Latest poll shows DeSantis with ... 5 PERCENT of the Republican New Hampshire Primary vote.

Five percent?

I know he hasn't run a good campaign, but really ... I'm starting to feel sorry for the guy.

How could it have gone this wrong? I mean, objectively he should be a strong candidate in today's Republican Party. Is it really just a Cult of Trump after all?

DeSantis supporters, please chime in!

When you have a personality that falls short of Al Gore's - it happens.

Because they see fake polls like this and think Trump is really going to win this time

They’re convinced of this - they’ve been seeing these polls since last year’s indictments/Democrat election interference to make Trump a martyr.  
 

It has absolutely nothing to do with DeSantis - who by the way showed well above the fake Iowa polls.  
 

It will be the same in NH.

Thanks for the response. We shall see. 

But his roughly 20% in the real (not poll) Iowa caucuses is pretty damn poor - looking at the average of the most recent Iowa polls, he was at 15.8%. So maybe he outperformed that by about 5 percentage points.

I don't like it because I'm an Anyone But Trump guy now, but it just looks like Trump is putting it away early ....

 

EDIT: I'm kind of amazed when polls these days turn out to be generally accurate. I mean, who answers a call from a pollster? But here, the polls had Trump at 52.4% in Iowa. Pretty damn close ...

Bumping this one.

For obvious reasons.

I'm no Ron fan. But even I'm a little confused (dare I say disturbed?) by how he got zero traction. Why?

Well, because he has been an effective governor of a big state. I don't agree with a lot (most) of his policy agenda. But he's pushed it through, and he's been generally a forceful and accomplished practitioner of the modern post-Trump agenda. Scott Walker was pretty similar in 2015: he reoriented Wisconsin politics in a more pre-Trump Republican direction, despite having a fairly slim margin in the state house and in the voters as a whole.

 

So here's what I glean from that: at least in the (post-modern/post-Trump) Republican Party, accomplishment in government really counts for nothing. Zero. No one cares. No one wants to hear about your record. It is irrelevant. It may even be worse than irrelevant - that is, an actual negative - because it shows that you've been a part of the government before. We dismiss you, Scott, Ron, probably Nikki starting next week. All that "Governor is the best experience for a Presidential candidate" stuff we heard since Reagan, through Bush 43? Over.

 

Eff your resume.

 

We like the septuagenarian insult comic.

This why Vivek beat Nikki and Ron in Iowa?

 

 

Don't overthink this.  
 

Team Communist making Trump a martyr for the last 10 months to advance him in the primary worked. 
 

It’s that simple.  
 

I’m going to enjoy the ***t out of Trump Twitter in November 2024.  


By Trump Twitter I’m talking about the grifters terrified to lose influence and clicks in the event they turn on Trump.

Vivek got the usual Ron Paul crackpot vote. It is amazing that someone who says that many stupid and childish things even gets 5%. After all that storm and fury, he is once again irrelevant.

Always a conspiracy. Yeah, various prosecutors brought tons of charges because they wanted Trump to get a publicity boost and win the nomination.

Don't overthink this. The "It's a Cult" posters have a far simpler explanation. Because ... It's a Cult.

This.  All the machinations by the Dems backfired.  So while some may choose to laugh at Ron (and then Nikki), they won't be laughing so hard when Trump becomes 47.

LOL!  Yeah, it's all over.  Ron will just have to continue being Florida's governor.  Meanwhile Joke Biden, who ran for President in 1988 and finally became President 32 years later, says "hi."

As long as he's not my governor, I'm happy.
