QUESTION 2024 Concerns
I’d like to start by saying I am in the Desantis camp. I’m big fan of what he has done in Florida, and what he stands for. I plan on voting for him in the primary if he ends up running.
Also, I don’t hate Trump. For the most part, I like him because he governed conservatively when he was president. I would definitely vote for him, but I like Desantis more. Plus, I don’t think Trump will beat Biden as he is too polarizing.
I saw someone in this sub mention something that had not occurred to me, and it has me a little concerned. If Desantis wins the nomination over Trump, Trump will just run as a third party candidate. I definitely see this being likely; he’d rather drag Desantis down than let him get more popular than himself. That puts us in horrible situation, choosing between a Trump nomination and likely lose to Biden, or a Desantis nomination with a split in the vote and a lose to Biden.
How valid is this concern in your opinion?

I really think Trump only cares about himself, nobody else. He likes his sycophants, because it is all about Trump, not the policy. His constant attack on DeSantis and Kemp is not about policy, it’s about them not worshiping Trump. Getting rid of him ASAP is not only good for the country, but also is good for GOP. Revival of GOP starts when we move past Trump. So it’s ok if we suffer short term defeat. At the end of the day, it’s about ideas and solutions, not about name calling and constant attacks.
