If that happens you will get 80% of what you want.

If Trump keeps going like he has this past week, you will end up with Biden II and an emboldened Squad-influenced government.

As the band sand, “You can’t always get what you want.”

“Trump isn’t conservative.
Trump is not fiscally conservative.
Trump is not personally socially conservative.
Trump is not religious.”

Interesting list of things you think Trump isn’t.

This is a very long list of what Trump did:

“No National Experience-”

Depends on what you call national experience:

He was a Federal Prosecutor

While in the House, he was Chairman of the subcommittee on National Security

He was also on committees of foreign affairs, the judiciary, economic growth and the constitution.

He Co-founded the House Freedom Caucus.

He ain’t no hick.

This sounds very Conservative to me:

Which POTUS was as successful as Trump? Look at what Trump accomplished:

  1. Gas price per gallon was about $2.30;
  2. Inflation about 1.4%, mortgage rates were half of what they are now;
  3. Unemployment was low before Covid and before Blue Governors shut everything down and we were in the midst of a V-shape recovery until January 22, 2021;
  4. Tax decrease; tax laws promoted small businesses as well as large;
  5. US enjoyed energy independence - No Green Agenda, no war on energy, No Paris Treaty;
  6. No war in Ukraine, no threat of nuclear war, NATO paid its way;
  7. China was quiet and we were winning the trade war;
  8. US companies were bringing home the jobs due to well executed tax treatments;
  9. Peace in the Middle East aka Abraham Accords; US Embassy moved to Jerusalem; and Iran was isolated.
  10. Got three non-left “I don't know what a woman is” Supreme Court Justices on the bench allowing Roe vs Wade to be overturned.

Who the heck can accomplish the above in four years while being impeached twice and investigated by Obama's Weaponized Agencies?

“For those who are not aware, both DeSantis and Youngkin have been in talks with the McConnell, McCarthy and Paul Ryan wing of the bush league chamber of commerce worshipping republiCAN’Ts about running against Trump.”

Source, please.

Trump is the only one with the FU money that allows a YUGE amount of Independence.

DeSantis is going to have to sellout/get bought-out to be competitive. He will be captured into a DS orbit.

DeSantis has done a great job on the state level but he’s green on international level Trump has proved he knows what and how things needs to be done.

If DeSantis is smart he should run after Trump’s term is up it’s a win win deal 4 years Trump 8 years DeSantis It’s going to take that lone to bleach the swamp.

Now is no time to take the stupid road let’s try this deal is crazy.

This is BS. We have establishment Republicans who have been trashing and trying to elimate MAGA Republics for seven years.

And anytime MAGA Republicans dare to respond, they get lectured about Regan.

Ron has said nothing about running nor has he hinted at it (as far as I know). Trump should lay off the attacks until Ron actually runs...

Some of the worse establishment Types are out pushing DeSantis over and over again. DeSantis can choose to say nothing about this but then Trump has every right to respond.

Winning 50 national races is not going to happen without right of center moderates and the GOP.

MAGA won in 2016 and 2020.

Yet you are lecturing them on how to win.

“I’d like to see Trump say something about how the Florida election laws should be the national standard though.”

That is a very good idea. Totally agree.

Reagan signed off on an amnesty for millions of illegal’s. Trump would never do that.

We only remember the good things.

I’d rather Trump go after the GOP Elites pushing DeSantis than Ron himself. Now..if Ron jumps into the race than Trump can go nuts.

A couple of people here started posting this two days ago, but could never provide any proof of these alleged talks, despite a number of Freeper asking for proof. The best I could tell, it was just made up their heads as a way to “explain” Trump’s attacks. They kept right on posting about it, and now it keeps getting repeated.

Do you have any proof?

There are articles posted here, on gateway pundit, the Washington Post had an article...
But, these were behind closed doors secret type negotiations...
No secret is safe in DC, and Trump found out.
If you want proof of secret negotiations, if you want pictures and videos or recordings, if you want written contracts, then I will say that I don’t have any of that.
But I will say, why else would Trump go on the attack, and why the silence out of those two?
I don’t know if you are old enough to remember, but this is how they took out the tea party...
The old guards though process is, it worked once, it’ll work again.

No one has ever posted these articles from the WaPo, etc., that I can find. When asked for links, no one has been able to come up with any. Can you kindly provide links?

I remember the Tea Party well.

Why the silence? I would stay silent, too, in their places. Why interrupt your enemy when he is making a fool of himself? And if there were these secret meetings, why didn’t Trump mention them instead of leaving everyone scratching their heads as to why he’s making these attacks? It’s up to the attacker to explain why he’s attacking.

As it stands, unless someone can provide links and I can evaluate these articles myself, it appears to me that people are making up excuses for Trump’s attacks, and other people are just repeating them without checking them out. In other words, starting rumors.

With 3 young kids, I can see DiSantis serving out his full term in Florida.
