“also say Social Security Benefits have to be Cut”

That is a leftist talking point. Benefits won’t be cut, but the program can be reorganized to secure it.

“Where’s your disdain for those saying if Trump doesn’t win the primary, then they’re happy to bring on the next Democratic President?”

Yes that quite disdainful. Who said it? Your straw men?

If DeSantis has a path tell him to resign the Governorship then.

The guy’s become a joke to serious thinkers. You either believe in comic book endings, or you don’t.

************

I believe in the Establishment of the United States being able to rig elections “either way.”
Also, serious thinkers aren’t a majority of the electorate. They also aren’t all conservatives.

If Trump is a joke, your guy shouldn’t have any problem becoming the Republican nominee.

“Only time will tell.”

It takes guts to stand up to your own party publicly.
The GOP Senate sits there and says nothing except “Send me more money”

I too hate spending so much money on Ukraine.

But, after Ukraine falls...

What then?

One thing for sure is that the door will be opened for Russia to seek to conquer other neighbors, and nobody to stop them.

Next up is China taking Taiwan, and then, other neighbors, with no one to stop them.

After Chian and Russia get emboldened to go and take whatever they wish...

The U.S. won’t be far behing for them.

Guaranteed!

They’re all over, more than one on this thread alone. Here’s a specific post.

My question that you never answer is:

Where was Republican Unity in 2016?

Many Republican leaders never supported the 2016 nominee.

From your perspective was that the right decision for those Republican leaders?

Trump deserves everlasting credit for being the ONLY Candidate to Articulate the America First Agenda that we all believe. The question is if he is the best choice to carry it forward.

I believe if you’re a conservative, you should vote for the Republican nominee in the general election, verses sitting out, or voting for someone else.

In the primary, you should try to get the most conservative person nominated, who has a good chance at winning the general.

In 2024, that person is DeSantis, hands down.

Despite all the failures of Trump I already mentioned, I will NEVER vote for a pro-gay marriage candidate in the Republican primary. Trump betrayed us by being outspokenly opposed it before, but throwing parties at his resorts for it now.

“Apparently, DeSantis and Trump both have similar positions on the war in Ukraine and both are odds with neocons and those obsessed with fighting a proxy war with Russia.”

Hmmm, makes me wonder just who the Ukraine Cheerleaders here support for President. Biden/Harris, maybe?

OK man I’ve read your vitriolic arguments with Trump supporters here on FR for quite a while now.

I was quite curious as to how Ron would come down on Ukraine, and I have to say I’m pleased he siding with PDJT. Good for Tucker for fleshing out prospective candidates positions on this critical topic.

Haley, Scott, Pence, Christie failed miserably.
DeSantis passed with flying colors.

I think going against the GOPE here increases the chances that he will eventually be PDJT’s running mate, for the good of the country!

Why? He's doing great things in Florida, actually achieving conservative victories.

Yup!

The most popular president ever will win with an even larger BALLOT total.

I can’t shake it that it feels like DeSantis is just playing a part and the whole facade is just to siphon off votes/support.

If this is Desantis true feelings then he is correct on this position. However he has yet to prove that he won’t buckle when the heat comes down from the establishment.

If he had supported the neocon position then his Presidential ambitions would have been over before they started.

There would not be a “Governor” Ron DeSantis without Donald J Trump’s
Endorsement.
DeSantis was about to be beat by a Black Homo Drug User.

Georgia has become a RINO State and Democrat State.

When did the Governor say he was turning to Paul Ryan? Serious question.

This thread is about Ukraine. You have hijacked several threads over the weeks to promote your anti-gay (especially anti-Grennel) diatribes. Get back on topic. Ukraine.

Apparently indeed! Ron spouts off alot what President Trump said and by the way President Trump gave Results,while Ron still can only repeat what we already heard and saw from Trump! ha!

Whatever DeSAntis says will only count..Will or if he'll run against Trump!
Trump gave results!
DeSantis says alot but yet has to commit,if he's going to run against Trump!
What is DeSantis waiting on....

Time to Step Up Ronnie or call it a Day! Support Trump and let's win the Presidency With Donald J.Trump! Enough said in my humble opinion about DeSanctimonious! ;)

“However he has yet to prove that he won’t buckle when the heat comes down from the establishment”

Exactly - that’s my fear with this guy. Can he take the heat?
