“She’s American, not Ukrainian.”

Close enough - she was forced to register as a FOREIGN AGENT. I suspect they won’t allow DeSantis to jettison her.

I think I’ve quoted Churchill to you before “A fanatic is a person who can’t change his mind, and won’t change the subject.” You need to change the subject. Your comments don’t contribute to a Trump victory.

Yep, it’s another shadow campaign. He was campaigning in Indiana and South Carolina this week, on Mark Levin again today and calling delegates and donors and all the rest that has nothing to do with Florida business which he said he would be focusing on.

Griffin yesterday posted a meme from the 1980s “The Blues Brothers” movie with the words, “We’re putting the band back together,” on Twitter.

desantis' not so stealth campaign hires his sucessful neverbackdown pac team to make Florida's government, neverbackdown2-The Florida winning team!

Is Trump going to hire back all the Bush swamp dwellers he filled his entire administration with who served him so successfully during his first term?

You think this is helping?

From a call DeSantis made yesterday:

“At one point, Mr. DeSantis lacerated Mr. Trump’s record as president, saying he had failed to deliver on many campaign promises...”

More on this tomorrow.

After “never back down” backs down you can’t put them back on payroll.

Never.

Ever.

Oh yeah and btw the revolving door with the SuperPac just gives Justice Department prosecutors a reminder that they should locate and pick up the dusty “campaign SuperPac violation” file.

That is rubbing their noses in it.

DeSantis ran a terrible and probably illegal campaign.

We can’t fix it—and denying it won’t make it go away.

If he is chosen as President Trump’s VP it will be hard for the Justice Department to resist prosecuting DeSantis for some of the most blatant campaign violations in modern history—either party.

This information is publicly known.

Here is an old article if you want to dig into some of the details:

https://apnews.com/article/desantis-pac-never-back-down-campaign-violation-fa2238e79fa48e18962accfc071278a2

Don’t blame me.

I didn’t write the article.

I am just delivering the bad news.

despite your insinuations, there is no evidence that Trump is going to hire rinos if re-elected again....

desanctimonious, however, just showed he thinks so highly of the job his team did with his campaign, he wants them to do the same job with the state of Florida....

so after a couple of reboots, the state of Florida should be in ruins....

“If he is chosen as President Trump's VP it will be hard for the Justice Department to resist prosecuting DeSantis for some of the most blatant campaign violations in modern history—either party.”

You make the case that Democrat prosecutors will go after DeSantis if he is on the ticket so Republicans should only run candidates that the Democrats have no hope of prosecuting.

Chuckle-worthy.

DeSantis actually committed crimes—intermingling the SuperPac and the campaign—in a blatant and undeniable way.

Republicans would indict and convict the guy—the case is that obvious.

You do know that, right?

First the verdict; then the trial. That is the Democrat way.

You can look at the evidence yourself.

This is a ridiculously strong case.

“This is a ridiculously strong case.”

Is it so strong that it overcomes the presumption of innocence?

“Presumption of innocence” is a technical legal term.

The guy did it—in public—all over the place—blatantly.

It is like claiming that a bank robber with no mask and twenty security cameras filming from every possible direction is “presumed innocent”.

Cut me a break.

President Trump has said, yes, DeSantis could be his vice-president.

Why would DeSantis want to be VP? You do nothing as the VP. It's the perfect job for Kamala Harris. That's my point.

Somebody like Vivek will be perfect for the job because he knows how to speak to the media. If Trump wants somebody boring but loyal, he can't go wrong with Senator Scott.

DeSantis is better off waiting. There's a good chance Trump may lose again. So the road to the White House is there for DeSantis in 2028.

Your legal case against DeSantis is growing stronger than a democrat kangaroo court.

In your post 27, it was only probable. Said you: “DeSantis ran a terrible and probably illegal campaign.”

But now, you claim it is beyond the shadow of a doubt: “The guy did it—in public—all over the place—blatantly.”

It sounds like you have been reading from state-approved Associated Press copy.

If Trump should lose in 2024, he will want to run in 2028 because . . . well, just because.

And no one else can offer any ideas on the matter.
