This is my problem with the hardcore devout deeply infatuated "always and forever Trumpers"…I'm defending Desantis conservative record against a left winged Democrat, and Trumpers can't help but attack Desantis, who is far more conservative than Trump.
Oh cry me a river, the never Trumper DeSantis disciples bash Trump 24/7 and still are because their boy folded as he was going to do all along. He's never even been a close second much less a contender. Pro-DeSantis repubs legit said he was gonna crush Trump at the polls during the indictment and campaigned solely on that. Now those same are saying "only because of indictments"is a copout by people who can't accept reality that their candidate ran an absolute horrible campaign from start to finish.

Trump has been gracious following this announcement


Quote:

When asked about calling DeSantis "Ron DeSanctimonious" on the campaign trail, says he won't be using that nickname in the future."No, that name has been officially retired, things get rough in the trenches, it's not personal, I play to win."


And followed up by saying


Quote:

"Very honored to have his endorsement," Trump told Fox News Digital. "I look forward to working together with him to beat Joe Biden, who is the worst and most corrupt president in the history of our country."

how can you say that if he can't even win a primary?


Do you not understand the difference between republican primary voters in Iowa versus the general do election where everyone votes?
Do you understand that if Desantis couldn't persuade gop voters he wasn't getting the crossover vote?


No, I don't because that's completely illogical. Persuading a MAGA wing is nowhere near the same as peeling off true swing voters.
Ok so Ron doesn't appeal to GOP voters but he will swing voters? ok dude


I know Trumpers are new to this whole politics thing, but you do understand those are two different populations right?
lol I saw my candidate win a presidential election in 2016 and you? I also know the coveted swing vote is not really that big and is generally overstated, most people know who they are voting when they walk in the booth.
And all of us saw your candidate lose to a potato in 2020.

Congrats???

He appeals to GOP voters immensely, it's just bad timing. Some of us recognize that there's a culture war to be won first and Trump is better suited to fight it. Once the culture war is won, policy masters such as DeSantis will be needed more. Having DeSantis over the Senate (VP) makes Trump/DeSantis a dream team.
He appeals to MAGA immensely. The rest of the GOP is either lukewarm, moderately against, or vehemently against him.

And what culture war will he win? The one he's been losing for the past 7 years? But, if we just do the same thing that hasn't worked before it'll change?

They got the best candidate of the race and get to run against their preferred opponent who will bomb with independents after they now ratchet up the legal attacks to 100 and cruise to easy victory

Then the GOP should select a conservative, if my vote is important. Since they don't, it obviously isn't that important.


No kidding. A material chunk of the party said "man, we can't stomach this guy anymore, but what about this other candidate? Got lots of the traits that you like about Trump + hasn't done most of his dumb liberal *****"

Their response was "**** you guys, we're shoving Trump down your throat again" and now they're acting entitled to our votes. The time to talk vote strategy was a year ago, not after you've foisted a candidate on us who we said we really don't want amd night not support.
You realize Ron has endorsed Trump right?
So he kept his word?

Trump should try that sometime.

For whatever reason, voters did not want DeSantis. I think he would have done the best job as president, but he could never get it going and that's on him and his campaign. I think he has more supporters on TexAgs than he did in Iowa.

Agreed. I hate this blackmail BS. "You have to vote Trump now or else it means you love Biden and want communism!" Most of us see it that nominating Trump at all is what assures the Dems the win.

Splitting the GOP vote is a vote for Biden or whatever commie takes over. You may not like it but it's irrefutable basic math.
Vote for Trump OR ELSE!

My guy sucks balls but the other guy is worse.

Stop your whining and show the math to support your position.
Math?

I'm in Texas. If Trump needs my vote to win, he's REALLY ****ed up the election.

Polls will now start to shift back to showing Trump losing to Biden or any Democrat. Their job is now done and time to try to make themselves look credible again.

I wonder who MAGA will spend all their time rage hating on now.

And after that, they'll start going after other Republicans that won't bend the knee to Trump.

Amazing that they keep attacking from the left...



There's a reason for that. But it's a secret.

Bingo, this exactly.
"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill

Given his performance here in Florida, I was always pro-DeSantis. Think this country will be better served by someone who actually fights the left rather than someone who thinks a deal can always be done with them.

But I am not anti-Trump. I got more that was conservative from him than I got from Bush 41 (Destroyer of the Reagan Era) and Bush 43 (Killed Capitalism in order to "save" it) combined. I will vote for him again enthusiastically over the most amoral, corrupt sum***** this country has ever put in the White House.

DeSantis will live to run another day. This was Mission near-Impossible: defeating a popular ex-POTUS who wanted another term. The lessons learned will benefit him as they did Reagan after two primary defeats.

Roll on to the general election. Let's see Biden defend his pathetic and tyrannical record.
