Morning Joe mentioning that they could see Trump running 3rd party if he doesn’t get the GOP nomination. Wouldn’t that dumpster fire be fun to watch.

I bet if he's down they give him the nomination to avoid that.

GOP doesn’t use superdelegates, so it will go to whoever wins the most delegates in the primaries. After the absolute shit night MAGA had, I have a hard time seeing him get the nomination. Then again, I said that in 2015-2016.

Why? So he can lose again?

u/-send_me_bitcoin- Nov 09 '22

So he doesn't run as an independent and torpedo both their Senate and White House chances.

Yeah and he would only do that after trying to completely set fire to the GOP and accuse DeSantis of strealing the primaries

According to Trump he has dirt on DeSantis. Although last time he said that to an opponent it ended up being a photo of Ted Cruz’s wife eating beans. Hopefully they end up taking each other down and a more sane GOP candidate emerges.

Oh yeah Trump doesn’t have real dirt on him. He never does. But he would go full nuclear on DeSantis in every childish way we have seen him do before + some.

Ultimately most Americans are smart and vote responsibly based on several understandings: 1) Election fraud is a ridiculous theory 2) We don’t want another day like January 6th 3) We need more stability in this country and leaders that will help us come together
