Of course. As I tell GWB every other day, "the day will come when the dems will wake up realize that the Trump is the candidate they wanted to run against." It becomes hard to characterize all Republicans as "Ultra-MAGA Trumpers" (their original game plan) if republicans are clearly looking at two or three other candidates.
The other dynamic going on is that the media needs Trump fiercely. All of their programming and ratings - with both left and right leaning networks- was built around Trump. But Trump is not really out there much these days so they have to create a whole new set of demons. As we are seeing right now, if there is any lull in that usual diet of Trump, they are not opposed to ragging on Biden for Plan B. And they all think they are above getting in the mud on any Hunter Biden type investigations but they are not- if there is nothing else going on. Same point you made I guess, I am just extending it beyond dems to the dem media as well.
The other thing is that in earlier posts I disagreed with those who say that there is a coming slugfest between Trump and DeSantis. I asked why when "the trend is his friend" he would get into that. After all, he wants Trumps voters. I am standing by that. DeSantis can read the polls, and he can see Trump getting hit at Mar-A-Largo and flailing around. Why the hell would he want to do anything other than just "let the trade work".
