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.

And Trump even says so.... when he says what a bad choice he made when he supported desanctus

Oh, yeah, I have no doubt Trump regrets endorsing DeSantis! LOL!

In retrospect, I'm certain Trump would have preferred Andrew Gillum to have won that race.

Either desantis is incredibly stupid, or he is getting amazingly bad advice on tactics.

...or he’s really on the other side.

“What is an actual conservative? “


A donor approved Swamp Creature that supports “free trade”, open borders, Amnesty, hedge fund economics, “market based” CO2 taxes, entitlement cuts, Neocon wars and Civil Rights Act worship.

Re: 62 - “Maybe Trump shouldn’t have filled his entire administration with Papa and Jr Bush’s JV team who never wanted him to be president to begin with?”

Great point, but many in this thread just don’t have the intellectual honesty to consider it.

You’re going to hear foot stomping like “ He had no choice! Even he did not know how bad the Deep State was!” And on and on and on.

The buck stops somewhere - just not with President Trump.

DeSantis is hiding behind the skirts of the GOPe while mocking Trump for not fighting against the 2020 election steal. The same GOPe that was a part of the election fraud. Trump has fought to the point he is under indictment and has almost a hundred charges against him.

We have silence on the part of the GOPe leadership when it comes to the political persecution of Trump and many of his supporters and associates. Each time I start thinking DeSantis would be an acceptable alternative to Trump, he says or does something that makes me think we may as well elect a Romney/Cheney ticket.

That and 90% of industry/institution/billionaires/wealthiest men ever colluding and conspiring rigging elections is called fascism.

Not at all. At the end of the day, I didn't have to abandon every conservative principle I'd ever held to support DeSantis.

And when DeSantis speaks, I agree with what he says. I don't need to make excuses for his comments like, "That's not what he really meant... McConnell told him to say these things... 5D chess..."

DeSantis’ $35,000,000/mo to go fr 7/2 to 22/1=worse advisors than Trump as unlikely as that was possible.

Will Christie et al be advisors again? Seems unlikely.

Trump 2nd term could equal scorched earth albeit unlikely with no 3rd term to be held over his head.

DeSantis first term=0% chance of scorched earth.

Ron DeSantis is playing the “heal” to get Trump elected. And he is doing a great job. Enjoy the show.

They’re cool with blowing $1,000,000,000 on a primary that is nothing more than a sabotage Trump charade-with the collateral damage of committing political suicide.

Let’s not rally around the politically persecuted POTUS, fav to be next POTUS-spending the $1,000,000,000 trying to secure elections or anything positive but lighting it on fire.

Re: 89 - well they better up their game as the Labour Party in New Zealand got bounced out on their ear. A center-right PM and a coalition of two conservative parties will control Parliament - the most conservative in decades.

Not rallying around Trump is leftist.

Law and order folks aka conservatives rally around the guy screwed by a lack of law and order in the highest regards that I’ve ever witnessed-

fr the 50% mail ins to the endless felonies.

DeSoros is a sad little man. No wonder the Deep State isn’t spending one iota of energy on this guy.

Glad he outed himself before he got in the WH.

What a pathetic TDS ankle biter you are.

Hey I have an idea. Post something positive over and over and over about Saint DeSantis besides your boring tag line.

Your pathetic shtick isn't working here.

The numbers had Trump winning, they decided to stop counting for the night, everybody went home yet thru the night the numbers continued to change from Trumps side to Biden’s until the next morning Biden miraculously wins.

The election was stolen on Trumps own watch. That’s a fact.
