DeSantis is already a zombie candidate and the great Hindu hope of the Establishment, Niki Haley, is stillborn.
President Trump or nothing.
Wonder who they polled, about 100 of her volunteers?
I’m really looking forward to seeing what happens after Iowa. When Pres Trump mops the floor with all of them, what do they do? Are the big money folks going to walk away, leaving them out in the cold? Of course, at least Haley and DeSantis will stay for a little longer....we’ll get him next time. But eventually they’ll be done.
Ramaswamy, to my knowledge, is the only one that hasn’t spent the last few months bad mouthing Pres Trump. The rest, not so much. Will they go back home or show up on his doorstep, groveling for a job?
After seeing these people and their ilk, seeing what backstabbers and saboteurs they are, I’d rather no one even answer the door when they show up.
GO TRUMP GO
DeSantis making his move, looking good the DeSantis train is on schedule
you forgot to add /S :)
Side note: Trump’s lead is now the LARGEST seen so close to a competitive Republican caucus in the Iowa poll’s HISTORY!
But, but...I read here that Ronald McSantis world take Iowa because he visited EVERY SINGLE COUNTY in the state.
I absolutely love how the most Conservative and successful Governor in the Country suddenly becomes “establishment.” Why? Because he committed the mortal sin against the worshippers for simply running. That’s it, nothing more. The Gaslighting that has occurred the moment he announced is as bad as any liberal media outlet gaslighting our President Trump. Want to know why the party is fractured? Here’s your sign. Even when a good candidate runs within our party he’s trashed with lies and innuendo. Reagan would also receive the same treatment from the worship crowd. Prior to his announcement he was the most beloved Governor in the country within Conservative circles until the gaslighting operation. And it continues to this day.
Trump is amazing, Desantis is amazing…both are flawed. Stop placing one on the cross and get behind them respectfully. Otherwise continue fragmenting and it’s your sipmplistic narrow views.
The “DeSantis” train will be “participating” in local caucuses—just hope it does not crash through the door.
;-)
Read this article about DeSantis:
https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4138044-ron-desantis-on-2020-election-fraud-theories/
This is not “slander” and “innuendo”.
He took a stand—for the other side.
The “DeSantis” train will be “participating” in local caucuses—just hope it does not crash through the door.

******************
DeSantis is like the “Little Engine that Could” with an alternative ending. The little engine made it up the mountain in the story book, while DeSantis will crash & burn on Orange Mountain.
“I-think-I-can-beat-Trump.”
“I-think-I-can-beat-Trump.”
Haley is going nowhere fast. So much for her fake "surge in the polls".
DeSantis and Haley will have a war of the spinners for the next couple of months—before they throw in the towel.
Yawn.
The big money donors don’t care that their candidates have no chance of winning. Their purpose is not to win the primaries - it is to split the Republican vote.
Their hope is that DeSantis, Haley and Christie supporters will be sore losers and stay home in November - thus throwing the race to the Democrats.
I doubt this strategy will work at all, since it fails to factor in “the elephant in the room”: Namely, that Republican grass root voters know full well that what has been done to President Trump for the past 8 years stinks to high Heaven.
Grass root Republican voters may not have a name for it - “deep state” or whatever - but they know there is something very wrong, and their sympathy lies with President Trump. More importantly - and what the rival GOP candidates and their donors don’t seem to get - running against Trump and failing to defend him against this unfair onslaught reeks of disloyalty and opportunism.
DeSantis, Haley, Christie - none of them except Ramaswamy - ever say a word about the corrupt lawfare being waged against their fellow Republican - nor about the stolen 2020 election. This is abject election interference against Republicans - yet these Republican politicians say nothing.
By their silence, they are endorsing it - and it is turning off grass roots Republican voters big time. That is why Trump support rises with each new attack - and why none of his rivals can get any traction.
Republican voters will rally around President Trump because they know he has put himself in harm’s way to expose massive corruption, while his fellow Republican politicians look the other way. This is a deep betrayal, and the voters are watching.
One year ago, if Governor DeSantis had spoken out in defense of President Trump instead of deciding to run against him, he would have had a very bright political future - instead he is dog doodoo.
The ones that remain after Iowa are the ones who, along with the RNC, want to try and keep Trump from getting a first round vote nomination at the Convention. They are hoping for a brokered pick that will exclude Trump. Watch them try to engineer some really seemingly weird rules changes for the Convention.
The answer is simple. The DeSantis campaign is drive mostly by money from the billionaire Sea Island crowd. DeSantis sold himself to the very same people that have preyed upon us and show Republican voters nothing but disdain and hate. He is the establishment candidate in the establishment hates us. Therefor he is tainted and untrustworthy. Simply put, Ron DeSantis has all of the wrong friends while President Trump has all of the right enemies.
DeSantis is bought and paid for piece of dog sh*t. Fixed it for you lol.
No he didn’t, not at all. It’s called politics and I assumed many knew what that was at this point in a primary and it wouldn’t have to be explained. However, what you fail to mention is the other side of that coin taking the side of Trump calling DC a swamp. I can also point you to dozens of articles of ore President Trump “taking the other side.” Yet we fail to excoriate him as we do Desantis.
Convenience or hypocrisy?
