Why wont you respond to my question of who you supported in 2016+2020? Seems like you are avoiding this


Because you haven't addressed mine.

You're right. He better be way to the right of Trump if he wants to shed any thought that he is nothing more than a globalist in sheep's clothing cuck beholden to the uniparty and WEF. Then if he wins he better govern the same way. Me personally I'm highly suspicious of his ties to all these globalists and RINO cucks. He's got some proving to do.

If you don't understand that border being wide open as a fricking major issue then maybe you are the lemming.


You think DeSantis is pushing for open borders? Is that the position you're wanting to take here?

I didn't say he was jackass. You said it's not a major issue and you don't care about it.

1) Covid/vaccines


They might bicker about this and it will go back and forth but not much ground will be made on this issue.

quote:

2) Immigration


Probably a tie on this issue but I don't see wall construction under Ron. Don will definitely continue to build the wall.

quote:

3) Globalism


Ron will have to defend his globalists record on the issue of TTP. He voted to give Obama fast track authority. TPP abdicates our sovereignty to a global alliance of trading partners. The alliance makes the rules instead of our elected representatives. Not good and that's why Trump killed it. Ron will have to defend that vote.

quote:

4) ESG


Probably a tie on this issue.

quote:

5) Shrimking the federal government


Platitudes from both. No president can shrink federal government alone. That has to come from congress.

quote:

6) MIC and the CIA


I think you already see where Trump stands on these issue. He is the enemy of MIC and the CIA. MIC and the CIA want Ron waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more than Don.

quote:

7) Big tech and AI


Another example of where Trump is the archenemy of big tech. In fact so much of an enemy he made his own social media platform. IDK about AI.

quote:

8) Transhumanism


Probably a tie on this issue.

quote:

9) American surveillance state/ FBI


We know were Trump stands on this. He been talking about the FBI sying on his campaign since 2017. IDK were Ron stands on this.

quote:

10) Mistreatment of Jan6ers and other American Citizens


Don will probably pardon everyone. IDK what Ron will do.

I can't remember, but doesn't Desantis have to step down as gvnr first?


Yes. Unless the Florida legislature changes the law for him.

I’d settle for hearing “platitudes” non-stop on this issue from whoever’s in the Oval Office.

No, they aren't. Most of the lemmings who get worked up about them can't even articulate what their issues are.


It is literally about deciding whether we are a country or just a vassal state. You cannot be a legitimate sovereign country, if you don't have borders, a shared culture, and plan to assimilate to immigrants into a shared culture. There is also no point in being a country if your people are just going to be mindless consumers and there is no manufacturing base. I get that the outsourcing and globalization is good for helping some rich f*cks make a couple extra bucks so they can go on more ski trips to Jackson Hole, but for the middle class blue collar guy in Indiana, he gets nothing out of that.

Maybe Trump's promise of schedule F is a bit more than just talk. It would cause A LOT of turmoil in DC so I just don't see it getting executed but a schedule F would reduce the federal government.

I don't think DeSantis announces until after the legislative session, which would be in June.
That would be good timing for RDD, IMO. Let Trump punch at air for several months. Get a sense as to where the attacks will come. Formulate and pretest responses. Select the most effective surrogates.

In the end, Trump's most effective attack will be RDD's indebtedness to donors. RDD had better spend the next several months sorting out ways to defuse that, or effectively counterattack.

Assuming the DOJ does not somehow take Trump out of the race, I'd give RDD a 30% chance at best. If he joins the race before mid-April, I'd cut his chances in half.

Context, dumbass.

That's nice. None of that adds up to being "right of Trump."

If DeSantis makes clear his opposition to the BS in Ukraine and plans to shut the southern border down - for real, not just talk about it, I think his chances are much better than 30%.

The more folks running, the better for Trump.
Other candidates will siphon RDS’ votes.


People keep saying this and it simply isn't true.

The establishment is going to run the 2020 anti-Bernie plan on Trump.

Biden finished 4th in Iowa and 5th in New Hampshire. Magically, candidates that had over performed in those states all simultaneously dropped out and endorsed Biden to save Biden in SC.

They all got a payoff like the gay mayor being transportation secretary.

The same thing will happen here, Haley, Pence, and Pompeo who all served high up in Trump's administration will drop out and support Desantis under the "new generation of leadership" banner. There will be others but these 3 are the key because they all served with Trump.

This whole thing has been scripted. The large field is a mirage. It will not be large for long.

This isn't speculation, Paul Ryan basically laid the whole plan out in December.

Just watch who supports him and you'll know all you need to know. Who's Jeb voting for? Who's Liz Cheney looking at? I don't know about you but whomever the GOPe is lining up behind is who I'm NOT pulling the lever for.
