Ron DeSantis' Supporters Send a Warning to Donald Trump
newsweek ^ | Jan 22, 2024 | Katherine Fung

Supporters of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis' now suspended campaign are sending a warning to Donald Trump, threatening to withhold their votes from him should he win the GOP nomination this summer.

A number of DeSantis backers expressed their frustrations with Trump supporters, whom they tangled with during the nomination race, and signaled that they could be holding a grudge that has the potential to cost the GOP the general election.

Another pro-DeSantis account, @KaladinFree, warned Trump supporters that their candidate of choice "can't afford to lose ANY" DeSantis fans. It said that if Trump lost the 2020 election, presumably with the support of all the voters who backed DeSantis this time around, there is no way for Trump can win the 2024 race with only some of those voters.

"I'm done with Trump. Yes, DeSantis was the superior choice, but now we are stuck with this trash," another X user wrote. "Do NOT donate to the RNC or to Trump's campaign, 80% of your $ will go to his legal bills, nothing left for house/senate seats. Donate locally. We must keep the House."

Are these the Lincoln project supporters, the Bushie clan or ?? They weren’t voting for Trump anyway. They would just as soon see the country destroyed by another four years of the demented perv than vote for Trump. They gotta keep the uniParty going.

“holding a grudge that has the potential to cost the GOP the general election.”

But what about “supporting the Republican Nominee”?

Gov DeSantis did his part and gave his support.
A class act.
He knows that another Dem Term is the end of America.

Many FloridaMan backers would rather virtue signal a throw away vote for RFKjr, than preserve America.

For how long have we MAGA folks had to vote for shiiitey candidates the GOPe pushed on us?

Now the NeverTrump brigade of FloridaMan backers will withhold their support because of Mean Tweets, “Inarticulateness”, and his very effective name-calling tactic?

One of the best things our PDJT, The GOAT, has done is having exposed all the fakers.
The “True Conservatives” that have conserved nothing.
The BushBabies still dreaming of a return to McRomBush milquetoast.
The Closet Dems hiding as RINOS in plain site.
The Social Leftists demanding their place.
The list goes on.

Time to Choose:
MAGA or Dem Destruction.

So they are voting for the communist? Or are they going to sit at home sucking their thumb?

Unless they have mail-in voting, it will probably be the latter.

“If ye love Ron Desantis better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.”

And yet, there are examples of FR posters doing that here.

All part of the Bell Curve of human behavior.

It would be nice if Trump would take accountability for his disastrous handling of COVID that drove many of us to DeSantis in the first place.

Apologize profusely, admit he got it dead wrong, and reassure America that he will never partake in anything so destructive again.

I wonder how long it will be until Newsweek fires all their reporters ? A.I. usually has faster and better connections to the Internet and doesn’t take potty breaks.

Trumpers need to bear in mind what our mothers used to say -”Keep that up and you won’t have any friends left.”

DeSantis locked down his state. What are you talking about? He praised Fauci. He said he is doing a great job.
