'Voters are going to get behind us in ways that are probably bigger than we've seen in the last 20 or 25 years as Republicans.' Florida’s Governor is looking to a former California Governor as an antecedent for his current presidential run.
During an interview on Wisconsin’s Mark Belling Show, Ron DeSantis suggested his candidacy could be the modern version of the 1980 election that saw Ronald Reagan defeat Democrat Jimmy Carter.
“What I would just tell folks out there listening is Biden is kind of like Jimmy Carter. When Reagan came on the scene, the country lost confidence in Carter. They were willing to go in a different direction. I think we’re in the same place with Biden,” DeSantis contended.
“And I think if we offer a candidate like me who has a record of achievement and a positive vision, I think these voters are going to get behind us in ways that are probably bigger than we’ve seen in the last 20 or 25 years as Republicans...

You don’t know that for a fact because it isn’t true, he didn’t like Reagan and supported Carter and never voted for Reagan.
At least you dropped the claim that Reagan liked Trump back.
So you’ve never heard our President speak? Try listening to what the man says, not through the lense of MSNBC, CNN, and Politico.
Excuse me?
What did I state in my reply to your photos that had ANYTHING to do with Jim’s rules?
(But you’re fulfilling it right now, calling me petty, insular and other accusations.)
All I said was there is not much resemblance and Trump did that better than Reagan. How is that connected to “calling me out” or name-calling?
IOW, your reply here was a non-sequitur.
I never watch CNN or MSNBC and I don’t really know what Politico is.
Sorry, shaking hands in reception lines isn’t proof of even agreeing with each other or having friendship.
I never even claimed he worked for Reagan. He never worked for anyone other than his father, that I know of.
You lost me, someone told you Trump worked for Reagan?
Alright, now I'm going to ask you to prove you claim.
At least you dropped the claim that Reagan liked Trump bac
I dropped nothin, I merely stated that I know I've read it before, and no not from Trump, but I can't find it anymore. But then again they play games with the search engines anymore.
Prove what, that Trump and his family maxed out donations to Carter and Trump never voted for Reagan?
How can you be so passionate about this and never have researched that?
All I can say is that Ron DeSantis will not be the nominee.
You are certainly welcome to your own opinion, but you are not welcome to your own facts. Especially when they differ from reality.
Don’t worry about that just provide your proof.
“”””Records reveal that Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump donated to the reelection campaign of Democratic President Jimmy Carter and not then-GOP candidate Ronald Reagan, The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday. Federal Election Commission records show in 1979 Trump and his family made the maximum federal campaign contributions allowed to Carter. Trump would not make any donations to Reagan for four more years. In fact, he made an early contribution to the political-action committee for former Democratic Vice President Walter Mondale’s bid for presidency just 10 months after Reagan’s 1981 inauguration.”””

“Donald Trump first registered to vote at Trump Tower in 1987, a few years after the building was completed. Since then, according to The Smoking Gun, he’s been a Republican three times, a Democrat once, a member of the Independence Party once and, for a brief period, had no party identification at all.”

You must be a Bush fan who got this nation into not 1 but 2 20 year tar-baby conflicts costing the taxpayers trillions of dollars in worthless spending. No wonder you support another globalist fanboy willing to sell out this nation for his own personal enrichment, to do the bidding of the Deep State criminal enterprise, and their creation, the Uni-party that operates illegally I might add. They are an undeclared party, that does act in unison more often than not under the cover of being bi-partisan. But that subterfuge no longer carries water because it's always the Republican Party that caves to the Democrat Party providing them the win which adds another nail into the coffin of this nation.
I didn’t claim anything. Just stated your reception line photos prove nothing.
And what sources do you trust? Purely biased conservative blogs like National Pulse or World Net Daily?
Seriously, what sources do we trust?
No question even WSJ is prejudiced but only a bit. The others...well, prejudiced, but I doubt they’d be interested in hurting Trump by bolstering Reagan.
Wrong, stated the opposite & I would agree. They are only not biased a bit, and that is based mainly upon the author of the piece.
I am more likely to accept their pieces, for sure but I disagree with them at times as well.
Do not kid yourself, they will do whatever it takes to disparage Trump, including heaping love, adoration & praise upon Nixon.
You believe what you believe because of what you read in the news, because they will never tell you the beautiful acts of kindness he has done. There have been many of them. But no, I will not take the time to go search for them right now.
I would have thought Covid would have been a wake up for many, by the many unmitigated lies they published. Further exacerbated by the lies regarding the 2020 election. Claiming that Trump was denying the election, while ignoring that they denied that Trump won fairly in 2016 election. They even went as far as ignoring all of the Democrat contesting numerous elections throughout the years. Such as the State of Hawaii being called for Nixon.
This was the first presidential election (1960) in which Hawaii participated; the state had been admitted to the Union just over a year earlier. The islands favored Senator John F. Kennedy, a Democrat, by a narrow margin of 115 votes, or 0.06%, after a court-ordered recount overturned an initial result favoring Vice President Richard Nixon.
That was before electronical voting machines were introduced. Strangely enough, it was the Democrats who complained about the electronic voting machines first.
I had to work to get to that story buried until you finally come across the correct search arguments to use to get what you want.
You should have paid more attention when all this was front and center 8 years ago.
You can denigrate the man all you want, but you can't produce a better man. I think you actually see that fact, but are afraid to face the truth. Yu also are afraid to face the fact that Ron DeSantis is a steaming pile. You'll find that out the hard way.
Say goodbye to your country, because it will fall into tyranny, and you will have helped it get there. You still believe you live in the land of the free & the home of the brave. You deserve the consequences for having paid very little attention to reality, and instead bought into the propaganda that evil was spewing forth.
You are the one who should have paid attention. When you realize that, it will be too late. As Klaus Schwab has told you repeatedly, you will have nothing & you will enjoy it. If you think those are just idle words, or that it is an impossible dream on his part, you will be in for a very rude awakening indeed. Yes we can defeat the evil, but it won't be done by division. You are supporting that division. You are supporting that evil. You are even supporting the thefts of our elections & casting your support behind those who have helped with those thefts. They supported those thefts because Donald Trump was a direct threat to them.
As for me, I am tired of trying to make those who refuse to see, see the truth. You had better wake up for your sake, and the sake of your loved ones, not mine.
What a nutty post, a bizarre rant, just ramblings that you made up and have nothing to do with my post about Reagan regarding Trump in the 1980s.
Your imagination took off and you are creating an elaborate fake exchange and positions for me from your mind.
You really are not the sharpest tool as you believe yourself to be.
This will be my last communication with you, because it just a waste of time.
