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

"...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."

[FreeReign]

Would love to see Trump run against Biden and the Democrats instead of imaginary butt-hurts…

Trump just released a video on Biden. Your complaint that Trump doesn't run against Biden is "imaginary".

President Donald J. Trump Releases Web Video Addressing Joe Biden’s Announcement

If you are right, then it’s also true that no other Republican can win it either.

While I don't hold that statement to be axiomatic, you and I both know that any Republican starts with a nearly insurmountable disadvantage. Therefore, we do need a candidate that will connect with America, above and beyond any personal sense wanting to correct a political wrong or as a salve to one's ego.

IMO, this is a national life or death struggle. If Trump, fantastic. If it genuinely and honestly looks like Trump is not the best hope for the general election, he must step aside for the good of the country.

[cableguymn]

Trump will win just like he did his last two elections.

ummn no...

he lost the last one. fair and square? nope. but, he’s not in the white house.

the GOPe won’t help him this time either.

Now to be fair, I don’t care who it is, Desantis, Trump, someone else. A republican will never be in the white house until the covid election changes are reversed.

[Boogieman]

“we do need a candidate that will connect with America...”

Well, if you have the base of the party loyal first and foremost, then you want to go and grab those independents.

But if you don’t have Trump as the candidate, you’ve lost the base, and nothing else will matter.

Remember when Sarah Palin cut short her governorship to run as VP

Yes

how the FReepers condemned and hated her for doing that?

No.

Because it didn't happen

[cableguymn]

Neither will DeSantis. Tho' I wish he could. And no other potential candidates so far will do anything except splat like a mosquito against the cheating demoncrap cheatmobile.
There are Trumptards vowing to never vote for DeSantis.
There are DeSantards vowing to never vote for Trump.
And there are Paleotards like me vowing to never vote for fatso from nj, or pence, or that weird fag from MD, or Nikki...
bingo. just the way democrats what it.

[hcmama]

And Sarah Palin ran for VP and continued to be governor of ALaska.

[Chgogal]

Nor will DeSantis.

[Chgogal]

DeSantis won’t win either.

[bigdaddy45]

It never takes the cultists long to show up.

[momincombatboots]

Hey…. He didn’t don’t pay big pharma and big healthcare for nothing. While non essential workers were left in the dirt.
Throw in his mail in ballots and bumpstock ban and that’s 4d chess baby.

[bigdaddy45]

You’re right. Nobody did anything. Maybe next time we should storm the Capital when they’re counting the votes.

[Pajamajan]

It's pretty pathetic, if it's true, that Desantis would run against Trump at this critical time in our history, and knowing how close we are to losing this country forever.

Are Desantis and Never Trumpers really so clueless? They need to WTF UP!

Perhaps General Flynn can explain the stakes to them? https://youtu.be/SeQrvEdmXDk

[JoSixChip]

You’re right. Nobody did anything. Maybe next time we should storm the Capital when they’re counting the votes.

I don't see your point, other then you swallow the msm description of what happened on Jan 6th. There were more then a million Trump supporters there. A tiny percentage went in at the coaxing of antifa and the FBI. But they went in and acted respectfully for the most part. But ya, they were trying to do something. What did you do?

[Obadiah]

And there are Paleotards like me vowing to never vote for fatso from nj, or pence, or that weird fag from MD, or Nikki...

Bwahahahahahah...

So I just discovered I think I'm a Paleotard.

[JoSixChip]

I like Gop canidates who don’t attack from the left and side with groomer Disney.

For future reference: When you start with lies, I generally just write you off as a loser. Consider yourself written off.

[kdot]

I agree. Trump is MAGA and we’re a strong voting block. Everybody else is playing politics.

[Jim Noble]

This is a pathetic, ridiculous ad.

[central_va]

Desantis is little prick. Many will not forget what he is doing. F him. Is he MAGA or not? He as fraud and fake. A RINO trojan horse.

[Dilbert San Diego]

LOL.
