Say what you will about Trump, he's a master and spending other people's money and preserving his own. His strategy of focusing on podcasts/alternative media instead of traveling across the early primary states early is paying off. Meanwhile DeSantis is almost looking like he's being sabotaged. Former Cruz staff people are running his campaign and this is going far worse than Cruz's run...
9mil cash on hand. Blowing through 1mil a month, allegedly. Good luck.
In that sense I think DeSantis vote share will be higher than what the current polls tell us at the expense of 3rd and 4th place candidates.
As for the general election, with Logan, Rogan, Tate etc. the bro culture is so popular right now that it might just narrowly swing the election in Trumps favor but again these aren't reliable voters by any means. They're taking a huge gamble not doubling down on the boomer vote.
