DeSantis says Trump not only didn’t fulfill major promise, it got worse
Fox News ^ | 7/16/23 | Jessica Chasmar

Posted on 07/16/2023 3:26:33 PM PDT by DallasBiff

Republican presidential candidate Gov. Ron DeSantis rattled off a list of what he deemed to be broken 2016 campaign promises by former President Donald Trump, saying he’d rather attack the GOP front-runner on the issues than personality.

"Substantively, we've been very frank about our differences with respect to the former president," the Florida governor said. "I mean, for example, he promised to drain the swamp – it got worse. He did not drain the swamp.

"He promised to have Mexico pay for a border wall. They did like 50 miles of wall. There's massive expanses still there," he continued. "He said he was going to eliminate the national debt. They added almost $8 trillion to the debt in four years.

"And of course, in 2020, he turned the country over to Dr. [Anthony] Fauci, and those lockdowns and the borrowing and printing really set us on a bad course," he added. "I've been very, very frank at that."

So the plan is for Trump to hide from the debates, and tell his snake poem at every rally for the next 12 months, and still win the primary? Not sure that’s gonna work. If it does, it shows Reputation voters are now as shallow as Democrats.

Who knows? Regardless he is going to be the nominee anyway. Sit back and relax. MAGA.

Oy. Bots have no sense of humor, nor do they recognize sarcasm.

Who is everyone? Everyone in DC. Does he and others not have the right to protest?

You do know everyone told Ron meatball DeSantis not to run because it would be a big mistake. See what happened? He should have known better. He went from tool to fool real quick.

“Why isn’t this globalist stooge announcing THAT plan?”

Hopefully, the attendants at the mental institution you escaped from will soon find you.

Is that where he learned to betray people who go out of their way to help him?

Kind of like how those J6 prisoners feel about Trump? Or us voters who wanted Billary locked up (instead of Trump), or Mexico to pay for a wall (instead of us being flooded), or the swamp to be drained (instead of strengthened).

I’d say DeSantis just realized that whatever Trump promised, the opposite is what actually happens in the end, so Trump needs to go before things get any worse. I know that’s how I feel now.

“Beautiful Hillary” just doesn’t work the same as all the others. Hopefully he will stick with it though since it shows how phony he is. Superficial at best.

“I know that’s how I feel now.”

Because feelings are important when it comes to the future of America. All Democrats rely on feelings more than logic and intellect.

Are you accusing me of being a Democrat, because I don’t believe Trump is a conservative, or worth supporting anymore because he’s no better than a Democrat in many regards? You’re really reaching now.

In this interview, DeSantis gave LOGICAL reasons why Trump failed on his promises, and I’ve given many more. In response, about all I’ve gotten back is personal attacks. Your posts are all attempting to claim that I have no sense of humor, am emotion based, but you’ve given nothing to dispute all Trump’s failures. I see no logic in that, just an admission he did fail in all those regards, but it upsets you to be reminded, so shoot the messenger.

Got anything more than a photoshop to tie DeSantis to Soros?

https://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/roger-stone-tweets-then-deletes-fake-soros-conspiracy-photoshop-to-attack-desantis-aide

And what has Trump ever done to fight Soros? DeSantis has been outspoken in his opposition to him, and even took action.

Is it true Trump even took a $150 million dollar loan from Soros, he never had to pay back, and that Kushner is involved with Soros now?

“Are you accusing me of being a Democrat”

Definitely not. But your handlers are — or worse. You’re just doing your job.

This is a 3 min clip that covers what Donald Trump actually said. I think he explains himself very well.

Well, poster who uses leftist fact check sites as authoritative sources, and doesn’t respond to fact based rebuttal, I calls ‘em like I sees ‘em.

So I’m not a Democrat, but I have “handlers” LOL. Oh really? Such as? That’s really funny, because those who really know me know that I am a very independent thinker, who does a lot of research on his own, to form very knowledgeable opinions. But it appears you have nothing but projection, and attempts at insults again. Where is your defense of Trump, on all the failures DeSantis and I have mentioned in this thread? Nothing you can come up with, still?
