DeSantis stealing Trump votes requires him to run as an independent. If he loses the primary and doesn’t go independent, all those votes just go back to Trump. I haven’t heard anything about an independent run from him, but I might have just missed something.
I don’t know if DeSantis would run as an independent, but I do know that my parents would vote for him if he did, especially since they live in CA where they’re convinced their views in presidential elections don’t make a bit of difference. I absolutely guarantee that Trump would run as an independent if he doesn’t get the nomination, since admitting defeat gracefully is not something he is able to do.
Plus, we just need more people thinking DeSantis has a chance before the primaries and the situation for the RNC gets even more muddled
Edit: plus, Republicans getting upset or ambivalent about the nominee is a sure way to depress voter turnout, so the more infighting, the better for Democrats, even if DeSantis doesn’t run as an independent
Definitely. I was hoping that DeSantis would just barely sneak by Trump in the primaries so Trump would have to run independent, and spoil the vote. It was extreme wishful thinking, but we all gotta dream, right?
