Fauci now admits what the rest of us knew

In this century, the single best moment that any candidate on either side has had in a debate is when Gingrich was asked right out of the gate if he wanted to address the claims that he was having an affair while his wife was sick. His response: "no, but I will", and then excoriated the media for bringing it up. IMO, that was the impetus that launched Donald Trump.
You mean the thing the New York Times is running with based off anonymous reports with no actual indictment or grand jury?
He lost this last election because he lost support with suburban white women who were tired of all his antics. You can say I am out of touch with America all you want, but the facts speak for themselves. Trump lost the popular vote twice (the 2nd time by more than the first), and the lost support with suburban women which is a demographic any Republican is going to need to win. He is also the only president since the great depression whose party lost the house, senate, and next presidential election in a 4 year period. Those are facts. I dont see how you can say out of touch when the actual results show Trump was bad for his own party.

Nothing is clear at this point. There are always people considered to be strong candidates, who dont end up doing well when the election cycle actually starts. I think Desantis is a strong possibility, but it most certainly isnt a given he is the candidate.
That’s fantastic!They are already working on a Biden hologram for the debates.
While DeSantis is probably the nominee, I’m not sure he wins. I think too many underestimate the celebrity appeal Trump had. He pulled ppl out of the woodwork who hadn’t voted in decades to vote for him. I’m not sure Ronny D can do that. People ain’t traveling across state lines to hear him speak. He’s smarter than Trump, but he isn’t the spectacle.
Very wrong, on all counts.
Exit polling shows across racial and ethnic groups, women shifted towards Trump in 2020.
White women:
Won by 9 points in 2016
Won by 11 points in 2020
Hispanic/Latina:
Lost by 44 points in 2016
Lost by 39 points in 2020
Black women:
Lost by 90 points in 2016
Lost by 81 points in 2020
Go on and tell me how white men (the only group Trump did worse with in 2020) were put off by his machismo and being mean to the media.
Don’t let the fact that Biden turning 82 won’t deter voters.
Sure, I agree. Just saying DeSantis stands the greatest chance of gaining traction from Trump followers as well as "traditional" moderate Republicans (whatever that means, the Atlanta Suburb moms I guess).
I said "suburban white women", not "white women" in general.

While whites continue to favor the Republican candidate—as they have in every presidential election since 1968—it is notable that this margin has been reduced from 20% to 15% nationally.

DeSantis will gain Trump voters because he doesn’t back down the way all of the other Republican Presidents and candidates have since Reagan. He also won’t drive the “oh, but he’s so mean on Twitter” people away. Despite the media’s attempts to use their COVID brush to paint DeSantis, he’s got a good record there. He also has a positive approval rating from 88% of state Republicans and 57% of Independents (of course, 73% of Team D voters disprove). His net approval among Hispanic voters is in the 60% range and he’s even getting approval from 40% of African American voters in the state.
But the leader three years out is rarely the candidate an Election Day so who knows.
So a group that voted for Democrats in 2016 by 7% was tired of Trump’s shit in 2020 and voted for Democrats by 9%?I said "suburban white women", not "white women" in general.
Yet among white voters with college educations, there were notable shifts in Biden’s direction. White male college graduates reduced their support for Trump from 14% to 3%. At the same time, white female college graduates boosted their Democratic support from 7% to 9% nationally. Moreover, in key battleground states, white female college graduates generally registered greater support for Biden in 2020 than they did for Hillary Clinton in 2016.Exit polls show both familiar and new voting blocs sealed Biden’s win | Brookings

Uhhh... that’s not exactly “losing support from suburban white women who were tired of all his antics.” That’s doing slightly worse with a group that already didn’t go for him 4 years prior.
Either way, it’s asinine to think that Ron D is going to suffer from half the self-inflicted personality wounds that plagued Trump.
That is nationally. In battleground states it tended to be higher, but keep in mind, there were also 17 million more voters in 2020 than 2016, so even a small % can still be a significant #.
It isnt asinine to think that at all. For better or worse, personality matters in elections. Desantis has some Trump like traits to him, but no where near the charisma, and I think that could be a problem for him. But we will see how it pans out.
We are obviously a long way out and some of what I am predicting is a bit of shit talking...BUT:
If I had to put some money down on 2024, I would on Ronnie D. I think he articulates his rhetoric quite well and stays off of social media to lure moderate voters who went against Trump in 2020. And he's not part of the shit-tier Capitol gang like Cruz, Little Marco, et al. who have more than worn out their welcome among voters and really have no business running ever again. I suppose another name is Tom Cotton, but I'm not sure he's as likable as Ronnie.
The wrench into all of this, naturally, will be iF Biden DOESN'T run in 2024 and we get PC'D over the head with "VOTE FOR KAMALA, YOU MISOGYNIST DONKEYS," which I honestly can't wait for...
Which if I had to put money on, it will be Kamala. The other thing with DeSantis is name recognition. Governors have not done well in national politics for some time now.
Those in tune with politics will know who DeSantis is. But now that politics is turning boring again without Trump, will Joe Schmo who has returned to a more normal life post Covid know him, especially those outside Florida.
Which is too bad because Governors tend to be better prepared for Executive Branch positions.
I'm not sure I would agree with the premise. Bush, Clinton, Reagan and Carter were all governors. If anything, governors have had more recent success than they had for the previous decades.
