“And it was all so unnecessary, because DeSantis could have positioned himself perfectly as a replacement nominee in 2024 or as the overwhelming party favorite in 2028. That’s how I see it.”
BINGO. The more I read the anti-Trump, pro-DeSantis comments on these threads, the more I am turning against DeSantis, as I feel exactly as you do, that DeSantis is the one who is dividing the Pub Party by his blatant disloyalty to the guy who “brung him to the dance”, a phrase used by Ronald Reagan.
There would be no Gov DeSantis were it not for Trump’s crucial backing when DeSantis was on the verge of losing to a socialist, deranged opponent (think Doc Oz vs. loser Fetterman, and now that depressed nutcase is now in office).
When the race between DeSantis and his opponent hung in the balance, Trump pulled DeSantis over the finish line. Unfortunately with Fetterman the anti-Trump forces against Oz (and that means so many of you anti-Trumpers on this thread) succeeded in derailing Oz and now PA and the country is stuck with Fetterman, and now you are still anti-Trump to the point of disrupting the upcoming primary. Trump could be kissing DeSantis’ derriere now and you still would be anti-Trump because you just don’t like his “style”, regardless of his great policies with few missteps.
Luckily you didn’t succeed in derailing DeSantis vs. the socialist, but here you are trying again to derail Trump this time by supporting the very man whose election to Gov of FL Trump saved. I am disgusted; and you myopic Trump trashers, along with an ungrateful and ambitious DeSantis who is backed by Deep State, RINO, Establishment, Globalist financiers and Jeb Bush, and George Soros as subterfuge, and you can’t deny that, will ruin our Party’s chances to get rid of Biden, the very man that stole the presidential election from Trump.
Trump’s MAGA supporters are never going to choose DeSantis over Trump, the core of the Party is with him, DeSantis will never win the primary, and he is diminishing his chances for 2028 by his run against Trump this time around.
Fie on all of you Trump trashers; you are a bunch of ungrateful wretches in my book, going after one of the best Presidents we have ever had, and supporting a man whose ambitions just couldn’t wait as he is sticking the stiletto in Trump’s back. DeSantis is entranced by the siren song of Rupert Murdoch/Fox News backing of him to run against Trump because they want Trump gone now as they are foreign globalists, as well as with the Deep State military establishment types who prefer Biden’s war policy re Ukraine/China rather than that of Trump. Et tu Brut? I guess it must be the Italian in DeSantis coming out to allow for such disloyalty.
I live in FL, I liked DeSantis up until now, he has been a good Governor, but he is now ruining my desire to support him in 2028 much less 2024 because he can’t contain his ambition and if he wins, he will be beholden to those financiers who do not have America’s best interests in mind by a long shot.
DeSantis also will not, were he to end up President, seek investigation of the stolen 2020 election, nor the corrupt impeachment efforts against Trump by Biden and the Dems, the countless use of prosecutors in blue states bringing up phony charges against Trump to derail his run for a second term as President, the raid on Mar-a-Lago, Trump’s home, the weaponization of the Justice Dept, FBI, CIA and other key departments of Gov’t, and the alleged Jan 6th “insurrection”. While blaming all the chaos in our country that they created on Trump. And you all fall for it. Trump creates too much chaos, DeSantis won’t, you say. Fools all, and an inability to see what the true corrupt enemy ginned up to cause that chaos. And mark my words, in due time, after they eliminate Trump if they can, they will go after DeSantis just as viciously, with tooth and tong.
Pursuing justice for Trump will not happen, will be swept under the rug, and the criminals who pursued Trump never brought to justice, because DeSantis has no skin in that game and will not pursue it. I want revenge, I want Trump to be vindicated and I want him to be my retribution.
And that thirst for revenge and vindication will sink the conservative movement. The best revenge is to elect a solid conservative who will govern effectively not a raving egoist who has become a cartoon of himself. The hatred he has engendered in all but his true believers will never allow him to win an election and will take down all who are associated with him.
Great comment!
I will give DeSantis props for something however: his response to Tucker on Ukraine was good. (Ok, he was beating the China drum louder than I’d like but as to Ukraine, he was good.)
Still, I am fully behind Trump in 2024
