Now before people latch on and say "you have TDS, you're just a leftist/RINO supporter" let me preface this, I do think he should run and win being president, but the way he is doing it is wrong.
I think he should run as an independent
The people vote for HIM, not the Republican party, if he came out in the speech saying in his own way "I cannot trust or respect the leadership of the Republican party especially when they denied funds to many in the midterms, so I am running independently until that trust can be earned". This would do a lot:
-
Deny funding from the MAGA supporters to the Republicans, they'll still have their interest groups but now can't mix the money with grandma's donation.
-
Bring more focus on the leaders like mitch because they've now been openly challenged
-
Kill any hope for a Republican nominee, anyone trying to run between Biden and Trump would be committing political suicide so those suspicions of Desantis, this will be the ultimate test if he can see the trap. And since he's independent, they cannot screw him in the nomination process.
Just my thoughts, still concerned that Trump doesn't have the best advisors still and not making moves like this .
I never claimed to be right-wing, I'm a pragmatic realist.
Here's how I see it going towards and to 2024 under the current strategy:
They'll be a changing around of 'leaders' in the Republican party but they'll basically be younger versions of the same RINOS, Trump will campaign showing he has grass root support but all the time the Republican leadership, Democrats, establishment and Media all work to undermine him.
While this is happening, no effort will be made to ensure mail in voting is either gotten rid of or ensure the same kind if rules that Florida has will be put into effect.
I doubt Desantis or any real competition will be there in the nomination phase, Trump will get screwed once again at election, Democrats will win and a lot of MAGA voters will be blackpilled.
What a lot of people don't get is that when Trump got in he did it because he was essentially outside the rules so wasn't constrained by them, since then they've changed the process to apply to him, the same strategy won't work as it did in 2016. There is little of a 'right' in the Republican party, most of them wear it as a skinsuit so better to deny them that title, make it so they are basically Democrat light and not waste time being a hamster in their wheel.
