DeSantis suggests Trump is ‘adopting Joe Biden’s basement strategy’

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, a GOP candidate for president in 2024, on Sunday went after former President Trump for not showing up to the GOP debates, suggesting Trump was “adopting Joe Biden’s basement strategy.”

“With all due respect to Donald Trump, we’re not going to beat the Democrats by adopting Joe Biden’s basement strategy,” DeSantis said in an interview on Fox News’s “Sunday Morning Futures.”

Deover said what?

After the sheer political idiocy of giving Biden and the Democrats political cover for the inflation mess they created, Deover is finished in GOP politics

And you can’t hold a meaningful conversation?

Is that what you call your pointless drivel? Ya, I want no part of it. Came back when you have something, anything at all to say that shows intelligence beyond a 5 year old.

DeSantis sounds more and more desperate. To say Trump is hiding in the basement because he doesn’t see the need to “debate” the others is just plain childish. Trump is not hiding in the basement but is campaigning and holding events unlike Biden when he hid in the basement. But this shows DeSantis’ childishness because he isn’t getting what he wants. I used to like DeSantis but the more he opens his mouth and the more I see from his campaign, he strikes me as just another GOPe.

Desperate, but not serious.

That’s a hell of a big basement. I’ve never seen a basement that can hold so many people.

Good point. Whatever Trump’s doing, it’s a lot more effective than what DeSantis is doing.

Poor Ron is lamenting that he did not get the huge crowd in a ‘before unknown Iowa town’ today and the huge crowds that Trump gets at every town he visits.

Ron, you need to come back to Florida where you were once appreciated and MAYBE we will find a way to forgive your being conned by anti-Trump operatives to run against the MAGA Champion.

Lol.

He’s out there everywhere with the biggest crowds.

Ludicrous assertion by Desantis.

“ Read the article, DeSantis is talking about Trump getting out and actually campaigning on the ground.”

Lol.

You funny.

I guess Trump has the worlds largest basement as his rallies often have 50000+ attending, not including the ones waiting outside. I bet all of the other rino candidates have not had 50000 people attending all of their rallies combined.

Trump hasn’t had many events yet, but, his events draw 5k or more depending on the venue...

Keeping track of the enemy, I’ve been occassionally checking the desantis site for events, and they seldom have been having more than a couple a week.

Which means most of the events that are on the media that desantis appears at, are all staged events, and not open ones where anyone can show up.

And searching around, the last event that I have found is this one that was a a coffee shop in grundy, where it appears there are maybe 30-40 people there, also...

Seeing how team desantis seems to have been arranging for people to show up for events, like parades and the Iowa state fair, I’d have to wonder how many were there on their own initiative...

Dan Bongino says there have been more Death Threats against Trump.
He still has contacts in the Secret Service.
That is why he is no longer doing Outdoor Venues.

Trump embarrassed himself in the first debate vs biden. He made a complete fool of himself. biden had lived in his basement and had not really campaigned. The first chance most citizens had the opportunity to hear biden speak and Trump wouldn’t let him get a word in. Made Trump look really bad and didn’t hurt biden at all.

If Trump is going to debate anyone down the road, he needs to come out of the basement and get some practice.

DeSantis is unravelling. He needs a true friend to stage an intervention.

Trump was under a lot of stress that year. But Biden was starting to decline due to his dementia. So Trump should had seized the opportunity to destroy him. He didn't do that.
