The biggest reason Trump's attack on DeSantis was a mistake
Hot Air ^ | November 07, 2022 | DAVID STROM

Posted on 11/07/2022 6:28:44 PM PST by TBP

President Trump made a big unforced error attacking DeSantis at his rally the other day.

Not just because he did so just before an election day on which the Republicans simply must destroy the Democrats–after all, Governor DeSantis doesn’t need Trump’s support to win. If Trump went into full attack mode it wouldn’t dent DeSantis’ reputation one little bit.

So Trump’s attack is electorally irrelevant (which in itself is an unforced error, as it shows Trump to be weaker than he wants to look against a political rival).

Trump’s attack was a mistake because he opened up an old wound that could be Trump’s Achilles’ Heel: his huge mistakes dealing with COVID. Mistakes that DeSantis saw early and rejected quickly. Unnoticed by many, he has attacked Kemp in Georgia as well, which is truly bizarre as his attacks would help Stacey Abrams, a particularly disliked figure among Republicans. Trump once quipped that Stacey Abrams would be a better governor than Kemp–something nobody outside the Left believes. Kemp, though, will not be hurt by Trump’s jibes either.

Both Kemp and DeSantis were more right on COVID when it mattered than Trump.

He doesn’t appear to be interested in the neocon’s Ukraine Project.

Some of the hard core conservatives left the Republican party during Bush’s second term because he was a RINO and was destroying the party. Trump said GWB did such a bad job even Abraham Lincoln couldn’t have been elected as a Republican when Bush got done. I also registered as a Dem in 2008, the year of OPERATION CHAOS. It doesn’t mean I actually was a D or voted D in the General. We don’t know how she voted. She says her husband made the donations. Trump also had nice things to say about McCain when he died and had similar feelings about Bush. Turns out he was right about Bush and Rove, a Ford-Bush establishment RINO who opposed Ronald Reagan in the 1976 and 1980 Republican primaries. Kari Lake will go from Governor to Trump’s VP to President. Just watch.

So Will Cain is at a restaurant in Florida saying in a few days Trump and DeSantis will be facing off ie the 2024 Presidential election.

Doesn’t he know that DeSantis is now running for his second term as Governor?

I guess Paul Ryan, boss at Fox News,
is telling the crew to get the two of them fighting.

Stupid Fox News, but they don’t want either President Trump or Governor DeSantis on the scene.

Figures for Will, wants to be relevant.

Why Trump did not truck in his fake ballots?
Why was he not aware of how Democrats cheat?
Why were Trump & RNC so incompetent to counter democrat fraud? How do you think JFK became president 62 years ago? Dead Democrats rose from the ashes and voted in Cook county, that is how Illinois was switched from Nixon to JFK. If Trump and RNC were so incompetent to execute their own fake ballots, they do not deserve to win.

Ed Rollins and Carl Rove.

No thanks to either one.

Rollins is a Rino supporter.

Both of them actually.

You are 100% correct. But many Republicans just throw up their hands in air and cry that Biden cheated. So why Trump did not do the same and truck in fake ballots? Was he unaware, uninformed or just incompetent on executing fraud?

Of course not. I spent majority of my life in Chicago. If Biden was competent in executing vote fraud, why Trump did not execute his own fraud scheme?

Trump was politically naive in 2016.

Trusted the wrong ppl.

Republicans were caught off guard re the massive cheating in 2020 campaign.

Good Patriots like Harmeet Dhillon are ready this time

Teams of lawyers ready to put sticks in the wheels of the dem Vote Cheating Machine now

Yes, JFK election was stolen.

Sorry, cheating is not the way to win.

Just cause dems cheat and lie, doesn’t mean Trump should.

If you want to cheat, go to work for Satan’s dems

Because Trump can win without cheating.

America was created with Christian values.

You seem to be all in for destroying our great country.

Better to fix it than follow the dem
way of fraud
