Fox’s Brian Kilmeade Has To SEARCH Diner To Find a SINGLE DeSantis Supporter — And Even She’s On The Fence
Mediaite ^ | 2.28.23 | Colby Hall

Posted on 03/01/2023 11:19:48 AM PST by conservative98

Brian Kilmeade co-hosted Tuesday’s episode of Fox & Friends from a diner in Ponte Vedra, Florida. Just before going to break, he held an unscientific but still revealing poll of diners’ favorite candidates in 2024.

“All right. 2024, who is pumped up for the election?” Kilmeade asked the attendees of the Metro Diner. “Rapid fire. Who is your man? Who is your woman?”

The first six respondents ALL cited former President Donald Trump as their preferred candidate, though two added South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem as a running mate to Trump, and two mentioned former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley also as a Vice Presidential candidate to Trump.

“So far, a lot of Donald Trump,” Kilmeade noted before finding a woman wearing a shirt emblazoned with the name of the Florida Governor. “I see Governor DeSantis; what about President DeSantis?” he asked of the woman.

“Oh, gosh, I don’t know,” she replied. “Trump or DeSantis, either/or.”

It is very early in the 2024 race for the White House, but many pundits see a two-horse race emerging for the GOP nomination between Trump and DeSantis. While recent polls show Trump leading DeSantis by 15 points, the customers at the Metro Diner in Ponte Vedra have a much clearer idea of who they want to run

I think anyone supporting trump wants a bit of revenge, many seek justice for the stolen election.

I think others are beginning to recall how good it was under trump and figure we need to get back to that.

lastly I think another subset believe trump is the only one willing to fight dirty to change the mess we are in.

I just wish he would stop supporting the clot shot even as a volunteer option AND demonstrate he learned that he can’t hire the republican establishment picks for his cabinet.

So, Fox is trying to promote Trump.

It killed him to say, “this is a strong Trump group”.

DeSantis for all practical purposes is probably a plan B at this point.

Who’s going to split the ticket? That’s my question. If Ross Perot hadn’t a run Clinton probably would have never made it into office. I’m convinced Perot got some side action money for his endeavors.

I think the slogan on the woman’s T shirt reflects why many Floridians want Trump for President. They want to keep DeSantis as governor and then hopefully vote for him in 2028.

Looks like a KKK rally.

For Pete’s sake, wait until someone declares they are running before hyping or dumping on them.

Bingo. People don’t want him to leave the Governor’s office.

Because our choice of candidates is not influenced by popular opinion. Its “this is who we are willing to give you” and making it seem like the people chose.

Many Floridians are on the fence primarily because they do not want to lose DeSantis as Florida’s governor. They like him and don’t want to lose him to Washington D.C. Some will vote for Trump in a Florida primary for that reason.

Yup, I am one of those strong DeSantis supporters and that is exactly how I think about the situation.

So am I. At the time Perot was looking to get some kind of federally funded health care funneled to his hospitals if I recall correctly. There might well have been an under-the-table deal.

I would enthusiastically support DeSantis if he is the nominee. I do not want him to be the nominee. I don’t think a Republican can win a national election again and losing the presidential run would likely be a career ender. We need him in Florida and it is the individual states that present the sole hope of retaining or reclaiming something of classical and free America.
