PT better go outside of Ronba mc rom Bush, and set up a massive Ballot Harvesting Operation or we will have a replay of 2020.

The real reason is that PT going all in on the Culture war, taking the gloves off, and becoming Trump 2.0, completly cuts off DeSantis’s best argument.

If you remember correctly, Trump stopped openly gay and trans in the military. Even went to court to uphold it. Trump is a live and let live kinda guy, but he doesn't play the forced support and participation game.

“Why does DeSantis have that Pushaw woman on his campaign ? This woman was literally in bed with Ukrainian and Georgian politicians. MAGA isn’t Pushaw’s agenda.”

Glad you used the word “was” above, as all you need to do is look at a recent picture of Ms. Botox.

You’re probably right.
He’s a professional politician. That’s what they do!

“I’m writing in Trump if DeSantis is the nominee. I am simply not voting for any other Republican.”

I’ll still vote for the nominee, but I respect your position, and that position represents MILLIONS of Trump supporters, the supporters that DeSantis needs to have any hope of winning.

I think he sees that “live and let live” was a ruse all along. They called down the thunder by going pedo, and they need to be pushed all the way back. Wayne Allen Root has a great piece on his website on what a second Trumpnterm should be, learning from mistakes, and being ruthless and relentless.

When you dig in you find more ways Ron's COVID story unravels. just search the bolded text for many articles.

During a news conference in Cape Coral on Tuesday, DeSantis said Biden’s plan to use the federal disaster agency and the National Guard to build COVID-19 vaccine clinics across the country would be a “big mistake.” “I saw some of this stuff Biden’s putting out, that he’s going to create these FEMA camps, I can tell you, that’s not necessary in Florida,” he said. “All we need is more vaccine. Just get us more vaccine.”

If something dreadful were to befall former President Trump that would take him out of the 2024 presidential race, Lt. Gen. Mike Flynn would be my choice for a Trumpian stand-in. In fact, the thought just occurred to me, Gen. Flynn should file as a GOP presidential candidate now...just in case.

One of the most brutal yet beautiful takedowns ever.

If [ epithet ] would read this and understand the perfect logos behind it, he might just get out.

"Ron DeSantis cannot win the GOP nomination without an external intervention to change the dynamic. If you start your review of sequence from that acceptance point, then you realize those who support Ron DeSantis will need to support the external intervention. In this instance, a corrupt and weaponized leftist U.S. Dept of Justice.

The DeSantis team, just like the Ted Cruz team that preceded him, are more anti-Trump and anti-nationalism than they are anti-corruption in government...Team DeSantis, the billionaires, the RGA, RNC and the entire coalition of ideological influencers, may be willing to eat the bugs – but the overwhelming majority of the voters will not; nor will they accept a transparently weaponized Dept of Justice as an external force against the will of We The People.

The reason I shared the Casey DeSantis video yesterday is an element of this dynamic. Like her husband, she’s unbearable. Like her husband, she is fake. Like her husband, she is artificial, annoying and becomes more unlikable the more you are exposed to her. The scale and visible scope of the inauthentic political pandering underway by both Casey and her “The Governor,” Ron, is hilarious."

One of PT’s biggest mistakes was to fire General Flynn. Bringing him back to the WH inner circle should be a top priority.

If they ran him to destroy him then we are lucky we found out about his lack of judgement now before it was too late.

This country can’t stand much more of this corruption.

Why is it that, if his campaign falters for 2024, that means he has no shot in 2028? History tells us, that many presidential nominees do not get the nomination the first time they run in primaries. This is even true of a man almost all Freepers admire, Ronald Reagan. Who knows what the political landscape will look like four years from now. It seems premature to me, to say DeSantis can not run in 2028 because of what’s going on with his campaign now.

This is not the usual case. There is a civil war for the soul of the Republican party. Its not just that DeSantis showed himself to be a lousy campaigner. It is also that he showed himself to be the tool of the Donor Class/RINOs. He is in bed with them. He adopts their positions be it tariffs on China which he opposes or walking back his opposition to US involvement in Ukraine. Notice also how he won't go after the Deep State.

Its not just disloyalty to Trump or to the voters in Florida he promised in 2022 he would not run for President in 2024, it is also that he he showed he's in the RINO camp. That is going to make him persona non grata in the MAGA camp which represents by far the lion's share of the voters on the Right. That's why DeSantis is toast.

Because in 2028, DeSantis will have to run against VP Youngkin or even President Youngkin, and there is no way any donor would spend a nickel on a rogue primary run by [ epithet ] when incumbent Youngkin is already in.

Youngking is boring and too Establishment, although he would make a good Senator. Noem on the ticket gets a little slice of the female vote, and then she could be mentored, and be prepared.

I am only suggesting this because Trump needs this state.

Nowm refused to shut her State down during covid. She was a little weak on Trade, but being mentored as VP would help that. And she is a Pentecostal, the antichrist media freak out would be hilarious. She is a solid choice.
