Long but well-written article by #NeverTrumper journalist Matthew Continetti (William Kristol's son-in-law).

Here's the Cliff Notes:

Trump's 2024 campaign kickoff sputtered and suffered some setbacks. Nonetheless, he's enjoyed a couple of good weeks recently, mostly due to Biden's own classified documents scandal.

Mainstream Republicans are hoping Trump will simply quietly disappear because they don't want to challenge him. So instead, they're attacking Ron DeSantis, Trump's closest rival (and the man I support for president in 2024).

DeSantis is the biggest obstacle for Trump and currently leads in polling in the important early primary states of South Carolina and New Hampshire.

As in 2016, if there's a crowded GOP primary, Trump will easily win in a war of attrition. In a head to head matchup against DeSantis, this will become more difficult for Trump.

Trump is not out of the game.

OK folks, for all of you who say I never say anything nice about Trump and only post pro-DeSantis articles, here you go!

Ron DeSantis 2024! (But don't cry. If Trump wins the nomination, I'll vote for him.)

As long as there is absentee mail-in voting, elections have no meaning. As long as judges make the ad hoc "voting laws" elections have no meanings. Don't get excited about any candidate. Save yourself the grief.

“OK folks, for all of you who say I never say anything nice about Trump and only post pro-DeSantis articles, here you go!”

With frineds like that, who needs enemies?

It’s for our PDJT, The GOAT, if he wants it.
He never faltered, or slipped. ONLY Never Trumpers saw that in their steamy and heated delusions.

If DeSantis tries without Trumps suport, his political future is over. He is the Heir Apparent, but not yet.

To take on the King, you have to kill the King.

MAGA is alive and well.
Roll MAGA, roll!

What’s really happening is that Trump has obviously been making deals with America’s rulers and they may somehow believe that he can be useful for their agenda.

“OK folks, for all of you who say I never say anything nice about Trump...”

In that spirit, I’ll say again: Trump is right regarding the latest neocon war. Not only correct, but Right.

Theres no denying Trump has a very devoted bloc of fanboys that makes him formidable in the primary. If only the general election consisted entirely of diehard Republican primary voters.

No repubublican has a plausible path to the presidency. Republicans learned nothing from 2020 or 2022. Dems now complexly control voting in ax nv and pa. No path to the presidency without those states. Meanwhile the dems are in continuous improvement mode. McDaniel is a world class loser like her uncle. Yet trump pushed for her to keep her rnc spot. Everything looks like a charade

Please Trump, move aside. The Dems will cheat again to prevent you from winning.

Then again, they will cheat against DeSantis too.

Maybe Repubs should run globalist Jeb Bush. He terrifies nobody.

it’s wishful thinking desantis is running for president after he released a statement last week instructing people not to donate money to any organization that claims he’s running for president in 2024...

Politics? After all of the crazy talk and lies? Really?

Remember:

* Elections are all rigged, and we can’t win!

* The Russians, Iranians, North Koreans and all are our friends!

* Everything is a vast, all encompassing conspiracy, and everyone is in on it!

* Q!

[All irony and sarcasm there.]

Yeah. Politics. Right. Sure.

No!

The tired old lie that President Trump invited the anti-semite continues to be pushed by Never-Trumpers.
The President invited Kanye to a private talk to help him out. Kanye’s career and family life was/is a disaster.
Kanye brings that guy to the private meeting with President Trump. Unbeknownst to the President who had no idea who that guy was.
After the firestorm, Kanye himself said he asked that guy to come with him and never informed President Trump about this.
All facts IGNOIRED by Never-Trumpers.
