Once Trump is out of the way, whenever and however that is, they, the evil ones, will set their lambent red eyes on DeSantis. They will do to him ALL that they did to Trump and throw in any new vileness that they can dream up. Rinse repeat, until they absolutely own the show.

I’m sure in 2016 they were doing the same things to the other Republican candidates. Spying and setting up vicious smear jobs on everyone who was running. I’m sure they’re preparing the same against everyone who is likely to run.

Uh — no, thanks.

The last thing this country needs in the White House for the next hundred years is another Ivy League lawyer who has worked in government for his entire adult life.

You know if he had fired all who needed to be... he would risk losing a second term. Things have changed since then.. more have seen the corrupt other side.. more has come out. In his first term, none of this was known and the media was out to get him.. with no push back.. the gop is still dead in the water, but there is new blood running for office...

If you have doubts about Trump, that is your choice. I know before he ran for the Presidency, he had to deal with NY City, in all of his ideas and buildings... he is a fighter... he knows how to fight.. who else could have withstood all of government and the left, go after as hard as anyone ever has had to endure and still have faith in his voters and this country!

the longer this plays on with hate and lies aimed at Trump.. the stronger his base is. We know if not for Trump, they would be after us with every freedom we have.

I remember the day Castro rode into town on a convertible.. he and his band had defeated the dictator and were riding in to claim ownership. The crowd followed the car, cheering him on.

A few days later he announced he was a communist and the first thing he did was take the guns from citizens. then he took ownership of their land and their homes. Drs and lawyers and all who could, left everything and fled to Florida. boat or swimming.. some drowned. Those who made it started all over again.

We are facing just about what they did in Cuba. If not for Trump, they would not hestitate to take what we have.. piece by piece.. they are a lawless breed already.. and they’d like nothing better than to get the MAGA: people out of here.

Ask someone who came from a communist country.. they recognize what is going on here... they know the process... they smell the odor... but we have young folks who have no idea what it would be like... nor do they have any idea how close we are to that kind of control.

They would get rid of the good man and clap/cheer for the dictator government.. only afterwards would they cry for help.
I have no mercy for those who spit on the flag and sit for the pledge...and vote for a senile old man who never wanted good for the country.. it was all about him.... they are clueless and won’t learn until they are pinched to the very inch of their skin.

Lazy, comfortable, spoiled, filled with anger and hate... railing against the boat sent to us to save us!!

DeSantis is hot. He'll appeal to the independents. And the base likes him.

This is the guy you want to bet the farm on? IDTS, he's bought and compromised

Citadel Investment Boss Ken Griffin Previously Gave DeSantis $10 Million, Today Says He Would Accept Position as Treasury Secretary
The king of manipulating Wall Street shorts is Citadel founder Ken Griffin. The Wall Street hedge fund billionaire has made most of his money betting against Main Street stocks and then manipulating their downfall to reap the rewards.

Griffin is despised by small investors, especially the Reddit WallStreetBets group who went head-to-head against the titan in the Gamestop and Robinhood story {backstory}. Recently Griffin moved his financial HQ from Chicago to Miami after giving Florida governor Ron DeSantis $10 million for his reelection effort.

Bloomberg News reported earlier today that Ken Griffin has said he is open to taking the position of U.S. Treasury Secretary after he is successful installing Ron DeSantis as the 2024 presidential winner.

[New York] – […] Griffin also revealed that he would be open to serving as Treasury secretary in a Ron DeSantis administration if the GOP governor of Florida decides to make a bid for the White House in 2024.

He told Bloomberg that he “will definitely be involved in the presidential race” and that he would consider moving to Washington, DC, if called upon to do so by a Republican president. There are trillions at stake…

I like Schlichter’s prose.

If Florida is ever compelled to secede from the Deteriorating States of America, we should rename it New Alligatoria.

At this point conservatives believe we are being lied to, stolen from, and this is a different world than it was even 4 years ago. The left are commies, most of the gop are almost commies. They hate the man who came aboard to help the country, and received the worst abuse ever dished out to a President!!!

We are up to the limit of what they are doing... Trump can get the military to remove them all and I’d celebrate. They call that senile president.. I will never put that word in with biden. Biden is as corrupt as they come.. the laptop has it all in there. . the millions they took from countries.. while VP.. and nothing has been done... instead, the whole of the government are spending their time looking for papers Trump might have.
which is it? classified/unclassified documents or the other side abusing, selling children .. wide open borders, selling our reserve oil, sending billions to other countries... the same ones who gave biden and son the millions...
the evidence is there, but hidden from the public.. which side needs checked...

But Bruce, why then did Trump’s 2020 vote total increase by 12 million over his 2016 total? And I’m talking about the official, reported tally not one adjusted to account for possible fraud. It just doesn’t make sense. Biden supposedly got 16 million more votes than Clinton in 2016. Who are these people?

Trump solidified his base between 2016 and 2020. Most of those who voted for him reluctantly voted for him enthusiastically in 2020. Those who supported him enthusiastically in 2016 were still on board with him in 2020. On top of that he gained an additional 12 million more votes from people who didn’t vote for him in 2016.

The population of rabid Trump hating Democrats didn’t sit out 2016. They voted for Clinton. So who is this population of 16 million Trummp haters who didn’t like Biden but hated Trump even more yet didn’t hate him enough to vote against him in 2016? Keep in mind that Trump’s approval among independents in general, and blacks and latino’s in particular increased between 2016 and 2020. It just doesn’t make sense.

Also for your consideration is that a lot of the current donations are not just boomers, but the older high end of life boomers, not insignificantly the Qanon supporters who give in large amount to maintain access to the site while other sites ban them. Those folks are the oldest of the old and no one should count on their support indefinitely and unfortunately many have passed on in The last four or five years. Others have just disappeared, perhaps to bad health or death.

Start by looking at DeSantis’s donor list. Start by looking at his support for Fast Track Authority for the Trans Pacific Partnership when he was in the House.

Because he is polarizing. There are people who really like him and therefore want to vote for him, and people who really hate him and therefore want to vote against him. And the polarization got worse from 2016 to 2020.

Additionally, because of Covid, a bunch of states allowed vote by mail. That did make it easier to commit fraud, but it also made it easier for people to cast legitimate votes. So, we got a lot more total votes.

biden’s problem is not his age

it is his cognitive decline

Trump is not any sign of that

“Because he is polarizing.”

O.K. Fair enough

“And the polarization got worse from 2016 to 2020.”

And that’s where your premise faulters. Trump became less polarizing between 2016 and 2020 because he had a record of sucess that he didn’t have in 2016. He gained support among independents, and in particular Blacks and Latinos between 2016 and 2020.

Trump didn’t cause the division, he revealed it.
