I was looking at this graph of the Republican primary polls from the beginning of this year until now when a realization struck me:

Trump's numbers go up at almost precisely the same points in time that DeSantis' numbers go down, and by almost the same percentages. Has DeSantis' self-immolating campaign actually made Trump's popularity increase?
Not only was it planned to bounce numbers for POTUS, IMO (I mean, who TH walks around in clown-sized boots that are obviously highlighting the ridiculous?), but also (very important here...) to identify RINOs and suck money out of the DS coffers. This allows MI to trace more financial paths back to the DS puppet masters, maybe even uncover previously unknown sources of DS funding.
