Thursday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL), a candidate for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, said he would not support the GOP nominating former President Donald Trump if he is convicted.
“You did say, Governor, at that August debate when the question was put to the entire panel if Donald Trump is convicted, will you still — and he is the nominee, would you still support him?” co-host Willie Geist said. “And you raised your hand. You’re a lawyer. You served in the Navy. You were well-trained at the greatest schools. Do you really believe that a man who’s convicted of, say, attempting to overturn the 2020 election or taking nuclear secrets back to his beach club, do you actually still, as we sit here today, believe that person should be president?”
“So I signed a pledge, Willie and that pledge is what it is,” DeSantis replied. “Now, do I think somebody under those circumstances could get elected president? The answer is no. That will not happen. I think that Republican voters will understand that as we get closer to voting. But it is — it would be fatal in a general election, and I don’t think the party should — should nominate in that situation. However, you know, I signed the pledge. I’m a Republican. I don’t think it’s going to come to that, and I think we’ll be — we’ll get the job done like we need to, but the reality is I signed it, and that’s what I did.”
“So, you stand by that this morning?” Geist said.

Fold your ballot eight ways and cram it.
Hey, droop, I can hear you salivating, but the felony charges don't permit demurral of incarceration. It's not going to happen.
But meanwhile, choke on your drool, onan.

Did Karamela write this spoiled word salad for you? You were obsessed with chiming in, and yet that is the best you can do?
Go punch yourself in the face as a safety check, you might be asleep lofl...
Once again with music...
When both primary races are already over -- a foregone conclusion to the incumbents -- as it was for the GOP in 2004, 2020, and this year; the #MSM morons (not moRonlims, but morons of a different ilk) that would normally be breathlessly writing about "the horse race in NH, IA, SC, etc." are completely denuded of material, and instead turn to punching down on 'Hopeless Candidate X' for clickbait.
Do you not understand how journolists work? You go to a circle jerk every morning on zoom, and your producer/editor says,
"There's nothing here today, polls unchanged, Biden's asleep, Trump is still free ... Listen, you there, whatever your name is, gin up some clickbait on Greasy. Punch down hard, we need views."
Why would we be disappointed and stay home? Trump is so far ahead he doesn’t even have to attend the fake debates.
You neverTrumpers are the ones who will be disappointed when your fantasies about him going to jail don’t pan out. I think you’ve been watching too much fake news. LOL
You nailed it.
I respected DeSantis before he ran. He’s destroyed that completely.
He threw away a bright political future, but at least his true nature has been revealed.
If he had given his full support to Trump’s re-election, most of us on this forum would have rooted for him to be Trump’s VP. And he would have had a good chance of becoming president after Trump’s second term.
“I credit conservative anger at the COVID shutdowns and attempts to mandate the vaccines, as well as the Democrats overreacting to January 6th.”
Don’t forget conservative anger over the stolen election. For many conservatives, this was the last straw, and the only way to make things right is putting Trump back in the White House.
Scoop: People close to [Governor Ron DeSantis] @RonDeSantis growing increasingly despondent about his chances
...they say he is stubbornly refusing the drop out and has enough money to stay in race
*HOPING that something existential happens to [President Donald J. Trump] @realDonaldTrump*

As we’ve said from the beginning, Ron Desantis is banking on Biden’s DOJ taking Trump out of the race

Nope.
Trump would get more write-ins than the GOP nominee.
This could be the death knell for GOP.
Here’s something to ponder though. Could write-ins mitigate against voter fraud?
I don’t like DeSantis anymore.
He is utterly saying Democrats are in charge of who Republicans nominate.
NO THEY DO NOT
I’ll write him in then.
Trump/MAGA 2024
Hopefully he will be on the ballot then
The Rats have chosen Trump as the Republican nominee in 2024 by indicting him 4 times. It’s a clever strategy that will likely win them the Presidency in 2024.
With help from RINOs. Another way of looking at it is dems are in charge of the dems posing as republicans.
It’s a “clever strategy” used by banana republic regimes.
There’s no doubt our republic is in very serious trouble.
But there’s no need to insult all the countries that grow bananas by calling us a banana republic.
Not trying to convince those who support him to do anything. If Trump gets convicted from these made-up lawfare charges and vendettas and the GOP doesn’t nominate him even when he clearly gets the votes, I’m just going to sit it out, period.
