A new national University of Massachusetts Amherst Poll finds Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) running neck-and-neck with Donald Trump in a potential head-to-head matchup for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, 51% to 49%.

When both are included in a larger field that includes potential candidates such as Mike Pence, Nikki Haley, Ted Cruz and others, Trump leads the field with 37% of Republicans choosing him as their preferred choice for the party’s nomination, with DeSantis close behind at 34%.

Said professor Ray LaRaja: “DeSantis appears to be the choice among the more establishment-oriented Republicans.”

1. What would be great is if Trump loses the nomination...

... and his supporters refuse to vote for the winner.

5. Even better if Trump loses...

and runs as a third party candidate or independent.

2. Without any doubt, the republican party today is the anti-Democracy party

3. Just imagine that these two are the republican party's front runners for president. Just imagine.

This feels so strange and out of control. I wish my sense of humor to adjust better and take that in and laugh about it. I'm just sort of horrified.

4. I would love to see a battle royal, a fight to the death between the two.

By the time the election rolls around everybody would be sick to death of both of them.
