"I noticed that he threw -- um -- Vivek under the bus. I've seen a candidate run for an office and basically campaign for another candidate in the same race before, but that's what's happened. And the minute he wasn't useful they dropped the hammer on him. That's just the way they are.
We're going to go forward as a party. We can go forward in a way that's focused on peoples' issues and a great agenda for America, or we can go forward with Trump, which will be focused, the 2024 election, on legal issues, criminal trials, convictions, on all these things with January 6. That gives the Democrats a huge advantage going forward. And I don't think we want to do that, why would we give them any advantage?"

>> [DeSantis] seems a lot like Chris Cristy or George Conway at this stage: butthurt and immature.
... and fully donor-owned as well.
DeSantis threw a conservative wheelchair confined journalist out of his indoor Iowa event into 12 degree weather. What a guy! đ
I assume your post was a joke.
DeSantis is everything I would expect from a Harvard-educated lawyer who has never worked outside government in his life.
For all the claims that Trump is ânot a politicianâ, the facts make a joke of that.
***********************
The 45th President has run a masterful campaign so far, which is amazing with all the lawfare crap his enemies are sending his way.
From “sniffing out” & defining DeSantis before he announced, to laying out common sense positions on issues, to avoiding ‘clown car’ debates...Trump has been running a smart & disciplined campaign for a guy that’s supposedly undisciplined.
My issues?
Do you think itâs my issue to have a self destructed fooseball try to destroy
the electability of our far and away front runner for Obama/Biden?
Ron has fully destroyed whatever political future he had. You need to figure
that out and join the rest of us at least six months ahead of you.
He did no such thing.
Sure he didn't.
You live in a fantasy world.
Projection.
This is called projection and is exactly what DeSantis did to Trump by running against him this election after Trump dragged him across the finish line to defeat the Methhead Gay black guy in 2018.
Just go away, Little Guy. To think I would have supported him in 2028 before he showed us all heâs just a Bush/Globalist puppet in 2023/24.
Maybe DT is learning to thin the herd now.
Often Ron doesnât look comfortable in his own skin, those strange forced
smiles and all.
I smiled when you touched on his shortcomings. The guy has a hard time walking in those boots.
I was inclined to like the guy until I knew more about him.
At this point, no thanks.
DeSantis seems to be running on MIC/Globalist issues just like his donors want him to do. Running a poor person with an Ivy League education for President is a terrible idea when the candidate has no moral value system and does whatever his highest bidder wants.
Thatâs DeSantisâ and thatâs Haleyâs only âissiesâ they promote. Ron does nothing but talk about Trump, at least as what I can tell filters through the media to me.
Nooo.....Trump let Vivek alone until VR began one of the snakey-est ploys ever.
Said Trump didn’t get anything done in DC but he would because he read the constitution and he went through a list - he’ll fire 75% of federal employees...etc etc. Yeah, right.
And his “save Trump by voting for me” is bizarre and repulsive. He has NOTHING in his resume that proves he can do anything but “pump and dump” and talk fast.
Trump is scorched earth. It is highly effective, however, it does bug me sometimes.
You couldnât be more wrong. And DeSantis has it exactly backwards.
There is only one candidate being thrown under the bus - and it has been going on for 8 years straight: Donald J Trump.
They impeached him twice over lies.
They stole an election from him.
They framed him and his supporters for âinsurrectionâ just for protesting a stolen election.
Then to top it all off, leaders of his own party - instead of rising to his defense and fighting to put him back in the White House where he belongs - choose to RUN AGAINST HIM!!!
Who is throwing who under the bus?
Is not that EXACTLY what DeSantis did after Trump endorsed him and DeSantis ran for office?
Trump yesterday mentioned this.
Trump is for America, whatever it takes. Seems to me Vivek was the one who decided Trumps support wasnt necessary. What is Trump supposed to do? Beg him to come back to the farm? Vivek made a miscalculation and now he will fade silently into the darkness.
"THAT'S Strategery!"
- El Rushbo
That was unexpected, and quite stupid. Like him or not, Ramaswamy has run a very savvy campaign
The votes of the peasants count for nothing, and Rob DS is fine with that.
A corrupt government holding J6 hostages for years, denying them their Constitutional rights is not a problem to him either.
He KNOWS how close we are to losing the country, yet he's willing to be a deep state stooge, and stand in the way of the only candidate the deep state is afraid of-President Trump.
He should have endorsed President Trump from day 1.
