DeSantis trails Trump in hypothetical GOP matchup

I would be happy if all of the media outlets would STOP promoting DeSantis' possible run in 2024--They're doing the campaign work for DeSatan, and he's not lifting a finger! WTF?

[shinykazzadragon]

That's like people fighting over whether horse poop is better than pig poop.

[WilliamPriceKing]

The only difference between Trump and DeSantis is Trump has a bigger mouth.

[stevemlejnek]

Seriously, who in their right mind would vote for Trump back in office? Insanity.

[rcreative]

Donnie has a personality. Ronnie does not. Both have stupid ideas that will ensure a Biden victory, so either one is fine with me.

[johnlinks]

Be hilarious when both candidates ruin each other

[delmonicofarquhar]

This just shows why sensible people should never feel they have to make excuses for avoiding the Republican Party FOREVER.

[DrNancyLivingCoCreatively]

Really??! SMH. They are both dictators.

How is it possible for an insurrectionist to run for President???? Don't you have laws in the U.S that prevents this from happening?

[sunsetpalms]

I am really enjoying the Morning Mika Show!

[DRKrust]

Well, Trump would lose in 2024 as the GOP nominee. So, good for the Dems, bad for the Reps.

DeSantis is under recent scrutiny for his JAG appointment to Guantanamo in 2006. ( witnessing the administering of torture to inmates.) Difficult case, as the government was complicit in the CIA Torture Program.

Trump will be nominee, possible Desantis VP

[carlbeaver]

DuhSantis and Trump - the battle for the bottom of the barrel. Exactly where both should be.

Elise is spot on regarding DeSantis. Brilliant young woman.

[Brad_Jenkins]

I will vote for anyone else but these two

[gloriawilson]

Trump will CRUSH Ron D. Advantage Democrats..🤗🤗🤗

[ianreed]

Trump will be on the Big Lie Tour playing his greatest hits-"The Election Was Rigged", "Mexico Will Pay For The Wall", "It Is What It Is", "This Virus Will Magically Disappear", "I Can't Release My Taxes Because I'm Being Audited" and many more.😂

[johnbiela]

Desantis needs another devastating hurricane. That'll get his numbers back up. Otherwise, we get to see him as he really is. Not a pretty sight.

[MuhizmadTheDarwish]

Is it possible this poll reflects the favt that desantis has not yet declared himself as running?
