I like DeSantis just fine.
But I see stuff like this as a “Don’t throw me in the briar patch” story. Telling people that the Left fears DeSantis just seems like a subtle way of saying “Please don’t support Trump”.
But I do support Trump.
Exactly...
...LEFT wants someone whom they (the left) can easily defeat, and that is DeSantis.
TRUMP 2024
They probably see DeSantis as more of a politician and someone they can bend to the left. I would vote for either. No matter which one, it doesn’t make much difference. If a republican makes it to the WH, the Chicken Little leftist media will pummel him on a daily basis no matter who they are and no matter the good they do for the country.
No doubt the Marxist-socialist left are working overtime to pit maw against paw in an effort to stop Trump. But I think/hope DeSantis and Trump are smart enough not to fall for it.
I feel the same way. I have liked some of Lifson’s work over the years, but he has had a few lately that have taken the shine off.
Things like this.
I think DeSantis should be the VP. I know it has been deemed the most useless government position, but it doesn’t have to be that way. A truly conservative DeSantis could be, for all intents and purposes, the Executive Branch equivalent of an XO in a military unit. He has a great record, and I have no doubt, could be loyal. Then, if they are elected in a fair election, after Trump serves his term, DeSantis could run.
DeSantis comes across as a principled conservative. I like him. But we need a wrecking ball in the White House.
A Wrecking Ball for the Deep State. And Trump is that Wrecking Ball. And as much as he has suffered at its hands, if anyone has the temperament and reason to smash it, it would be him.
You know that. I know that. The Left CLEARLY knows that. The denizens of The Deep State know that.
And Lifson knows that. He just doesn’t like it.
That said, we NEED that. We have to find a way to take down that putrid, hydra-headed beast we now call The Deep State. It exists.
This country may already be too far gone to help it, and if this current administration gets enough of its dastardly agenda pushed into place in the next three years, that will definitely be the case.
Our only chance is to get back the House and Senate. If we don’t, we can kiss our Republic good bye.
Dems “compassion” is like their ancestral slave traders being “compassionate” by “rescuing” Africans through slavery. Ridiculous! Covid should have taught every nation to protect its vital national needs and not to be overly dependent. Energy independence is critical. Supply chain disruptions should be over but they are not. Inflation is here. Russia is on the move, China is eyeing Taiwan, etc. Trump kept Putin and the rest contained. Trump demanded our Allies pay their fair share. Trump knew we can’t and shouldn’t police the world but the West can protect itself. He understood that strength and skin in the game is good for peace and for business. It’s just like his domestic economic policies were not sectarian vote grabs. He understood creating more winners, creating more wealth meant a stronger and healthier America.
I am not one for conspiracy but I am not above asking the question whether covid could’ve been deliberate to undermine the West so China and her allies could make their moves. If there’s anything we know about those regimes, we know they don’t care if millions die as long as their agenda moves forward.
We’re in an unfortunate situation for 2024 because we lack an inspiring candidate that can challenge Trump which we need because it looks certain Trump is not going to do the things needed to win. He must rehabilitate him image which requires moving on from 2020 and understanding that you fight smart, on your terms and your timetable, and not be so quick to overreact. I fear he’ll never accept the part he played in his re-election defeat. We cannot afford, the world cannot afford, more Democrats in power. Unfortunately 2024 may be too little too late even if it’s Trump/Desantis or whoever.
