Can we agree yet that any "conservative" that's continuing to tout Trump is having to do so from a position of idol worship rather than of principled conservative values and policy?

---

This and/or dedication to revenge. Certainly not sure how a genuine conservative could choose him over Desantis. That is not to say we shouldn't vote for him over the cultural marxist commies on the left. But we should aim for much much better. Desantis is better in literally every way.

Has any DeSycophant in this thread actually read Trump's quote?

Hint: "Cuomo did better on Covid than DeSantis" is not what he said.

Trump primary supporters are as bad as never Trumpers in 2020.

He talked about deaths and then mentioned closing beaches (even though claiming DeSantis was a Lockdown guy is pretty ridiculous). He literally said, "Even Cuomo did better". Now you can goaltend that all you want I guess but this isn't the first time he has used this line.

Tell you what though, I am more than happy if Trump wants to run on Covid response, lockdowns and restrictions, and Vaccines. Happy for that to be a big debate topic for the self described "Father of the Vaccine".

The problem of course is Trump is trying to have it both ways. He wants to hit DeSantis anyway he can but he expects complete forgiveness for every mistake he made during Covid, no matter how destructive. If folks want to buy that line they can, I am just not one of them.

How many of them actually died from the China virus?

This must be what the left felt like every time he tweeted between 2016 and 2020. Wtf dude. No.

In his attempt to separate himself from Desantis, he's separating himself from people that voted for him in 2016 and 2020. Dumb strategy.

---

would have to agree with you. ron desantis is absolutely playing this smarter than trump. even if you love trumps presidency and i would fall into that category. attacking the best governor in the nation on stances you agreed with him on is distancing yourself from some of the policies and stances trump took. so it's almost like he is criticizing himself in some ways. desantis and trumps policies are similar. or close enough that it's stupid to play it this way.

You're not going to win over to DeSantis any Trump supporters with these kinds of topics. Trump was a great president. We all know that and you folks know it too in your heart of hearts.

And Trump is not going to win over any voters by attacking DeSantis from the left, and in fact will turn off more and more.

No one here expects the Cult of Trump is going to leave their god. As Trump said, he could murder someone in broad daylight on 5th Avenue and not lose a single vote. He knows his followers are as loyal as The People's Temple was to Jim Jones.

Great job Cuomo! You were #4 in covids death with the #4 most populous state.

Bad Ron! You were #3 in covid deaths with the #3 most populous state.

I wonder where CA and TX landed?

Surely someone will be along shortly to educate us on how this is just Trump playing politics and good strategy

Cuomo handled covid better than DeSantis ? Good Lord, you can't make this stuff up

Never trust Trump, Trump is a$$hoe

Edit: Anyone who believes Trump is a better candidate than DeSantis at this point is certainly not a Conservative

Is this the same Trump that made Fauci a semi-god of COVID.

One of those states went against Trump and opened up. The other, listened to Trump and stayed locked down and many many businesses failed. As you know, but are pretending to forget, is that the biggest disgrace of COVID was how many lives were ruined BECAUSE of COVID lockdowns. Your boy gave Faucci and Birx a medal the last week of his presidency.

I mean I know I certainly wanted to move to NY over Florida due to Covid policy. Interesting line of attack by Trump here.

BREAKING: Mr. Trump says that Andrew Cuomo handled COVID better than Ron DeSantis.

Do you agree with Mr. Trump's assertion that Andrew Cuomo handled COVID better than Ron DeSantis?https://t.co/USDuwD60Lu pic.twitter.com/1YVazSK8Mq

Agree that President Trump needs to quit the bull**** attacks, but here is the quote:

• How about the fact that he had the third most deaths of any State, as Governor, on the China Virus. Even Cuomo did better, #4.

So President Trump is referencing total COVID deaths, #3 versus #4. Not that Cuomo handled COVID better.

So we have a twitter bull**** artist conflating what President Trump said that was a bull**** attack on DeSantis.

For a candidate that is so far ahead in the polls, Trump sure is spending a lot of time talking about his opponent. You'd think he'd just ignore him.

President Trump's ego will not allow that.

Apples/Oranges

Florida : Elderly (>65) 21%
New York: Elderly (>65) 17%

Elderly were more susceptible to death due to other complications.

Trump was a great president. That is why the lefties hate him so much. Trump's greatness is directly proportionate to the Dem, socialist, FBI, CIA and anti MAGA hatred of him. You don't devote all your waking hours to the destruction of someone who agrees with you. You destroy those who want to destroy everything you stand for. Trump '24, the Proven Warrior

I disagree, many previous President Trump supports will vote for DeSantis in the primaries.

The people that would refuse to vote for President Trump are in the same basket as those voters that would refuse to vote for Governor DeSantis and will drive the US further into a Democratic Party wasteland. The Democratic Party leadership is going to be the demise of the U.S.

Exactly, this is why President Trump needs to stop with the BS attacks, lamentably, it is not in his nature.
