Harris is about to give Trump a drubbing.
Y'all gearing up for 2028?
Or will the GOP nominate Trump yet again?
I mean if Trump loses he will have been robbed right? Denied his rightful second term yet again? So the right thing to do is to nominate him again. Sorry Ron.
The Nazi pseudo-science of Eugenics still has a fan club in white supremacists. So of course the DeSantis-remade New College of Florida has invited one to come and speak. https://factkeepers.com/new-college-of-florida-invites-a-eugenics-advocate-to-speak/
The assumption here is trump and maga heir apparent vance win, do you think Ron would go for a cabinet appointment or stay as governor until 2027? What could he do after finishing that gov term? Obviously we'll root for him if republicans lose this presidential election but I want to see what others think Ron could/should do since Governor is hard to top.
(Disclosure: I’m a liberal and don’t enjoy either politician’s right-wing policies. But I can see that Trump is a dangerous treason criminal, while DeSantis is not a criminal and does hold a basic loyalty to the USA. Trump also has a disgusting lack of morality, whereas DeSantis is not disgusting and I believe him to be basically normal. I’m not here to bicker about left/right politics as this isn’t about that.)
DeSantis caused the Epstein documents to be released, likely knowing full well that Trump’s name is all over them. It makes me think of the time Brutus backstabbed his friend Caesar — a would-be emperor — in an effort to preserve the Roman Republic.
As DeSantis fans and supporters, do you see this as intentional? Heroic even? An example of Ron placing justice and the wellbeing of the Republic ahead of his own political party?
As a liberal with an overwhelming hatred of Trump — “TDS” as a MAGA would say — I can tell you that the “TDS” was never about right-wing politics. It was always about Trump’s disgusting evil, vileness, criminality, and obvious disloyalty to the People and to the Constitution.
I can recognize heroism on the Right, if and when it occurs. And once you drop the vile disgusting monster, take the red hats off, and put an end to this period of MAGA madness, I deeply hope that we can all start talking again… even tho I will never brook civil conversation with red-hatted Trumpoids, who I consider to be a uniformed enemy people with whom there are no words to exchange, only fury.
I am wanting to know how conservatives are thinking about these events tho. Are you throwing the red hats away? Or is raping children also not a deal-breaker for you?
Will Republicans embrace the heroism of Ron DeSantis? Or will Ron be consumed by the mire of MAGA vindictiveness, for disloyalty to your Emperor?
After last night debate, it's quite possible that Biden will bow out and be replaced with Newsom or Michelle Obama. Trump would lose against either one of them, he's too old and grumpy. That's why if Biden is really replaced, Trump should step aside and let the best governor in the country, Ron DeSantis, become the new president.
I haven’t followed every single thing DeSantis has been up to since he ended his presidential campaign (or I think he’s just been quiet and attending to his duties as governor). Anyway, I’ve seen his name come up on headlines that he privately met with Trump and will help him return to the White House. I think this is a good move for both Trump and DeSantis to reconcile so that Trump can raise money from DeSantis’ donors and DeSantis can extend an olive branch to Trump supporters.
Ron has been a great governor for Florida. He defied Fauci’s “guidance” for mask and vaccine mandates. He sent illegal immigrants to Martha’s Vineyard and banned sanctuary cities in Florida. He signed a 6-week abortion ban bill. Ron stood up to Disney for opposing the parental rights education bill. He stepped off the campaign trail during Hurricane Idalia which shows he’s a service-oriented person. I respect him for service as a JAG officer in the Navy.
Before and at the start of the campaign, it looked like Ron was poised to win the nomination or at least give Trump a run for his money. Then, the indictments against Trump sucked the oxygen out of the primary and boosted Trump’s chances of victory. Trump and his supporters kept mocking DeSantis for being awkward, stiff and allegedly wearing high heels. Nikki Haley overtook Ron DeSantis as the second place candidate.
As much as the indictments propelled Trump to the nomination, DeSantis’ campaign was just awful. Millions and millions of dollars wasted. Campaign staff had to be laid off. There was infighting and turnover in the Never Back Down PAC which was a bad look for the DeSantis campaign. He banked too much on a strong performance in Iowa where he barely beat Nikki Haley for second place despite campaigning in all 99 counties and winning their governor’s endorsement.
As for his performances in the debates, he wasn’t great or terrible. He can be robotic when he repeats things he says in his events, but I think he improved in every debate. Ron did not really have any viral moments, and he is honestly not the most entertaining person on the stage (which isn’t a bad thing in my opinion). He just explains his positions and articulate his vision for the country. His best debate performance was the one-on-one against Nikki Haley. He absolutely crushed that debate. Ron opened the debate saying that Nikki is “running for her donors’ issues” and called her out for her “ballistic podiatry”. You could see that Nikki got defensive and kept repeating desantislies.com.
I hope that Trump wins again so that we can have a 2028 and DeSantis can run again for president.
Apparently the logic of being a conservative according to Trump SubReddit is that you must support Trump. They think that supporting Trump is a requirement to be conservative. So, when I criticized Trump on the SubReddit, I was instantly permanently banned, told I was a liberal who blindly believed the media. I was then branded an ass. To be clear, I supported DeSantis in the primary. Apparently, one is not allowed to criticize Trump without being branded a liberal.
After ongoing legal battles, the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District, a board appointed by DeSantis, voted to approve a settlement deal with Disney on Wednesday. The settlement addressed the two-year litigation battle over who rightfully controls the formally titled Reedy Creek Improvement District that encompasses the Walt Disney World Resort.
The settlement officially invalidated Disney’s previous attempts to retain governing control over the district and ended all pending litigation in Florida state court.
Since DeSantis’ plan to dissolve Disney’s self-governing status was announced in 2022, many media outlets quickly took sides with the House of Mouse and predicted that DeSantis would be crushed.
