Trump is beating President Joe Biden for the first time all year in a Quinnipiac University poll. Quinnipiac oversamples Democrats and polls "registered voters" instead of "likely voters." So, all their polls are tilted against Trump.

And still... he's beating Biden.

In credible polls of "likely voters" Trump is beating Biden badly (which translates to an electoral landslide). Trump is even beating Biden among minority males. And he's beating Biden on all the key issues: economy, immigration and war.

Which is why Democrats are in full-on panic mode. They now understand they have to kick Biden to the curb. Standing in the on-deck circle is Gov. Gavin Newsom and (they hope and pray) former first lady Michelle Obama.

But this column is not about Trump crushing Biden. This column is about the also-rans who think they're running against Trump in the GOP primary. "Think" being the key word. In reality, they're running for vice president... or for bigger book deals and speaking fees... or they're running to represent the RINOS, D.C. swamp, or the deep state.

Ron DeSantis started out on fire. Everyone loved the job DeSantis has done as Florida's governor. Everyone (but me) thought he'd beat the pants off Trump. But as they say at the border, "No way, Jose." It turns out the more voters get to know DeSantis, the lower his poll numbers go.

Quinnipiac says Trump leads the GOP primary 64% to 16% over DeSantis. That's almost 50 points for all of you who attended public schools. Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley has 9% in the same poll. Trump is beating her by 55 points.

DeSantis and Haley both desperately need to be indicted.

C'mon New York, or Georgia, or Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith. Someone must want to indict DeSantis and Haley! You can almost hear DeSantis pleading with prosecutors, "What about me? Doesn't anyone want to indict me? I'm bad too!"

Here's the thing. You only get indicted by Democrats if they're scared of you... if you're a legitimate threat to their power... if they think you might beat them and upset the apple cart... if they fear after you win, you'll have the balls to indict them and all their deep-state business partners.

Not to mention their other partners in crime: China, the Mexican drug cartels and the biggest criminal cartel of all: Big Pharma.
