DeSantis says Trump Colorado ruling is ‘stunt’ to ‘solidify support’ for Trump in GOP primary

“What the left and the media and the Democrats are doing — they’re doing all this stuff, to basically solidify support in the primary for him, get him into the general, and the whole general election is going to be all this legal stuff,” DeSantis said Wednesday, speaking at the Westside Conservative Club Breakfast in Iowa.

“What they don’t want is to have somebody like me, who will make the election not about all those other issues, but it’ll make the election about the failures of Biden, the failures of the left and how we’re going to be able to turn the country around,” he continued.

"DeSantis says Trump Colorado ruling is ‘stunt’"...

And I'd call your campaign of the past 7 months a "stunt" to rip-off the taxpayers of Florida. I'm sure most of them are looking forward to not seeing your name again on a Florida election ballot, any time soon.

All to stop Desanctimonius? There is another way to do that. Allow him to run his campaign as he sees fit.

This is DeSantis’ way of refusing to agree to Vivek’s recommendation.

“Actually, it’s the only motive that makes any sense at all.”

The left actually believes he led an insurrection. In a sense his entire presidency was an insurrection against the actual rulers of this nation (not Congress or the President). That’s the insurrection that torques them so much they will do anything to prevent a threat to their power and money again.

Trump’s insult to them was not Jan 6. It was refusing to accept them as his rulers during his presidency.

“While they are helping Trump, in the short term, they’re helping the Democrats in the long-term. They absolutely want to run against Trump, and if you look around in the news, among the general Republican and independent voter, at least 25% won’t vote for Trump if he is convicted, which means he cannot win the election, regardless of who is competing against”

That must explain why Trump is pulling away from R’s and Biden in all the polls.

I see no sense in electing another deep-state Republican president.

Ron needs to stay where he is for a while. He’s done tremendous things for Florida but he’s not ready for prime time and he’s hurting himself NOW for down the road.

The DeSorosoids have drifted into DemoKKKrat territory where everything now is a conspiracy by Trump and all others against the lift-wearing little spoogebucket. He will never, ever hold another elective position.

Think of Doug Douchey in AZ, who won with almost as big a margin as DeSoros-—14 to 18-—but who was so reviled 2 years later he couldn’t even get on the PRIMARY in AZ. Sorta like Flake.

“DeSantis says Trump Colorado ruling is ‘stunt’ to ‘solidify support’ for Trump in GOP primary”

i suspect desantis has something there: several credible (but anonymous) insiders told me that certain members of the colorado supreme court were paid off by trump’s campaign to throw their decision AGAINST trump, because trump’s campaign believed that such a negative decision would “solidify support” for Trump in the GOP primary ... the campaign’s next move is apparently to paid officials in 25 other states to prohibit trump from their primary ballots as well ...

“Is he serious, is he pulling my leg..so the left is trying to HELP Trump by doing this.”

Yes, it’s obvious. The media and courts are so in Trump’s back pocket now...but once he wins the nomination, the mainstream media and left will stop being so kind and generous to Trump and will do a complete 180.

Seriously, this is sad. Ron had so much going for him and was so popular before he let the Rove crown in his ear.

Absurd. Trump is already demolishing DeSantis and the rest of the wanna-be’s. There would be no need for the Colorado Supreme Court to issue this ruling if that was their motivation.

It makes no sense. Why would they want to help Trump win the nomination when he’s already got it in the bag by a large margin? Makes no sense at all.

You really believe that drivel from the lefty rag, The Hill?

25% of Trump supporters won’t vote for Trump if he is convicted, BS!

100% of Trump supporters won’t vote for DeSantis even if he was the last man on Earth!

You’re correct. They can’t beat Trump normally, so they’re using lawfare to try to win.
