This is a final warning message for @RonDeSantisFL

Trump is the hummer in the populist lane. By far the largest share in the party.
Ronny’s only lane is the neocon establishment that is getting more busy.
He has no chance at victory. I think he must see that.
Trump has damaged her myself in the na uo am to the point he is unelectable. e of the base has had it with him let alone independents and moderates which are ne essay to win a national election. If Trump is the nominee say hello to Biden or Newsome for 4 years
Well said, nikos1121.
Exactly.
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.
Dream on
The Republicans attack republicans and schmooze democrats
Republicans get in to office and betray their base. Name one who hasn’t. Trump hasn’t
He defends his base voters and works for them. Keeps his promises
“Trump is doing a pretty good job of self-sabotage”
That’s not correct
Trumps poll numbers constantly increase
wow. don’t type on iphone in the dark. Trump has damaged himself in the national more than anyone else could. The moderates and independents necessary to win a national election will never vote for him. If he is the nominee we will have 4 more years of dem disasters
DeSantis should wait.
Until he’s secured Florida’s elections.
And solved Florida’s impending budget nightmare.
That point of view requires willful blindness.
That’s pretty convolutes. It is wrong to expose a RINO poser because Trump will win anyway?
How much name recognition does DeSantis actually have today? Sure, FReepers know who he is, but the public outside of Florida does not.
Pretty tough to beat the name recognition of Trump especially after his excellent record as President.
So n reality, Ron’s chance of winning are mighty small compared to Trump’s chances.
Plus, Ron has not been tested as a NATIONAL candidate. Heck, he even refuses to rebut Trump’s challenges. Why?
Trump has every right to say what he wants to Ron. In fact, he’s playing smart politics — and it also happens to be Ron’s best ticket for a 2028 run at being President.
So going after Ron is fair game and Trump addressed him frankly and professionally commensurate with his strength to continue to lead the critical fight ahead of us.
This is politics. And if Ron has the “right stuff”, he should be out there swinging right now. So I ask Ron’s FReeper supporters, why is Ron only shadow dancing with Trump? Why does he refuse to challenge Trump directly?
Honestly, I think Trump is trying to avoid a big fight on the GOP side for the nomination because it looks like the Dems are going to have a huge battle in their ranks. Watching the Dems battle it out is going to be interesting, especially if Joe wants to run again.
The theory is, if the battle is hard enough, the party gets injured in the fight. Trump doesn’t want the GOP all beat up before the election. He considers the other “contenders” not a challenge to his nomination and hopes the Dems get damaged somewhat in the process.
I actually think a battle makes the candidate stronger if he/she has to fight for it.
The big obstacle for any GOP nominee is Dem cheating. I hope Trump has a plan to overcome that. Trump’s coming out to support Disney isn’t going to help him with the base.
Why does he refuse to challenge Trump directly?
***************
You asked and I’ll give you my answer. I suspect he doesn’t
feel it necessary at this point. When that point is I don’t
know. After all he’s trying to get himself known among some
of the top guns for support and money.
He deserves a medal of bravery and a crown.. for taking the abuse and not giving in.. for staying the course.
If it were not for Trump, America would be commie country. Evidently you don’t see this as serious.
I believe he is waiting until the time is right. The front runner this early is rarely the nominee. Better to let Trump self destruct on his own and swing for the fences when it counts. By the way I like DeSantis but have an open mind. It’s early there may be other viable candidates out there The process needs to play out
“That’s why the real Trump supporters and those who want the GOP to win in 2024 do want DeSantis to run a clean campaign for the GOP nomination.”
Would you call Trump’s 2016 campaign “clean”?
I would say that’s the last nail in his coffin, but I am sure he has many many many more.
Perfect analysis. Desantis is Cruzing himself.
All incumbent Presidents feel the primary is unecessary. In Trump’s case HE DESERVES the nomition without challenge from his own party because of the all the unconstitutional sh!t that has been down to stop him.
