DeSantis' people getting real mad. Just monitoring the right wing civil war going on right now I can't help but think DeSantis has completely miscalculated. What other conclusion can you come to, based on the polling over the last month (including all the post-debate ones). They think this nomination is going to be driven by online-centric culture war shit. Trans shit, vaccines, lockdowns. In reality, no one is thinking about that shit. We all saw the debate. How many times did trans shit come up? Not once. How many times did "woke" get uttered? I may have heard it a couple times but that's it. That shit is not moving the needle. Speaking of the needle, most people are not obsessing over covid vaccines anymore. Hundreds of millions of people got the vaccine, and hundreds of millions of people are still doing perfectly fine. I applaud Trump for how the government managed to speed up the vaccine creation. It's working. And we know this in part because we can look at data from countries with vaccines that didn't work (China, Russia).

So if it's not gonna be trans shit or vaccines what will it be? I think republicans just want to win, and the last guy who won for them was Trump. They want to win, they want retribution, they want to punish people who make them feel stupid/racist/etc. That's all it is. And they don't care what Trump says or does. He's their guy. And until DeSantis finds a subgroup of republicans larger than that? He's fucked.

I wouldn't say that's all It is. Perhaps it is with some Republicans but not all. Many Republicans just have different values than what is mainstream American politic. Black people have a similar bent and would vote Republican if not for the racism. That's a different set of values. Asians have a different set of values than most Democrats. There's nothing wrong with the T word, and that word being Tradition.

Biden is fading fast.

What will this look like after another year of phony court cases and Trump PR stunts.  :doge
When will the Democrats pull the plug on Biden.

Why would the Ds pull the plug on Biden? Better or worse Biden has legislative victories and they have no one to replace him with in seriousness. Also polls mean jack shit with an election a year away especially given the very same polls predicted a massive red bloodbath last year which was successfully quelled. Biden is the first president in how many generations to not get his party shit wrecked in the midterms despite being the party in power. Given all of this why in the fuck would Democratic Party replace what's working for them? Especially with Trump as their supposed opponent there's no reason to do anything. Never interrupt your enemy and all that. Power moves 101. Another power move? Silence. For the most part Dems at the national level are letting Trump and co. do their battles for them. Democrats are actually certified G's and have zero reason to rearrange their chess board.

He stopped tweeting this eventually so presumably he was arrested and we just never heard about it. Currently is Vox's legal reporter.

To be fair, the 2022 midterms were a surprising success overall for the party in power despite the slim loss of the house. Largely driven by abortion, concerns about democracy, and anti-Trump sentiment. Biden may have been in risk of a primary challenge if a red wave had happened, but I think he's safe now (barring a health issue of course).

I'm not concerned about general election polls in fall 2023. As I've said before, show me a path of Trump winning MI/PA/WI. I don't see one. It'll be a high turnout election and an onslaught of early voting/mail ballots will kill republicans again. Am I thrilled about Biden? No. At the same time he has been a surprisingly good and effective president.

I also think it's clear some pro-Trump groups are flooding junk polls, similarly to what happened last fall. No, Trump isn't winning 12% of the black vote. No, Trump isn't winning suburban women. Trump isn't really running a campaign for president right now, he's running an influence operation. Is he beating DeSantis? Yes. But given the recent scramble from his people to put boots on the ground in Iowa it seems like they feel something is off. The Biden/general election polls are basically him projecting an aura of strength but that shit falls apart if he loses Iowa. And I do expect that he will lose Iowa; Evangelicals seem to have moved on from him. Do I think Trump wins the nom? I think he starts winning immediately after Iowa, sweeps the south on Super Tuesday, and wins most Midwest primaries. Basically I think we're gonna see a slightly weaker version of what he did in 2016, and DeSantis will end up retreating to Florida for a last stand on March 19th.
