‘Single-Digit Midget’ DeSantis Collapses Into 4th in New Hampshire
The National Pulse ^ | 08/26/2023 | JACK MONTGOMERY

Posted on 08/28/2023 6:37:40 AM PDT by SoConPubbie

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has fallen behind both Chris Christie and Vivek Ramaswamy in the early GOP battleground state of New Hampshire, dropping to just 9 percent of the vote as former President Donald Trump continues to dominate the field.

A poll by Echelon Insights, quizzing 800 likely Republican Primary Voters, puts Chris Christie in second at 14 percent. Previously little-known Ohio businessman Vivek Ramaswamy is also in double digits at 11 percent – putting him in third place. Senator Tim Scott (R-S.C.) is polling at 7 percent, just two points behind the Florida Governor.

Donald Trump stands at 34 percent in the Granite State.

Interestingly, New Hampshire voters listed “political corruption” as their number one issue, with the cost of living in second, jobs and the economy in third, immigration in fourth, and national security fifth.

The DeSantis campaign continues to slump in both state and national polling while bleeding cash – despite multiple attempts to reboot the campaign. Seemingly unable to gain traction in the polls or raise campaign cash, DeSantis have increasingly become reliant on support from the Never Back Down SuperPAC which The National Pulse has exposed for being a hive of Never Trumpers and actual Democrats. The Echelon Insights poll is just the latest to show DeSantis being overtaken by Ramaswamy.

Chris Christie isn’t even running to win. His sole purpose is to attack Trump.

Great let's demean Desantis, celebrate his fall. Then when Trump is in jail we will be forced to choose between Christie (or unknown Ramaswamy) and Biden. That will be a win-win for deep state.

While I agree that demeaning DeSantis, especially at this point isn't product, I believe that if Trump is in jail, and we are "forced" to choose somebody else, then our great experiment, this constitutional republic is finished.

The Deep State will have proven that it is they who choose our candidates.

Lots of opportunities for RINO favorites to rise and fall before the primary. NH voters are notorious mind-changers during this phase.

I’ll vote for Trump even if he is in prison.

From the outside looking in, it seems the GOP does not recognize that they no longer have a party.

How can this be? All the experts on TV said that DeSantis won the first debate.

The reason why some of US will never support DEE-Saintis is because he expects to take President Trump's place.. soaring like a turkey buzzard like he has been promised a jail sentence .. you just verbalized what is expected..

DeSantis was a big hopeful. He’s a good executive and governor.

However his campaign has been surprisingly poor. He’d make a good president but it doesn’t matter if he can’t get there.

This is why we have primaries.

I don’t get it.

I also like DeSantis, but I think there are many, including myself, that thought he should let Trump get another shot at the White House.

Also, I think that DeSantis has gotten some really bad advice. It's seems as though he came out swinging against Trump in an effort to woo some of his supporters, but I think that isn't really possible. On the other hand, Ramaswamy has positioned himself as a sort of ally of Trump, in effect campaigning as the 2nd choice of primary voters.

This tired line agin? Desantis is in no way deep state. I’ve posted so many examples of why Desantis is a true conservative.

Yet this line is said on FR so much it somehow seems to be taken for granted as truth, well it’s not.

Here are some my arguments before:
————————————————————————===————=—-
I’ve even made lists of sources that show Desantis is a real conservative and not deep state. It seems to have no effect on the Desantis hater..it’s like their simmering rage makes them have armor that deflects any other thought.

Like a red eyed angry bull…inflamed with nothing else on its mind but to gore its target.

Here is one of my longer lists I made…to absolutely zero effect on the recipient:
————————————————————————————————————-
Guess who else hates Desantis besides you and similar?

Leftist news magazines. Thank about that…maybe just maybe you are reading things wrong.

https://apnews.com/article/desantis-laws-2024-president-election-abortion-florida-668ae3101e3d7d7f61dd9925b419ee6e

But that apparently has as much impact on you as rain on a ducks back. I say that because I have you a whole list of strongly conservative actions a week or 2 ago:

Funny how a large group here are convinced Desantis is Soros reincarnate, Devil Spawn and deeper than deep state.

Yet the far left deep state magazines seem to have missed the memo as they hate him as well.

Odd…

Go Desantis 2024—Go Trump 2024. (fine with either)

———————————————————
On a leftist article attacking Desantis:

oenix8
Desantis tries to contain CRT being jammed down the throats of children (“de-emphasize racism in the state’s public education curricula”) just like woke trans ideology and The Guardian basically labels him a slaver.
Amazing to me how solidly left rags like The Guardian, which want nothing more than leftists to an achieve total victory, have so many Republican/conservative Allies these days when it comes to Desantis.“

————————————————
“ Let’s compare EVIL, DEEP STATE Desantis to the rest:

Pelos—cool 114 MILLION Dollars, not bad for a salary of under 200k a year Schumer—70 million
Feinstein—100 million
Mitch M—35 million
Sleepy Joe—8 million
Even Bernie Sanders, an admitted socialist 3 million

Now DEEP STATE DESANTIS—- 1.7 million…… wait….what????

