Yes, Lockdown Don was great during the early days of COVID.fka ftc said:
Trump ushered in a fantastic tax cut and jobs act and probably navigated the early days of COVID better than many others by pushing more for states to determine their own paths. Hell, only reason DeSantis gained such massive popularity was Trump leaving him and Florida alone.
So when you guys are attacking Trump's style and not his policies, is that sort of like being a hypocrite?Irish 2.0 said:
The thrashing coming upon Trump is only inflicted by Trump. If he ran on positions and attacking the liberals like he should, we'd all be hunky dorry. But instead the man continues to attack the other candidate that has a shot at taking out Biden. That is the goal right? Taking out Biden! Then why focus so much effort on taking out and cutting down the people you'd still need.
Attack the policy. Not the person. Especially when it's your own freaking party.

Uh, he is alienating a big portion of people who once supported him. He keeps it up, and all that will be left is the diehard cult members. Trump is not the end all be all he thinks he is.
If you only look through the lens of Forum 16, you would be right, but this isn't a real sampling of how it is in reality across the country . Trump support is just as high as it was in 2020 as it is now , has he lost some supporters? yes but not enough to make a dent.
Do you see me running for office? We're attacking the person running for office that is attacking the person that hasn't even declared yet.fka ftc said:So when you guys are attacking Trump's style and not his policies, is that sort of like being a hypocrite?Irish 2.0 said:

Or was their mention of Trump's policies in all the criticism of Trump?

Florida Governor Orders Statewide Lockdown
April 1, 20202:42 PM ET
Florida has now joined the list of states that are ordering residents to remain in their homes for all but essential activities to help stop the spread of the coronavirus. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis made the announcement at an afternoon briefing. It was just a few hours after he spoke to President Trump. DeSantis said he's issuing an executive order that will direct "all Floridians to limit movements and personal interactions outside the home to only those necessary to obtain or provide essential services or essential activities."

Well that's it guys. Shut it down. LDP said 99% are ignorant people with uninformed opinions.LegalDrugPusher said:Funky Winkerbean said:

Best reply! You can tell these people are not in the industry. Their contributions to politics starts and ends on TexAgs. Nothing wrong with that but they post some very ignorant unintelligent posts that expose how little so many of these posters truly know.
99% on here are not out in the field the streets the grassroots doing a damn thing other that barfing their ignorant uninformed opinions on forum 16.
Glad you clarified he followed Trump's dumb ideas because earlier this was reported:fka ftc said:
Interesting those tweets are from AFTER DeSantis locked down Florida, but never let facts get in the way of TDS and such.

...
DeSantis said he reevaluated his position after Trump ordered a 30-day extension of the White House's social distancing guidelines.
Quote:
Gov. Ron DeSantis said he hasn't issued a "stay-at-home" order to stem the spread of the coronavirus because the disease has not hit many areas of the state.
At least 30 states have issued statewide stay-at-home orders. Florida, among eight states with the highest number of COVID-19 cases, is the only one without such an order.
DeSantis' approach in trying to manage the disease without doing undue harm to the economy
Quote:
Gov. Ron DeSantis is refusing to follow the herd.
His cure-can't-be-worse-than-the-disease approach has put the Republican governor under a glaring spotlight locally and nationally as cases of the virus in Florida surge past 1,400. It's a philosophy that aligns DeSantis with other conservatives, including President Donald Trump and Florida House Speaker Jose Oliva, a Republican with a strong libertarian bent.
On Tuesday, state Senate Democrats began papering the governor's office with letters urging him to issue a shelter-in-place order.
"That is the dumbest s--- I have heard in a long time," said state Sen. Oscar Braynon (D-Miami Gardens). "This is a day-by-day crisis. Italy damn near saw 1,000 people die in one day, and there are people proclaiming we got this and have it solved in 15 days?"
DeSantis has grown only more defiant. On Monday, instead of buckling to political pressure to issue a shelter-in-place order, he said he would restrict visitors coming into the state from coronavirus hot spots including New York. And he's now literally ignoring pleas from Florida Democrats to be more aggressive.
Dems HATE all Rs unless they can count on their vote against other Rs. See Mitt Romney, Liz Cheney, and many, many CMs who have posted in this thread.Nitro Power said:
What I don't get...
How can the diehard Trump followers not realize he will get NOTHING accomplished if he does win. He would be voted in as a lame duck. The Democrats hate him, and he has alienated the power brokers in the Republican party.

I'll take that bet. How much you want to bet?
Only way he exits the race is if he's dead or in jail. He's not going to jail, and I imagine he's probably in pretty good health.
I don't ever bet on anything, but this right here is a can't-miss, sure thing if there ever was one.

Desantis is better. But Trump deserves another term to fully break DC. Then Desantis can come in to rebuild. I'm sure Desantis will realize this, and no harm in promoting his brand now for future campaigns.

Don't dare challenge the Don! MAGA will not forgive you.
Of all the tone deaf comments he's made over the years this one may take the cake.
He needs to retire.

Trump beat Hillary after the GOP ran super sleepy candidates in McCain and Romney and then the laughable field they put together in the 2016 primaries.

They hate for Trump on here is completely unhinged. There are many things I dislike about the dude, to the point that if primaries were today I'd vote for Ronnie D.
But the continual trashing of Trump on here just plays right into the libs hands. Congrats I guess?
If in your heart you are a liberal and want to be a sheep and not a tiger, then vote against Trump cause he hurts your feelz and gets laid more than you and always has. Or maybe you covet his wealth and fame.
Its unhealthy to harbor such hate for someone who did great things for our Country and saved us from HIllary when no other R candidate had the balls to stand up to the left.
Not when people keep missing the dunks.

Nonsense. He was the greatest president at all time at turning out the vote. unfortunately, too much of the vote he turned out went to the democrats.Bryanisbest said:Jeeper79 said:This. If you ask Trump, he's never lost in his life. If he wins, it's his doing. If he loses, the other side cheated. No way that's changing now. If DeSantis runs and beats him, you can count on him claiming fraud. And whether the GOP wins or loses the general, it may very well tear the party apart.P.H. Dexippus said:aTm2004 said:

You're predicting Donald Trump to discover humility and sacrifice his self interest for the good of the party. What in Trump's lifetime of actions leads you to this something he is capable of doing, much less willfully choosing to do?
He should have been rejected 7-8 years ago. For anyone paying attention, this was ALWAYS obvious.
He won in 2016. He got cheated on 2020. Pretty accurate statement by him if he said it.
