United States Trump v Biden 2, electric boogaloo

With an actual track record Biden is going to perform even more horribly. All the trans shit happening out there is hurting the Dems as well.

If they cheat enough votes in to 'win,' it's going to be even more obvious, and I think that'll be the national breaking point.

Stix continues to be an idiot who placed more emphasis on form over function and so shits on DeSantis because he's an only Trumper.

Seriously, I don't get why you all give him the time of day, the dude is literally an ex-satanist now paganist who believes in things like the Burning Times of Europe and the Pan-European Witch Cult "hypothesis". While he's made some interesting commentary in the past, the simple fact he even gives those ideas the time of day shows that he cannot be intellectually trusted because he inherently gives into delusional levels of confirmation bias.
Yeah, his downright insane religious views are what ultimately turned me away from him as well.

If Trump ends up pulling a Grover then I want him to identify as a female lesbian Indian so he can also claim to be the first lesbian female minority president. The shit show that'd cause would be glorious.

Be fun watching Leftists and their corporate-media allies twist themselves into pretzels to smear Orange Man sorry, Orange Woman for transitioning. ;)

See... if that were true he wouldn't run and instead he'd sit out of it and keep his mouth shut. All Pence does is split up the anti-Trump vote preventing a single strong counter-Trump candidate from emerging.

No, what's he's actually doing is HELPING Trump win the primary in the expectation that Trump would lose to Biden in a rematch, and preventing deSantis from building up a strong coalition to be able to challenge Trump.

the effect he has and what he believes he can do are 2 different things. I do agree that the more people who run the more the anybody but trump vote splits is pretty consistent in the polls.

And you have what proof of this? Or is this just some more "DeSantis is secretly a RINO" nonsense.
That's just a fairly common political tactic. Happens all the time.

Look at the dem one from 2020. Like three or four of them got positions. Harris is the vp.

Pretty standard for people that don't really have a real chance.

And I very much doubt that a establishment guy like Pence would throw his support to Trump after all the backstabbing.

So just speculation. And while we both know that Pence doesn't have a chance in hell, Pence may be stupid enough to believe otherwise.

And keep in mind a lot of the establishment isn't any more fond of DeSantis than they are of Trump, plenty of them have been whining about how DeSantis needs to stop going after Disney and other leftist corporations.

Sure, some of the establishment prefer DeSantis to Trump, but some other ones also prefer Trump to DeSantis. The establishment is not a monolith despite what some may believe.

He will of course leave the primaries and throw whatever support he has behind DeSantis in exchange for a position somewhere.
No.

He exists in the race to hinder deSantis and empower Trump.

You need to understand the globalist establishment is terrified of deSantis, moreso than they are of Trump, for a few reasons. The first is that deSantis has a proven record as governor and has shown time and again he's willing to go against the establishment sacred cows, like Disney, and has also shown he can win. Further, he's surrounded himself with competent people which will enable him to build a cabinet that actually reflects and enforces his policies if he became President. Further they're not sure they can beat deSantis in the general election. He doesn't have the negatives that Trump did (and for those saying, "just let the mainstream media have at him and he will, you need to go look at the negatives for other recent Republican presidents whom the media gave the same treatment to. Also consider Hillary Clinton who had equal if not greater negatives than Trump DESPITE a fawning media. Candidate personality and history matters A LOT, the media can only do so much.) and they will have a much more difficult time rallying the people needed to fortify an election against deSantis.

Meanwhile Trump, they're sure they can beat him in the general. He still has those negatives and they can rally the same people and "threat to Democracy" narrative against him to enable election fortification in a way they can't against deSantis.

Basically, the globalist establishment, if they cannot have one of their own as the Republican candidate (which at this point they cannot, Republican primary voters have gotten too canny and too burned by the past) would rather have Trump because they believe he cannot beat Biden and even if he did have a chance, they believe they can fortify things to counter him because there's enough of a panic and emotional response against him to motivate people.

Now, they may be wrong. After all, that was similar to their logic in 2016 and why they enabled Trump over other Republicans and we saw how that turned out. But that's the actual gamble going on by the Globalists.
