- Trump will have a primary with fewer competitors than 2016 (not hard). DeSantis is the clear runner up.
- The liberal media and fox news will swoon over DeSantis. Everything Trump says will be rejectedout of hand by the media but DeSantis could say and mean the exact same thing Trump says and will be praised. Because only the character of Trump is what they reject, not his politics. Therefore, through DeSantis, Trump’s politics will become normalized.
- Trump still beats DeSantis and the media will try to denormalized Trump’s politics again as though nothing happened.
My gut tells me Warren is too progressive to be allowed to engage. Basically, she might over promise and have to deliver something like lowering the age of social security or universal pre K or some other bare minimum initiative.
:pete: <— might be allowed to pretend he had no choice but to primary Brandon for the good of the country, then get elected and effectively deliver less.
I disagree, the response of the media and the establishment in 2020 clearly showed that they know she will try to vaguely signal at being a progressive. But she is not seen as a threat to the establishment like Bernie. She was just uncharismatic and unpopular. Especially since everyone that took her progressivism seriously therefore saw her as Bernie-Lite ™
Trump beats Hillary again in 2024
every time they beg her to run she says she’s not gonna run. i think she likes attention so she keeps doin interviews giving advice to the dems, but losing in 2016 crushed her spiritually and delusional as she is she doesn’t think she could do it again.
Don’t need a lathe for this, polling indicates that this is the likely outcome. Trump has such a fervent backing from his base that it’s going to be incredibly hard for anyone else to primary him, despite the fact that mainline conservative media will try to elevate Desantis.
