"The election season for 2024 has already begun and to even begin to amass his [DeSantis'] war chest ..."

Last election, in recognition of Trump's success in appointing Supreme Court Justices, I sent him TEN TIMES the money I had donated in prior elections.

If Trump appears to be a shoo-in for the nomination, I will send that same amount on the day he announces. If it's a contest, then I will let them fight it out and reward the winner.

It’s more sinister than that. They’re trying to make a martyr out of Trump, hoping that when tehy do, the intense loyalty many people have to him will cause violence.

Why would they want taht? So they can crack down and get a lot closer to the absolute power they so desperately crave.

I read your post last night, and I got way off into the weeds on a response, mostly centered on “The DNC may just have to make the best of the situation”.

Basically, I did find the concept of putting the question directly to the DNC as something that stimulated my sense of humor, but mostly because of their horror at saying things aloud they would rather not say aloud!

Of course, with their despicable collective group-think mind set, they never need to write things down, ask questions, or give verbal commands.

“Okie signed up here in May 2022 and is a pot-stirring troll.”

I’m not sure when signed up has anything to do with anything - dumb comment.

I liked Trump’s policies, but I don’t think he gives us the best chance of winning. I guess, in your eyes, anybody who isn’t a Trump robot, is a troll.

Thinking is not against the rules my friend !!!!!!

Hey I have a follow-up question: Do you think Governor Ron used the funeral as an excuse to ditch the fundraiser because that candidate is polling so badly? Some of the libwad commenters on a couple of articles I looked up said that was the reason. Mr Zeldin seems like a good candidate, but of course: Democrats. Another commenter said Gov Ron might have gotten some threats or something, too. Anyway, what do you think?

“There is no way they fear DeSantis more than Trump.”

I think the Dems actions say the opposite. They want to run against a bruised up Trump who is tied up in litigation and continues to rehash the 2020 election. They know Trump still doesn’t poll well with suburban women and independents. The Dems also know that a lot of voters, beyond Trump’s base, are simply tired of the drama and want to move on. The Dems also know that nobody fires up their base to get out and vote like Trump - nobody.
In DeSantis they see a person who pushes solid conservative policies that are popular. A person who handles himself much better than Trump, who stands up to the media, and is effective when it comes to getting things done.
You get they fear DeSantis more than Trump.
Don’t knee jerk......think about it.

“They’re not attacking DeSantis because they are attempting to lock-in Trump’s candidacy. They obviously prefer a re-run of 2020, and they think their base will come out (or mail-in) to defeat Trump.”

Yep.....you get it.

“Still advancing your anti-Trump jihad, I see.”

I’m not anti-Trump....I’m PRO-WINNING.

That’s something the Trump robots on FR can’t seem to grasp. Oh well.

“It is inarguable that they are doing all they can to scuttle his candidacy. And I think for their self preservation, they should try that.

Or, at least I hope so.

They are doing all they can to bruise him up and goad him into running in 2024. The Dems see it as their best chance of winning.

Didnt Trump not poll well with the same folks in the past but shockingly secured their votes? DeSantis in nationwide terms is a nobody. I love the guy and if actually ends up the candidate Id be fine. I think folks still underestimate how large Trumps base is. The democrats are doing nothing to secure independents- in fact I think theyre losing them. Despite all the persecution Trump can still say theyve all been hoaxes...because they have. We all know there was fraud in 2020 and those GOP that wish to bury that fact are doomed to feel the same pain down the road. Trump seems to be on the right side of things , Im willing to give him the benefit of the doubt... I think alot of folks are. I know people have short memories..but things were pretty damn good in Dec 2019 for this country.

I guess you have trouble understanding english, a problem a lot of Trump suffer from. Pro-winning doesn’t equate to anti-Trump, except when you are communicating with a Trump robot.

The Deep State and the Dems are deathly afraid of Trump and why is that? Because they know he is going to win.
