Trump Boasts He’s Polling above ‘Ron DeSanctimonious’ for 2024, at Rally for Oz and Mastriano
The National Review ^ | 11/05/2022 | Caroline Downey

Former president Donald Trump boasted on Saturday that he’s polling way above “Ron DeSanctimonious” for the GOP 2024 presidential nomination, in an early taste of the rivalry that’s widely expected to develop after next week’s midterms.

Trump at 71, Ron DeSanctimonious at 10 percent, Mike Pence at 7 percent . . . Oh, Mike’s doing better than I thought,” Trump told a crowd of supporters at a rally in Latrobe, Pa., for Republican Senate and gubernatorial candidates Dr. Mehmet Oz and Doug Mastriano.

The fact that Trump assigned the governor of Florida a derogatory nickname is a telltale sign that he considers him a legitimate competitor for 2024, and that he is indeed gearing up to run. Governor Ron DeSantis has long been regarded a GOP rising star and strong contender for president, one who could potentially have the conservative-populist credibility to take on Trump in a primary.

While presiding over the Sunshine State, DeSantis has demonstrated a willingness to apply government power to achieve conservative policy goals — incorporating some of Trump’s confrontational approach. For example, he enacted a mask-mandate ban for K-12 public schools and a prohibition on teaching gender identity and sexual orientation to elementary-aged children. Both laws received widespread support among residents. The hope of some Republicans who favor DeSantis over Trump is that he can pursue a similar agenda without the political baggage of the former president.

“Thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican.”

No one ever says this in defense of trump. Want to know why? Because the fellow republicans get others to do their dirty work. Trump is the only man. That’s why he wins

Now. That rule does not apply in presidential primaries which is what this is.

What if DeSantis is a never Trumpet? He acts like one? And he’s running for president v trump. That’s quite a position to be in to run behind the free republic mob claiming victim

Just because DeSantis used Trump’s endorsement to win governor r doesn’t mean he doesn’t hat trump

“I’ll bet mr sanctimonious turned dow man the Trump team for the rally in Miami tomorrow.”

Good point.

If true, he is being sanctimonious.

THIS is why I don't lift up his fat gut and slob on his tiny little knob like the Q-tards and the fat boomers in hoverounds with their chinee made flags, stupid red hats and corn syrup IVs.

We likely won't get a NEXT time because he FAILED us last time.

We are not going back to Fakeservatism there must be more than speeches and symbolic controversies.

DeSantis ready to use force to defend rights?

Jeb Bush let Terri Schiavo die in March of 2005 in Florida.

What would you have done Mr. DeSantis?

This is not a good look, Mr President.

Unfortunately, this is just who Trump is. I have long said that if Trump had Reagan's tact and wit, he would be unstoppable. But a leopard can't change his spots.

DeSantis has the Florida gov seat in the bag that race is over

This has not bearing on that>> HE is at a rally for Mastriano who needs a very big hit and not Trump I’m the cheese moment. Trump can run a company and he did great stuff but it’s all gone now. Desantis has put in place major long term changes in FLA and hands down better at managing a gov spot. Trump needs a cabinet of people and at this point he wont let anyone work with him. can’t be all about you my president, can’t be all about you.
