Hillary was a formidable force for Bill Clinton.

Hilary however was too vindictive, which sank her 1993 health care scheming and her 2008 presidential campaign.

“he needs to be surrounded with professional people”

Finding the right helpers is an executive’s biggest challenge.

“But do you think a woman can lead a country that is the size of the U.S.?”

I am a great fan of Kristi Noem.

The Trump cultists on this board are disgusting.

Sucking up POLITICO Resistance porn about Casey DeSantis is a new low.

Nothing about the Cult of Trump surprises me anymore

Why don’t you read the article first, before you start pearl clutching and ranting about it being a hit piece? You link to a RedState article that suggests Roger Stone is behind this “hit piece”, and yet the “hit piece” only mentions Roger Stone twice and takes a critical view of the criticisms he’s directed at Casey DeSantis. From the article:

“Have you ever noticed,” Roger Stone, the notorious political mischief-maker who is both a DeSantis antagonist and a many-decades-long Trump loyalist, remarked in a Telegram post last fall, “how much Ron DeSantis’ wife Casey is like Lady Macbeth?” — an agent, in other words, of her husband’s undoing.

Stone’s hyperbolic charge is but a piece of a broader effort on the part of Trump forces to kill in the crib the candidacy they consider their greatest threat. They recently have scored a series of key albeit early strategic wins — a flurry of in-state endorsements, for instance, contributing to the perception of a novice, faltering DeSantis that’s also visible in a slide in early primary polls.

I call BS on your facts. Did you write the same scathing opinion on Melania? Do you know if Melania is so ambitious that she helped push Trump into anything? Of course you don’t but you seem to know how Casey DeSantis thinks and what she wants for Ron. Yeah...right!

I have a question for you.

We know Trump was criminally set up, we know top officials in these government agencies were criminally undermining and attacking Trump and his associates, 24/7 for 7 years, and then attempted to destabilize and overthrow his administration, ALL of which totally influenced the last election. We know this.

And DeSantis’ response to all this high treason against Trump is to run AGAINST Trump?

Do you find that a bit odd?

You make it sound like DeSantis was responsible for all the bad things Trump went through.

Trump had the election stolen from him. He went through a bogus Collusion pack of lies. He’s been impeached twice. He lost his suit against the Stormy Daniels lawyers. He had his home at Mar-A-Lago raided. Many of his associates have been arrested. He just lost a civil case against Jean Carroll. He will soon be indicted for election tampering in Georgia. He has most of the GOP against him.

And he himself is angering conservatives with his “DeSanctimonius” insults.

Chances are good that they are going to get him. If he himself doesn’t get himself first.

I hope that doesn’t happen. I really do. I’ll gladly vote for Trump. If he makes it to Novemeber.

But if worse comes to worse, I keep reminding you. There is a viable Plan B. And it’s not Pence, Nikki, or Christie. And staying home or writing in Trump is no option at all.

Quit nitpicking on the best governor in America. Many of you only Trumpers openly admit he will be great in 2028. But in 2024 he sucks? Oh Please.

What a stupid comment.

It's not his policies that suck in general, but his choices in 2024.

His choices to be disloyal to the man who made him politically.

His choices to accept the support, both campaign cash, and endorsements, from every Tom, Dick, and Harry that are Globalists, and GOP-E, and who are lined up and doing everything possible to defeat Trump.

Your lack of honesty in this is Stunning!

You knew that before you posted that distorted comment.

You’re a really disingenuous individual.

Better hope now. We don’t need another “two for the price of one” like the Clintons. Unfortunately for Ron, it’s entirely believable. He doesn’t come across as authentic. If he’s really getting facial expression coaching then he’s everything we dislike about career politicians: phony as a $3 bill and as apt to blowing with the wind. I don’t want another lawyer-politician that we’re sifting through word salad to try to understand.

Give me a break. If he's the "best" as you say and can't handle "nitpicking" then he's roadkill in 2024 or on the international stage.

Do you live in Florida? Try paying the insurance premiums on the Florida house or condo nowadays. Ron DeSantis is not even trying to fix that problem. He’s running for president.

Who cares about her? Desantis is a flash in the pan. Soon to be single digit midget in the polls.
