Ann Coulter Is Rooting for a Trump-DeSantis Throw-Down. She's Not Alone.

[Zorro]

Ann Coulter has a gift for pushing just the right buttons to inflict maximum irritation. She has been a top-tier troll since Donald Trump was little more than a failed casino magnate.

Which makes Ms. Coulter’s recent attacks on the former president — her onetime political idol — at once delectable and illuminating. Take her contrarian assessment of Mr. Trump’s chokehold on the Republican Party.

“No one wants Trump,” she asserted in a column last week. “He’s fading faster than Sarah Palin did — and she was second place on a losing presidential ticket.”

Parsing recent polling data, Ms. Coulter made the case that high approval for Mr. Trump among Republicans is less about his enduring appeal than about the G.O.P. having been boiled down to a Trumpian rump. Increasingly, she contended, “the only people calling themselves ‘Republicans’ these days are the Trump die-hards.”

2. So tough to keep a score card these days.....

What's today's 'forecast?'

Mitch?
Lindsey?
Ann Coulter?
Cruz?
Christie?
Rush? - Oh, wait, doesn't matter......

I guess we're ALL waiting to see what tomorrow's headlines reveal - and it only keeps getting better and better.....

3. I'll be amused when it heats up. But you know what? Once they designate a candidate

all we be forgotten as they line up. Not TFG himself, but other rethugs, if DeSatan wins the nomination.

4. Republicans fall in line.

Democrats must fall in love.

6. I dont think it will be anyone but trump.

Insofar as they will even hold a primary if he runs, it wont be a primary as we understand it...it will be a game show to see who gets to be Donald's new House Elf.
