Saw DeSantis speak in Houston last night

Buddy of mine bought a table for the Lincoln Reagan Dinner at the George R. Brown convention center. I almost blew it off as I'm so sick of FNC giving RD airtime and banning DJT, but decided to do a little due diligence.

He spoke for 30 minutes without a teleprompter. Good delivery, lots of red meat, pretty fired up. Crowd of 800 or so pretty laid back. Lots of pretty GOP women I have to say.

Not a single mention of Ukraine, which I see as the defining difference between RD and DJT. Ron's going to fall in line with Mitch and lose to PDJT in spectacular fashion in the primaries. But he'll end up as Trump's VP.

Just my humble opinion.

No, I lost interest in hearing any more from Bannon yesterday after his stumping for Grenell for Secretary of State during his rally there. According to some articles posted today, apparently he mostly attacked Fox News, who notably avoided the conference this year. It’s a shame how everything is falling apart, but when part of the party starts embracing sodomy as Trump and his team are, not to mention the accusations of gay assault on the current president of CPAC, it’s turning into a dumpster fire.

There isn't a posting on this site that you can't dig deep enough to find something that buttresses your Trump hate. If it isn't there in plain site you will invent something. Your hate is consuming you. It's a joy to watch eGOP heads popping. Trump or bust.

DeSantis has no reason to take a position on foreign policy at this point.

Most candidates wait and then make a special foreign policy speech later.

DeSantis has not officially announced and can play this out.

Of course I don’t want those flags flying on our embassies! I’m sure Grenell thinks that’s stupid, just like you do.

But you write off Grenell BECAUSE he’s gay? Do you know nothing about how he looks at the world?

Now ButtPlug is worth hating because of his gayness. But not Grenell.

Hey I just don’t want a gay Secretary of State, or gay flags flying on all our embassies. If that’s what you support, then let’s debate it, and drop the personal insults. C’mon blackbird, show us what you got.

“Florida has too many electoral votes to try this trick.”

Yeah I know some things have to happen for a Trump/RD ticket to materialize. Trump could easily change his residence back to NY if he wanted to.

Speaking of RD, he still has to get the FL legislature to change the law requiring him to step down as Gov if he jumps into the ring - and that would come at a great political cost to him I believe.

“DeSantis has no reason to take a position on foreign policy at this point.”

Agreed. But I have a sneaking suspicion that he will end up on the pro-war side. He can delay, but he will side with McConnell. War is good.

Maybe, but Trump was previously opposed to gay marriage, which he recently threw a celebration at Mar-a-Lago for. And this picture was from before that.

OK you win. Gay is bad. No matter what. OK.

What’s your problem with Grenell? That he’s gay?
He’s on our side man. A MAGA patriot.

Too say nothing of Grenell being an intelligent and effective operator.

Let's add one more thing: most of us alpha males with decades of life experience working with mentally stable and capable men in extremely challenging environments understand that being gay is sometimes the result of genetic irregularities - that they are born with a handicap and being gay does not impact the quality of their work.

“pretty fired up. Crowd of 800”

Not quite the 30,000 at a Trump rally . . .?

Don’t do it.
Tallahassee Ron needs to see the rotten swamp behind him.
If not, his political future will be ended with a disastrous POTUS run.

It’s for our PDJT the GOAT, if he wants it.

Roll MAGA, roll!

It’s not something that needs to be promoted. Having a gay Secretary of State is a horrible idea.

You're a rabid eGOP fool. It serves no interest even to attempt to debate your hating self. I never debated TexasGator for the very same reason. Trump or bust.

You think you can score by putting words in my mouth? Take a hike, fool.

“...baiting the Rats and the Fake News”

That’s my theory, and my hope. All my buddies think I’m crazy though. But they thought I was crazy in ‘16 when I bet them all Trump would win. Nice collecting $100 bills from them.

I need to disengage with this guy. He’s ruining my thread.
