Too bad he can win a general to save his life.

His ego is his downfall.

I think DeSantis and Trump should spend a weekend together without their lackies. Just relax and get to know each other.

Together they are a winning team
At each other’s throats
They’re a DemonRATs dream.

You mean like “ On the eighth day God created a fighter (DeSantis)”?

Not the same as stepping into YESHUA’s place. Not comparable.

New York Times swoons over DeSantis! That tells it all in a nutshell.

Trump will draw big crowds to be sure. The unanswered question is , how big a crowd would turn out for a candidate who supports MAGA and holds most of the same positions on core issues as Trump - but doesn’t have Trump’s baggage and the negatives that turn some voters away?

I love Trump and for me, “The Trumpier the better!”, but I also want to win back the Presidency and I believed him when he said it’s a movement, not a cult of personality centered on one man.

1,000 people and the word awkward is a dismal start to a presidential campaign. 😏

Actually it is directly comparable and shows the Hubris and a lack of discernment and humbleness on the part of DeSanctimonious.

How do you see DeSantis beating Biden? Unless 2020 gets fixed Jesus Christ couldn’t beat Biden.

While saying one's a fighter for GOD is somewhat prideful, it does not compare to what Truon that. Also, he is beginning to be viewed by some as a Secular Messiah figure. I prayed, and prayed that Trump would grow up, but he still acts like a 3 year old, and YES, swing voters do vote onthat.

But does he think HE is the movement. Trump was a tool, a blunt one to hit the Establishment, but is DeSantis a better tool.we will find out. No coronations.

Yup, swing voters do vote on that and they voted for Trump overwhelming in 2016.

And most people are smart enough to understand that it’s an act on the part of President Trump.

But they didn’t in 2020. And in 2016, he was running against Clinton.

Only if you believe they didn't cheat in 2020.

And if that is the case, you are nothing better than a Left-Wing or GOP-E Troll.

Actually, knowing that President Trump's behavior is part of his act, DeSanctimonious' behavior is worse.

“I think DeSantis and Trump should spend a weekend together without their lackies. Just relax and get to know each other.

Eh, I think they did that. When DeSantis went to trump hat in hand to ask for an endorsement for gov.

When Trump went to DeSantis for return endorsement DeSantis told him to hang it on the wall

Why would Trump not have done that? Of course Trump wants Fla gov endorsement

Of course Trump is ‘at his throat’. DeSantis is very quiet and passive about his aggression toward Trump. But he turned on him

Why do people love to blame Trump?

Why do people refuse to see what Trump is telling us? That DeSantis is wrong and not to be trusted?

That’s a mystery

They likely did, but he wasn't able to stop it.And his liberal Son- in- law ran a terrible campaign.
