If he was "one of them" the GOP establishment would have united behind him from day one and forced the other lesser candidates out of the race in an effort to beat Trump. But this didn't happen, instead, and the GOP establishment is now shifting their support to Nikki Haley (who most definitely IS one of them).DeSantis literally has no concern about the communist weaponization of three letter agencies against political opposition. Because he is one of them.

Doesn’t this just p*ss you off?
Dems are panicking over this poll

Moar indictments!!!
Trump is Israel’s best friend. He is the most pro Israel president of the last 100 years(his words)The problem as I see it is the establishment GOP including the DeSantis types are in bed with the Dems and are part of the cartel.
As we saw in 2020, election fraud was rampant. As we have seen with the GOP debates, that is of little concern to the establishment. Ballot harvesting, ballot stuffing, mid night drops, followed by indictments, J6 arrests and imprisonments, the Bolshevik style attacks against the opposition.
Trump is an outsider to the DNC/GOP power brokers.
Ukraine.
Israel.
Trump's love for Israel is so great, it is bigger than his famous egotistical love for himself.Trump is Israel’s best friend. He is the most pro Israel president of the last 100 years(his words)

DeSantis is many things (a poor campaigner with zero charisma, a borderline autist, a manlet in denial) but he is not and never has been Deep State. That has always just been a baseless talking point from the fringes of the Trump campaign. The discussion is quickly becoming academic, though, because Trump continues to be a political juggernaut and DeSantis just isn't a skilled enough campaigner to compete with him. DeSantis had a good opening to beat Trump in early 2023, but it's been rapidly closing since the indictments and at this point seems like an extremely remote possibility. It's unfortunate, because I still think he's an exceptionally intelligent and capable executive and would make a great President. But that simply doesn't matter if you can't win the primary. Barring some unforeseen calamity, Trump will win the GOP nomination (and then probably have the election stolen from him again and be thrown in prison afterward).
I think despite seeing significant numbers of protestors against the Israeli attacks on Gaza, the US electorate is still overwhelmingly pro-Israeli, and failure to support Israeli is still the third rail of American politics. Regardless of the true electorate, the elite is 100% on the Israeli side. If Trump failed to be fully in favor of Israeli, it would be like stepping on that third railed. He's be instantly fried.Trump's love for Israel is so great, it is bigger than his famous egotistical love for himself.
If he came out opposing Israelis murdering babies and bombing hospitals (which no other major candidate is doing), he could easily pick up enough points from independents (who decide every election) to turn this into a landslide.
Trump is firmly in the Israeli camp of course, but it was funny when he said "there are lot of really smart people in Hamas. It's really terrible how Netanyahoo let his country down." Trump is disengenous enough that he wouldn't even have to do anything to support the cause of Palestine, but he could do the lip service. He could say the word "white." He could speak out in favor of Assange and Snowden. He could have ended the war in Afghanistan, which was a foregone conclusion. He could have done any number of simple things to signal to voters that he's a populist, but I guess he's too dumb to even be self serving.
Of course, don't misinterpret any of the above to mean that I believe elections are "real" competitions in any form. The points above are more evidence that elections are always fake and gay theater.

Wow, 76% of Americans think supporting Israel is in the national interest of the United States.the US electorate is still overwhelmingly pro-Israeli, and failure to support Israeli is still the third rail of American politics.
The Bill Maher mystery is finally explained here to my satisfaction.
Mystery: How could a guy as smart as Maher have such bad TDS?
Answer: Evidently, Maher's news sources are insanely limited.
Bill believes a Russian budget of $100K and some highschool quality memes that no one saw can sway an election. (The memes included anti-Trump and anti-Hillary memes.)
Bill believes that Paul Manafort sharing some stale internal polling data with a Russian Billionaire (while scamming him) swayed an election.
Bill was not aware that Hillary REPEATEDLY claimed the 2016 election was rigged. As did many in the Democrat party.
Summary: It's an information problem. Bill's brain appears to be fully functional, but criminally misinformed.
