There is an old saying that goes something like: if you take a shot at the king, you better not miss.

Well Ron, it seems to me like you missed. So, like it was said in my old hood (and probably still is): “duck (explitive deleted)”.

DeSantis can string together such a coalition that would enable him to claw back enough swing states to prevail. Trump cannot. At best, Trump would carry 45% of the vote in a general election.

RDS has a strong success record, tact, diplomacy, and an ability to win the respect and cooperation of allied world leaders.

Trump, on the other hand, knows threats, insults, innuendo and childish name-calling. How to lose friends and distance people.

Bannon is the personification of the word dissolute.

Given that Biden has an admitted history of using threats to pressure foreign governments to do his bidding (example: bragging about threatening to cut off $1B in aid to Ukraine if it didn’t fire the prosecutor investigating his son) I have to wonder if the reuse of senior government officials to meet with a sitting US governor might have been in part influenced by the administration warning them to brush off GOP candidates.

It was humiliating according to who, the press? According to the same press every overseas visit by President Trump was a disaster.

I have wondered why Trump has been on this ongoing one-sided campaign against DeSantis.


You’re still wondering? Isn’t it clear by now? It’s because DeSantis is going to run. He was always going to run. If party unity is important, why should DeSantis challenge a candidate he supposedly agrees with? If you’re looking for the source of party division, you’re looking in the wrong place. It’s not Trump who threatens to divide the Republican party. It’s DeSantis.

“The Trump cult is still very very scared of Ron DeSantis.”

LOL

“The Trump cult is still very very scared of Ron DeSantis.”

You’re funny, I’ll give you that. But there’s nothing to be afraid of from Ron, an uninspiring and mediocre politician - with the emphasis on “politician”. You and your fellow DeSantis cheerleaders are vicariously suffering from delusions of grandeur.

“We are told that Trump already has the nomination locked up by huge poll leads, so why not instead try to unify the Republican Party?”

Did you forget your /sarc tag? How is Trump supposed to unify the party without addressing those who are challenging him for the nomination? What do you call DeSantis throwing his hat into the ring? Is HE trying to unify the party? Or are you still in denial that DeSantis is running?

“Something doesn’t add up.”

Very true. It’s your logic.
