The far-left and the RINOs are joining forces to support Ron DeSantis today in an effort to dethrone President Trump as the top candidate for President in 2024.
This will not end well. The far-left and RINOs cannot be trusted and the MAGA crowd will have nothing to do with them.
Even some “mainstream” conservatives (i.e. Ben Shapiro) are praising DeSantis. But anyone who has followed these actors knows they are attacking President Trump by backing DeSantis.
The list goes on.
Unfortunately for DeSantis, the list includes a couple of the most disgusting far-left publications in existence. They don’t really report. It’s more like they follow a political agenda instead.
It’s blatant and obvious what they are trying to accomplish. The Left and RINOs cannot beat Trump in 2024 but they are willing to decimate DeSantis to try.
DeSantis has done an incredible job as governor. He took many actions to improve the state and stand up to the monsters on the left in Florida and in Washington DC. However, many would argue that it never would have happened if not for President Trump helping him win the 2018 Election.
Aligning himself with the left-wing media, RINOs and “conservatives” like Ben Shapiro is a terrible move for DeSantis if he goes there.
Also, why has DeSantis not said a word about the stolen 2020 Election or the BS going on in Arizona right now?
Has DeSantis said anything in Kari Lake’s defense? Does he have a Truth Social account?
President Trump has the largest base of motivated supporters in US history. If DeSantis wants to win them over he’d be better advised to join them rather than go against them. This is something Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell’s egos would never accept.
This GP headline is TRUTH.
Hopefully Trump and desantis are playing a game of I hate you, no I hate you more until the finali where they join forces and crush them all, I can dream cant I?
—> DeSantis is the next president.
The Rotarians can always use a good President!
I’m not supporting Trump this time around, and I won’t vote for him in the primary.
—> Trump need to step away and let the next guy have a shot.
So far, Trump looks like the next guy.
Trump needs to change his tactics to “inform and expose” with no petty, personal attacks. He can be a force for good, but he’s too old to run again. Yes, the election was stolen, but exposure of that truth will be a long time coming, and he needs to realize that fact and shift gears.
A healthy primary process will decide who is the next nominee. I welcome Trump’s candidacy, but I also welcome other candidates as well.
If Trump wants to tamp down criticism from republicans, he may want to stop all the sophomoric nonsense such as lying Ted, Slow Jeb, little Marco and the latest...Ron DeSanctimonious.
Trying to blow out someone else’s candle in an effort to make yours glow brighter is not a way to garner respect. It’s simply childish.
The left is pushing the idea of running DeSantis because they don’t want Trump because Trump exposed the swamp.
Stoking division is not helping. Don’t play into Democrats hands.
His performance in one state is because of election reforms he pushed for in that state (and still didn’t reach Trump’s high in that state.)
Those reforms do not translate to the other 49 states.
The most humble, effective, and economical approach would be to wait until he's drafted.
I expect the Dems to continue to hammer Trump and declare him guilty of some fake crime, and declare him ineligible to run. (and found innocent after its too late). It is clear to me that our system is that corrupt.
P.S. There are no examples of a VP taking on a leadership role that so impressed the voting public, that they swept him into office "when his time came". And No Prez is going to allow his VP to overshadow him or take credit for the results.
DeSantis is by any measure more conservative than the populist Trump, and the democrats are doing everything they can to push Trump into running because it guarantees them another presidential victory, and another underperforming election down-ballot.
The “RINOS” just would like to win some elections for the party they pretend to be a part of. Although they have a lot in common with Trump, as both RINOS and Trump will happily endorse democrats in major important elections against republicans.
All that is needed is a person or persons to broker a deal between Trump and DeSantis!
Envisioning Trump on a throne sums up the views of his rabid fans very well indeed. I, for one, look for a servant, not a master, when voting.
But Trump has made it clear that, like the Bourbons, restored to the throne of France when Napoleon was overthrown, he has learned nothing, and forgotten nothing.
The left is more afraid of DeSantis than Trump
Maybe not 48, only 45!
“Has DeSantis said anything in Kari Lake’s defense? “
What does one say to defend an Obama democrat?
“(and still didn’t reach Trump’s high in that state.)”
Midterm election 2 million less turnout and he almost matched Trump winning by 20 pointd.
