Former President Donald J. Trump is dominating his rivals for the Republican presidential nomination, leading his nearest challenger, Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida, by a landslide 37 percentage points nationally among the likely Republican primary electorate, according to the first New York Times/Siena College poll of the 2024 campaign.

Mr. Trump held decisive advantages across almost every demographic group and region and in every ideological wing of the party, the survey found, as Republican voters waved away concerns about his escalating legal jeopardy. He led by wide margins among men and women, younger and older voters, moderates and conservatives, those who went to college and those who didn’t, and in cities, suburbs and rural areas.

The poll shows that some of Mr. DeSantis’s central campaign arguments — that he is more electable than Mr. Trump, and that he would govern more effectively — have so far failed to break through. Even Republicans motivated by the type of issues that have fueled Mr. DeSantis’s rise, such as fighting “radical woke ideology,” favored the former president.

Overall, Mr. Trump led Mr. DeSantis 54 percent to 17 percent. No other candidate topped 3 percent support in the poll.

1. As the trump party rallies behind a sure loser.

8. Me to my wife in 2016: "There's no way in HELL trump will beat Hillary"

Granted, Hillary had nearly 3 million more votes nationwide than trump, but thanks to our fucked up system of electing a President he slithered into the White House. I'm extremely leery of ever predicting his downfall again, we simply can't take his defeat for granted. Hopefully he'll be a convicted felon and behind bars next November, but I'll believe it when I see it.

And I'll add to my rant - what a sorry statement about those who call themselves republicans.

2. Anyone running against Trump for the GOP nomination

are likely banking on the idea that Trump will drop dead in the next year.

[peppertree]

3. By poisoning if need be

Somewhere, in some smoke-filled room, Republican bigwigs are actively discussing the feasibility of a "Wayne Morse" solution to their Trump problems.

Or a George Wallace one.

I ga'ontee.

[MyOwnPeace]

4. But the REAL question is...............

WHAT THE FUCK is WRONG with these people?!?!?

[modrepub]

6. If You've Constantly Been Bombarded with BS

that some horrible democrat in some far off city (that you've never met or seen in your life) is responsible for all of your problems, it's a hell of a lot easier just to go with that explanation than try and figure out what's really going on.

5. This demonstrates without a doubt that the base of the Republican Party consists of racists, bigots,

sexists, and insurrectionists

[Skittles]

7. CORRECT

the man does NOT hide who he is - his sick base APPROVES

[groundloop]

10. Yep..... at least prior to 45* most of those racist bigots stayed hidden beneath their rocks

45* made it ok to openly be a racist homophobic bigot.

[Skittles]

11. honestly, it was the election of Obama

it made the racists and bigots emerge from under their rocks, and Trump became their leader and made them LOUD AND PROUD

[speak easy]

12. 'LOUD AND PROUD'

and full of it

[hibbing]

9. Racism being #1 imho n/t

13. The Only Way Trump Won't Be A Candidate in the Fall of 2024

--even if he's in prison--is if he achieves room temperature before then. Club Pachyderm is stuck with him as their candidate.

--XXX--

The end of American (US) Exceptionalism. Another sign:


Come the autumn of 2024, Donald John Trumo, beloved candidate of racists and xenophobes, will join the ranks of those other presidential candidates who ran for office from prison or from threat of prison, such as Hugo Chavez, no less than seven Peruvian Presidents, one Argentine vice-president, at least one Bolivian president, at least one Panamanian president, and others I certainly missed.

14. A very said reflection on the Repuglican Party

They don't have the common sense, morals or ethics to govern. They are sickening.

[ZonkerHarris]

15. the best con men leave their victims unaware they've been fleeced.

[republianmushroom]

16. Dumb and dumber.

[LudwigPastorius]

17. So, over 40 million registered voters are all in on a criminal, insurrectionist traitor?

I bet the founding fathers never had that one on their bingo cards.

[msongs]

18. he is a mirror of their family values nt

[samsingh]

19. he's crushing his republican opponents in the % of traitors, criminals and imbeciles that are in the

republican party

[truthisfreedom]

20. Biden beat his ass the first time

He’s the asshole to go up against this time, with the economy on the rise.

I live in a rural community and the people who voted for him last time are split this time.

21. Nothing Beats The Babbler

[twodogsbarking]

22. Priming the pump to hear Trump say "How could I have lost? The polls showed the greatest lead of

anyove ever. *Stollen election."

Trump spelllling.

[Marthe48]

23. Do r's realize there are many other r's to pick for their candidates?

Rather than the current crop of lying, slimy p.o.s.? Surely to God, there are some less crooked p.o.s. r's willing to run for public office who don't stink as much, and might capture the teeny little brains, and fill the dark hole where other humans have hearts enough to let traitor wend his way to prison.
