re: DeSantis has most of Trump’s strengths without his many weaknesses

Why are GA posters mentally ill?

Probably because the last President under-performed the majority of down-ballot Republicans in the big GA counties and lost the state. Maybe they're pissed that Trump surrounded himself with Wood and Powell who actively encouraged voters to boycott the runoff which resulted in not as high turnout in GOP areas? Or the fact that these conspiracy theories, coupled with Trump acting like a fricking baby, angered and mobilized suburban wine moms who otherwise would've been complacent since Trump's arse was going to be out in a few weeks, to get out and vote against Loeffler and Perdue?

I don't know, maybe that's why?

Frick Jeb and Romney, especially the latter. He fricked up what was a winnable election.

With that said, we should tell Trump to go frick himself, too. He lost and failed us. Why the frick are we embracing him? We rightfully told McCain and Romney to go frick themselves and refused to embrace them after they failed us. Why the frick are we treating Trump differently? Not to mention, a guy whose nutjob confidants helped hand over the 2 GA Senate seat to the Dems on a silver platter. We should like guys who win, not guys (McCain, Romney, Trump, etc.) who lost and failed us.

DeSantis is a slam-dunk. Anyone who would rather support Trump than DeSantis is a fricking moron. Trump can't win in 2024.

Didn’t Trump get the most votes of any president ever?

---

Most of any incumbent President, yes. But he lost the popular vote and EC in 2020. On a precinct-by-precinct basis, there were over 5 million voters who voted for at least 1 down-ballot Republican in 2016 and approximately 5 million voters in 2020 that didn't vote for Trump. That's a lot of votes he left out there. DeSantis won't leave anywhere close to that out there. A lot of that is because Trump does a shite job of appealing to these suburban voters, who are Republican-leaning and historically vote Republican. That's why there has been a lot of ticket splitting over the last 2 Presidential elections. DeSantis does significantly better with these voters than Trump does.

The point is there needs to be a narrative fighting back against this media manipulation. There needs to be Republican support to enlighten these down voters they are being played.

Republicans criticizing Trump are playing right into the media/democrats hands. Anyone portraying Trump as “toxic” or “mean” in this environment is the problem. It is especially bad when someone calls themselves Republican/conservative.

They have manipulated these republicans voters by creating two scenarios:

#1 They force a Republican candidate to always play nice and take the high road and the media just destroy them with “fake news” the Republican is too scared to fight.

#2. If Republican candidate fights back on the narrative then the media calls them “toxic”, “mean”, and “divisive” when the democrats/media are the instigators with the divisive environment.

People need to wake up to this obvious stupidity of the democrats/media.

If it wasn't for Trump then we would have another Clinton in both 16 and 20. No one would be good enough to fire up the conservative base to go out and vote. The Republican party was dead and in bed with the Dems.

Yes Trump lost in a fraudulent election but won without it. Yes he failed because the rinos did nothing but watched a stolen election happen in real time.

DeSantis is good but if both ran in the Republican primaries then Trump would still beat him by a lot.

If Trump says he is going to run everyone else just needs to get out of the way.
