    So this is really “silly season” when it comes to news and that apploes to political news like this.

    The primary season hasnt even started and they’re already saying trump has won. It’s nonsense. People can build and lose momentum over the course of the race. All that’s happened so far is the obvious challenger DeSantis has imploded. But it’s a big race and anyone could gain attention and votes in the primarys.

    Wenl just need to look back to previous races to see the bookies favourites not winning. Trump himself was an outside chance. Bill Clinton came back to win the nomination. The idea anyone has a clue what is going to happen in this race is nonsense.

      The question to be asked though is is there anything Trump can realistically do to make him lose support among Republicans? Because it doesn’t seem to be happening.

        An the others in the field arent going to win anything at under 10%. Desantis is closes at 14% vs Trumps 50% so yah unless the devil shows up and runs, it aint happening…

        Choking to death on a hamberder might do it.

        Maybe.
