Kudos for your posts. Trump’s and fanboys junior high attacks on Desantis are phony and delusional. All conservatives agree Trump is being crookedly persecuted, but if the GOP wants to win the next election, emotional support for Trump is not gonna cut it. Desantis conservative bona-fides are superior to those of Trump in spite of balderdash floated by some on here. Trump’s negatives among much of the electorate plus the distractions of all the legal mumbo jumbo will truncate any positive conservative messaging in support of the American public. He will spend his time lambassting the crooks. Again, emotions are NOT going to win the election in 2024. The hatred towards Desantis on here is detestible.

If Trump disappeared the media and deep state would start flinging **** at the next GOP nominee. DeSantis would be better than Biden, Harris, Newsom, Whitmer, etc. etc. but I think Trump has a better chance.

Trump is 77 years old, isn’t he? He’ll be 78. TOO OLD. He’s morbidly obese and has a lousy diet. A prime candidate for a stroke or heart attack. I’ve seen recent pictures of him on the golf course. His face is flushed, he’s sweating profusely, his mouth is hanging open as if it’s hard for him to catch his breath. He easily looks his age. This after merely swatting a golf ball?

Remember he had COVID. Reports at the time indicated his oxygen levels had dropped which was why he was hospitalized. He’s an elderly man who had what apparently was a rather severe case of COVID. A drop in oxygen levels indicate that his lungs were involved. The elderly were particularly hard hit when they were infected with the virus. Long COVID afflicts many who survived. This is no joke. Add the fact that he’s facing massive legal problems that would wipe out most people. And to suggest Trump is some kind of superman, immune to all of this, is not realistic. It’s the belief of cult worshippers, not logical people considering facts.

He’d be a one-term president with few friends in the government. A lot of his accomplishments were the result of executive orders that were easily overturned when Biden took over. How effective can Trump be? He would automatically be a lame duck from day one. He wouldn’t be able to run again and his opponents on both sides of the aisle would take advantage of that. He would have little clout.

I just don’t think he’s the best option and I don’t think his highly unfavorable ratings translate into a win in 2024. We should move on. And it makes no sense to wipe out Trump’s most viable Republican opposition. Trump drops dead and who’s left? Scorched earth policies from Trump supporters endanger everything.
