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."

“And stop saying he’ll carry out Trump policies. He won’t. Come on! You know he won’t. lol”

The facts say otherwise. You obviously haven’t looked at his record !!!

I have looked at his record. I read stuff about him and his posts on social media every day. Again, you don’t have to care what I say. I’m not exactly influential. A lot of people really hate my guts and think I’m wrong about everything. It’s just my opinion.

They are trying their hardest push DeSantis to run. I think it’s a two fer or three fer. Republican infighting, still a bad case of TDS and get DeSantis out of Florida.

Maybe you’re right, and I’ll be in line to vote for him Nov 2024. My point is straight forward. My highest priority is to win, or the country is gone. I just don’t think that Trump would be the best candidate to win for all the reasons I have pointed out.

I’m not saying that Trump didn’t do a lot of good things as President.....he did. What I’ve been discussing is who gives us the best chance of winning in 2024.

You know, I started to think a little while ago: If I was a “GOP” like M1tt or J3b, what would I want to happen in 2024 - in the sure knowledge that if I were to run for anything but city council, I would lose, and so I’m basically trying to be a spoiler for the GOP. And then there’s the payoff when the Democrats win!!! KA-CHING!!!!

Anyway, What Would Mitt Romney Want in 2024?

He would want the top two GOP to have a messy, bloody, possibly litigious brawl during the primaries, while he sat back smirking and waiting for payday.

If the focus isn’t on electoral fraud and having a fair election in 2024, there’s a fair chance that neither nominee will win.

I really don’t think that treating it as a boxing match and OH SO EXCITING? WHO WILL WIN? is going to result in a win for the GOP. They’re already showing a lot of drive to foil things in 2022 for what SHOULD BE a shoe-in for even crappy GOP candidates.

Setting GOP candidates up to rip into each other so a corrupt someone can win money and/or the election has been a good tactic - for the Democrats. Failing to acknowledge that DT should be president right now and oh well, it’s over, and won’t it be fun (and profitable) to watch DT (he’s OLD!) and Governor Ron bloody each other? - hm, yeah.

Remember, we’re getting a taste of communism in these last couple of years. The fight is between freedom and collectivism, not a couple of guys who are presently acting like they are on the same side and who SHOULD be on the same side trying to save America.

If this goes on for another six years, the Constitution will be toast.

Again, just my opinion and there’s no reason for anyone to care. But, just like with MTG, I would feel pretty bad if I didn’t say anything and then something catastrophic occurred.

You and 99% of other Conservatives who haven’t got their
head implanted.

Trump at his age, has more energy than people 25 years his
junior.

What multi billion dollar business deals has DeSantis put
together?

Look folks, I like DeSantis, but there are some things that
are going to call for a guy like Trump in 2025. DeSantis
is a good Conservative I can back, but Florida is on the
line, and we need Trump once more.

He’ll have big oil back on the front burner in less than
ten days. He’ll strike down about 95% of Biden’s B. S. in
ten days after that.

He’ll complete the wall, and I think he’ll take the butcher’s
blade to the deep state.

Soundly is now considered to be 4%?

71% to 67%, is a sound win? LMAO

Folks, it depends on who actually controls these events, who
was invited, how closely the RNC was involved in setting it
up, what type of presentations were made by people on the
agenda.

The RNC literally hates Trump.

Wasn’t Colorado one of those Caucus state Cruz won in
2016? Yes. Enough said...

Newsmax TV just described the Western Conservative Summit
situation in this manner.

“However DeSatos defeated Trump 71% to 67% during the
weekend in a GOP presidential straw poll among attendees
of the Western Conservative Summit. No other candidate
earned 30% support.”

A GOP presidential straw poll...

LOL

I’m surprised Mitch McConnell didn’t win.
