Multiple things can be true at the same time:

There are 4 possible scenarios on the right of how the GOP race will unfold & how each group believes what will happen:
1. MAGA scenario: Trump is currently way ahead and will coast to easy victory in IA & NH. Haley & DeSantis will drop out by SC. He will coast to the nomination.
My political journey:
Dad was a Goldwater GOP

2. 1980- my foray into liberal views; John Anderson

4. 1988/92 Bush
1990 was pivotal as I discovered Rush Limbaugh and became dittohead

So what have we learned the last 2 weeks?
1. DeSantis beat both of the MSM fav candidates (Newsom & Haley) in debates
2. Trump is not the huge draw he used to be, with less viewers than DeSantis
3. Trump thinks he can get 150 m votes, and use private oil reserves to stabilize
Trump says his 4 years were the greatest 4 years anyone has ever had.
NO. To hell with that.
2020 HAPPENED.
It was one of the worst years in US history. Trump was president and he failed miserably, and people suffered immensely because of it.
Just finished watching recording of this. Another slam dunk. This is why we must continue. It’s my dream that we can have a candidate that can easily speak off the cuff about multiple issues from a conservative viewpoint. We will not get that when one geriatric is running against

She wouldn’t deport anyone.

Terrible idea. He’s already more powerful and influential as Governor, even as a lame duck. Look at Reagan’s route; his term ended in ‘74; spent next 2 years touring the country and then came within an eyelash of upsetting an incumbent.
Crazy thing is he couldn’t get it done in 90 days last time. Unless he has a clear Senate majority, he won’t get many of his cabinet confirmed in first 90 days. Plus probably impeached right away if GOP loses house. That will slow down any legislation.
