I think it's very possible the 2024 GOP primary ends up being a dud & Trump wins easily thanks to a combination of the base still loving him & other contenders being complete cowards. He's already over 50%, so even if a consensus non-Trump candidate emerges it might be too late. pic.twitter.com/escEDYL1Qa

Why we’re still stuck in Trump’s world. The GOP electorate & the nature of the places they represent push party leaders toward timidity. Until they discover the fortitude to defy the incentives, Trump’s neuroses will dominate our politics.

YouGov shared some Trump-vs.-DeSantis polling with me that raises an interesting point.

Trump tops RDS on a variety of personal and issue metrics, a reminder that he is very well-defined in a way that disadvantages his opponents. https://t.co/BRqoeEeIIL

The Republican Primary is already over. Even the woman literally wearing the DeSantis tee picked Trump. If you think Trump’s done with the Republican Party or that the Republican Party is done with Trump, you’re fooling yourself. pic.twitter.com/hPjVVjILWz

When Trump posted innuendo about DeSantis on his social media site, DeSantis demurred instead of firing back. Instead, his harshest hit that week was on the press. @MichaelCBender and me on whether DeSantis is going to be able to sustain this posture https://t.co/54t0ZE5FWG

Stopping a politician from using your music is not always an easy task, but we are dedicated to making sure that Donald Trump does not continue to use “Hold on I’m Coming” by written by Isaac Hayes an David Porter in further rallies and public appearances.
