I'm kind of surprised the Republicans prefer Trump, DeSantis is at least not a complete buffoon, he seems to be quite intelligent (I'd view him as significantly more formidable of an adversary than Trump).

Then again, the articles on that poll mention that DeSantis is heavily favored by educated GOP voters, and Trump by uneducated voters. Clearly uneducated GOP voters are making up a significant majority. Not that that is a bad thing in of itself, the Democrats have long prided themselves on being the party of the working class, although the voter demographics seem to be swinging

It's not about what the Republicans prefer, it's about what the oligarchs and CIA prefer.

Having moderate Republicans also isn't polarizing enough. Democrats are funding Trump candidates. This way the "educated GOP" and sheep will vote for moderate Democrats and not some third party, as letting Trump win would be a bigger evil.

Yes. I also made this point to Fozzie yesterday regarding the relevance to Biden's speech. It isn't consistent to claim MAGA is a threat to democracy on the one hand, and then go and back all the MAGA candidates financially on the other

DeSantis

He got real rich in office.
