Sorry, but I'm not into the exuberance this time. Trump is far from dead. Right now, it's mostly the same media elements that tried to stop him in 15-16. So what a bunch of NPCs are repeating what they heard on Fox about DeSantis. They're easy enough to reprogram.

Trump will start getting attention again. His hardcore backers will act up.

We'll see if he really loses a Republican primary. Most GOP primary voters have maybe barely name ID on DeSantis and there will be others. Then what? If Trump can hang on to even a quarter of the primary voters, he's on a glide path.

Plus if at the end of the day we end up with a somewhat smarter and more capable authoritarian, what have we gained?
