I can’t wait to vote DeSantis!

No Republican will set foot in the WH ever again BECAUSE voter fraud is going to be tolerated.

I’d bet $75,000 that Trump will not win in 2024. Game?

Lol

Pass, I’m not a gambler.

If I lost that amount of dough, my wife might divorce me for being an idiot.

You should get to choose the candidate because you know everything and everybody else should shut up and do as you say.

Check.

Why are there only 500K Truth Social members, when Trump promised 41 Million Truth Social members?

And what does that have to do with anything regarding the election. desanctomonious never built anything in his life, never even tried.

And what does that have to do with anything regarding the election.

Plenty. Unlike poll numbers for an election more than a year away, the number of active members on Trumps's Truth Social platform is a realistic gauge of his most avid political support.

Trump promised the Digital World (DWAC) financial backers there would be 41 Million Truth Social members. In a big ocean of overstated projection, there are only 500K active Truth Social members (500K = 1.2% of Trump's promised members).

Tuesday, Sept. 5 requires 65% of votes in favor of stringing along the partnership for another year. Otherwise, DWAC faces liquidation September 8. Liquidation requires DWAC to compensate its shareholders about $300 million.

There are poll numbers, and there is cold, hard reality that Trump's Truth Social financial backers are facing liquidation this week.

That is the stupidest thing I have ever read on FR. desanctomonious can’t even win his own state, or a single state in the country for that matter. So now your argument is that Truth Social is not doing as well as Trump thought it would. Well, name one business or anything at all that desanctomonious has built? You freaks are just so desperate you’ll stoop to any stupid argument.

[Socon-Econ]

His non-woke record speaks for itself. It’s his best way to overcome attacks from the left and Trump-only Republicans.

[NautiNurse]

That is the stupidest thing I have ever read on FR.

LOL! The math for Trump's grossly overstated support is simply beyond your comprehension, Einstein.

Truth Social was an absolute failure, from day one, and it has never been able to recover.

Gotta love the perpetual infighting. "DeSantis should have done this. DeSantis should have done that." "You suck!" "No, YOU suck!" What a waste of time and energy. The usual naysayers on another thread I just flagged were complaining that "politicians should act like adults". Looks to me that that idea could do a lot of good right here on FR.

Kevin Williamson is a seriously anti-Trump writer for the National Review, last I saw. A pity too, because I liked the subjects he covered and his journalistic style, until he came out as a beltway stooge, along with most of the other folks at National Review. I cancelled my sub back in late 2015 and haven't read anything from any of them ever since.

So it would not be surprising that his motives here are at least partially drawn from wanting to bolster someone who might pose a threat to Trumps current dominance among the current GOP primary candidates. Nevertheless, much of what he says here is indeed the case. DeSantis has been the best governor of any state I've lived in for my 62 years. Along with a strong coalition of Republicans in Tallahassee, he has done much good in Florida, and will continue to do so.

After Trump, DeSantis is the only good choice.

Only problem is you can not go to school to acquire charisma and likability. You either have it or you don’t. That is DeSantis’s problem.

House insurance is a rip-off. You can do lots of repairs with money paid out in premiums.

If you have no mortgage, you can drop house insurance. I did that and can’t be happier. My risk is very small, my reward is immediate and substantial.

If Florida gets one like the 1926 Hurricane in Miami, it could throw the state into depression, just like the 1926 one did. Florida was booming in the 1920s because it hit, and it went into a depression for many years after.

s/b Florida was booming in the 1920s before it hit

Best post in this thread!

Notice your post offers a big fat zero of substance to a, intelligent discussion.

Trump promised his financial backers 41 million Truth Social members. The question is whether he knew 41 million was big fat bogus from the start.

Nurses are adept at math. We use it for calculating stuff like medication dosages. You, on the other hand, should stick with brushing your dog's teeth.
