Is this guy the best that the Republican party has to offer?

[–] BackOnMyBS@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Trump is actually destroying DeSantis in the polls at 54.5% (Trump) to 14.8% (DeSantis). I have no idea how any Republican can lose to Trump. They don't even need a platform. All they have to do is go out there and call Trump out on all his bs. Point out he's failed businessman, make fun of his corny superhero NFTs, show how he sucks up to Putin, emasculate him conservative-style for wearing make-up, say that he will probably die of old age within the next 5 years...call him a rapist! That's it. Just do it.

Honestly yeah - I feel like to many of his competitors (especially DeSantis) are trying to emulate Trump, when really they should be going directly against him. They're scared shitless of pissing off his voters, but clearly trying to appeal to them by being Trump v2 isn't working either, so I don't see what they have to lose
