DeSantis hanging tough despite the mainstream media giving Trump endless coverage, and turning him into a sympathetic figure to GOP voters.

Among those likely caucusgoers, 42% say they plan to support Trump — a lead of 23 percentage points over DeSantis, who is at 19%. U.S. Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina follows in third place with 9%.

What a colossal failure his campaign turned out to be. Whodathunk massive state overreach to quell dissent wouldn't be popular in a party that is foremost for limited government?

The campaign has barely started.

Actually state overreach is quite popular in Republican circles. As long as its overreaching in the correct ways... forcing 10 year old girls to give birth to babies of the men who sexually assaulted them, jailing black people who think "maybe there might be a problem with cops shooting black people more than white".

I think the problem is that 1) meatball ron does not have ANY charisma on which to build a cult, and 2) he doesn't have any policies to appeal to people beyond a limited base. (At least Trump could fool people when he first ran to make him think "maybe he won't be so bad towards gay people", etc. With Govenor puddingfingers, we knew right from the start "this guy is a problem")

(Poll showing Meatball Ron now at 3rd place, behind Ramaswamy who was second)
And now Governor Pudding fingers is tied with Nikki Haley for second place.

See: https://www.politico.com/news/2023/10/30/trump-iowa-poll-haley-00124197

This reminds me of the 2016 republican primaries, where various candidates would rise in popularity for a short period before dropping down in the polls. (I think even Carson was leading in the polls for a while...)

Well, you are of course assuming that Trump is rich. We haven't really seen proof either way whether Trump is a millionaire, or just pretends he is one.

Ron denies wearing high-heel boots. I thought only drag queens wore those.

Funny but they just look like regular cowboy boots to me and we all know they are wannabe drag queens.

I think Nikki's incessant pleas to kill more Palestinians is really resonating with the base.

When has she done that?

Quote
"We should care about the Palestinian citizens, especially the innocent ones, because they didn't ask for this," Haley said during her response. "But where are the Arab countries? Where are they? Where is Qatar? Where is Lebanon? Where is Jordan? Where is Egypt? Do you know we give Egypt over a billion dollars a year? Why aren't they opening the gates? Why aren't they taking the Palestinians?

"You know why? Because they know they can't vet them, and they don't want Hamas in their neighborhood. So, why would Israel want them in their neighborhood? So, let's be honest with what's going on. The Arab countries aren't doing anything to help the Palestinians because they don't trust who is right, who is good, who is evil, and they don't want it in their country."

In what would seem like a no-brainer, the Supreme Court ruled Ron's anti-drag law as unconstitutional under the 1st amendment. Of course, Thomas voted in favour of it because...freedom.

The ruling deals with the lower court injunction, not the law itself.  The supreme court didn't see the need to overrule the temporary pause issued by the lower court.  Details matter Bubber.

Cope.
 
Pretty sad that they couldn't even get this court of right wing activists disguised as justices to go their way. Ron has no juice.
Thank you for making my point.  The ruling was about the temporary injunction.  Cope and seethe.
