.Is there a gameplan here where DeSantis running and losing is good for him, or is he of the opinion he might win?
He probably thinks he can win if Trump gets indicted, so he will more than likely be nice to him with the expectation that the law will catch up to Trump before next spring. Trump, on the other hand, views DeSantis as a threat and is already attacking him mercilessly. Should be a fun next 9 monthsIs there a gameplan here where DeSantis running and losing is good for him, or is he of the opinion he might win?
This would be disappointing. I don't have fantasies of him leaving Trump nursing injuries in the final but I feel a decent portion of the potential for comedy rests upon him giving it a go.He probably thinks he can win if Trump gets indicted, so he will more than likely be nice to him with the expectation that the law will catch up to Trump before next spring.

Russian Ron.
Very good analogy.Imagine United and Chelsea watching Wreck-It and Fat Frank respectively, two of the worst managers in their recent histories watching them almost burn their clubs to the ground...then locking them in to a 4 year deal as permanent manager. Doesn't make any sense?
Hillary and Chelsea were getting crushed by conservatives and GOP members in the 90s and well beyond Bill's tenure.Did he have on his heels?
And conservatives are all in a tizzy due to attacks on Casey, saying that family is untouchable & Repubs never do such to Dems.
This twat is sending out her husband’s political shit on her personal Twitter, that makes her fair game.
And I guess Repubs conveniently forgot about Michelle Obama.
I bet his wife is 50% responsible, she probably speaks him up daily ala Ben Affleck in Boiler Room. She probably craves FLOTUS as much as Lil'Ron craves POTUS.He undoubtedly rolls with a coterie of ‘yes’ people who play into his unabashed narcissism & hubris. He thinks he can win, no doubt.
Pretty sure DeSantis is banking on Trump getting taken out by an indictment and possible arrest at some point, at which point the #2 guy will become the nominee. No one else is close to either of these two so in such a scenario, DeSantis would face Biden and given their age disparity, have a pretty good shot at winning.I'm a little but surprised DeSantis actually decided to run. I know he was anointed the saviour of the GOP a while back, but Trump has turned out to be effectively unkillable as far as GOP politics goes, and has been making a fool out of him for months now.
I can definitely see DeSantis winning the primary, but I'm not sure I see Trump or the true Trumpists ever conceding or supporting him in any way. I guess we were all surprised at how easily Jeb Bush-voters or Ted Cruz-voters jumped ship, but those guys aren't Trump. It's going to be brutal. Hopefully.
Am I crazy for thinking this could legitimately ruin his (national) political career for good?
That doesn't matter, nothing prevents you from running for office in a jail cell, and i'd still hold Trump as clear favorite even if that happens.Pretty sure DeSantis is banking on Trump getting taken out by an indictment and possible arrest at some point, at which point the #2 guy will become the nominee.

Not a chance he would be a meaningful threat to DeSantis from jail. He wouldn't be able to be on social media and his base would look for alternatives.That doesn't matter, nothing prevents you from running for office in a jail cell, and i'd still hold Trump as clear favorite even if that happens.
Of course he would be, at this point its already too late, and he isn't even in jail yet.Not a chance he would be a meaningful threat to DeSantis from jail. He wouldn't be able to be on social media and his base would look for alternatives.
The base actually divested from Trump a bit in the months following the election, which is what allowed DeSantis to pick up momentum for about a year until just a few months ago. Many MAGA types ditched Trump because they viewed him as an unelectable loser with too much baggage. That sentiment is still partially around, so if Trump is viewed as a lame duck, they are going to go for the next best thing. As for DeSantis, he will gradually get battered by Trump to where it will damage him among the GOP base, potentially so much that if he ended up being the nominee, he may not have enough to to rehabilitate himself to a national audience.Of course he would be, at this point its already too late, and he isn't even in jail yet.
The base absolutely loves Trump, its his base, and nobody else's.
Besides, recent poll showed they don't care about electability anyway, they just want to make libs mad, thats literally what the poll showed.
Sometimes there is just no making sense of certain things, they are what they are, it is what it is.

But this doesn't support the argument that DeSantis can take him on, quite the opposite.The base actually divested from Trump a bit in the months following the election, which is what allowed DeSantis to pick up momentum for about a year until just a few months ago.

I don't think the mid terms were a referendum on either. DeSantis simply gained gradual ground on Trump after the 2020 defeat and insurrection. It wasn't until DeSantis started tangling with Disney and going overboard on his own wokeness agenda that he started stalling, which Trump capitalized on.But this doesn't support the argument that DeSantis can take him on, quite the opposite.
Trump was the big loser during the midterms, DeSantis the big winner, and look, a couple of months later, the base forgot all about it and went back to Trump.
So yes, i personally believe even if Trump went to prison,he would be the favorite, clear one at that.
We will probably never find out though, the law works slowly, but it would be fun to find out, i guess.
