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."
“ Will the democrats give DeSantis the Trump treatment ?”
You have to ask?
Fix and destroy is their only electoral strategy, outside of fraud.
Once DeSantis becomes the primary enemy and barrier to power, they will descend on him in a manner that will make what they’ve done to Trump look tame (they always escalate personal destruction from one target to the succeeding target).
They will bring out the real vaccine statistics as soon as Trump runs and blame him for rushing it through.
Trump has too many vulnerabilities this time around.
He should have made sure he cleaned up the elections while he was in office.
WHO DIDN’T KNOW THE DEMS WERE GOING TO CHEAT AND EXACTLY WHERE THEY WERE GOING TO CHEAT?
“*cough*bull$hit*cough*
Yup. Someone here turned on the FR NEVERTRUMPER BAT SIGNAL so every fR NEVERTRUMPER can congregate..
It’s a straw poll, so you don’t know what one is, or you chose not to read the article.
How would a Trump Presidency and a DeSantis Vice Presidency sound? Here’s the logic:
Trump knows Washington, DC, can handle the “big picture” stuff, and DeSantis can be the “hatchet man”, taking out big parts of the swamp. Trump is unexcelled in irritating leftists and hitting them where it hurts, while pointing out their corruption, inadequacy, and mean spiritedness.
Meanwhile, DeSantis would direct a cabinet full of like minded hatchet men to go through the entire federal list of alphabet agencies, issuing ream after ream of pink slips.
The attorney general would have to be a hardcore conservative, willing to fire anyone in the Justice Department or FBI who tried to sabotage or just not comply.
One of his first acts as POTUS, whoever it is, should be to blanket fire all federal prosecutors and replace them with conservatives who take their jobs very seriously. Granted, some will have dozens of grand juries acting overtime to crank out indictments.
The general staff of the armed forces need to be retired and replaced with fighters. If necessary, recall retired generals and admirals if there is no handy replacement. Otherwise, the Pentagon is top heavy with senior officers that are paper pushers and button sorters and politically correct naggers who need to be out on the street.
I do wish that Trump would kinda’ bow out due to age or whatever, and soundly support DeSantis . . . with Trump’s endorsement, he’d keep his loyal fans and attract the rest of the people who are the anybody-but-Trump conservatives.
Give it a rest, Trump, and be a loyal supporter and adviser . . .
Notice that it's a dump and run? Who posts an article and then never responds to it?
Sounds like a win-win scenario to me.
This part of Trump is somewhat perplexing.
Although, to be fair Trump only has limited options.its a very curious situation.
There are very few pro-American..pro business..pro family ..who actually want to do what’s best for the country.
Also,whatever flaws or quirks Trump may or may not have had .
It’s hard to argue he had the economy humming.
And all that while he was falsely attached by almost everyone.
“DeSantis is not running
Fr readers repeatedly falling for this ruse it’s the third time I’ve seen this headline in the past day”
Yup. Noticed that one too. The FR NEVERTRUMPER BRIGADE happily passed along a spotty poll company . Im sure there will be 10 more threads of the same story in another 24 hours so the FR NEVERTRUMPERS will get another hard on..
I would ignore any poll taken at a "conservative conference" of any kind.
Neither man has officially announced.
I wouldn’t expect DeSantis to officially throw his hat into the ring until after he’s wrapped up his Florida gubernatorial re-election.
Trump teases about running again but he has yet to seal the deal and make it official.
Conventional wisdom would say DeSantis has a better chance because he’s like Trump without the mean tweets. However, it was not the mean tweets that did Trump in. It was MAGA, and doing what he said he would do. If DeSantis runs as another MAGA candidate who promises to “build the wall” and “drill, baby, drill”, the ‘rats and RINOs will move heaven and earth again (i.e. another “big steal”) to prevent him from being elected. May as well stick with Trump.
That’s a lot of hooey
The Media is trying to make a riff between Trump and DeSantis when Desantis already said he wasn’t going to run in 24 because Trump will. I think this was 4more for 45 and Desantis can be 46 in 2028, that will give us 12 Conservative years and decimate the liberals.
And a Trump/Desantis 2024 ticket would give us an even better chance of winning in 2024, 2028 and 2032.
I think 2024 will be an epic battle between Newsom and DeSantis. The values of CA vs the values of FL. We will see which state’s values resonates more with more Americans. . .
Trump or nothing. Accept no substitutes!!1
One crappy little “straw poll” in Armpit, Colorado, or whatever, and it’s blabbed all over the internet.
Weak, pathetic sauce.
LOL.
