In distant third place in New Hampshire, Ron DeSantis presses for debate nonetheless
Florida Politics ^ | 1.16.24 | A.G. Gancarski

'THIS IS A TIME-HONORED TRADITION.'

Gov. Ron DeSantis is as low as 4% in some New Hampshire polling, but he continues to contend the two front-runners should debate him before next week’s Primary.

“This is a time-honored tradition that you debate in New Hampshire the week before the New Hampshire Primary. So I plan on being there on Thursday,” DeSantis said about the WMUR debate scheduled, but so far with only a commitment from the Florida Governor.

“I understand why Nikki Haley doesn’t want to debate and yes, Donald Trump should debate as well. But either way, I’m going to be there. And so I hope both of them come, but I think that she doesn’t want to debate because the last debate that we did together, you know, didn’t go well for her,” DeSantis said in Columbia, South Carolina.

The Governor’s comments follow a social media post in which he made related claims.

“Nikki Haley is afraid to debate because she doesn’t want to answer the tough questions such as how she got rich off Boeing after giving them millions in taxpayer handouts as governor of South Carolina. The reality is that she is not running for the nomination, she’s running to be Trump’s VP. I won’t snub New Hampshire voters like both Nikki Haley and Donald Trump, and plan to honor my commitments. I look forward to debating two empty podiums in the Granite State this week.

The turnout was low because the results have been obvious for weeks and the cold.

Wrong again, as always. I will support Trump if the race gets down to just her verses Trump. But I’m not assuming anything between now and November.

I’m calling bull$it on that last post. The utter contempt you show for Trump and his supporters show in every post you make.

Just like you claim to have supported Trump in the past...that too is BS.

Unless you have been diagnosed with schizophrenia, no one flips on a dime like that. Just isn’t possible. If you can do that, perhaps you should seek help from a mental health professional...just sayin.

Go look at my posting history if you doubt it. You probably don’t even know how. I not only supported Trump for years on here, I have said I will vote for him if he is the nominee. I would even support him as the nominee over Haley, even though there doesn’t seem to be much separating them in what they say. Just like Trump., a couple of days ago she couldn’t give a straight answer on whether a man can become a woman or not. Those two are the ones who are confused, not me.

No prize for bone-headed persistence, Ronny”!

You should have contacted a good fortune teller before trying to beat Trump! You failed to realize that it was his turn to get back in the saddle and round up all the assassins!

Beyond words in fact.

“wasn’t just because of the cold”

You have to be kidding me.

The temperature was below zero throughout Iowa and the wind chills were insane and dangerous.

Anyone who went to the caucus for any candidate was a true die hard.

LOL! Your TDS is legendary on this forum. No one cares what you did or didn't do years ago. We live in the here and now. You do not have the ability to post on these threads without taking a dig at Trump. See your comments above.

Yep, Ron made errors, sweating like a stuck pig and traipsing around in those elevator faggy looking boots.

Vivek? Lifelong democrat, stole his money selling phony pharmaceuticals., but sucks up to Trump, so MAGA thinks he’s great.

DeSantis, with an incredible record in Florida, firing Soros appointees, shutting down gain of function, plus crushing the LGBTQ and Disney agenda, etc etc etc, but somehow he’s terrible.

You guys are a joke.

Mr Ridiculous...Your posts sound like the “Microsoft Tech Support” scams.

The harder you try, the more moronic you sound. You need to pass that feedback back to the troll farm you work for so you can sharpen your message.

Even then, you will still sound like an ignorant moron.
