I think I’ve had enough of Trump and his idiot supporters. If Trump wins the Republican nomination, I’m going to sit the 2024 election out. I’ve had enough of the mean-spirited man and those mean-spirited people who support him. Go pound sand.

Please don’t punish America by staying home. Trump has his flaws, but he’s accomplished much, and he’s far better than any Democrat — or RINO like Nikki.
Ron DePathetic. 😏
Classic!
I take no pleasure in the political demise of Ron DeSantis, but he made a huge political miscalculation: When the 2020 election was stolen from Republican voters, the stand-up thing for any Republican leader to do, was to have President Trump’s back, not to challenge him.
President Trump was the clear choice of Republican voters in 2020, and still is. When Republican leaders failed to join Trump in challenging the stolen election, they betrayed every Republican voter.
The same thing will happen to Nikki Haley and the others. Republican voters are still outraged and bitter over 2020 - and they know full well what is going on with this banana republic lawfare against President Trump.
So when Haley, the new uniparty choice, fails to defend him - or joins with the Democrats in attacking him - she too will go the way of Ron DeSantis.
Calling names such as "DeSanctimonius' is not how I would run a campaign. That said, calling somebody sanctimonious (boohoo) is a pretty tame name to be called.

Sitting out is what's completely "idiotic".
Wise post.
“Do you think Trump calling R rivals “Desanctimonious” and “Birdbrain” is smart/wise?”
Have you paid attention to what his R rivals are calling him?
At all??? There is not much they haven’t called him.
May we see your data?
DeSantis losing to Krispy should be a wake up call. Ron should have listened to Trump’s base, it was not your time.
Could be people are not buying what he has to sell?
That’s funny. When you have no facts to fight with insults work for you, it appears.
Trump is not going to select Ron DeSantis for attorney general.
For attorney general Trump will select either Jeff Sessions or William Barr.
I wish FR had a like button.
“I take no pleasure in the political demise of Ron DeSantis, but he made a huge political miscalculation”
It almost looks like deliberate, internal sabotage.
No problem....

Excerpt:
The bill will undercut Disney’s autonomy, but it could impose a steep cost on Orange and Osceola counties, where the theme park is located. The two counties would inherit the Disney district’s debts, which officials say would result in higher taxes.
...
Disney operates like a county government, building and maintaining municipal services like electricity, water and roads, and providing police and fire protection. It even taxes itself. The setup was intended to give Disney autonomy while also relieving the counties of paying for new services and infrastructure in what was once a remote and rural area.
But Reedy Creek’s status changes under the measure DeSantis signed: Senate Bill 4-C, targets it and five other independent special districts that were created before 1968.
Why will Disney’s debt transfer?
The Florida Senate’s own financial impact analysis of the bill states that in most cases when a county takes over a special district, it “shall also assume all indebtedness of the preexisting special district.” In Disney’s case, that could put local governments on the hook for about $1 billion in bond debt.
The state Senate’s analysis concluded that the bill would have an “indeterminate fiscal impact” on residents and businesses in special districts, as well as on local governments that will assume debts and assets.
The change promises to shake up the local tax picture, according to Scott Randolph, a Democrat who is the Orange County tax collector.
“If Reedy Creek goes away, the $105 million it collects to operate services goes away,” Randolph said via Twitter. “That doesn’t just transfer to Orange County because it’s an independent taxing district. However, Orange County then inherits all debt and obligations with no extra funds.”
Disney also taxes itself around $53 million each year to service its debt obligations, Randolph said.
The situation quickly prompted warnings that county property taxes will sharply rise. Citing an interview with Randolph, Danielle Prieur of member station WMFE in Orlando reports, “homeowners here could see property taxes jump by 20% to make up the difference. And even then, it probably wouldn’t be enough to cover all the money that would be lost.”
Your sense of sarcasm is off today. I see nothing to suggest that DeSantis would improve on those two nor that Trump has not gotten better at avoiding depp satae moles & quislings.
I’d be ok with that. I just don’t like how trump bashed DeSantis from day one. It’s childish.
Actually I have.
Starting with his time in Congress when DeSantis voted To grant President Obama “Fast-Track” Authority For trade bills submitted To Congress, Including Trans-Pacific Partnership and The Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership. DeSantis is against tariffs which would protect America and impact companies with multinational footprints. Many of his original owners were focused on multinational business support.
Sorry I got distracted in my post to you. I said owners but I meant original large donors. I did not meaan to imply ownership.
