You’re asking whether a presidential candidate should tell the truth. Let that sink in

Not shocked to click on this and see the usual Trump First people sound like a mix of leftists and GOPe eunuchs


GumboPot and others are trying to turn a positive for DeSantis in the GOP primaries (being baselessly attacked with a hit piece by a fake news source) into a negative for DeSantis.

It's intellectually dishonest. For example, Trump's comments about there being good people on both sides after Charlottesville.

Quotes from the curriculum are noticeably absent.

It’s wild that this is what Republicans are running with against DeSantis.

DeSantis helps mandate a curriculum that is not chock full of CRT and here’s the Trump crew lapping up the MSM take on it.



One can be against CRT and demand it not be taught, create laws against it being taught and NOT make dumb arse comments like this.

Can’t tell the truth or the black feels might get hurted? I mean I’m Irish, I know good and well “Irish need not apply” was part of US history, and I’m still way better off even though I probably had some ancestors get shite on along the way. Sucks for them, long term great for me.

Slavery definitely benefitted the blacks that owned slaves like Anthony Johnson.

Is he still more electable than the Cult-45 guy? If the GOP wants to actually win elections we need better candidates. Chris Christie would win in 2024.

Ignorant comment. This is all you few can do. You are the sum of WHY DeSantis is done.

The sad part, is you can't even grasp that.

None of it does matter. So why even go there? Even more worrisome than that is he had the opportunity to WIN with black Americans and slap the media. And he dropped the ball.

By the time it’s over the media will make DeSantis the most dangerous white supremacist in US history.


Prior to this unexpected event, the black stations in Orleans - which millions listen to and hang on every word - have seldom mentioned DeSantis.

The virulent, persistent hatred has been directed almost exclusively toward Trump.

That might be fixin' to change.

Will be interesting to see how DeSantis handles what's most assuredly coming his way.

But anybody wanting to treat themselves to raw, blatant, unapologetic racism should listen for your own "education."

Why you pollyanna Repubs keep hopin' and dreamin' that you're ever going to get enough of the black vote to make a difference in national elections.

Wait till you see the numbers in 2024 - regardless of whom happens to be your standard bearer.

Have a link for the rest of the conversation?

Personally I could’t give a shite if he “dropped the ball” according to the DNC plants on here. If the republicans resist electing the best guy in the primary and go with the old narcissist again it’s no skin off my back. He comes back home and my state stays redder than red for the next generation thanks to the voters moving here, the Supreme Court he’s put in place, and a fire engine red legislature.

He’s done an amazing job reforming education for MY kids. Just sorry the only Trumpers are too stupid to realize the potential benefits for theirs.

I’m so tired of the gop letting the media cherry pick things to make the gop seem like heartless nazis

The GOP is losing an entire generation of voters because of this

The best guy does not answer a question like he did. That's the point.

And that's not this arena. That's a state legislature that is red. DC isn't that.

It most certainly is.

Until they quit voting at 95+ percent for democrats, your argument is invalid. They are either stupid (I don't think that is the case) or they are brainwashed and always want to be a victim.

AGAIN, do you have a link to the broader discussion and answer or are you thinking a singular sentence (very likely taken out of context to the larger discussion) quoted by THE WASHINGTON POST was the only thing stated? Because right now you’re just using proggy tactics to attack who you perceive as opposition to your preferred candidate.

I’m sure you’ll just talk around it with other disingenuous bullshite, not respond, or downvote because that’s kind of your thing (and that of the left).
