>> In 2016 we understood and accepted this. “I’m not voting for a saint. I’m voting for a fighter!” was a popular sentiment...............Fast-forward to now
Between “2016” and “now” *somehow* (cough, cough TDS) you managed to “fast-forward” over four years of President Trump’s major accomplishments in Making America Great Again, achieved in hand-to-hand combat against the sort of brutal internal foes that no president in my lifetime has ever had to face. He never gave in! Never gave up! AND HE STILL HAS NOT GIVEN UP. In spite of the personal risk and cost to himself.
It’s that ability to not only FIGHT but also to ACHIEVE that “we” the discerning conservatives prize in President Trump. He’s got the heart and soul of a lion... unmatched by any of the tweedledee-tweedledum retail pols that are running (miserably) against him.
(... meanwhile “we” watch Ron DeDumazz and observe that he can’t even run a freaking campaign...)
Let me ask you this:
Trump has been the leader of the Republican Party on a national level since his election in 2016. Are the Democrats today more powerful or less powerful than they were in 2016?
DeSantis has been the leader of the Republican Party in Florida since 2018. Are the Democrats in Florida today more powerful or less powerful than they were in 2018?
That's the difference. One man (who is an actual conservative) fights and achieves.
The other man (an old New York liberal) just gets beat up.
