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."

RD will come to this conclusion, i.e., drop out until 2028

No, he won't. The Florida Senate is right now passing legislation to change Florida law so desantis can run for POTUS while he is still governor of Florida. He has been illegally running for POTUS up to this point, cheating Floridians. The man is willing to change laws that benefit no one but himself.

they did not just sit back... they actively worked against Making America Great Again “extremists before the 2020 election, just as they do now...

but now they are saying the quiet part out loud more often...

Desantis will not be president, or candidate for said office this coming election.

You always go to name calling.

If you call stating facts as name calling. Then yes, I'm guilty.

I wasn’t aware that DeSantis was running for President?

Exactly! Trump is coming across as a petulant, petty little boy.

He doesn’t promise to fight Bidem or Democrats.

Not a good strategy. He needs to focus on issues...how bad the country became under Biden. How good it was when he was in office and how good it will become when he gets back in.

In the GOP primary, Republicans need to pick the candidate who shows he can go after conservatives, and leave Democrats alone.

Unless there’s a lot going on behind the scenes that we don’t know about, Trump is destroying his own campaign.

And I say that as a two-time Trump voter. Enough of this resentful, undignified stuff.

DeSantis hasn’t even declared.

I honestly don’t care.

The reason I won’t support Trump is that he is too damned old. I am tired of geriatrics running the country. It’s time for them all to give it up and retire.

We need people who can get stuff done. That’s “none of the above” at this point.

This Trump ad does not say what the title of this piece implies. It does not say DeSantis owes me. The truth is Ron does owe him and it shows poor character on his part in light of the fact he just took on his second term as Governor.

Great AD for primary season. Pretty much sums it all up and makes sense to most people that believe in loyalty.

But I am hopeful that he WILL have a come-to-Jesus moment and drop out ... :)

Remember when Sarah Palin cut short her governorship to run as VP — how the FReepers condemned and hated her for doing that? They are surprisingly silent about RD doing the same thing.

Pleaswe, he has too declared. He is being cowardly and obviously afraid to take this on so he lets his PAC do the attacks.

This is Ron.

Yeah, calling someone a loser without any idea of their accomplishments is incredibly mature.

You stand behind you anonymity to bully other people. If we were face to face, or if you had to post your name…you wold sing a different tune.

You should check with your insurance for a therapist. You need some help. I suggest this because I care about you and those who don’t have a choice but to be around you.

President Trump is our best bet for saving the country, but this ad is so stupid that it makes one wonder if he really had anything to do with it. He needs to focus on the real issues adn problems which are overflowing. DeSantis should not even be on his radar right now even if he does have the support of every deep state RINO that there is. This includes a sizeable cabal right here in River City.
