"He is only there to grease the wheels of President Trump's imprisonment, and everyone knows it."

It looks like Ron sold his soul very easily. I would hope his back-stabbing has destroyed any political future he thought he had. If I'm still alive in 2028, and DeSantis, somehow ends up being the GOPe nominee, I'll be writing Trump's name in, whether he's alive or not.

President Trump made DeSantis.

Trump helped DeSantis across the finish line in 2018. DeSantis enthusiastically endorsed Trump in 2020 where Trump would win Florida by an even greater margin than he did in 2016.

The debt has been paid. DeSantis does not owe Trump a lifetime of fealty.

"The debt has been paid. DeSantis does not owe Trump a lifetime of fealty."

But he owes the people of Florida fealty, that he promised to serve a full second term if they re-elected him.

[HonorInPa]

Trump can only serve 4 more years and he’ll spend at least two years in court getting nothing done.

[Golden Eagle]

Trump is clearly grasping at straws here. He took a big drop in the first comparative poll today from one of his very favorites, Emerson, which had to hurt. And the next debate is at the Reagan Library, which he’ll want to dodge again too in order to avoid any comparisons to The Gipper. There’s nothing but more bad news on the horizon for him, most likely. Tucker and T-shirts are probably about tapped out now.

I’ve seen the Only-Trump Cult referred to as “Trumpanzes”. It fits.

[ilgipper]

DeSantis will either be president or not. He’s a leader and decision maker. Not a bloviator.

[ilgipper]

Agreed. Trump is a walking disaster at this point. Childish idiocy. Hoping Iowans end this train wreck so we have a shot in 2024.

[enumerated]

LOL. No one believes you.

You're one third right about that.

[Drew68]

LOL. No one believes you.

Look for yourself. Feel free to peruse my posting history. It's all there.

The wonderful thing about Free Republic is that once we hit "post" our words are here to stay. We can't go back in time to old posts and edit or remove anything. We're all open books here.

You are aware of this, right?

[Owen]

Folks just do not understand. Still.

Politics is never going back to the past. There is no presidential. There is no childishness. There is no requirement that a candidate be anything other than ONE THING.

ANTI SWAMP. If you have been in politics over 7 years, you are SWAMP. Nothing else matters.

Not spending of QE money. Not taxing of QE money. Nothing else. Just total uncompromising insistence that the candidate for present have no political career.

Period. Full stop. This is reality. This is why Independents have joined Trump. And why non elite blacks have. Get it through your heads. If you are supporting a politician, your choice will be rejected.

The debt has been paid. DeSantis does not owe Trump a lifetime of fealty.

It's not a question of debt. It's whether Brutus or Judas types are what you look for in your candidate.

[Kazan]

He's still going on with that schoolyard crap?

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

[Kazan]

That silly babyshit talk from Donald Trump

What's baby shit is those that keep complaining about Trump insulting their candidate. Get over, deal with it and stop whining about it.

[Drew68]

I look for fighters who win and advance conservatism.

[Kazan]

Trump, by far, the greatest President since Reagan, one could argue, given the attempts by the Republican establishment and Deep State, BETTER.

Any real conservative knows that true.

[Mr.Unique]

Disney Don can’t spell.

[central_va]

I look for fighters who win and advance conservatism.

[Kazan]

I would hope anyone here that is never Trump would be escorted out after Trump wins the nomination.

Steve Bannon is absolutely right when he says Trump is only the third man in US history (along with Washington and Lincoln) whose fate is tied to the nation's.
