Far-Left MSNBC Host Reveals Why She Prefers Trump Over DeSantis in Illuminating Segment
RedState ^ | July 11, 2023 | Sister Toldjah

Posted on 07/11/2023 10:01:55 AM PDT by chickenlips

With the mainstream media and Political Pundit World busy essentially declaring Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ 2024 presidential campaign over not even two months after he formally announced, what’s an excitable MSNBC host to do?

Tell us who the left really fears, that’s what.

As RedState has previously reported, in their own not-so-unique but nevertheless illuminating way, members of the press, their allies on the left, as well as the truuuuue conservatives at the Lincoln Project, have been busy bees over the last year and a half or so telling us how DeSantis is “worse than Trump” because DeSantis in their view, is – to paraphrase – former President Donald Trump “without the baggage.”

DeSantis is smarter, he’s savvier, more disciplined, and knows exactly how the government works, they’ve also said in so many words, making him in their opinion a far more worrisome figure than Trump because deep down they know he’s consistently demonstrated that he understands how to beat Woke, Inc. at their own games – and without breaking much of a sweat in the process.

Now, to be fair, this is also how some of DeSantis’ defenders on the right have spoken of him. But when they have done it, it’s been to portray those points as positives not negatives. The woke left, on the other hand, obviously sees them as “dangerous” negatives and so much so that they’re willing to go back on every nasty thing they ever said about Trump in order to make sure he’s the guy Biden faces in the fall election next year, not DeSantis.

Case in point, MSNBC’s Katie Phang, who filled in for Chris Hayes on the “All In” program Monday night. In a discussion about “mini fascist” DeSantis, Phang made it more than clear where she stood:

Of course the Dems prefer Trump as the nominee. He energizes their left loon base beyond comprehension in both turnout and donations, and he has turned off a significant segment of his potential voters, harming himself and other Republican candidates on the ballot. Even if he doesn't get the nomination he and his rabid supporters will damage the nominee beyond hope. The MSM and Dems have to keep him at the top.

The DeSantis camp is pushing this clip as “proof” their guy should be the nominee.

I say it’s a Br’er Rabbit moment by the left. “Oh, please, Republicans, don’t nominate Ron DeSantis!”

This feels like a “Don’t throw me in the briar patch” gambit.

“I prefer Candidate A because Candidate B is so incredibly awesome that my team would definitely lose to him. So I sure hope the other team chooses Candidate A. I like Candidate A very much. Because I think he’s a loser.”

They will even take Trump over anyone that stands up to the rainbow.
So maybe DeSantis will serve some purpose after all.

Trump is ahead of meatball by a whopping 39 points in latest poll I saw this morning. Meat ball is toast.

You need to keep up with polls from RCP.
Biden beats meatball in every poll.
Trump and Biden are split half and half.

Sorry chum, I value RCP polls more than your opinions.

Dems and RINO’s will always oppose Trump.

And if they try and use a reverse psychology gimmick like this, they think how they can beat Trump in 2024. If not sooner.

Put it this way - they are drooling at the chance to steal another election from Trump.

So you are arguing we keep going with the GOPe handpicked candidates and to keep eating the sh1t sandwiches they serve us? No thanks - the GOP can wander in the wilderness until they actually start working for the base instead of the donor class.
