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.

Ron’s done. He has ruined any chance at national office.

Why, because he dared to finally say something negative about Trump after months of Trump going negative on him? Not buying it. He'll be fine - he's the most conservative governor of any state, and he's done a great job in FL. He might not get the GOP nomination in 2024 (though we still haven't seen a primary vote take place) but that means nothing for 2028 or beyond.

No winning without trump voters.

If Trump voters would rather sit home and pout than vote for an actual conservative against Joe Biden, then they deserve what they get.

I'm not too worried about this happening though. even after a butthurt Trump endorsed Stacey Abrams for governor, Brian Kemp still brought home the MAGA vote.

If 2020 was stolen, it's because Trump went on vacation and left the garage door open.

Enlighten us on what you think Trump should have done.

Both his own party and the opposition wanted him out; specifically, what were his options?

That’s what I was thinking. I recall him saying the election wasn’t stolen. Now he thinks Trump should’ve done something about the stolen election. Wishy-washy little panty waist.

Getting to really dislike this man. Admired him as Governor of Florida.

Yeah, I think most people feel the same way.

Democrats always hated him and the rest of us have seen what a small man he really is.

The only ones who still support him are the GOPe trying to defeat President Trump and most of them probably despise him and are just using him.

If I remember right, for a while, Trump was the only person yelling the election was stolen. Sounds like folks are finally coming around to that truth.

"DeSantis is one sleazy backstabbing political hack."

He's a typical lawyer.

He’s even dumber than I thought. He tries to impress the GOPe, when all they have to offer is money. But money does not equate to votes.

“He (Nixon) made friends and some people later owed him favors.”

But time have changed. People who owed Trump enormous favors stabbed him in the back, and continue to do so. Case in point: RON DESANTIS. Also Barr, Haley, Ronna, Sessions,... and the list goes on.

Enlighten us on what you think Trump should have done.

For starters, tell his supporters to fill out every mail-in ballot that arrives in their mailbox. Telling people to only vote on Election Day in person during what was perceived then as the middle of a pandemic was idiotic. This cost him countless of votes from low-propensity voters who wound up staying home.

Ron had a premature ejaculation, and killed any political career he had hoped to have. He'll end up working at some law firm, making periodic appearances on Fox News, or some other slimy media network, because those are the only options he will have.

“that means nothing for 2028 or beyond.”

You sure about that? I say stick a fork in him. He’s done forever.
