I’ve been watching the Trump vs. DeSantis showdown here and have a few questions. I voted for Trump twice, worked the phones and poll watched for him and am convinced he was the only one for regular Americans. He had the right policies for us. I have two concerns. He is supposedly a germaphobe and I think that influenced his decisions regarding Covid. He also didn’t have a team behind him. Many stabbed him in the back. How would it be different if he was elected for another term?
Regarding Desantis, I watched some of his Iowa stuff and he seems to say the right things. He may even be to the right of Trump on some issues. He also seems to have a good argument about what he’s done in Florida. He doesn’t have Trump’s suburban housewife baggage (who my wife of 31 yrs asked how many times Trump’s been married - she voted for him and we’re not voting for a Pope) but I’m sure they’ll come up with something to hang on him. I know that many have said that he’s beholden to big donors.
I’m on team fight it out for the nomination, After that, I’m on team how do you fix the rig and how do you win I haven’t heard any of that from anyone.
If Trump isn’t allowed to run elections are useless and meaningless. No one would really have the MAGA vote at that point. They wouldn’t care because it will be obvious that the fix is in. Desanctimonius, not for me. In such a “2nd choice” scenario it’ll be clear that he knew about it and has been apart of the plan the whole time. Nothing would justify another civil war more than removing Trump from the ballot (not that I would expect one)
Well said!
“I fail to see why the remnants around here insist upon tearing what little unity we have over donald and RDS.”
(Ron DeSantis. The latest GOPe champion in a long list of winners. Jeb! Mitt Romney, and John McStain) — There seems to be a disconnect between the lament and the tagline.
rds is NOT RUNNING GB... NOT.
You do realize he has to win the whole country?
Very convenient that the Florida legislature is handing him all these “victories,” don’t you think?
It would almost appear that they are Never-Trumpers who are making campaign contributions in-kind.
But Uniparty politicians would never play... politics... would they?
If you can't figure that out given all efforts to destroy Trump, I don't trust you or believe you're anything but some kind of political operative.
Wow, you drank the cool-aid....in reality Desanctimonius is Romney without the sideburns. Vivek is closer to Trump than MO. So is Ksri Lake for that matter. Both of them have had non government pay checks for one. Personally, if it’s not Trump there is no replacement. May as well keep the current crook.
The Trump record is results in spite of having to deal with those Rats in GOPe clothing, Ryan and McConnell. All these politicians who are trying to primary President Trump are trying to convince us they can support the Trump agenda and produce the same results as President Trump without the verbal abuse of democrats and the media. If the Rats and the Media deserve the abuse, I say let them have both barrels President Trump. These get along politicians on our side often forget the promises they made. President Trump has a core set of values and he doesn’t give an inch on them. Politicians do, and that’s what I hate the most.
President Trump not only says the right things, he produces results. Take the border. Take energy. I like how he used tariffs to neuter China. I like how he got Mexico to buy into support for Remain in Mexico. I like how he cut off funds to get central American nations to take back their criminals. I like how President Trump was deporting MS-13. I like how he got our European “allies” to pony up funds for their own defense. I like how President Trump brokered a middle east peace accord. I like how he got our embassy in Israel moved on the cheap (after all the talk by previous “politicians”).
I do like Desantis taking on the WOKE crowd, but he needs to shed himself of the Bush team he has working for him, declare, and be subject to the same funding restrictions President Trump has.
The 2020 election was won by Chinese support for Biden. They assisted Fauci in creating COVID and unleashed it on the world to create the need for fraud-ridden voting drop boxes in the election. I believe Fauci and the Chinese working with Biden to set up the conditions for massive voter fraud that gave Biden the election. Where did that truckload of ballots hauled into Pennsylvania from Bethpage Postal Facility in New York end up? The Biden family was well rewarded by China for “winning” that fraudulent election.
Mark my words, President Trump is going after Obama’s Deep State, if he wins in 2024. And I hope all those intel folks who signed the letter about Hunter’s laptop lose their fat Government pensions. You won’t get this with a “Politician”.
What dumb arguments. If Trump decided to tank all of the Mitch picks in the general guess what? The Mitch picks would all lose. If Trump chooses to tank a competitor who beat him in the Primary....they’ll lose also. The Repukes went out of their way to try and tank all of Trump’s picks then when they lost they tried to blame Trump. Laughable. BTW, the girl who lost the Georgian Senate seat was hard picked by their Repuke Govenor...of course no one wants to bring that up. You’re a phony
Richard Nixon!
No to Hindus for head of any western nation.
Since 4/15/23, I’ve received 75 emails from Pres. Trump asking for money. I have yet to receive even 1 from Gov. DeSantis. As to DeSantis being broke, http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2023/05/04/desantis-trump-campaign-funds-2024-election/70174822007/ states that he has tens of millions of dollars more than does Trump, as of May 4th.
Both Disney and Black Rock have each given over $10M to the President. These are not friends Trump should be making or backing up as they each are far left even when it comes to protecting children from deviancy. How can God keep blessing Trump when he’s siding with evil?
I read that the Heritage Foundation is in process of assembling a reliable team for Trump when he’s elected. I wonder if Trump will go along with it.
By that statement you declare yourself. Cheating vitiates an election. Trump did not lose, America did.
No. No more than Romney is a viable second choice. If America allows Trump to be destroyed by the corrupt left voting is meaningless. I will not cooperate in giving the left the illusion of legitimacy.
When you win by the incredibly huge margin he did, you get to dictate what the state does. Period!!!!!
You are so full of your eyes are brown.
Trump employing a Heritage picked team would be a huge loss for the country, and a repetition of the staffing issues he had during his first term.
You know something about Heritage that I don’t. The thing they did that I liked was recording electoral fraud occurrences. Do you have a supportive URL?
I don’t know if what you’re saying about Disney and Blackrock giving $10M to Trump is true. A link would be nice. But regardless, the difference between donations to Trump and donations to DeSantis is that Trump doesn’t need their money. He financed most of his 2016 primary campaign from his own pocket and from small donations. He’s in a position where he can say no to any donor who tries to attach conditions to their donations. DeSantis is not.
