DeSantis says Trump should've given up power like George Washington after election loss and January 6: Florida Gov. takes a dig at rival for trying to overturn the election instead of acting like a Founding Father

The SS DeSantis took several hits at the water line and is listing to port. Quick, shuffle the deck chairs! Queue up the band!

Great post. Chgogal! Why are so many forgetting Trump’s great accomplishments?

The eGOP types don't see those things as great accomplishments. They were one and all a detriment to their political positions.

“Desantis sounds like he hired a Bush family communications advisor.”

Even worse, he hired Ted Cruz’s PR guy, the man who drove Cruz and his family to the Airport while Texans were freezing to death.

To paraphrase Jessie Jackson; “Stay out the DeBushes!”

I believe RDS’s political handlers thought that if it looked that Trump was down, then Ron should attack.

Those GOPe handlers have never been good at reading people. Most of them end up on MSNBC or CNN when nobody hires them anymore.

Welp.

Aye, aye Sir!

Glorious 2016 memories in this vanity.

The implication is that Washington was better than Trump. No sale.

[vivenne]

Agree, 100%.

Incidentally, I don’t think the RINO cabal even cares whether DeSantis wins the presidency, just so long as he knocks Trump out of the primary. They have always seemed to be perfectly happy to have a democrat in charge. What they won’t tolerate is an outsider who seeks to disrupt their cozy little D.C. club.

Another freeper who has learned from his time here.

I’m sure he did it to help the publisher of his book, Rupert Murdoch, promote his commodity, Ron DiSantis.

[kiryandil]

EXCELLENT stuff!! :)

Big money Club for Growth probably made him say that. If DeSantis declares he’s running for President, then he has to go after the small donors like me. Just sent another small donation to President Trump...

[LilFarmer]

Well said. Any candidate who doesn’t get what happened in 2020 will not take preemptive steps to prevent it or fight when cheated out of a win in 2024. As long as we continue to have roll-over Republicans in charge, I don’t see how we win another election. (aka Ronna, Kemp, et al)

[vivenne]

I think Ron believes his own hype.

The dems and their fellow travelers in the GOPee are scared to death of Trump. The would much rather run against DeSantis.

[Pollard]

Yeah, screw us who voted for him and were robbed of our votes. Way to get the MAGA vote.

DeSantis has been totally co-opted by the GOPe. Kind of difficult for his supporters to deny it at this point. This was exactly what I was afraid of and on guard for. Shame it happened.
