Ron DeSantis' Supporters Send a Warning to Donald Trump
newsweek ^ | Jan 22, 2024 | Katherine Fung

Supporters of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis' now suspended campaign are sending a warning to Donald Trump, threatening to withhold their votes from him should he win the GOP nomination this summer.

A number of DeSantis backers expressed their frustrations with Trump supporters, whom they tangled with during the nomination race, and signaled that they could be holding a grudge that has the potential to cost the GOP the general election.

Another pro-DeSantis account, @KaladinFree, warned Trump supporters that their candidate of choice "can't afford to lose ANY" DeSantis fans. It said that if Trump lost the 2020 election, presumably with the support of all the voters who backed DeSantis this time around, there is no way for Trump can win the 2024 race with only some of those voters.

"I'm done with Trump. Yes, DeSantis was the superior choice, but now we are stuck with this trash," another X user wrote. "Do NOT donate to the RNC or to Trump's campaign, 80% of your $ will go to his legal bills, nothing left for house/senate seats. Donate locally. We must keep the House."

What needs to happen, is a Cruzbot-style mass zotting, a Tedlimstallnacht. But you guys never amounted to much in numbers or persuasion...

Still, bEagle's gone, so step up to the plate, droop.

We just had DeSantis submit a perfectly-acceptable audition tape for TrumpII's Secretary of Education, and instead of appreciating your man willing to beg for dogcatcher, you bitch and moan.

Ron could sit there in one of the nicer Cabinet offices in DC, and then pick off the next Florida Senate seat to come open, but people like you are determined to put off people like me forever on Ron, and I've broken Ron's tiny White Boot Brigade here on Free Republic nearly single-handedly. Without much effort, btw...

You Ronlims are so easy, so greasy...it's like I've said from the beginning -- if Ron is to be measured by his supporters, he's f'd -- but hey, you do you, even if that means you fold your ballot eight ways and cram it lofl...

DeSantis urges public to get vaccinated: These shots are ‘saving lives’

"Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) is urging Floridians to get vaccinated against the coronavirus, saying that the shots are “saving lives.”

In a press conference on Wednesday, DeSantis told reporters that 95% of the people being admitted to hospitals in the state due to COVID-19 complications haven’t been vaccinated at all, implying that “vaccines are saving lives,” especially with regard to nursing homes.

“If you look at the people that are being admitted to hospitals …. over 95% of them are either not fully vaccinated or not vaccinated at all,” DeSantis said. “These vaccines are saving lives. They are reducing mortality.”

DeSantis also said that people who are vaccinated will not experience the current wave of new COVID-19 cases in the state, saying that he gets a “little bit frustrated” over jurisdictions in the state still enforcing mask mandates, arguing that those jurisdictions are implying that the vaccines don’t work.

“It’s telling them that the vaccines don’t work. I think that’s the worst message you can send to people at this time because I think that the data has been really, really good in terms of preserving people …. saving people’s lives … reducing mortality dramatically,” DeSantis said."

Who lost 40% and why?

I know inflation is up, but so are my retirement accounts.

Press conferences at the links.

Thread – How Donald Trump shut down America: Reexamining Trump’s role in the response to COVID Trump knew lockdown was a lie. He did it anyway.

On March 13, 2020, Trump began announcing initial lockdown measures. “This is why I outlined…my administration’s, the fact we’ve issued a requirement suspending all medically unnecessary visits to various places, but particular nursing homes.”

March 15, 2020: VP Mike Pence explains that the decision to advise lockdowns belongs solely with Trump. “Everything that the White House Coronavirus Task Force does is at the direction of the President… We’re considering everything and everything.”

March 16, 2020: Anthony Fauci, Deborah Birx, and Donald Trump smile as they announce “15 Days to Slow the Spread”—arguably the most destructive domestic policy ever implemented in the United States.

March 27, 2020: Trump defends school closures. “Some of them are very happy not to go to school… They should just sit back and be very proud of our country because we’re doing it for them.”

Shall I go on?

Stop gaslighting me.

I know what happened. I watched it happen. Trump was in charge.

Did you hear something?
I didn’t hear anything.

It’s a free country. Vote how you please, but shut up about it.

the desantis supporting nevertrumpers say stuff here...

So, why shut up about it?

You want Trump to appease blackmailers, and become some sort of rino?

Many here do, apparently, because they feel it might turn of his supporters, so he loses the general election...

Are you one of them?

“Mainstream Media Disinformation.”

Nope. They’re here on this forum. They’ve told us they’re not voting for Trump.

You quoted 6 Twattor links from a handle with literally the name "sperg" in it.

What would be hilarious if you were actually this guy and trying to pimp your book.

What would be off-the-hook LOFL hilarious is if you weren't this "sperg" and actually believe anything this guy says.

Anyone who suffers as badly as you do from COVID living in your head 24/7/365 should consider getting some rest. You need rest.

Every one of those links is video of Trump speaking at a press conference.

I went straight to rubbing their annoying faces in it because I am a sore winner.

I think it was worse being a Cruz supporter in '16.

Anyways, I apologize.

If COVID was so bad at 0.027%, why are you still typing? You're just a stupid, simple, silly Ronlim bitch.

The mass Tedlim banning happened over 10 days in 2016. bEagle's gone 4 days now, who's next?

LOL! So that's the new plan?

Democrats aren't going to talk about COVID at all. Trumpers are going to tell us COVID wasn't really all that bad (when you all aren't blaming Ron DeSantis for it).

And look! Here's Trump only yesterday running around, bragging on what a great job he did during COVID!

No accountability...

"The one thing I have never been credit for is the job we did on covid."

They’re warning Trump? I’m sure he’s shaking in his boots.

DeSantis was no different than most other governors. FL was locked down. Beaches were closed. He tries to change the narrative once in a while and lie about it, but he did lockdowns.
