It is amazing how politicians are so naive in listening to their blood-$ucking consultants.
“How is it a trap? I don’t understand.”
The question is a trap. That is why the media keeps asking it. Answering it is not a winning play whether you believe it or not. It will never be proven.
Like Obama?
DeSantis is smarter than Trump. There is no re-hashing 2020.
First, whatever fraud took place has not been proven despite multiple investigations.
Second, DeSantis “fixed” many of the election problems in Florida.
Third, independent voters do not want to hear about 2020....they are suffering from the inflation started by Trump and made worse by Biden.
DeSantis sticks to the issues people care about.
Did anyone ask Trump how many weeks should a woman be allowed to grow a baby before he thinks it is not too severe to murder it?
The phrase, “Nail in his coffin”, comes to mind.
Conservatives will NOT vote for these stolen-election deniers. They just won’t.
“DeSantis is the best hope for R’s to retake the Whitehouse in 2024.”
Mr. Troll: The time has long passed when candidates are distinguished by Rs or Ds.
Most Rs now are J.V. Ds, so just having one in the White House doesn’t guarantee good things for America. We need pure MAGA. And MAGA isn’t just Trump; it’s a state of mind — an ideology.
DeSantis would be no better than W Bush.
“He didn’t shut things down or turn his administration over to Fauci.”
Yes, he did. Maybe not for as long as some governors did. Him saying FL wasn’t shut down is like Mayorkas saying the border is under control; it ain’t true. The only one who shut down nothing was Noem.
“Meatball is a slur aimed at Italians.”
Just the opposite. Who doesn’t like meatballs, or Italians? It’s a dopey nickname, but I took it to mean that he’s not far from roly-poly.
I also think DeSantis can win. He can reach out towards the center like Reagan did, as Reagan had the base locked down.
How can he now reach out towards the center when he has done so many right and far right things as governor. I don’t disagree at all with what he has done for Florida but I can’t see that getting by many center/left leaning voters.
“Why did Pres. Trump allow the Pentagon to mandate the jab which forced good people out of the military?”
You need to check the timeline as to when this happened and who was sitting in the Oval Office at the time.
(But nice try.)
I did, too.
BKMK
I wonder what happens after Trump. Who’s the conservative Messiah then?
“how does DeSantis lock-down the base?”
His goose was cooked when he wouldn’t say the election was stolen. What a doofus.
All questions from the MSM are traps, but in this instance especially so.
Let Trump carry his own luggage...
“Meatball is a slur aimed at Italians.”
Just the opposite. Who doesn’t like meatballs, or Italians? It’s a dopey nickname, but I took it to mean that he’s not far from roly-poly.
I thought it was slang for a goof....a meathead.
“I thought it was slang for a goof....a meathead.”
Maybe. LOL! If so, it was way off target.
“meathead” - bad
“meatball” - good and yummy
Your logic is solid, your conclusion is almost flawless. The problem is, then we end up with 4-8 years of George Bush. This is the old way of thinking, which has got us here in the first place. Don’t get me wrong, I like DeSantis. I do, but he is a politician. I know beyond any doubt as to how Trump will conduct himself in the Oval Office. I don’t doubt that DS would do good, but he is a politician at the end of the day, and from existing evidence, quite possibly well connected, if not part of, the GOPe.
Again, how is it a trap?
Answering it is not a winning play whether you believe it or not. It will never be proven.
How is it, not a "winning play"? I didn't think this was a game. Is it a game? How do you know it will never be proven, and why?
