He said WE listless vessels.....as in US

[Observator]

This sort of thing happens with rock stars, but never politicians.

And not just any rock stars - we're talking high level stars like Ye and John Lennon.

Indicted, Harrased, Charged - He only descended from his Golden Mansion because of his love of US.

“This “listless” phrase took less than two seconds out of a 2+ minute response where DeSantis made some excellent points.”

Hurt my poor widdle feelings?

Are you kidding. I am laughing at how stupid DeSantis is. I don’t care if his “listless” remark took one tenth of a second. It probably took about the same amount of time as Hillary’s deplorable remark And his literary device of saying Trump’s supporters daily kiss Trump’s rear is wrapped around his neck forever. He is over.

Except that’s not what DeSantis said, though I think it’s quite telling that that’s what Trump and his supporters heard. Trump is never one to let an opportunity to play the victim go by.

You are the one who cried about the article being posted several times.
I simply suggested you cry to the Moderator since the article triggered you.
If you don’t like the article, simply move on to another one you want to read.
Or post an article that your Meatball Community might like to read.
Dont whine about the article, just move on.

ROTFLMBO!!!

That's exactly what he said.

Go back and listen to the audio and read the text.

He was talking about Trump supporters and then said we can't just be "listless vessels".

What is really telling is the dishonesty of DeSanctimonious and his supporters.

[Chgogal]

I am a strong Trump supporter, but it ain’t over until it’s over.

[Cobra64]

When was it posted? I need to go back and find it so that I can read it the first time.

How else to say, “Hey, I went to Yale” without actually saying, “Hey, I went to Yale”?

Mission accomplished. Heck of a job.

[Cobra64]

I suggest that the consultants are the ones hosing his campaign. If someone wants to run for office, why do they need a consultant? Why not a little common sense?

[Cobra64]

Can we cut the Trump vs DeSantis squabbling, insults, name calling, and instead save it for the traitorous democrats and deep state?

I haven’t seen it yet. Thanks for bumping the thread.

[dragnet2]

That implies the Republicans are not corrupt nor traitorous. We all know better. C’mon.

[teletech]

This “Listless Vessel” will happily help reelect Trump.

[Republican Wildcat]

“We have a strand in our party that views supporting Trump as whether you are a RINO or not. And so you could be the most conservative person since sliced bread. Unless you’re kissing his rear end, they will somehow call you a RINO,” DeSantis said. “Ultimately, a movement can’t be about the personality of one individual.” He then targeted Trump supporters directly, telling the outlet, “Because if you’re not rooted in principle, if all we are is listless vessels that are just supposed to follow, whatever happens, to come down the pike on Truth Social every morning, that’s not going to be a durable movement.”

That's not incorrect per se, but DeSantis' narrative since entering the race was that Trump didn't have that good of a record. So that throws the argument to the wolves that we need a candidate to carry on Trump's policies without the Trump drama. If it wasn't good, what would be the point of that? It also lets Joe Biden off the hook...also not a winning message for the general..."well, DeSantis, you yourself said Trump's policies weren't good, so all of the problems we are having are just Trump's mess I'm cleaning up."

And his literary device of saying Trump’s supporters daily kiss Trump’s rear is wrapped around his neck forever.

There's the jealousy finally kicking in.
He wishes those lips were on his rear.

>>This “listless” phrase took less than two seconds out of a 2+ minute response

And it’s meaning was clear, as clear as you can be when you’re attacking someone or something bur leave enough wiggle room to later say “That’s not what I meant”, when people call you out on it.

That’s DeSantis’s M.O. Attack the DOJ’s unequal prosecution of Trump vs Hillary, but don’t acknowledge that the indictments against Trump are actually bogus. Criticize the DOJ’s violation of J6 defendants’ due process rights, while doing nothing to challenge the left’s narrative of J6 being a coup attempt by violent Trump supporters, encouraged by Trump himself.
