He then rehires people who aren’t performing. Or maybe it is what they have to work with.

Well, nobody can hold a candle to Trump's hiring abilities.

Is there a single person he ever hired that he hasn't later had to call a loser and a lightweight?

As a matter of opinion, heard that DS did not necessarily win
the debate. He just was declared a winner by his supporters.
It’s STILL OPEN SEASON and this bet is ON MAJA/MAGA!

No. DeSoros not only lost, but Baris’s polling today shows DeSoros loses to Rutabaga in FLORIDA.

The real question now is if he drops out by Dec. (my prediction, looking increasingly accurate), and does he, as President Trump Truthed today, run for the senate vs. Scott (continued suicide, as he would lose).

This shows, I think, that DeSoros is increasingly desperate, knowing that failure to get a NEW elective office now means his career is done.

Trump influencers on Twitter (now X, but I can barely stand to call it that), loudly proclaimed that the interview got 1,000 gazillion views or something. Except, the interview likely garnered fewer actual watchers - people who were engaged for more than a minute or two on a social media feed - than the GOP primary debate on Fox News, which actually vastly exceeded ratings expectations. I know they want to convince us that scrolling past something on one’s Twitter feed and having it play for two seconds is the same as tuning in to watch a televised event, but it’s not even remotely close. And one can hardly pin the success of the video on Trump’s popularity when much of the viewership occurred because Elon Musk shared it and posted about it several times.

Well, let's say that 1% watched, that's more than 2 million. If 10% watched, that is 20 million +, and so on and so on.

It still beats what they got that beat their own expectations. The vast majority, if not all, of Trump supporters, never watched the debate on Fox.

Thus the answer is, if anything DeSantis lost ground, & the WP/Ipsonotfacto poll is nothing more than a push poll, because they would rather face DeSantis than Trump. So you take hat as a win, Scott Morefield, because fantasy is all you are hanging that win on.

Mark Levin is a prominent conservative commentator. So his opinion will influence others.

No the world isn’t on pins and needles about Levin’s opinions, but some people listen to what he has to say. Ditto Hannity and Laura Ingraham , and folks on talk radio such as Mike Gallagher, Clay & Buck, Jesse Kelly, and others.

The opinions expressed in the conservative media will influence people.

Trump was the big winner ... by a long shot.

True, LS. His career to win a NEW elective office is over.

But he’s got the ex-GOPe Governor career track wide open to him! He can join Rat Romney and Chrispie Creme. The megabucks await De Snake Hiss in the Donor and Fake News commentator career.

One big obstacle for him: Mickey Mouse will never be a fan.

Hey mass55th.  Sorry to hear you missed Trump's dialogue with Tucker: it was superb.

As for the Junior Varsity Republican primary debate, let me focus on the moment when a show of hands was called for and Ron De Snake Hiss exposed his lizard-like thinking.

Here's NBC Meet the Press recap of the debate where I queued up for you that key moment.

Then, there's a post-debate 29-second spot where DeSantis explains his hesitation to raise his hand to support Trump.

So there you go, mass55th.  Enjoy.

Thanks for the links. I’d already watched the hand-raising video via Mark Dice’s video about it. Mark always has some great, and hilarious narration to go along with his videos. I hadn’t seen his explanation post debate, and his reason for hesitating falls way short. If he objected to the hand-raising as he claims, why did he eventually raise his hand? I don’t remember hearing that he mentioned an objection to the moderators at the debate. The fact that he raised it, despite claiming he objected to it, tells me he’s one of those “go along to get along” Republicans. We’ve got way too many of them in Washington right now, so having one sitting in the Oval Office is a no-go for me. Finally, DeSantis’s explanation after the fact, reminds me of McCain’s explanation after the fact, that calling Trump supporters “crazies” was a “term of endearment.” They’re both full of $hite.

Levin thinks he won the debate, but does that mean he has his full support for the nomination? He really does a yeoman job defending Trump.

Minion Romney lost the presidency, but he didn’t lose the gov race. I guess the “loser” tag goes back as far as you want. I just think if he doesn’t run and beat Scott this time, he won’t ever get another chance.
