The Trump campaign is up with first 60-second spot airing nationally: DeSantis owes it to me to drop out
HOT AIR ^ | April 26, 2023 | Ed Morrisey

Posted on 04/26/2023 9:33:37 AM PDT by hcmama

"...this sounds pretty whiny for a first-look official campaign ad. The script for it amplifies that quality, as it sounds as though Trump wrote it himself. “Struggling big-time,” “failing so bad,” “Trump’s support was so powerful,” and so on. It’s comic-book language for a comic-book grudge. Everything about this ad is about Trump’s personal affront, and nothing — not a single word — is about the issues of the day, policies Trump wants to implement, or even voters themselves. It’s sixty seconds of personal butt-hurt, broadcast nationally."

“Trump will get the nomination, and be wiped out in the general election -”

And this is based on what? The same people who said the only question about 2022 was the size of the red tsunami?

How many narratives about elections have to blow up in your face before you take a step back?

I watched the ad and I thought it was pathetic and weak. But I'm sure your giant, bold headline will change everyone's opinion.

And I'll be happy to piss off both sides by saying I'll vote Trump or Desantis against PedoJoe, but I am in Trump's camp until he drops out.

“Anybody who takes issue with her, saying she resigned to run for VP is factually wrong.”

Thank you. That’s what I thought. And I kept pretty well informed with her since I lived in AK for several years and pay attention. Anyhow, I loved Sarah. I still love Sarah.

President Trump is clearly leading with his first objective of the 2024 Election season - beat all Republican challengers.

First impression - came across as whiny.

I have to refresh my memory as to why she said she was resigning.

Keeping in mind the TEA Party context, Obama and the Democrats saw her as his biggest threat for the 2012 election, so he sent Anita Dunn and Pete Rouse to take her out. They did so by enlisting several local Democrat operatives in Alaska to file over 20 frivolous ethics complaints against her.

Since she was forced to pay for her own legal expenses under Alaska law, the goal was to bankrupt her and destroy her family. Her legal defense fund was even found illegal by a Rat judge, so she had no choice but to resign in order to fight off Obama's minions and those charges, which she did, But at the cost of her governorship and perhaps the presidency, as Obama intended. So he won, aided and abetted by the GOP-E, which did not lift a finger to help her.

There’s a saying that ‘there’s many a slip ‘twixt cup and lip’.

It’s early days yet, and anything can happen.

I don’t think any of us should be glued to anything, at this point.

Absolutely. nowhere in the video does Trump or anybody speaking for Trump say "DeSantis owes it to me to drop out".

Fake news bump. 👍👍👍

‘If they took away your ability to name call, they would put you someplace where they could teach you to speak.
That’s your come back? You could do better.”

You are right about that.
