Trump targets Fox News for ‘promoting’ DeSantis ‘so hard and so much
The Hill ^ | 02-27-2023 | DOMINICK MASTRANGELO

Posted on 02/27/2023 10:52:23 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Former President Trump renewed his attacks on Fox News this week, accusing the network of underplaying a new poll showing him with a double-digit lead on Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in a potential 2024 Republican presidential primary match-up.

Trump, in reference to the Fox News poll published Sunday that showed him leading DeSantis by 15 points in a hypothetical match-up, knocked the media giant for “promoting” DeSantis “so hard and so much that there’s not much time left for Real News.”

“Reminds me of 2016 when they were pushing ‘JEB!’ The new Fox Poll, which have always been purposely terrible for me, has ‘TRUMP Crushing DeSanctimonious,’ but they barely show it,” Trump wrote. “Isn’t there a big, beautiful, Network which wants to do well, and make a fortune besides? FAKE NEWS!”

We know Trump’s policies work. He has a record to run on. No one cares about his attack style.

Not one person is gonna say, “oh because Murdock is bad I’m voting for Trump”.

Fox is establishment, Ron is getting to close to the establishment. This will ruin Ron's chances now and in '28.

The media will ignore the issue stuff and focus on the childish.

It’s what they do.

The Dems are busy destroying the country, and this is what Trump wants to rant about. He’s not doing himself any favors. This isn’t 2016 !!!

Trump will do that on his own.

Idc who is at the top of the republican ticket. I’ll vote for them over who ever the rats dream up.

But trump is being trump and that is upsetting part of the base he needs.

Or we can look at who Trump promoted and hired when he was POTUS. Past is prologue as the saying goes.

“What is wrong with Trump for four years and then DeSantis for eight?”

Not a thing......but nobody deserves an unchallenged free pass to the nomination.

The process for the nominee needs to play out just like always.

Just because you like a 24/7/365 political food fight doesn’t mean everybody does. Many who have already seen the Trump politics reality show don’t want to sit through another rerun there. The danger for Trump is those folks he needs to get elected tune him out forever because of style and not substance.

“trump is being trump and that is upsetting part of the base he needs”

Yep....to the point that of potentially not voting for him.

Particularly in Florida.....after the way Governor DeSantis protected the people of that state from the draconian covid mandates attacking him with petty name calling could be a bad mistake.

If trump is the nominee I’ll certainly vote for him but like you said I won’t be surprised if the outcome is what you predicted.

What’s wrong with a healthy debate on the issues? What’s wrong with a challenge? See my tag line

What part of the “base” is that? The scared old people that hate Trump’s style?
