Trump is running solely because of his historically large ego and to evade multiple civil lawsuits and criminal prosecutions. DeSantis threatens that.
All politicians have large egos, including DeSantis, Biden, Clintons, Trump, etc. The question is which ego will do the best job. Answer: Trump, the proven warrior.

Ironic that you use this pic when you cry and scream "police brutality" if a cop looks at you the wrong way.
Quote:
For a confrontational approach in the culture war, does the GOP want more of Trump's jokes about Rosie O'Donnell? Or does it want more victories such as the one Ron DeSantis racked up this month when he challenged the College Board on its African-American Studies course and won a major concession? DeSantis is kicking off a conservative counterrevolution on education.
Most Americans could not have told you what "DEI" meant in 2015. But it rapidly expanded its reach in private and state institutions during the Trump presidency. Now, Ron DeSantis is defunding it in Florida's education system.
Trump was also the candidate in 2016 for people who didn't quite trust American institutions, or who questioned authoritative opinion on the efficacy of vaccines or the trustworthiness of Big Pharma. Now all those people are flocking to DeSantis. Not as much because he has shared or expressed their direst views, but because he has used the tools of his office and a rhetoric of American freedom to guarantee that they can safely navigate normal life, and that the social contract won't be completely rewritten in a crisis.
Trump's hard-line views on immigration are now widely shared in the Republican Party. And on that issue, DeSantis has drawn as much attention to himself, by flying asylum seekers to Martha's Vineyard, as anyone has.
Yep ! Trump's problem is he is ALL about Trump. He doesnt give a damn about the Conservative movement. Granted he is better than ANY Demorat but that is not saying much.Urban Ag said:
Great post and spot on!
The sad thing is that Trump had so much opportunity to do so much more. Good Trump was going after the dems and taking zero sh** off the MSM. Bad Trump was acting neurotic and trashing fellow republicans to the point that he literally created the "never Trumpers" himself. They still don't get it. You can't win without a big tent. Maybe once, but your allies have to be deep and wide.

TDS is when you dont worship trump the god
TDS stands for Trump Derangement Syndrome. Failure to worship is not the same as hatred. Failure to worship is not a mental disease. TDS is.
Its funny...because Trump loses his mind if someone posts anything derogatory about him. Or perhaps you forgot about Twitter from 2017-2020. Like the Trumpa Loompa Doompety doOG UNF said:BluHorseShu said:Use the same pic when Trumpers get twisted up anytime someone criticizes Trump.OG UNF said:

Trump supporters get upset when a weaponized DOJ/FBI raids his house and surveils his campaign.

I think trump is getting more and more desperate for attention and also realizing his biological clock is running out. He will get more outrageous as the field gets crowded and probably take himself out by saying something so stupid his kids or someone will step up and kill his campaign. I know predicting his demise has made many people wrong in the past but it appears to me he is becoming more unhinged everyday.
One thing for sure you live long enough you'll see it all……….
what i mean is desantis has the pedigree and upbringing of an establishment republican. he's a career politician who was incubated in the same social, educational, and political system as the bushes. by those measures, seems like desantis is pretty establishment. but he avoids that perception with the occasional calculated potshot against biden, the msm, or wokeness.WHOOP!'91 said:I lost you. You pointed out how he was like the Bushes then said he comes off as not establishment? I definitely consider the Bushs "establishment".Old McDonald said:it's more that desantis recognizes that the "establishment" has a mercurial definition and is savvy enough to navigate around it. if you look at his resume it's basically your prototypical republican presidential hopeful: undergrad at yale (like the bushes), joined DKE (like the bushes), played baseball (like the bushes), grad school at harvard (like the bushes), joined the military (like the bushes), served as a us congressman (like bush senior), then governor of a large state (like bush jr.). no private sector experience outside of a year teaching before law school.Gigem314 said:
The fact that a guy like DeSantis, who regularly calls out the media and woke agenda, is considered an 'establishment' pick shows how far the party has shifted. A DeSantis would have been considered a 'radical' in the party going against the Bush family, McCain, or Romney.
but, he punches back against the media and wokeness, so even if he's got the resume of a bush and isn't exactly a "drain the swamp" type he comes off as "not establishment".

is he going to drain the swamp as president? i highly doubt it. but i expect he'll continue throwing red meat to people who want him to on the way there.
I happen to like Meatballs. But this will turn off a lot of conservative voters. Not a wise move if true. I hope it’s not.https://t.co/ghLP1Q1M7A
