True. But it doesn’t help that the GOP is actively stacking the deck against Trump.
“Nobody is entitled to this nomination,”
The candidate that the people want is. He’s entitled to it.
Not the candidate the party bosses prefer though. He’s not entitled to it.
It would be a grave mistake for Trump to skip the debates. I hope he does, for it would help Desantis close the gap.
“‘Nobody is entitled’ to GOP nod”
Especially the no-charisma Florida Man.
Give it a break.
He’s already destroyed any chance for 2028.
Now he just looks stoo-pit’.
Roll MAGA, roll!
Hey, if Joe Biden can sit in his basement all summer eating ice cream and still “win” an election, then why should Trump do anything except hold rally after rally in various cities across America?
Trump doesn’t need to be there, and only those that need to catch up to Trump need to be there.
As far as deserving or entitled, YES HE IS!
He was the best that the republicans could hope for in 2016 and in 2020, and now in 2024. He served the country fantastically and people expect the same from him in 2024. DeSantis thinks that his record in Florida is enough for him to deserve the nomination, but Trump record in the highest office in the world, can’t be matched by anyone; NO ONE!
The rest of the republican field wants and needs Trump to go to the events where they are all expected, but Trump doesn’t need those events.
So let me get this straight, the candidate from Florida who is skipping the Turning Point USA conference this weekend, is “zinging” the candidate from Florida who is attending the Turning Point USA conference, because he won’t sit down the the dwarfs for a televised “showdown” hosted by Fox News and a “cattle call” in Iowa? Do I have that right?
But, if DeSantis wants to throw elbows, Trump will throw one back and knock his teeth out.
trump’s absence is a two-edged sword for desantis: on one hand, there will be no trump to eviscerate desantis in a debate; on the other hand, almost no one will be watching a trump-less “debate” ...
“Nobody is entitled to this nomination,”
DeSantis gets it wrong again. What was stolen from Trump should be returned to him.
You are when it was stolen from you (us). Do you not think it WAS stolen, meatball?
Quit whining Ron. Man up. You been sending the wife out to cover you.
Like how DeSantis is following the footsteps of Neocon Nikki, Mike Pussy Pence, and Tim RINO Scott in not attending the Turning Point Action conference this weekend.
Big mistake to stick one’s nose up at the grass roots.
Says the guy who skipped CPAC
Ouch???
Are you kidding??
The headline says “zings” and you fall for it hook, line, and sinker.
No, DeSamtis really wanting to say: The only way one becomes entitled is to approach his presence.
That is a better headline.
“...You have got to earn the nomination...”
Seems to me with all the polling data out there giving Trump a substantial lead in the GOP side based upon his past performance, he also has to have the intelligence not to do things that call for him to lose the nomination.
Going into a direct debate with other candidates that are not as concerned with the peoples needs as of their needs to defeat Trump so they then can decide what they are going to do for the people that hire them is an assassination, not a debate. Their platform should be their badge and trying to get an opponent on national coverage just to beat him/her whether they have good ideas or not, is not a platform. It is a selfish effort to get a job without an proof they deserve it.

Trump does. Sorry, but he is our president in our minds since 2022 was a coup by stealing the election. We do not need to have some mental masturbation of ideas and some kind of eGOP primary. We need to get to fighting and Trump is our leader. Trump may have selected some bad choices, but he is learning to fight or go to jail.
