I argue that the situation isn’t the same for the Dems what with not putting Biden up for re-election would be very unexpected and as such only really Kennedy has stood up as a “potential candidate”. But I concede that I was wrong given that you both interpreted what I wrote differently from how I thought, and what you understood has been disproven.
Those who won’t vote for him in the primary will likely still vote for him in the general is my main point. Republicans always fall in line and there is little to indicate this time will be different. The people who would vote for DeSantis but at the same time would abstain from voting for Trump meaning improving the Dems chances must be in the single digits. Also those 78% aren’t a big share of Republicans as a whole and further many of those likely are DeSantis supporters. The bottom line is Trump still has mind boggling support from Republican voters.
