Yep. He was following Trump’s advice till he and his advisors saw that the advice was flawed.

Whatever money is trickling in, he’s probably setting it aside for 2028. Hopefully though, he’s burned his bridges, and whatever political future he may have once had, has gone down the toilet like his Presidential campaign. I’ll never vote for the guy.

The problem is that all four years of the Trump administration was marked by Trump being utterly oblivious concerning who he was filling his administration with. If it was just Fauci that would be one thing, but it was almost every single person he hired or nominated.

I see you have never had any interaction with civil service. What would be cause? A licensed doctor disagrees with a non medical President? Seriously? In DC? Good grief they had to pass a law to get rid of VA workers who had been abusing our vets for years and now Biden brought them back.

BS? Please point out what DeSantis said that wasn’t factual. Even Trump is not perfect.

Yes, Trump made mistakes, he found out how the Deep State works, the hard way. Perhaps that was the purpose of his first term, to shine the light on the cockroaches.

Can Trump fire Fauci? Technically, no
https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/13/politics/can-trump-fire-fauci/index.html
Under federal law, Trump doesn’t have the power to directly fire Fauci, a career civil servant, and remove him from government. And while Trump could try ordering his political appointees to dismiss the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Fauci could appeal – a time-consuming process.

Not to mention what a bone headed move it would have been to try with the country in a panic already. Trump sidelined Fauci, brought in other people and refused to mandate. That was the prudent way to handle the situation.

How would he have done that with the entire country worshipping Fauci? You are looking back at it based on what is known now.

This is not DU!

Discuss the issues all you wish, BUT DO NOT MAKE IT PERSONAL!

Remember to use common courtesy when posting to FR. Leave off the insults and flames, name calling, etc.

We are conservatives. Be respectful to your debate adversary (fellow FReeper). For example, do not accuse them of being a “Putinista”, “commrade”, “murderer”, “baby-killer”, etc, just because he may have a difference of opinion whether or not the US government should be involved in a controversial foreign war where we were not attacked.

Likewise, things in the presidential primary are getting over-heated. We want to be sure we come out of this with a Republican president, house and senate. The only way we can accomplish that is to unify the Republican Party. We can’t destroy our own candidates. Whoever it is will need to pull us ALL together. Keep the ultimate goal in sight - Freedom! We are not here to fight each other. We are here as allies to fight for God, family, country, and FREEDOM! As William Wallace said in Brave Heart, “Unite the clans!”.

Your personal favorite may be Ron DeSantis, mine happens to be President Trump. But if DeSantis receives the nomination, I’ll support him, as I hope most other FReepers will.

Incidentally, we are getting way too much profanity. This is NOT DU, this is NOT CNN - (in deep voice) this IS FR!

Finally, if someone says STOP, then STOP! If someone asks you to take them off your ping list, then take them off! If someone asks you to stop posting to them, the adult and polite thing to do is to accommodate them.

Thank you all very much, and God bless you.

Thanks Tex. I’ve tried to report JoSix Chip but nothing everhappens. She/he is one of the worst.

“The truth hurts. It’s a fact you are a rat traitor, you and pence both.”

If you are going to be viscious and violate FR rules, do it right:

You are a beslubbering flap-mouthed puttock.
You are a mewling tickle-brained miscreant.
You are a qualling knotty-pated ratsbane.
You are a venomed mammering footlicker.
