Trump has to get the vote to be the Republican nominee to run for President. If he doesn't and DeSantis does, but Trump runs as an Independent....WTF do you do? Pick DeSantis and prove the establishment right, pick Trump and possibly divide the Republican vote?
Either way, win for the Democrats...
So, how can we combat this scenario? There's plenty of time.
this is the hard part you almost cant with out abolishing the elctorial college see its a magnificent catch22
