Trump Shreds DeSantis: He ‘Can’t Win the General Election’ Because of Record on Entitlement Programs
Breitbart ^ | 05/24/2023 | NICK GILBERTSON

Posted on 05/24/2023 8:49:46 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Former President Donald Trump blasted Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) ahead of his presidential campaign launch on Wednesday, asserting he would be doomed to fail in the general election after voting to overhaul entitlement programs when he was a congressman.

Trump, the leading Republican presidential candidate, took to Truth Social to hit DeSantis’s support of legislation that took aim at Social Security and Medicare during his time in Congress :

I’m not talking about the sentiments of Freepers. I’m referring to the articles posted here with links to external polls.

Sadly, he might, thus proving that this is all about him.

It DOESN’T MATTER. Polling this early in a race is irrelevant.

“Former President Donald Trump blasted Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) ahead of his presidential campaign launch on Wednesday, asserting he would be doomed to fail in the general election after voting to overhaul entitlement programs when he was a congressman.”

While that is absolutely true, it’s also certainly a hypothetical assessment.

DeSantis will not be the 2024 nominee. And he’ll burn down what’s left of GOP esprit de corps trying.

Alas, he is just another Ted Cruz or Marco Rubio. Doomed to the ash heap of GOP wannabes.

“Trump had another full-fledged spittle-flecked breakdown on Truth Social this morning about DeSantis— complete with random spelling and punctuation and later shrieking in all caps.”

You mean....this one?

“Ron DeSanctus can’t win the General Election (or get the Nomination) because he VOTED TO OBLITERATE SOCIAL SECURITY, EVEN WANTING TO RAISE THE MINIMUM AGE TO 70 (or more!), VOTED TO BADLY WOUND MEDICARE, AND FOUGHT HARD AND VOTED FOR A 23% “TAX ON EVERYTHING” SALES TAX. He was, and is, a disciple of horrible RINO Paul Ryan, and others too many to mention. Also, he desperately needs a personality transplant and, to the best of my knowledge, they are not medically available yet. A disloyal person!

Say what you want about the guy, but that kind of internet flaming will make me crawl over volcanic ash to support Trump. LOL.

“So when the money eventually runs out”

Uncle Fed...that feckless pu$$y...won’t let that happen. He will generate as much money as needed to keep the Republic afloat.

Until the market will tolerate no more.

The debt of the US will never be paid.

Never.

And there will be a day when it is, by necessity, repudiated. That will be coincident with regime change.

Wake up, drink some coffee, and kick start the brain. THE SINGLE BIGGEST AND MOST RELIABLE VOTING BLOCK IN EVERY ELECTION ARE THE SENIORS. IF YOU TALK ABOUT CUTTING THEIR BENEFITS, IT IS KNOWN AS THE 3RD RAIL IN POLITICS. MAYBE YOU ARE TOO YOUNG TO KNOW THAT PHRASE.

I guess you are not a conservative.

Entitlement reform is meant to keep the programs solvent, not cut benefits for those getting them or soon to get them.

But you and your leftist Trump keep using Democrat talking points to attack the only true conservative in the race who has implemented conservative policies.

FYI - Lefty Trump had nice words about Rick Scott entering the race even though he talked about entitlement reform just last year.

Trump is hypocrite and keeps taking leftist positions on issues. He is another RINO.

Trump always attacked from the RIGHT in 2016.

He has a broader appeal than Trump

And yet, trump is leading DeSantis across the country and in FL in polling...

How do you measure that appeal?

The definitions of “left” and “right” completely lost their meaning on many issues in 2016.

Trump was the first presidential candidate in my lifetime who openly opposed his own party’s platform on import issues — such as immigration and foreign trade.

It's only DeSantis

Only DeSantis is a threat to a Trump win. No point in going after people that have 4% in polling. You fish by going where the fish are.

Yet now he kisses up to groomer Disney, and he hired Globalist after Globalist. I question his hiring judgement, and his sucking up to the antichrist media.

Trump like to nail knicknames on others.

Here’s one for him: “One-term Donnie”.

Historically, serving Presidents are elected for a second term. .

Donnnie couldn’t even do that.

Your fact checks are just like the left......coming from a biased source.

You are no different than CNN.
