TRUMP AGREES WITH MEGYN KELLY THAT HARDCORE MAGA WILL ‘NEVER CROSS TRUMP’ TO VOTE FOR DESANTIS
RSBN ^ | October 27, 2022 | Timothy Frudd

Amid rising speculation over who will become the 2024 GOP nominee for president, Trump indicated that he agrees that it is not DeSantis’s turn to run for president in 2024.

On Wednesday, Trump shared a video on Truth Social of Kelly stating she does not think DeSantis can win against Trump and that the MAGA base will not “cross” Trump for DeSantis. Trump captioned the video with, “I AGREE!”

Asked whether she believed DeSantis is “skilled” or “crafty” enough to debate Trump, Kelly told Dave Rubin in an interview, “I don’t even think that a little. I think Trump sucks up all the energy in every room, no matter what. And even someone as skilled as a politician and smart policy-wise as DeSantis can’t overcome that. He can’t.”

The video Trump shared on Truth Social is from a longer interview on “The Rubin Report,” where Kelly made it clear that Trump’s dominating influence in the Republican Party and devoted MAGA base makes it impossible for other Republicans to successfully challenge the 45th president. “I just don’t think anybody else could win if Trump runs,” she said.

Kelly explained the MAGA movement would “never cross Trump” to support a potential DeSantis presidential campaign.

While the Florida governor quickly became a central figure in the Republican Party following his 2018 election win, his victory was largely credited to Trump’s endorsement. The 45th president’s endorsement has been key to Republican victories for several years, serving as a reminder that the MAGA movement is a force to be reckoned with.

“They like DeSantis, but they don’t think it’s his turn,” Kelly added. “They think Trump was screwed out of his last election, that he screwed out of his first term by all the craziness, the Russiagate, and so on, and they think he’s entitled, he deserves another shot at it.”

“The hardcore Trump faithful is unshakable,” the journalist continued. “They liked DeSantis, but they would never cross Trump for him, and they think that DeSantis owes his political career to Trump.”

“If forced to choose, they will choose Trump,” Kelly said. “DeSantis can’t take him down. It’s like the line in ‘War Games,’ the only winning move is not to play. DeSantis has got to either be crowned by Trump or he shouldn’t run. He won’t win over Trump.”

Kelly concluded her argument, emphatically stating, “I’ll stand by that. You can play it against me if I’m wrong, but I won’t be.”

True, but he also needs to be aware the rat media will twist EVERYTHING he says about De Santis in order to whip up a rivalry.

President Trump gets first dibs but he must have hiers. So, President Trump, please start designating your princes who would compete to be the next King after you.

When bad guys are caught stealing what is yours, the right thing to do is return what was stolen.

Only one person deserves to be president in 2024.

Not even to the 2022 election yet.

Megyn Kelly and President Trump - please shut your pie holes.

It’s pretty apparent that DeSantis is living rent-free in both their heads.

If Trump wins the nomination, every MAGA voter will stand behind him. However, if DeSantis wins, we must stand behind him.

I support Trump. I support DeSantis.

The question is, who has the best chance of defeating whomever runs for the Dems in 2024 (I don’t think Biden will be the nominee)?

I honestly don’t know the answer to that question. But it’s something that should be taken into consideration.

If he hasn’t learned from his mistakes...If he hires the same idiots and backstabbers and incompetents he did before...If he doesn’t put his buffoonish ego aside and hire the most ALPHA of alphas available, even though he may feeeeeel insecure...If he doesn’t go DARK MAGA and not only clean house of the intelligence agencies and bureaucracies...If he doesn’t JAIL the ones needing jailing and ELIMINATING those that need eliminating...I’ll take my chances with DeSantis.

After what Trump did to JD Vance, I’m not so sure Trump cares

That is the problem with Kings sometimes. That is why they are king. So, we have to take the good with the bad.

Trump only cares about himself and no one else. He will sabotage Desantis if he has the chance, because he is a spiteful person.

Really? That is the liberal statement. There is much evidence to prove you wrong.
