“Pretty much my entire circle of friends have been rabid Trump supporters since he came down the escalator. None of them are now.”

Pretty much my entire circle of friends have been rabid Trump supporters since he came down the escalator. All of them are now, more than ever.

Incidentally, the “none” you used reveals you to be a liar.

Honestly, I don’t even think they care who wins the presidency as long as it’s not Trump.

Maybe they're rallying behind someone with a record of winning elections?

I can’t believe that people still think we have real elections. It is a joke that the GOP is happy to go along with.

Desantis has done a great job in Florida.
But he has not announced a run for President.
We will see if and when he announces.

I’m looking elsewhere after supporting Trump twice because he has moved the party left, too left for me.

Yes. Ending Roe v Wade is something only a extreme hard leftist could do!

Gas lighting is so yesterday, this kind as well as the kerosene variety.

You really think the voters “rejected” Trump candidates? We were out-balloted, NOT out-voted. Huge difference.

Just because some politicians don’t care for Trump doesn’t discount true conservative creds.

I see you bloviating - So step right up and DEFINE "true conservative".

IMO the November 5, 2024 isn’t about electing Trump/Biden. It is about electing the first Female President of the USA.

“President Joe Biden announced his intention to run for reelection in 2024, with Vice President Kamala Harris joining him on the ticket once again.”

WHAT DOES THIS INDICATE FOR THE USA?

..A female President two years and one day the inauguration.
President Biden resigns and VP Harris becomes President Harris.
Then President Harris can legally serve 10 year minus one day
if she can be elected twice.

Ron DeSantis is a solid conservative.

Trump has more in common with Mitt Romney. They both have gun bans under their signatures.

Seriously, it happened after he was out of office. His SCOTUS pics helped, but he did not do it. More recently he said the pro-lifers cost the mid-term elections. https://angelusnews.com/news/life-family/pro-life-leaders-react-to-abortion-being-blamed-for-gop-midterm-failures/

Thank you for correcting my misspelling of Ron’s last name in your post. I respectfully disagree with you about his political position... I think DeSantis is a phoney.

Well it used to mean pro-life, pro-family, small government, fiscally conservative, anti-LGBTQ agenda. It didn’t mean big spending, partying with the likes of Santos at New years or hosting LGBTQ parties at mar-a-lago or blaming pro-lifers for the mid-term losses. It did not mean EO-ing WEF Agenda or tearing down conservatives instead of democrats. Why do you care, I already said if he wins the nom I’ll pull the lever.

DeSantis will likely emerge as the RINO supported candidate, and he also will be stabbed in the back.

We have been here before. Trump knows how to handle the RINOs now.....DeSantis apparently does not.

TRump already has a national organization. DeSantis does not and therefore must rely on RINOization, which will be his downfall if he wins the nomination. THe lefty Dems know this too, they desperately want DeSantis to run because the RINOs will be able to mold him.

The smart money is on Trump and will remain with TRump

I agree with you. They fear DJT and they know how effective it is to split the party by advocating for 2 different conservatives. DeSantis needs to come out and say he’s not running. He will be a force to be reckoned with in 2028 but he’ll be practically powerless if he plays the deep state’s game and throws his hat in the ring for 2024
