The chickens have come home to roost for Donald Trump in Pennsylvania. After he stuck his nose in the state’s Republican primary process last May against the guidance of his most loyal advisers, many of his once-devoted followers say they are done with the former president.

“If you’re a Republican in Pennsylvania and you look at Donald Trump’s bigfooting of the people in Pennsylvania and the implosion of his candidates in Pennsylvania, you’re pretty upset,” said Urban, a Washington-based strategist who grew up in Beaver County, Pa.
Urban said his phone has been ringing all week with county chairs and committee people who tell him they’ve had it with Trump.
“They said, ‘Look, we’re done. We’re done with him. He cost us this election and we’re done.’”
He’s not the only one. All day Wednesday my phone lit up with calls and emails from voters who expressed the exact same frustration. One woman said she saw the writing on the wall last weekend when Trump decided to take a swipe at Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis — calling him “Ron DeSanctimonious” — while he campaigned for Oz and Mastriano in Pennsylvania.
And when Trump went on to tease that he was going to announce “something big” next week (presumably his run for president in 2024), she knew it would hurt Oz on Election Day.
“I had a pit-of-my-stomach moment as I watched the rally,” said the former Trump fan, who did not want to be named. “It is hard to quit Trump — I voted for him twice enthusiastically.” But “at this juncture, I think we have to move forward to a new generation of leaders.”

BULLLL...SHITTE!
Attacking DeSantis - the best and most respected Governor in the country - imperiled Trump’s standing with a lot of conservatives
God used Donald to save Rons sorry arsd when the dems had him by the balls before he became governor.
Any success desanctimonious has had seems to result from his “what would donald do” soliloquy.
Hes a Donald wanna be... who needs to stand down and serve his better... not the anti trumpers who are blowing smoke in his face.
You will be voting for Trump in Nov. ‘24.
Get used to the idea.
Where else are you going to go?
NOPE.
Independents turned on Trump and his candidates. You’re not going to win a Presidency when you alienate them and popular GOP candidates who didn’t kiss Trumps ring (Kemp, DeSantis and Youngkin).
Wake up now. Or it will be worse in 2024.
You need to take a deep breath and get some oxygen into your brain. The only reason I voted for Kemp is to stop the vile Communist piece of filth Stacey Abrams from being my Governor. The other two, DeSantis and Youngkin, would be chewed up by the usual Leftist hierarchies if they weren't useful to them to attack President Trump.
Maine would fit, but who knows. Pennsylvania solves a lot of problems, but they may have already started voting for 2024.
It’s hard to know what the environment is going to look like. I can’t see Biden getting much more popular, and he’s certainly not getting any sharper.
Probably our best scenario is either an 81 year old incoherent Biden runs again or Kamala somehow gets the nomination. If Biden doesn’t run, I can see their party brass plugging in Newsom, Whitmer or Klobuchar. I think any one of those three would be trouble for us just for shallow, stupid superficial reasons that move voters. Newsom frightens me the most. He would clean up with women.
Fake Trump voters are done 😏
Well, I’m glad to hear you didn’t listen to Trump who suggested Abrams might be better than Kemp.
Yep. They are pretty brazen about it. So Pennsylvania is out. So that leaves either Arizona or Michigan. Kari Lake needs to win so she can clean up the election laws in Arizona. If not, the path to the White House is going to be very difficult even if we have DeSantis. The Democrats will be prepared and they will put Biden to pasture if necessary.
they are peeling off the fickle ones
Not this voter. I’m MAGA all the way.
big difference between Trump and DeSantis
Trump didnt need the rino CoC money
DeSantis does
I supported LOU BARLETTA for our PA governor. He ran a business for decades, and he had political experience as a mayor and in Congress. He’s a true conservative, and he knew how to choose other conservatives to assist him. Plus, he had no connection to Act 77, which screwed us over.
Yeh, sure. 🙄
That's mighty democrat of you. Don't be alarmed when you find yourself surrounded by similar weak minded fools.
Yet another clown jumps out of the car!
Same here. I'm done playing stupid republican games.
Umm...no.
It was the corrupt RINO legislature that unconstitutionally passed Act 77, that gave the Rats an open invitation to vote fraud.
