    I guess that's the real question here. Lots of people are very "ride or die" for Trump, which is the opposite of "looking to bail" as far as I can tell. I do think that regular voters are easily going to fall in line, if they are straight ticket R folks. But Trump's magic was bringing out people who didn't vote regularly, and aren't "likely voters" if you're only looking at statistics. Is that something DeSantis can replicate?

    I should clarify and say Trump voters as opposed to supporters. He has a pretty solid base of hard core supporters but not all Trump voters fit that criteria (as much as the narrative on here tries to push it). 

    I think your last question is up in the air due to the fact DeSantis is just another politician. 

    The Rs will most definitely "fall in line" behind whomever the candidate ends up being. It's something they do well (and to their detriment with Trump) and something the Democrats struggle with.

    Quinnipiac is the biggest liberal bias poll out there to be fair. I remember they had some democrats winning Florida by 6 or 7 points polls which ended up being totally wrong and disappointingly misleading.

    It's relevant because their previous poll had Walker ahead by 1 (statistical tie due to margin of error). 

    The Governor's race is a statistical tie in both the previous and most recent Quinnipac polls. 

    It's probably an outlier that Warnock is ahead by that much but I doubt it is in the sense that Walker is imploding.

    Trump had a unique ability to bring people into politics that otherwise don't care. I don't know if DeSantis has that. Kind of reminds me when they tried to make 2018 Betomania happen again in 2019-2020 on the national stage

    This is a great point IMHO. 

    Trump was the ultimate outsider - someone who had never held elective office. He even had a slogan for it - "drain the swamp". It resonated with people. 

    DeSantis is a lawyer and has been in politics for many years (several in the US House and now governor). 

    That said, he still checks a lot of the boxes the MAGA crowd likes and doesn't have anywhere near the baggage of Trump. It's an easy switch for Trump supporters looking to bail.

    This dude seems like a real piece of shit. I wonder if they will subpoena him

    Just saw a clip of her on CNN saying the exact same thing. 

    Also, she has spoken to Casey since her testimony. There may even be more - the thing is she can only answer what she is asked by the committee. Also, she started to "connect the dots" after her original taped testimony and realized she had more to offer. So Casey got rid of her Trump-provided lawyer and got her own, then went on the air with live testimony.

    And then there's this:

    There's more coming.

    Buckle up.

    Question for the gallery -- Does Trump's bullshit and the subsequent claims from every Republican candidate that loses (even in their own primary) of voter fraud eventually turn into a "boy who cried wolf" situation?

    Was just reading through this article about the Colorado primary for SoS: https://www.yahoo.com/news/indicted-election-denier-tina-peters-031611473.html

    It has all the usual suspects... Dominion, MyPillow guy. Reading through the comments (yes, it is Daily Best, but hosted on Yahoo), it's universally dogging people claiming fraud every election. Any chance that these folks have shot their wad to the point that no one listens to them anymore?

     

    If they were doing it only for when they lost to Democrats, then they could do it and get away with it.

    But these clowns have no message discipline so they are turning on their own. It's going to become a meme at this rate.
