Political launch of desantis on twitter a disaster.... Does it portend what desantis future will be?
Vanity

Posted on 05/24/2023 3:28:11 PM PDT by backpacker_c

The twitter launch of desantis' political run for president is currently a disaster.

Thousands wait on the twitter, plagued with streaming and connection errors, as twitter engineers attempt to fix problems, and actually start any kind of presentation.

It's 25 minutes past the time the event was to begin, and they still have not actually begun.

Trump’s positions on those issues have not changed. If you want to argue that DeSantis is more conservative than Trump on abortion, that’s fine. Maybe he is. But that doesn’t mean Trump has moved left on the issue.

Trump’s SCOTUS picks has given the power back to the states on abortion. That’s his major achievement on the issue and, as he puts it, it has leveled the playing field, allowing any future legislation on the issue, whether federal, state, or local, to be decided on an even footing and not giving pro-abortionists an advantage right out of the gate.

As far as Gun Control and groomers, there’s no basis on which to claim DeSantis is stronger on those issues than Trump. And don’t bring up Disney as a counter example. Trump never sided with Disney as far as their criticism of the “Don’t say gay” bill. He criticized DeSantis’s response to that criticism for being poorly thought through and being designed more for optics than anything else.

The Feds are investigating it, and have already subpoena’d several of Trump’s team members about it, including Stephen Miller. You really aren’t aware, hmm. I learned about it back in 2021 when people were debating here on FR whether Trump would actually spend the money on election security, or not.

Unfortunately, those that argued he would use the money for other purposes have turned out to be right. My understanding what’s left of that money is the majority of the money Trump has left in his campaign funds now.

"Yes, he is taking Disney's side just to oppose DeSantis."

I've been reading some articles. From what I have read of Trump's comments, he never verbalized support for Disney. He said that DeSantis's feud with Disney could possibly destroy the economy of the State, and he has a right to say that. That's not taking Disney's side in the argument.

“Trump has to flip several states back to his side. I agree with Ms Lake who is promoting near the hell out of them with ballot harvesting.”

You contradict yourself. Lake says the elections were stolen, not that Trump failed to carry them.

The number crunchers say that even with all that corrupt balloting, Trump only failed by a combined 20,000 votes in the five battleground states, due to the electoral college.

I can tell you when he flips states back when you can tell me how you know that the states in question need to be flipped back.

If you can go by the polls, all the polls say that a huge number of people would have voted for Trump if the FBI had not hidden the Biden tapes. It the Deep State rolls out the same effort next year, Trump is the only Republican who can win. He has demonstrated that twice.

You DeSantis people refuse to acknowledge, and I have tried more than once, that Trump received the most votes of any incumbent president in the nation’s history. So how can you reconcile that with the dogmatic statements you seem to pull out of your ass.

He was using it to come at DeSantis. I understand why people are leery of DeSantis, after Trump was the only non- Globalist in 2016. But DeSantis just made controlling the border and stopping central bank currency 2 huge planks in his platform. Cbc is THE biggest globalist plan.

desantis is deliberately breaking FEC regulations and mcain-feingold, in converting his campaign donations in his friends of ron desantis pac, to use in his federal campaign.

Shouldn't he be fined and prevented from using his $85-100 million?

There is some basis, as Trumpvwas willing to compromise on an Assult Wepons ban.

RIP Sheldon Adelson. It seems obvious Trump isn’t going to have nearly enough money to run a campaign in a general election against a well financed Democrat.

Well, I’m sure the Feds will find someone, along with Trump to sue or hold accountable. That seems to be standard practice these days. Between tax returns, bank accounts, Trump organization, inauguration funds, mortgage loans, international phone calls, rallies, private non-disclosure agreements, 28 year old rape allegations, saying bad things about a whack job, now this, no wonder they have no time to investigate the treason committed by Obama and his Federal agencies, or the Clinton and Biden crime families.

The Central Bank Currency is the biggest globalist evil plan. DeDantis just made opposition to it one of the key planks of his platform.

The homo agenda and mass dna modifying injections, both of which Trump supports and DeSantis opposes, are two of the other major WEF/globalists plans. Trump has also recently endorsed the WEF 15 minute city concept, and has long supported other WEF agenda items like 5G, AI, and GMO foods. He and his daughter are both card carrying members of the WEF and Trump has spoken there several times, and glowingly of Klaus Schwab.

ALL of this is easily verifiable with quick simple searches of the internet, but typically many of his supporters will immediately deny any of it is true without even checking to find out.

Nothing about voter fraud? To me that is one of the biggest threats to this country, next to the open border, and China. If you don't get rid of voter fraud, the rest of your campaign plank doesn't matter. You won't get elected. It's not that you won't get votes, you'll just never be allowed to get enough votes.

No Ballots mean the most. But this notion that DrSantis is a globalist tool drives me crazy. But the GOP Canidate MUST Ballot harvest.
