Yes, however a similar misunderstanding of his words in the Georgia runoff sealed the Senate for the Dems. He needs to be more careful with his words.

This interpretation is reasonable. I can also see him saying Reps "won't vote" meaning their votes don't really count/matter bc of dominion shenanigans

Exactly, but it is obvious that GOP Anti Trumpers are spinning it. frick HHT and his hack posting.

I wish Trump would fade away. I'd take DeSantis in '24 all day over anyone else.

No it isn't. Election boycotts have been extremely powerful statements in other countries. Trust the process.

Huh??

HE IS TELLING REPUBLICANS NOT TO VOTE IF 2020 ISN’t FIXED



No, he is not. He is saying that if the election process isn't fixed then (he believes) Rebulicans will not vote. But voting is the single most important thing they(Republicans) can do.

He is saying to VOTE even if not fixed.

I don't disagree with this in some respects.


However, I will also say the media overblew the airwaves, social media, papers, etc. and spun to meet their narrative. They lied plenty so even if he says it clearly, which he has, the left and media will blow it up however they choose.

i.e. The same fricking thing he did in Georgia. Trump saying bullshite that it’s rigged and no point moving forward was a big factor in us losing the Senate. You had dozens of idiots on here (who should be made into our personal gimps once the apocalypse starts) after this advocating for people in Georgia to stay at home and they did.

Have you considered that even suggesting voters staying home will happen at all has the same effect of depressing voters into staying home?

Suggesting vote depression will happen is still vote depression itself.

This is the same thing he did for the Georgia runoffs and a shite ton of conservative voters stayed home and democrats won the senate.

Granted Mitch McConnell screwed that one up too with his refusal to pass the stimmy checks but the point remains.

I would take Desantis, but I don't feel the same way as you over Trump at all.

Because they’re all on the side against trump and against correcting or investigating voter fraud. We have seen countless instances where statements by Trump are purposely misconstrued by members of the media, even alleged conservatives, in order to be twisted into a story reporting Trump said the exact opposite of what he actually said.

At this point, you’re clearly not just falling for bad reporting, you’re personally invested in anti-Trumpism by any means necessary, and are willing to ignore your lying eyes to do so

Boycotting an election to give D's more power is fricking idiotic.

Your derangement is noted, again.


Title of this thread is not supported by the statement provided. There are already large number of people who dont give a flying frick about voting repub after what we’ve seen since 2016.

Trump is telling you idiots whats coming, because you’re too hard headed to listen to us tell you the same thing for months now.


Then fall over yourselves claiming Trump is damaging the Grand Ole Party. The GOP has done it to themselves.

You can anticipate all you want but it's not going to help a thing.

It will happen to Desantis if he won, and they will make him look bad and be on the constant attack. Flooding the news et al constantly making people Desantis weary.

Anticipation won't matter my friend.

That’s not what he said. He said if they don’t fix fraud issues then republican voters will feel disenfranchised and not vote. It is important for Republicans to fix these issues

You must have failed reading comprehension miserably
