Trump warns DeSantis against 2024 White House bid, saying it wouldn’t be ‘good’ for GOP
The Hill ^ | November 8, 2022 | BRETT SAMUELS

Posted on 11/09/2022 3:51:36 AM PST by Timber Rattler

Former President Trump in a new interview warned Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) against running for president in 2024.

“I don’t know if he is running. I think if he runs, he could hurt himself very badly. I really believe he could hurt himself badly,” Trump told Fox News in an interview late Monday after a rally in Ohio. “I think he would be making a mistake. I think the base would not like it. I don’t think it would be good for the party.”

“Any of that stuff is not good. You have other people that possibly will run, I guess,” Trump added. “I don’t know if he runs. If he runs, he runs.”

The former president also suggested he knew unflattering information about DeSantis that he’d be willing to share if the two were to face off in a primary.

“I would tell you things about him that won’t be very flattering — I know more about him than anybody — other than, perhaps, his wife,” Trump said.

Mail in ballots are an invitation to fraud. They should be banned in every State with Republican legislatures.

174 wins and 9 losses.

That was the result of Trump candidates. Best to know what the truth is before you spout off your nonsense.

Everyone you don’t like is Satan? You’re as bad as the folks who call Republicans Nazis and fascists.

Trumps candidates did not do very well. Vance won. That’s about all you can say. He’s never been good with coattails.

Seriously? Everyone I do not like? Seriously? God gave me discernment. Not a fighter for higher political office.

Sad to say, I don't think Trump would win in a general election in 2024.

Your name is apropo…..
….you strike, knowing your aggressive cronies will be close behind to negatively impugn President Trump

It gets so tiresome….
….but on the positive side, it gives Trump friends/voters at FR good experience to refute, or ignore you

Trump has done more for our nation in 4 years than anyone else has since Reagan!
Trump has presented the ‘template’ for other Patriotic Americans to follow.
Trump has brought ‘love of God and Country’ to our hearts and minds again.
Trump has enabled policies to keep us safe.
Trump has enabled our self respect by growing jobs and opportunities.
GOD BLESS DONALD TRUMP

No non-Uniparty or non-establishment candidate will ever be President again.

That’s a fact.

Donald needs to shift his presence to party’s popular former president. Oz and a lot of his picks were poor and his campaign events are not driving new votes. Be like Clinton and step in occasionally. The party is stalled at 2022 levels until he does. Sucks for him, but it is reality. He had a massively big imprint on the country and shifting the party in a great new direction. Now, we must all move forward.

Trump primary picks were disasters .
He needed to stay out of it but couldn't help himself .
He made such good picks for his WH Staff .
He made this election about him again to our detriment .

He needs to retire .
Evil McConnell purposely destroyed Trumps candidates along with
Demon Linda Gramnesty a Democrat with her attempted Abortion bomb.

Trump is running in '24. Desantis will get crushed if he tries to go against Trump.

You will be voting for Trump in Nov. ‘24.

Get used to the idea. Where else are you going to go?

Last night America said to Trump, "Go away."

They said this in the re-elections of Ron DeSantis, Marco Rubio, Brian Kemp, and Brad Raffensperger and they said this in the defeats of nearly every other MAGA candidate.

Trump is touting "174 wins, 9 losses. Great night!" Really? And those 174 wins? How many of those were House races already ahead by 20 points by the time Trump endorsed them?

It's those nine losses that mattered. These were devastating. These are on Trump.

Trump's days as a kingmaker or a viable candidate in '24 ended last night. People here would be wise to see this and move on.

DeSantis is the future of the GOP.
