Yours is a perfect summation of precisely what happened.
I could see the tide turning against DeSantis when he went after Trump for things that were far beyond his control (DeSantis knew better, MAGA knew better, and it infuriated the base).
Regardless of how this ultimately plays out, I will regard Trump as the greatest President in my lifetime. He accomplished more, against unbelievable odds, than any President in recent memory while staying true to his mission. And like all giants, the ankle biters are trying everything in their power to destroy him.
Trump’s greatest achievement was pulling back the curtain and showing us just how ugly, irrational, and corrupt our institutions had become. Millions of Americans are now wide awake and nothing is putting them back to sleep.
Well said. I couldn’t have said it better.
Drop out graciously now and throw ALL your support to Trump. It’s the only way to save face at this point Ron.
If they succeed somehow in keeping him off the ballots, then maybe you could jump back in. Otherwise, you’re really toast.
Yeah, well Trump's a New Yorker, they're 'cringe-worthy' just getting out of bed in the morning.
That’s the charm of born and bred New Yorkers. They have a Rodney Dangerfield quality.
As a former NYer, I like it. It’s authentic.
"Speaking of no respect, take my wife. It's tough to stay married. My wife kisses the dog on the lips, yet she won't drink from my glass."
Damage is done, to him and to the future Republican governors chances in Florida. What fodder he has supplied to the dims here. And the conservatives who elected him have turned on him.
Nice job spamming the keywords. Desimps can’t handle the truth.
Promise me after a year of your lame Desanctus TDS BS and gaslighting that when Desanctus is crushed YOU WILL GO AWAY!!
“Believing that a majority of voters would view his accomplishments as governor of Florida as being greater than Trump’s accomplishments as president was folly on his part.”
Certainly, but he has convinced a few of the gullible on this site.
The calls to have DeSantis drop out of the race this early look a little suspicious.
What’s suspicious is why he is running and making these outrageous statements against Trump and only a handful of people on websites defending him. At this point, it’s as clear as day to anyone who is serious and honest that Ron DeSantis isn’t running to win the nomination, he’s running to sabotage President Trump.
He started to use one after he became the nominee in 2016. I remember him saying that he had to learn how to use it.
I’ve used teleprompters for some corporate video’s I’ve done. It takes a bit to get used to it. Especially when going off script and getting back on.
I couldn’t imagine being Trump’s prompter operator. Trump goes on a five minute riff then tries to get back on script.
Your analysis is spot on. Had Ron taken your approach the race would be much, much closer. If Ron had just stayed the course he could have been on the flank and if the rats used lawfare to Take Trump off the board he could be the revenge candidate and nearly unstoppable. If the rats failed Ron would have a near lock on 28. Instead he took the meeting with the GOPe when he should have told them to go see Christie
Ron is completely tone deaf.
People who currently support Trump (the vast majority of Republican likely voters) are not going to switch to Ron’s side because he attempts some failed zinger about Trump needing a teleprompter.
Doesn’t Ron realize Trump is known for his ability to speak off the cuff?
Nice try - but no one s buying it.
The Republican Party will never recover from DeSantis presidential bid!!!
Florida is screwed!!!!!!!!!
Who does that guy think he is, running for president and such.!!!!!!!!!
He must think he lives in America!!!!!!!!!?
Lighten up, lily pad.
Yep!
