Donald Trump Hits Back at Ron DeSantis: ‘Take a Look at His Polls, Which Are Crashing’
Breitbart ^ | 22 Mar 2023 | WENDELL HUSEBØ

Posted on 03/23/2023 7:42:38 PM PDT by SoConPubbie

Former President Donald Trump shot back at Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) on Thursday by pointing to polling numbers after the governor recently criticized him.

“Ron DeSanctimonious is running—without running! … But he should take a look at his Polls, which are crashing like few people have seen before,” Trump said. “That’s because he’s merely an average REPUBLICAN Governor who has great Public Relations, far better than deserved.”

A Monmouth University poll released Tuesday revealed that 41 percent of GOP voters want Trump to win the GOP nomination, putting him 14 points above DeSantis’s 27 percent. Additional recent polling has also shown Trump trouncing DeSantis in a hypothetical matchup.

Trump continued to attack “DeSanctimonious” in a second Truth Social post. Referencing DeSantis’s interview with Piers Morgan in which he decided to engage with the former president, Trump said the interview was a desperate attempt to “rescue his failing Campaign.” DeSantis has not yet announced a GOP primary bid, though his campaign launch appears likely. Trump said:

While I am fighting against Radical Left Lunatics, Persecutors, and unfair Prosecutors who want to destroy us all, Ron DeSanctimonious is not working for the people of Florida as he should be, he is too busy chatting with a Ratings Challenged TV Host from England, desperately trying to rescue his failing Campaign—But it’s my fault, I put him there.

Perhaps one of the strongest statements against Trump came when DeSantis was questioned during a press conference about the potential indictment from the Manhattan district attorney. The governor highlighted his inability to speak to the situation.

“I don’t know what goes into paying hush money to a porn star to secure silence over some type of alleged affair,” DeSantis said.

Trump has all of the right enemies and DeSantis all of the wrong friends. After 35 years of betrayal by the useless GOPe it is Trump or nothing.

Trump needs to focus on DUmping on the ‘Rats and promoting MAGA.

RDS is a sideshow.

Between the ‘hush money’ comment and his new-found support of World War 3 against Russia, DeSantis has effectively dropped out of the race for the nomination, and that will be the case whether his people (starting with that former Cruz ‘advisor’) are able to get Trump jailed, or not.

It’s just a matter before DeSantis realizes the above...and he can now join Pence, Bolton, and that Indian lady in dividing up the 10% of the Republican voter base that still wants Neocons in power.

DeSantis’s 15 minutes are up. Now go back to Tallahassee and stay there.

Define what a Neo- Con is please. Was Jefferson a Neo- Con when he fought the Barbary Pirates. Was Polk a Neo- Con when he got half of Mexico. I think there is a HUGE difference between Neo- Con wars and Jacksonian Wars. Russia is no threat, China is. That is what the Neo- Coms have backwards.

“I don’t know what goes into paying hush money to a porn star to secure silence over some type of alleged affair,” DeSantis said.

We may soon find out DeSanctis does indeed know all about what goes into paying hush money, although the details (and genders) may be different.

President Trump's flight logs prove he was 3,000 miles away from Stormi on the weekend of their supposed rend-ez-vous. She admitted as much!

The simple fact is that President Trump paid off a grifter, as he know doubt has done before, to shield his wife and children from the slime out there! He does this whether he runs for office or not, That's just the kind of Man he Is! All he got from this was Virtue Destroyed!

“Define what a Neo- Con is please.”

Here you go, Wikipedia does a good job, and includes examples, including a picture of the bitch that caused the Ukraine War.

Yes, I understand that, I came out of that on my way from my family’s liberalism to America Forst. My point is, that Putin, though a thug, is no threat to the US. China IS, and that is who the deep state caters to.

Jeeze, if your position is that like then you shouldn’t have any need to act dumb when the term Neocon is used (like the Ukraine warmongers do) - you know them as well as myself!

If you like this guy, just admit you are Bush Republican and long for the days of George W. Bush. It’s ok to admit it.

Bush did not ban woke indoctrination or abortion or fight evil corporations or fix any election problems neither did trump for that matter. Add to getting rid of foreign invaders and you have the most conservative potential candidate in history. But let the celebrity keep you in the tired moldy arena you cling too.

Trump advanced the ball. Bush set us back 20 years.

Trump got a couple first downs and then Joe Biden picked him off and ran it back for a full on recession.
