doesn’t matter, what matters is what happens in the kangaroo court in NYC. I don’t think he can run if convicted, that’s why they did it.

DeSantis/Trump is NOT a competition, in that Ron DeSantis is not actually running for the Presidency, at least, not in 2024. It is true, that Trump has, as is his wont, been especially harsh in trying to tamp down the least degree of actual rivalry, with a show of bluff and bluster, with perhaps a little hyperbole thrown in. That is just Trump being Trump, it is part and indivisible from his character traits. Admittedly, not pretty, but deeply ingrained.

Sure. DeSantis is in DC today, not running.

I don't think that's true. What will be interesting is how many times they try to convict him on different false charges in places where the DA's, the judges, and the jury pool are all woke, and tailor made to convict.

Amazing. They are just filled with hatred for what he stands for.

What's amazing is how many here don't stand up for him with all the BS from the left being hurled at him 24/7 for so many years.

Trump took money from Disney and Anheuser-Busch and now wants more, so he defends both companies.

Trump is bought and paid for by big donors.

If nothing else, DeSantis took Disney money and turned on them knowing he will not get any more in the future.

One is a grifter, the other is principled.

Prove me wrong.

With Trump so far ahead in the polls, the other politicians feel compelled to endorse him knowing:

1. If they don’t endorse Trump now and he wins, he will go after them.
2. Even if they endorse Trump and - for whatever reason- Trump fades, DeSantis will not hold it against them and they will flip.

Assuming DeSantis runs (I think he wants to but will have to make calculated decision in next couple of months), he still has time and the first few states will tell. There is a lot of overt love for Trump, but given a good alternative, it is hard to predict who Repubs will vote for in the primaries.

Just too early and there is too much chaos swirling around Trump to count DeSantis in or out at this juncture. Absent something truly seismic, don’t see anyone else besides these two having a chance to be in play.

Trump lost the presidency. He lost the election. We need a winner.

What bull s**t.

Breaking news: An amusement park and beer company are NOT big issues to most Americans.

I do.

At best, I see him as a better version of GWB.

Aside from your big mouth, you did not prove my FACTS wrong. Trump took money from Disney and Anheuser-Busch. Now he defends them because culture is not important to Trump.

Why don't you admit that instead of being an obtuse jerk?

Disney and Anheuser-Busch are globalist corporations. Your attempt to "minimize" them as an amusement park and beer company is deceitful.

But you need to be deceitful to support Trump at this point.

If DeSantis is a mole or sleeper, then I want more moles and sleepers who restrict abortion, sign concealed carry without permit, protect children from groomers, restore election integrity, have fiscal sanity and oppose his own donors who side with the woke, groomer agenda.

DeSantis should endorse Trump. If he did, he could waltz to the 2028 nomination.

The race is pretty much over already. DeSantis needs to come to his senses and pull the plug before he does serious damage to his long term prospects.

Trump did not secure the border.

Almost 25% of that debt was created by Trump.

Trump let the economy be destroyed by siding with Fauci

It is clear you do not care about those things either.
