Can neither Trump nor DeSantis field a team without GOPe tentacles?

“””Cortes wrote: “Conservatives should welcome the deal that the GOP House negotiated against an obstinate Biden Administration… this agreement represents a worthy deal that should receive the support of patriotic populists.””””

Cortes has made some strange moves in the past few weeks.

How much money and from whom did it take for Cortes to begin singing new songs?????

I hope that is true. I posted this as a reply to one of his posts on Truth Social. We shall see, though I have no reason to doubt Raheem's reporting. But confirmation is always wise to do anyway.

Great post BTW, if it is true. 🙂

You can bet DeSantis was following the advice of his GOPe handlers. Just proves that he hitched his wagon to the wrong team of horses. His numbers will continue sliding down with this blunder. It's not only a major blunder, it's an extremely devasting blunder.

Better that people who support him find out now, rather than later, for the sake of the country.

DeSantis tweeted on Sunday: “Our country is careening toward bankruptcy..."

We're there, Dude.

Start talking about how to begin repairs - starting with beheading a few of your donors, unfortunately. /s

DeSantis is about to find out that he’s surrounded by backstabbers just as Trump is.

If you have a “spokesperson” their statement should align perfectly with your policy. So, does DeSantis have a spokesperson or a handler?

this is the actual news — what did the candidate say? But the endless spinning by SoConPubbie makes for a better Free Republic narrative

here’s the truth

*****
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis attacked the bipartisan deal to raise the debt ceiling Monday, saying the country was “careening towards bankruptcy” and criticizing the “massive” amount of spending in the deal, as DeSantis’ top rival for the 2024 GOP presidential primary—former President Donald Trump—remains mum on the agreement.

In an interview with Fox News’ Fox & Friends, DeSantis aligned himself with some members of the hard-right House Freedom Caucus who do not support the agreement to hold non-military spending flat at 2023 levels—which many Republicans believed were too high.

DeSantis said the U.S. government’s spending habits have been out of control since the pandemic began, and argued that sticking with the Covid-19-prompted budget levels would be “totally inadequate” to get the country in a better spot.

“In Washington D.C. they do these cycles to just get them through the next election and that’s ultimately one of the reasons why they continue to fail,” DeSantis said of the debt ceiling during the Fox & Friends interview.

DeSantis — telling the truth that makes most posters on FreeRepublic twist like pretzels as they try to spin a talking point.

It’s a CRAP SANDWICH deal!! Just look at how HAPPY BIDEN is!

Yale doublespeak.

Frenchy Kerry: I was for the war before I was against.

Same deal with Ron and the Ukraine.

He was against it, before he was for it.

Professional politicians just can’t help themselves, they want it both ways.
