If Florida or Texas go blue, it’s 1-party state until the USA is over. That’s just how it is.

exactly ... the nomination is probably a done deal, but the 30 Florida electoral votes are not.

Epstein was finally busted in 2005.

In 2002, here’s what Trump had to say in an interview:

“I’ve known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy,” Trump booms from a speakerphone. “He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.”

Let’s see your proof Trump disassociated himself from Epstein before he was busted. We do know that the main witness against Epstein met him at Mar-A-Lago according to all court documents.

If 2024 is like most primaries, we won’t really know until the voting is mid-way over.

With the way Trump’s handling things, I won’t be overly surprised if it’s neither him or Desantis. We’ll see I guess.

Desperation rears its telling head...

From DJT...

“[R]on DeSantis got elected because of me,” he said. “You remember he had nothing. He was dead. He was leaving the race. He came over, and he begged me, begged me for an endorsement. He was getting ready to drop out. I gave him an endorsement, and as soon as I gave that endorsement, in fact, I said you’re going to have a hard time. He was running against Adam Putnam, the commissioner of agriculture, who had a massive lead. He was running for eight years while he was commissioner. He had $40 million in cash. I believe it was forty, and he was up in the poll massively by, you know, tremendous, but not catchable, not even catchable. He said if you endorse me, I’ll win. And there were tears coming down from his eyes. He said if you endorse me, I’ll win. I said you know what, Ron, Ron was one of 150 people that was on television. I mean, Jim Jordan was the best, and others were great. But he was one of 150, Hugh, that was on television, and he was supporting me on the impeachment hoax number one and a little bit on the impeachment hoax...

Dear Mister Trump.

This Veteran does not believe that a Combat Veteran, who possesses remarkable degrees and an early success record, and with tons of options and alternatives, would come to you with "tears in his eyes."

You, with FIVE draft deferments have no standing.

None.

Since you choose to run again, you might consider focusing on the Dems. (You also might consider being tactful, diplomatic, and somehow a statesman. Just sayin'.)

I don’t think DeSantis is interested in running for POTUS ... not in 2024 anyway.

Well I think it’s one of the most blatant ‘I’m gonna run’ situations I’ve seen. Especially with the autobiography going on. I hope he does, I’m tired of Trump.

I know Trump is a whipper snapper compared to you, but he’s just too damn old and that’s just one problem.

I'm on the ground in Florida and a lot of people that put both Trump and DeSantis in office are very pissed off.

I'm not talking about party hacks.

I'm talking about truckers, bikers, waitresses, hunters, boaters, farmers, surfers, mom and pop biz, ... you get the idea.

Once they turn on ya they ain't never comin' back ... never ...

30 electoral votes ... don't take them for granted ...

I am only grateful to those I love and God. Not politicians, bobbing heads on TV, idols or hollyweirdo’s. I owe them nothing, let alone gratitude.

I am grateful for Donald Trump for many reasons and so are you. I know it.

Which POTUS was as successful as Trump? Look at what Trump accomplished:

  1. Gas price per gallon was about $2.30;
  2. Inflation about 1.4%, mortgage rates were half of what they are now;
  3. Unemployment was low before Covid and before Blue Governors shut everything down and we were in the midst of a V-shape recovery until January 22, 2021;
  4. Tax decrease; tax laws promoted small businesses as well as large;
  5. US enjoyed energy independence - No Green Agenda, no war on energy, No Paris Treaty;
  6. No war in Ukraine, no threat of nuclear war, NATO paid its way;
  7. China was quiet and we were winning the trade war;
  8. US companies were bringing home the jobs due to well executed tax treatments;
  9. Peace in the Middle East aka Abraham Accords; US Embassy moved to Jerusalem; and Iran was isolated.
  10. Got three non-left “I don't know what a woman is” Supreme Court Justices on the bench allowing Roe vs Wade to be overturned.

Who the heck can accomplish the above in four years while being impeached twice and investigated by Obama's Weaponized Agencies?

LOL. Trump is fine. He can turn it over Desantis who should be out of diapers by then.
