    He’s got literally nothing else to motivate voters…

    I’m relatively confident he can pull off a narrow win against trump. But if trumps off the ballots, and it’s a “normal” Republican or even desantis, we might be fucked.

    Biden wants trump to run for the same reason Hillary did, I just hope he’s not dumb enough to actually help trump make it to the general like Hillary did

      This isn’t true anymore, though it was over the summer. DeSantis is polling neck-in-neck with Nikki Haley, down in the 15-16% range. That gets even smaller outside the GOP.

            If I go to the bar at 11 PM and ask who wants another beer I can’t then go on to say 70% of the population at all times wants another beer.

            Think about who answers polls?

            Have you ever answered a poll? Ever been asked? I didn’t think so.

              Thanks for the basic lesson on sample bias. You do know that good polls address bias, right? Also, sample sizes can be quite small and still represent populations, so not having been polled doesn’t mean anything.

      Even Republicans don’t like DeSantis. The more campaigning he has done nationally, the lower his numbers have gotten. He would get absolutely whooped. Trump is far more dangerous.
