From the article:

Here's the question DeSantis needs to answer: “How do you win in Pennsylvania, Michigan, New Hampshire, Georgia, North Carolina, and Wisconsin?” Those are the real battleground states, and if he wants in the game, we need to know the plan to win these electoral votes away from the Democrats.

This is also the question that Trump, and the rest of the GOP for that matter has to answer and that answer can't be the same as it was in 2016. If the next two years are spent fighting Trump v. someone else internal battles, it's going to be a bloodbath. The NeverTrumpers are ok with a bloodbath. The dems are ok with a bloodbath. We must deny them that bloodbath.

TWO YEARS TO GO or as DeSantis said “chill out”.

There are people who will vote for no one but Trump ever and that is that.

Nominating Trump to get those people's votes makes no sense. There are a lot more people who lean Republican but won't vote for Trump. And if we really do need the votes of people that who will vote for no one but Trump ever to win a Presidential election, then that would mean we will never win again at the Presidential level once Trump is not the nominee.

Yep. That’s the question that has been turned back at YOU multiple times in your innumerable “I Wanna Have DeSantis’ Baby” love threads.

And you have NEVER answered that question... merely running away, on to the next “Yea DeSantis! I wanna have his BABY!!!” thread.

Well...?

How long do you feel your man can wait before announcing?

And what effect do you think his announcing will have on his sterling reputation in FLA?

"Donald Trump is a “three-time loser” who should clear the field so as to allow Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to claim the mantle as the GOP’s presidential nominee in 2024, according to billionaire hedge fund manager Ken Griffin".
Ken Griffin

In Ken Griffin's own words DeSantis needs a three time loser to step aside for DeSantis to have any chance.

Got weary reading, but, did the artcile ever address the democrat voter fraud machine?

if not, just a lot of noise. 2020 aand 2022 show that the fraud machine is running great.

Deal with that, or forget it.

This is less about Trump vs. DeSantis than it is about which wing of the Republican Party will determine the 2024 nominee. The Republican elite, McConnell and his Senate cronies plus Fox News (Paul Ryan, Lachlyn Murdoch etc) are still entrenched as Party puppet masters and control much of the re-election monies/doners. Trump has the support of the members and fence sitters. The media will support McConnell with Democrats and their comrades in the bureaucracy including Intelligence and DOJ. Anything to keep Trump from winning. And if they are successful in diminishing his favorable they will shift their focus to DeSantis. For Republican elites they would rather be in control of the Party and lose than to win but not be in control.

It’s clear the Democrats are freaked out about DeSantis.

that answer can't be the same as it was in 2016

The reality is Hillary was extraordinarily weak in those states. I don't think much of Biden, but apparently, he wasn't as weak as Hillary.

The fact is, Republicans have to be realistic, but Republicans on all sides don't seem to be that way.

You are demanding answers to hypothetical questions. Doesn’t make sense.

What people are failing to see is that the Democrat vote fraud machine pulled all its troops from Florida.

That's why DeSantis won such a "convincing victory".

It served The Narrative in two ways - getting rid of Trump, and spending that Florida vote fraud factory money to devasting effect elsewhere.

Which they did.

DeSantis understands that the enemy is cultural marxism, and that the Democrats play footsie with it, but he does it in a laser focused way.

Tired of all of the trash Desantis. Not even bothering to read. How about we focus on dealing with Biden and Harris.
