Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis claimed another clean win over former President Donald Trump in a recent straw poll of self-identified conservative conference-goers who were asked who they'd like to be the 2024 presidential nominee.

The poll was taken during the Western Conservative Summit, held in Denver, Colorado, on June 3 and 4. According to its website, the summit aims to "motivate those conservative activists who are in the trenches, to convene and network together, and to educate on key issues, both equipping volunteers as well as training a new younger generation of conservatives."

All these FR accounts promoting DeSantis have join-on dates later than the FR primary wars of 2016.

Imagine that - we can't see what their preference was back during that bitter struggle.

I think you find that my comments are about putting up the best candidate TO WIN. I’m not anti-Trump, and I love his record while President. My concern is that we must win in 2024, above all else, including Trump worshiping. When I look at things objectively, including Trump’s demeanor, I think DeSantis gives us “the best” chance of winning.

DeSantis will be in a very different position by this time next year, and it won’t be favorable. The combination of bungled condo safety legislation coming out of the recent special session and 100% property insurance premium increases in the same condos is going to create an awfully big headwind for DeSantis.

The Dems and their media trolls are going to beat him over the head with it, doing their best to replace the public’s image of the guy who got the pandemic right with anecdotes of the guy who made grandma sell her condo and move into the basement with her recent college grad incel grandson.

I like DeSantis, but he’s behind the curve on this issue. Trump will be a pure play without the state-level baggage.

It won’t be long before the Trump cultists start having a hate-on for DeSantis like they have for Cruz.

Here’s one example. It’s from the Washington Examiner.

DeSantis didn’t say that. Mark Meadows said that.

I’d rather have DeSantis stay in FL and President Trump take another 4 in the WH...

THEN have DeSantis run in 2028 and take over from there

I'd go along with that. Desantis against anyone but Trump, or possible Rand Paul, would be a no-brainer.

“ Trump never would agree to be #2.”

It’s either #2 (VP) or nothing. We can’t afford to have him as president again. He consistently hires people who oppose the MAGA agenda and despise MAGA supporters. My family’s freedoms are too important for me to support Trump again as the nominee for president. We need somebody who hire pro-MAGA people, not backstabbers and fraggers.

Who took the poll? Unless I read the article too fast, it makes no mention of that.

It’s a straw poll, so you don’t know what one is, or you chose not to read the article.

Either you don't know what the phrase, "I read the article too fast" means or you chose not to read the rest of my post. Or you read my post to fast.

BTW, this was the same ranked choice, non partisan poll as last years straw poll from this organization and the vote counters in this straw poll counted DeSantis a three point (75% to 72%) ranked choice winner in both polls.

Does that sound like a "sound" beating, as the headline says, or does that sound like BS?

“ the Trump cultists”

Are they all boosted?

Trump denounced Desantis for not encouraging people to get boosted by publicly saying that he’s boosted.

Don’t imagine they won’t go after DeSantis just as hard as they did Trump.

This happens every time. We pick someone, they start digging up dirt, or inventing dirt, and in short order we’re saying darn, if only we picked someone with less baggage.

They will do this no matter who you pick. If you can find a Republican the DNC press likes you’ve already been sold out. Pick your man, and if he has the courage to face the mud storm that’s coming the least you can do is stand by him.
