yes, and you just answered your own question
trump would whine and cry for a month or two, then the unity talk would start. and the republican base would remember that even though trump failed, desantis is all that's standing between them, and this
think real hard about what kind of people hardcore trump supporters are. do you REALLY think they'll decide to stay home en masse, and let biden/liberals just freely win the election?
think about every grifting MAGA piece of shyt in right wing media. think about the worst MAGA congressmen. are they REALLY not gonna end up screaming at their audience to not let 4 more years of biden happen, because trump lost their own primary?
