DeSantis: If Election Is a Referendum on Documents by a Mar-A-Lago Toilet Republicans Will Lose
Breitbart ^ | 7 Aug 2023 | PAM KEY

Posted on 08/07/2023 10:49:19 AM PDT by conservative98

Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) said on NBC’s “Today” that if the 2024 election is a referendum on former President Donald Trump’s legal cases, the Republican Party will lose.

DeSantis said, “If the election is a referendum on Joe Biden’s policies and the failures that we’ve seen, and we’re presenting a positive vision for the future, we will win the presidency and we will have a chance to turn the country around. If on the other hand, the election is not about January 20, 2025, but January 6, 2021, or what document was left by the toilet at Mar-a-Lago, if it’s a referendum on that, we are going to lose. That’s just the reality.”

Reporter Dasha Burns said, “But you know with Trump in the race that is largely what it is going to be about and not fighting against Joe Biden, you are fighting against Trump.”

DeSantis said, “That’s not a pathway for success for the Republican Party. I think a lot of our voters understand that.”

Burns asked, “Yes or no, did Donald Trump lose the 2020 election?”

DeSantis said, “Whoever puts their hand on the Bible on January 20 every four years is the winner.”

Burns said, “But respectfully, you did not clearly answer that question and if you can’t give a yes or no whether or not Trump lost–”

DeSantis said, “Of course he lost.”

Meatball is too nice. GoofBall seems to fit.

GOPe loses a lot because of this kind of guy. Most of the GOP in the Senate are losers like this that you can’t ever get rid of.

Newsflash: DeSantis is right.

By hook or by crook, Biden is in the White House, and that means Trump lost.

Deal with it, or prepare to lose again!

Maybe Republicans need to get better at cheating if we want to win.

“DeSantis is the very definition of why you don’t listen to consultants.”

Consultants, especially political consultants, are the biggest ripoff.

LOL.

DeSantis like Trump will lose in 2024. The Dems will cheat in 2024 like they did in 2020. There is no “or”. So, deal with it.

Yes, Trump did lose, Biden is President.

Of course, what Trump lost wasn’t an election. He lost what has now replaced elections in the US, namely, power struggles.

Elections?!?! So yesterday. It isn’t about votes anymore. It’s about the game. It is about trying to figure out how to rig it and who can do it better.

From that standpoint, yes, Trump lost.

I think many on the right miss that.

Wow, Desantis’ desperation for relevance and to appease his establishment money men is making Cruz and Rubio’s desperation in the 16 campaign look good.

He’ll be in the single digits in every single poll shortly.

I am glad there is at least one Trump supporter than agrees with me. We need to get better at hooking and crooking…..

Peace.

You wouldn’t have to look any farther than Trump who has lost every time Hillary wasn’t on the ballot.

Another DeSantis supporter who thinks Joe Biden really won.

My governor continues to say the wrong things at the wrong time.

He is worse than DJT!

I am curious about why so many Freepers who think DeSantis’ campaign is “crashing” care about it so much. If he has no chance, why give him any attention at all?

Do you care that about Asa Hutchinson’s campaign? From what nonsense people are posting, DeSantis has less of a chance. So if you feel like the nomination is already a done deal, why not ignore everyone?

The truth is, everyone knows that since no votes have been cast, Trump may not be coronated after all... and you honestly fear the most conservative candidate.

He was the best governor Florida had, and he made a big mistake by associating himself with swamp creatures..Bush swamp creatures, he is making the same mistake Trump made by bringing in neocons into the White House to serve with him, now DeSantis is making the same mistake

He was the best Governor in American History and squandered it.

He hasn’t squandered anything, he’s just trying to be honest by admitting that Trump lost, and Biden is now in the White House. Those are facts. Those that claim Trump won are living in a fantasy land. They’re stuck in their fantasy for 2024 as well. DeSantis is just trying to wake them up from their dream, before Biden wins again.

Ron, you have lost my vote. STOP WORKING TO LOSE MORE!

To win it back, I suggest that you change the direction you have taken and stop making ridiculous comments. You sound like a Damn Demoncrat!

The election was stolen. That is why DJT “lost.”

It is OK to question the steal. If not investigated, the nation loses.

INVESTIGATE THE DOJ AND FBI FIRST. THEN, JUSTICE WILL PREVAIL.

You are not paying attention. “Ballot harvesting,” enabled the addition of enough votes for Biden to win.
Nobody talks about the movie, “2000 Mules.”

“did not great cert. in those cases.”

WTF are you talking about?

So..in your opinion, changing election laws outside of the state legislatures is OK according to you right?

What part of unconstitutional dont you understand?

Boy, he is tripling down on left wing talking points.

Sounds like Rove or Mike Murphy.

He’s now on par with Cristie. Next thing you know he’ll making a surprise visit to Ukraine.
