Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is fast emerging as a top 2024 presidential contender capable of beating both Donald Trump and President Joe Biden, an early election poll suggested on Tuesday.
The new USA Today/Suffolk University survey shows that a majority of GOP voters want Trump to pass the torch to the 44-year-old Republican governor - despite having declared his own third White House campaign last month.
And while the ex-president trails Biden in a theoretical head-to-head rematch, DeSantis holds a narrow lead over the Democrat of about four points.

Phase one of the Dem/RINO plan is shaping up nicely: drive Trump's re-election chances into the mud by propping up potential opponents and giving DT no air. Once that is done to their satisfaction, all guns will turn on DeSantis

Two leftist hack "news" organs (Daily Mail, USA Today) are both running the same story. That raises suspicions right there.
That being said, I don't think Trump would win the general in '24. I truly believe there is so much Trump hatred that people would vote for his socialist opponent just to keep him out of the WH, even if they know deep down that having the socialists in charge is not a good idea.
Trump did a great job and he should still be in office, but there were enough Trump haters in the pubbie party that they did not want to seriously investigate the numerous allegations of fraud in 2020. They won't change their ways in '24 either.

Nobody asked me. I've had enough of the phony Trump/DeSantis "quarrel" in the past few months. Trump is still my guy.

President Trump was able to run the country without beholden to anyone. Governor DeSantis is running a state with the backing of the unit party. BIG DIFFERENCE….GEEZE!

This only shows that all the people that want to get Trump, still do. There has not been any change in the support for Trump. People are taking their year end vacations and getting ready for the holidays. It is not all politics every minute for some of us.

At my age my main goad is to make it to 2024. If I do I will vote for who ever (or is it whom ever) is the nominee of the GOP. Am ambivalent about the choice between President Trump and Ron DeSantis. PT is easily the best president of my lifetime. But he is no spring chicken. And I saw some of the lines of voters in 2020 and some of them hate PT as much as I love him. The main goal is to win. Not to make a valiant effort like Barry Goldwater. I just don't know.

Sorry guys (I'll start this by saying I was/am a broken glass crawling Trump guy) but, Trump has made a lot of unforced errors.
DeSantis has just announced that he's trying to get a grand jury to investigate the pharmaceutical companies and their Covid concoctions. He's made REAL changes in FL. NOT just talked about it.
If Trump would show just a modicum of contrition ie. staffing choices/Fauci/not understanding the new ground game, to name a few. It would go a LONG way in reassuring people that he learned from last time.
Plus he's old. I constantly lambast all politicians that have to be dragged out feet first. Feel free to enjoy the last years of your life. Look back fondly on your sizable accomplishments. Let the next generation have it's turn.

Ron DeSantis is by far the better candidate than DJT. He much more articulate and he knows how to select the right people to serve with him. Trump rambles on and is unable to make concise and compelling arguments to support his positions. He also brought in many people who ended up sabotaging him from within because they did not agree with his policies. If only he had learned the lesson of the story of the woman and the spider.

There is so much animus against Trump... the best president ever! But maybe DeSantis is more of a winner. It's a shame but so be it.

Maybe desantis has a magic wand to defeat the swamp. Or maybe Trump has exposed them such that they will be defeated. I hope desantis is as good as his sound bites. I like him but need to see a lot more, especially when the full force of the US government coordinating with the media turns the guns on him. I hope backing desantis doesn’t turn out to be quitting drilling before hitting target depth.
Desantis 2028.

Daily Mail - Always has the best interests of the United States at heart - NOT
Does this newspaper ever criticize its mother country, Britain?
Do the editors of The Daily Mail believe that "There Will Always Be An England"?

Unfortunately, and unless these Twitter files, and the subsequent House investigations regarding Russia, Russia, Russia and the two impeachment shams, clearly show President Trump had no involvement, he is now branded by the Democrats in a very negative light.
Trump knows all about branding too.
He should be okay with simply getting his name cleared and be happy with what Rush used to say, "See, I told you so" outcome. Stay behind the scene and be a power broker, but not the headliner any longer.
I told my wife when he came down that escalator and declared his candidacy, that he was going to be challenged in every way because he actually wanted to fix things, not just talk about the problems like so many politicians and bureaucrats want to do.
You simply can't challenge the system like that, as it has major push-back, until you have BIG majorities.
Heck, just read how Obama passed a law to allow the government to propagandize in a lawful way. I did not recall that happening.
You want to use the "power of the purse", then you'll need to get off of the 15 years of CR's and Omnibus budgets, and return to General Order, but no one seems to have a desire for that anymore.

I see attacks on the Daily Mail, attacks on the OP, attacks on DeSantis, attacks on anyone who dares say a negative word about Trump...but nothing refuting the argument that Trump's fading and cannot win in 2024.

The Daily Mail, USA Today, CNN and MSNBC constitue the propaganda wing of the democrats. As soon as they can eliminate Trump, they will give full attention to DeSantis or whoever the R candidate is and proceed to slander, libel, and otherwise destroy the new R candidate. In 2028 we will be able to read about how DeSantis has been colluding with the Russians, about how polarizing he is, and how tactless he is. Anyone want to bet against me?

I remember thinking - before 2016 - that what we need is someone who can't be bought, and that's who we got in Trump, and others find that really hard to understand.

The plan to divide the Republican Party is working. If DeSantis were for a united party, he would put his ego aside and go full in for Trump. If there were no Trump, it would be back to the old "Pay to Play" game that has been in vogue for more years than I care to remember, and that's a lot of years! As for me, I'm staying the course with The Donald.

Nothing like fixing a hurricane smashed bridge in a week when everyone said it would take a year to improve your standing in the polls. I was facing a year of taking a ferry or boat to my house for a year. DeSantis and Honch construction are my heroes.

I can't help but think that a lot of the animus directed at Trump was precisely due to him not being owned. That said, he's been begging for cash, everyday, multiple times a day from supporters. It got so bad that I had to uunsubsidized. He raised 10's or hundreds of millions and didn't use it to help his own candidates in the mid-terms.
I expect that DeSantis poll numbers are rising. He's been an excellent governor. And he doesn't make stupid statements. Like suspend the constitution. He doesn't do dinner with nei-nazis, and he can tear down the press without resorting to childish name calling. Frankly, Trumps biggest problem is himself.

My only real issue with Trump at this point is his age. If only he were 20 years younger. He would do better to sit back and be a strong influence, like an anti-Soros.

Trump is a pretty smart man. He should be able to read the hand writing on the wall
Americans want a strong leader, but one who can get along with his party and bring together a party that is split. Trump was a great President IMO, but his time has passed him by. He could be a great help to another candidate.

Then, you’re not looking or listening, #24. Plenty of posters have told you many times why they think Trump is not “fading,” including the fact that they intend to vote for him. But, you don’t want to hear that. And, for your information, Fred, disagreeing with your position is not an attack. Your starting to sound like a cry-baby leftist.

Troll article about a troll poll from [don't want to violate L policies].
Every single election they feed us bs polls to create the same narrative and try to push out the more conservative candidates they don't like.
More garbage.
I'm really tired of seeing RINOs posting how Trump is fading or Trump is controversial or whatever they're told to believe that week by the leftist. If you want a mushy nobody who will help guide America through a smooth decline then vote Jeb! again. There are plenty like him or McCain or Romney or murkowsky or Chris from New Jersey or Cheney or omg the list of America haters is so long.

They're waiting until he has cleared the field and there is no turning back before unleashing the tons and tons of data showing him to be a RINO who has cozied up to not only other RINOs but the dems and their puppetmasters.
Please do your own research before you fall in love with the Big D.
