DeSantis: GOP 'Must Reject the Culture of Losing,' No More 'Excuses'
News Max ^ | 5/14/2023 | Eric Mack

Posted on 05/14/2023 7:47:32 AM PDT by rod5591

While echoing the policies and positions of former President Donald Trump, Florida GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis took some veiled shots the runaway GOP primary polling leader – blasting Republicans as having been losers.

"We must reject the culture of losing that has infected our party in recent years. The time for excuses is over. We've got to demonstrate the courage to lead and the strength to win."

"If we make the 2024 election a referendum on Joe Biden and his failures, and if we provide a positive alternative for the future of this country, Republicans will win across the board," DeSantis said. "If we do not do that, if we get distracted, if we focus the election on the past or on other side issues, then I think the Democrats are going to beat us again, and I think it will be very difficult to recover from that defeat."

Hijack?

Telling the truth is called hijacking a thread?

The truth hurts, doesn’t it?

DeSantis is the most aucssesful Conservative Govenor in the Country. Meanwhile, Trum0 is bowing before groomer Disney, and calling thev2nd a privlag3 not a right.

“So Ron D. is saying Biden “won” fair and square, I guess?”
************************************************************
He’s not saying there was no voter fraud or manipulation of the voting process. He’s saying get off our asses and do something about the situation beyond whine and make excuses.

...when the media will shred the next guy just as badly?

Exactly. There are few people in history IMHO who could personally withstand the onslaught like that directed against Trump and still come out on top.

The commies go for personal destruction every time. Maybe readers here are too young to remember Romney, Bush I+II, Reagan, Nixon. Or there are just plenty of Charlie Brown's here ready to kick the hell out of Lucy's football this time

Now, in 2023, the left is especially vicious, unaccountable and emboldened.

Reject the culture of losing. That is a slick way of saying don’t vote for Trump in the primaries without actually saying it.
