DeSantis says Trump Colorado ruling is ‘stunt’ to ‘solidify support’ for Trump in GOP primary

“What the left and the media and the Democrats are doing — they’re doing all this stuff, to basically solidify support in the primary for him, get him into the general, and the whole general election is going to be all this legal stuff,” DeSantis said Wednesday, speaking at the Westside Conservative Club Breakfast in Iowa.

“What they don’t want is to have somebody like me, who will make the election not about all those other issues, but it’ll make the election about the failures of Biden, the failures of the left and how we’re going to be able to turn the country around,” he continued.

DeSantis is right. We going to talk about trials and tribulations for the next year instead of the nose dive toward totalitarian hell the USA is in.

DeSantis is the actual stunt to solidify support for Trump.

OOOOh, Ron! Sorry!

We were looking for something along the lines of “an attack on democracy”, not self-serving promotion.

Exactly what I was thinking.

What the hell is wrong with this guy? All he had to do was wait a few more years and I believe he'd have had a good shot at the nomination and in the short term a shot at being Trump's VP.

I think what ruined him was actually doing what Club Rove was telling him to do and believing his own reviews from the RINO clowns stroking him.

What a shame because whether one likes him or not he has solid, conservative bonafides and for the most part has toed the line in that regard.

“I have never seen a politician mis-understand the people he’s trying to get to vote for him more than DeSantis.”

***********

I couldn’t agree more. He is repeatedly finding new ways to destroy his political future. His tone deafness and ineptitude are stunning. I once thought he was smarter than this, but his campaign has been a total disaster.

Yeah, with something like a 70 point lead, it was a very close call for Trump to win the nomination. This "stunt" is what put him over the top.

LOL. It’s like accusing NFL referees of rigging a Super Bowl that ended in a 70-0 blowout.

I’ve seen video clips from msnbc and cnn where the hosts talk to an “expert” on constitutional law. These experts actually believe that the U.S. Supreme Court will agree with the Colorado Supreme court because the argument was “masterful.”

The treatment he is getting from the courts is despicable and unfair, but that’s the evil nature of Dims.

But the DeSantis statment is right.

The left has set up a win-win. Persecute Trump and his base and most moderate Republicans will flock to him. He’ll win the nomination, which the Dims want, and then they can make the election about him. They know that he energizes the Dimocrat base beyond measure and many Republicans will not vote for him under any circumstance. Add even one bogus conviction and they cement his loss in the general.

Trump won’t be running against Biden and the last poll I saw a few weeks ago had him losing to a “generic” Dimocrat by 8%. Biden may yet cause WWIII and/or a depression and make Trump electable.

“Is he serious, is he pulling my leg..so the left is trying to HELP Trump by doing this..is he smoking what Hunter is smoking”

I agree with you. That is the only conclusion I can come up with.

Yep. Reno has been an Anti-Trumper all along.
Thinks if Trump is taken out, Meathead will just “inherit” Trump voters.
