Apparently, you don’t read polls very well either. DeSantis is getting thrashed by Trump in all of them. If you think Trump can’t beat Biden then how do you expect DeSantis to beat Biden when he can’t even win over the majority of GOP voters to get the party nomination?
Polls at this stage are meaningless. If he front runner this early is rarely the nominee. And as I said I like DeSantis but there may be someone else out there as well - time will tell.
“DeSantis is being used by the left and he doesn’t even realize it. He is getting played hard. Trump is trying to do him (and all of us) a huge favor.”
I think he realizes it but believes their promoses
Strongly supported, voted for, and raised money for DJT in 16 and 20, and every time I think he might be getting back on track he does some stupid shit like this
If he gets the nomination and loses are the only-trump people going to insist it’s his turn again in 2028 and everyone should sit back and wait their turn?
Trump didn’t give the name Meatball to DeSantis and doesn’t use the name. Stop believing unnamed sources from CNN.
“Stop these Trump Racist slurs .
The are not okay .
Trumps hate of Desantis and his background are sickening .
Trump is a sick petty immature ugly Sleazy NY developer narcissist”
Italian is not a race, it’s an ethnicity, and as far as Italian ethnic slurs go, “meatball” is pretty weak. In fact I can’t think of a really bad one. I quess we’re just not insecure about our heritage. Of course in the old days if someone said it to my face it would have started a fight. But in those days I had a reputation to maintain.
That's not how the law is currently written. He is free to run for a federal office, but the requirement is to resign no later than the moment he takes the oath of office and becomes president. No one thinks he wouldn't do that.
The complication is that if gets the nomination and loses, it appears that he would still have to resign. The wording of the law is unclear, but that's how I read it. We will have to see what the Florida legislature does about this issue.
Thank you for acknowledging your belief in your intellectual superiority.
Trolls and Bots and Bears, Oh My!
If Trump is such a “loser” as MOM MD describes, why would anyone, Democrat or Republican, fight so hard, for so long to get rid of him?
I think optics play a big part in this as well. I’m not a Floridian but it irks me that he ran for re-election promising to serve the good people of FLA and as soon as his new term started, he started “campaigning” for his next job. Makes it clear he is a career politician. Makes me think a lot less of him.
Agree
Does anyone really think DeSantis isn't going to run now? My God, he'd like the biggest pu$$y if he backed out now. He'd be accused of bending the knee to Trump's taunts. He'd be done.
Worst thing that can happen is he runs and loses the primary, setting him up for an even stronger run in 2028 after eight straight years of Democrat ineptitude.
What I replied to another thread:
To: SoConPubbie
If Ron DeSantis is an American-First, MAGA supporting patriot he should fulfill his commitment as Governor of Florida. By doing so, particularly if he helps President Trump get re-elected again, he would be the prohibitive favorite in 2028. His best course of action is to get free of the Wormtoungues he has surrounded himself with, tell his wife to go make a sammich, and wait.
If, on the other hand, he is just another GOPe cardboard cutout, then he should by all means run in 2024. By running against Trump he will get rect and exposed, eliminating the threat of another Establishment feces-sandwich that the base would be told they must eat and smile while doing so.
And Trump clearly doesn't believe the polling. Notice, he's not going after any of the other candidates. Only DeSantis. He knows these polls are BS.
“How dare DeSantis behave like the Republican party is a political party that follows republican traditions...”
The Republican tradition if for the incumbent President to automatically assume the nomination for the coming election.
You DeSantis-bots are harebrained. Get over DeSantis. He is pro-abortion, so he will not ever be elected as a Republican.
You might recall that Christie took flak in 2020 for neglecting his job as governor while running for the presidency. You can be sure that issue will emerge again in 2024 if DeSantis runs.
I think he is correct.
By following Rove and Ryan et Al, Ron is destroying credibility he achieved.
He is behind in polls and endorsements in FL, where his brand is strongest.
Trump won twice and can win a third time. No other Rep can win without getting the Trump voters out. This is no longer the McCain-Romney GOP. It is the party of the American worker and economic nationalism. Trump’s policies worked. Only Covid changed the economy and voting rules and procedures that allowed the Dems to steal the election.
If we have fair elections, Trump wins in a landslide. Open borders, inflation, high energy and food costs, Biden Crime revelations, etc. will doom the Dems unless we allow them to steal another election. A fringe, tiny group of anti-Trump Freeper trolls is irrelevant.
