Trumpism has cost the GOP in three consecutive elections, yet it looks like the GOP base may continue to stick with their guy

A new CNN poll found that the GOP base is more interested in picking a 2024 GOP nominee who agrees with them on issues than one who can beat Joe Biden.

Frida Ghitis: Polls show that the base seems stuck in 2016.

She says it's hard to win Trump’s base without actually being the 76-year-old reality-television host or how do they out-Trump Trump? Ghitis says candidates must find something to offer the American people.

DeSantis has been focused a lot on education, and perhaps that is because he thinks he “won” the pandemic by keeping schools open in fall 2020 and 2021.

The problem with his using his previous pandemic “success” is that he wasn’t that successful.

The other problem with the “DeSantis-as-COVID hero” narrative is that schools are open across America.
