Likely in Response to the “Ron is God” Campaign Ad, President Trump Gives Ron DeSantis a Nickname
The Conservative Treehouse ^ | 11-5-22 | Sundance

Posted on 11/05/2022 8:58:42 PM PDT by SeafoodGumbo

During a Pennsylvania MAGA rally tonight, President Trump went through the republican polling for the 2024 nomination contest.

When it came to the second-place polling finisher, President Trump gave the Florida governor a new nickname, “Ron DeSanctimonious.” LOL

Many people were caught off guard by the rather humous slight, aka a shot across the bow as subtle as a brick through a window; however, it’s likely President Trump was responding to the latest, well, rather cringy campaign ad from the Florida governor’s campaign, “Ron is God.”

$200 million in Wall Street and corporate donations buys a lot of hubris. Add that money to the echo-chambered DeSantis campaign branding group, mix in a few detached billionaires amid the cocktail circuit, and what you get is a cringeworthy ad in the same theme as the Ted Cruz campaign in 2016. The similarities are not coincidental.

“Ron DeSanctimonious” it’s funny, because like all the best nicknames, the truth within it just sticks.

How about DeSantis/Lake 2028? Kind of catchy phrase. Would put her next in line.

I just commented on another thread that Ron DeSantis is overly ambitious like Ted Cruz. I don’t trust him because it looks like he’s selling himself to the establishment. Which means if he got into the oval office he would be controlled by a bunch of billionaire donors.

Sometimes the obvious has to be pointed out. More than once on FR. 😉

“How about DeSantis/Lake 2028?”

That works for me. A lot can happen in six years — both good and bad.

GOPe, Grand Old Party elite. The GOP “betters”, better than you or me. The Haaaavaaaad educated experts with vast experience of being the loyal opposition and democrat enablers. The ones who’ve never missed an opportunity to suck up to the Washington power structure and shun the smelly Walmart people. The ones who... well you get the idea: they are the ‘us’ to our ‘them’...

Obviously, you know nothing about Rush. That was always said ‘tongue in cheek’.

I listened to Rush for many years. Why don't you prove your assertion instead of resorting to a personal attack?

Only reason I can think of Trump to attack DeSantis is because he feels threatened by him.

Unless RD attacked him first, and there’s evidence that he did.

I know. That’s how we lost the GA Senate seats.

He attacks anyone who he perceives as disobedient to him, regardless of their political persuasion.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Disobedient? Hardly. He goes on offense whenever he believes he’s been betrayed or publicly criticized, and that’s one of the major reasons Trumpers like him.

I agree that the “Ron is God” title of his post is hyperbolic and exaggerated, but still think the ad is quite bad. I think the “eighth day” thing is what makes it especially cringe-worthy. The main problem is that DeSantis is now being managed by GOPe cretins who don’t have MAGA or America’s best interest at heart.

Of course if DeSantis hits back, Sundance will be crying like a b*tch.

Here's a nickname for Ron DeSantis I kinda like. "Re-elected".

Ouch. That hurts. Too soon?

Vote for him or not - I voted for him twice - but you have to admit that this was not only destructive and distracting...occurring three days before the election.

De Santis is running for state governor, and Trump isn’t running for anything. Trump didn’t need to say a word.

I think Trump has a case of DeSantis Derangement Syndrome.

And I think “Always Trumpers” (”My Trump Right or Wrong”) folks are as bad as “Never Trumpers.”

Politicians are just that: politicians. Often they make mistakes, but some of them learn from these mistakes and try not to repeat them.

Trump cost himself a lot of support in 2020 with his stupid, nasty personal remarks against other GOPers in his prior campaigns and even when he was President. That’s why they weren’t there for him when he really needed them. The one Trump has really hurt with this slap at DeSantis is Trump himself

for weeks people on FR have been saying there is NO Rift, and this is a fake news, don’t be taken in by the MSM bait. so Trump came out and made this comment would probably prove either MSM was right all along or MSM was lying and Trump took the bait?

the only person that is running for anything right NOW officially is Ron, and I wish him best of luck. when 2024 comes, we will see who’s running and support that person we think is the best

OR perhaps there is a pattern of sanctimonious behavior …. Lyin Ryan is no tool to win a presidential election.. even via the foxes.

He's insulting a fellow conservative who hasn't publicly criticized Trump in any way - a guy who's running for re-election this year while Trump isn't running for anything yet. It's absolutely needless.

Well said. That was always one of the best things about Trump - he didn’t owe the establishment. DeSantis starting to get tight with the Paul Ryans of the world should give any conservative some concerns.

That ad is awful. Just proves that DeSantes is deep state mini-Trump. He is a caricature of how Deep State views Republicans.
