Need to make a thread about that soon


It's obvious Vivek's "campaign" is a sham

Absolutely, but that opinion puts you at odds with 90% of the DeSantites on this board.


So? I don’t care who else is voting for the candidate I’m voting for.

Let’s be honest about this, though. Some DeSantis supporters will peel off as the media attacks intensify.

Well, this is a good way for Ron to have a legit reason (un-electability) not to win the Nomination or piss of the Conservative Base. Trump can finesse this (wink and nod) to the Base but Ron can't, as it's his 'baby'.

Sure, but I don't think they'll be any more successful at painting him as the devil than they were with GWB or Reagan. They'll always do their best to peel off voters, but a candidate can make their job hard or easy.

So now Trump is a politician who double speaks to pander to voters who deeply care about an issue with no intentions to really help.


Sounds pretty swampy

This would affect only Florida resident's.

What is your obsession with newborn murder and why do believe it should be infettered?

Anti-abortionists who complain about AA violence are interesting to me.

The idea of a grown man going "If Trump calls him DeSanctus I'm gunna call him that too!" is just amazing to me

Trump could quite plausibly say he is going to leave up to the states and let our “beautiful federal system” do its job. Trump has an advantage here over any sitting governor who will is likely to be under pressure to sign or veto specific abortion legislation.

I don't recall seeing that specific "Truth," but I remember him whining about Dobbs after the midterms using those exact flimsy points.

But they totally don't wait for Trump to tell them what to say.

I am a huge Vivek fan but it's pretty obvious he is trying to be his running mate. I talked to someone who knows him well this past week and he was absolutely hinting that they are working together.

Unreal. This, along with his earlier signing of Florida's infamous "Don't Say Gay!" bill, renders this man unelectable nationally. And I think it won't be long before Floridians tire of him.

I just find it somewhat humorous that Trump is too pro-life and it's "killing Republicans at the ballot box," but then he isn't pro-life enough because he accepts electoral realities. I have yet to hear about a more pro-life President than Trump since Roe v. Wade came about.

I posted that here the night he announced. It will be an excellent ticket.

That was certainly the reality in 2018, when women angry over Kavanaugh and the radical antichoice posturing of the Trump Admin escorted Pelosi into the speaker's chair, by a 43 seat Democratic flip.
