I mean: why is the National Review writing a story that criticizes Ron DeSantis. That didn't make sense.
But a few paragraphs in, I understood the argument. Essentially the author is lightly slapping DeSantis on the wrist for bringing up the issue of 2020 Election Fraud -- and he argues DeSantis can win if he merely resets the time clock to today: 2023... and leaves the past to history. So the story is a net positive message for DeSantis. And that's why DeSantis' FR supporters are cheerleading this thread.
Trouble is: the author gets his premise wrong. From the beginning of his campaign, DeSantis has been AVOIDING the topic of 2020 election fraud. Even his pre-campaign book fails to address the 2020 election fraud issue adequately.
Only recently, when the curiosity of voters and the media FORCED DeSantis to clarify his stance on 2020 election fraud did we learn DeSantis believes election fraud in 2020 is NOT a serious issue -- which, of course, is the opposite of what the vast majority of MAGA voters believe.
Bottom line: DeSantis can't get elected by whistling past the 2020 election fraud graveyard. This is a crucial issue for MAGA voters. And if you can't attract MAGA voters, you can't win the Republican primary.
They just don’t get it. None of them do. Not National Review, RINOs in Congress and the many more in the state Congresses and Governors mansions. They all think that they have the answers. What they don’t realize is that no one believes their BS anymore.
Yes, someone like Kemp is re-elected. “Wins” the primary in a landslide. Ask many folks why. Because of how he handled covid. That’s all they can tell you. How is he looked at now? Now that some of his dirty deals are common knowledge? Not good.
The people that these clowns overlook and take for granted see in Pres Trump, someone that actually looked out for them. Someone that did something about making gas cheaper, securing the border, more job opportunities with better pay. Someone that didn’t speak like a crooked politician and mumble the same ol’...I want to work across the aisle and help America. People on the Right know that the Left would burn it all down for a win.
And there isn’t one other person running for the Republican nomination that can say that.
DeSantis...on another thread, someone talked about the Conservative battles that he’s won.
Can any of supporters give me an example or two of the battles that he’s won?