Desantis actually recently made a cool 1 million dollars on his recent book, that means before that he had a value of ..get this a STAGGERING SOROS and BILL GATES LIKE WEALTH OF 700,000 dollars. Now I’d like to have 700 grand in my bank but considering his salary is 150,000 a year that seems about right for a thrifty and smart guy.”

——————————————————-

Mexican leftist’s potus says don’t vote for Desantis
“ Wait. I thought Desantis was a 20+ year plant for the deep state and secretly the wife of George Soros? 🤣

He sure is effective at acting conservative; fighting woke Disney, child grooming, anti-trans, pro 2nd amendment, and immigration control.

I’m not anti-Trump. I have a team and Trump was the older star but now there is a new rising talent. Such is the human state. If he gets the nom I will be one of the first in line to vote for him.

——————————————
‘Yet more examples of far leftist deep staters hating on Desantis:

“ Just look at the article, NEW REPUBLIC. A solidly anti-conservative publication.

It’s says “ Ron DeSantis is taking his idiotic “war on woke” to new, extremist levels.”. It’s clear they HATE Desantis.

So Desantis Freeper haters explain that. Oh it’s like this? 3 dimensional chess? From the democrats that are so stupid they think boys are girls and their leader shits his pants in front of the Pope?:

They Installed Desantis as a secret puppet of the left. He has been acting conservative for decades…fighting woke leftists all as a cover?
Left media, leaders have all been acting like they hate him as part of the ruse when they love him and are doing all this to get Trump?
New Repulic actually loves Desantis but acts like they hate him….LOL🤣.

PS
I guess the ROLLING STONE is in on the 3-d chess Ruse as well, they really love Desantis? They just accuse him of being with Nazis to keep you from voting for Trump. (didnt they say the same thing about Trump?)

https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/ron-desantis-neo-nazi-turning-point-usa-florida-conference-1388015/

The view is faking hating Desantis as well…

https://dailycaller.com/2023/05/30/view-hosts-boast-about-how-woke-they-are-in-dig-at-desantis-im-proud-of-it/

Some Freeper Desnatis haters use the claim Soros supported him in a speech…except that’s fake news:

https://twitter.com/GavinWax/status/1668771381432012800

I could share more articles but I don’t think it’s an issue of what’s reality or not here, this is all emotions.”

—————————————————————-
More on Desantis fighting woke education:

The hatred here for Desantis is beyond logic or fact.

Hey haters did you here what your described Soros lover , deep state, secret communist did today?

Only called for the dismantling of the department of education if elected.
Yep that Desantis definitely a secret communist, deep stater there. 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

They are simply plants or people caught up in the pro trump cancel culture. Either way they are doing the bidding of the deep state; eliminating someone with a track record of fighting woke inc, the feds, and global capital groups

“ Yep, I don’t understand why so many of our fellow Freepers, hate DeSantis.”

It’s not because of his policies. His haters love his policies. It’s because he is a backstabbing disloyal traitor. Trump made him a somebody from a complete nobody. During the governor’s election his campaign was all but over and he was certain to lose to his opponent. Then Trump campaigned for him and he moved up in the polls and won. He shows his gratitude by aligning with the GOP establishment to take Trump out. That’s why he is hated.

Notice everyone is ignoring the very obvious possibility Trump maybe UNABLE to run. If he is in jail.

Notice that you're not noticing that the smell of bananas surrounds you.

If your political opponent is dictating who your candidate(s) are, you live in a stinking banana republic.

A dictatorship.

DeSantis announced his run AFTER the Durham Report..

After the govt speak report came out that said essentially ‘govt was weaponized against Trump’ since 2015..

And govt hasn’t let up in its ‘Get Trump’ goal..

His timing was terrible. But that’s because stolen elections have consequences..

2024 was the time to run. No Trump.
Oops
Trump’s still around because of a stolen election..

I honestly don’t understand this do or die mentality.

You lack the insight and historical context of what is happening. This is ballgame time. Stay out if it and let patriots and adults handle this. Keep quiet and watch.

I’ll vote for Trump even if he is in prison. I will NOT be forced to vote for anyone. I will not give up. I will not comply. I am in rebellion against this evil, corrupt regime. That is my solemn promise as a Free American.

DeSantis was a big hopeful. He’s a good executive and governor.

I used to think Gen. John B. Hood was the perfect example of the Peter Principle. Now I use DeSantimonious as a perfect example.
