“These ‘Trump or Die’ fools will not do likewise if Trump isn’t the nominee, and they’ve been saying so flat-out on this forum for months now.”

BS. There are no “Trump or die” folks. There are no Only-Trumpers. There are no Trump cult worshippers. Those are just things Never-Trumpers call us when they can’t think of a good comeback.

Regarding Trump’s believing DeSantis would run against him...

Trump is a strategic thinker. I believe Trump knew from the outset when DeSantis first begged Trump to support him for Florida governor that there was a strong likelihood DeSantis would double cross him.

I have no basis in fact here, other than watching how Trump operates and seeing how powerful a manager he is.

Trump probably figured DeSantis was too much of a rookie and DeSantis would be an easy mark to defeat — which is proving true.

Your have to be able to sell the product. [DeSantis] can barely smile.

I’ll give Ted Cruz some credit on that point. Even when Trump and Cruz were going at it, Cruz could smile and engage with voters.

I'll see your BS and raise you one horseshit. For you to say this, you either spend very little time on this forum, or live in fantasyland.

Which is it?

I have to laugh when know-it-alls like you seem to be call folks like me 'Never Trumpers'. Seeing as I voted for the man twice, and have publicly stated numerous times I would again, that takes your 'Never Trumper' crap and puts it in the trash can, as well as discredits anything else you have to say.

“Ron DeSanctimonious”........that is SO presidential. SMH


Ron is 1000% more conservative than Trump. That’s why Trump, and suedo-conservative FReepers, fear him.

Trump attacks Ron for being conservative. And dopey Trump apostles applaud him for it.

Maybe you are a neverTrumper, maybe you’re not.

But all the neverTrumpers here say the same thing - that they voted for him twice and would again - but then in the same breath they trash him at every opportunity - calling him “his own worst enemy” or some such BS - and calling his true supporters fools or worshippers.

If you are a Trump supporter, support him - it’s that simple.

It is indicative of your level of unquestioning, slavish devotion to the man that you immediately view any valid criticism of Trump as "trashing him". Not healthy, alhough you're not alone there. I'm no Never-Trumper; in fact, I was one of the first on the bandwagon. The very fact you throw that insult around so quickly displays an enormous prejudice there. You need to work on that. As I stated earlier today, conservatives are supposed to do better.

I just don't think Trump's perfect, and beleieve it or not, a lot of people don't. I'm not perfect either. Neither are you.

He did much good - a damned shame it didn't last, beyond his judicial appointments. If Trump does get back into the oval office again, I look forward to seeing heads on pikes all the way down Pennsylvania Ave on day one.

“…unquestioning, slavish devotion to the man…”

There you go again.

“If Trump does get back into the oval office again, I look forward to seeing heads on pikes all the way down Pennsylvania Ave on day one.”

You and me both
