Ron DeSantis mocks Donald Trump for failing to stop ‘stolen’ 2020 election
Florida Politics ^ | 10.14.23 | A.G. Gancarski

'Why didn't Trump do something about it?' An incredulous Ron DeSantis is yet again addressing the former President’s contention that the 2020 election was “stolen,” saying that’s an “untenable position.”

Speaking at the New Hampshire Institute of Politics’ “Politics and Eggs” event, the Florida Governor didn’t hold back when asked to evaluate Donald Trump’s ongoing contention that he didn’t lose fairly to Joe Biden.

“If that is true, he was the sitting President of the United States and let that happen to him. I would never let that happen. As Governor, would I just sit there and let something like that happen?”

DeSantis wondered “why didn’t Trump do something about it.”

“And if you didn’t do something in 2020, how are you going to solve that problem? As a private citizen rage tweeting from Mar-A-Lago? There’s just no way. So I think it’s an untenable position that he’s taken,” he added.

When the puppet strings are cut, this is what you are left with.

I’m liking this guy less and less. Desperation shows his true character. If he had any wisdom, he would have waited his turn, til 2028. Now he’s trying to save face, but he’s just making people dislike him.

RE: He’s done.

I didn’t hate him at the outset, just was willing to listen to his ideas and see if he could be my 2nd best after Trump.

In Pat Buchanan’s book The Greatest Comeback: How Richard Nixon Rose from Defeat to Create the New Majority he detailed how Nixon set aside his shortcomings and sincerely did everything he could to promote and support his many rivals in the GOP. He made friends and some people later owed him favors. Reagan backed him. From refraining from cutting down those who belittled him he actually got the GOP nomination and won two terms.

That is the path for the rivals of Trump. If he goes to prison or gets assassinated (God forbid) we need these minor leaguer backups.

Also, vying to be VP is important. The terrible trashing and badmouthing eliminates possibilities and leads America to having lousy VPs in many elections. Actually Harris badmouthed Biden before she was forced out of the election by no more donations and getting 5% popularity in polls. Lucky she was a black woman on the checklist. Too bad for us she could be Prez.

When Mar-a-Lago was raided, he was extremely silent. That was my first clue that there’s something not quite right with him. He shouldn’t be trusted.

Trump did nothing to prove the election was stolen. He never even addressed the country about it.

DeSantis is looking a little "puffy" like he's chubbed up, and "sleeping one off". Doesn't look too healthy.

His campaign is over. So his campaign diet is also over.

Back to Fatboy Meatball.

He will probably blimp up like Gore did.

Amazingly obtuse comment.

At least Youngkin assembled an army of volunteers to watch the polling places.

Trump signed off on Pelosi's CARES Act that mailed out millions of untraceable ballots, stupidly told his voters not to use them, and then cried about it all on Twitter.

He did absolutely nothing to stop the steal.

Post 15 sums it up. That treasonous prick sealed he blocked every attempt to expose the steal. He stayed until the last day so he could do so.
