The extremes on both sides are really weird. Why would we want Desantis “banished from politics”? What happens after Trump is gone and there is no one left to be the face of the party? It’s long past time to cultivate young, up and coming talent, not tear them down and destroy them.

60+m of that came from desantis Florida gubernatorial pac, and he transferred it to never back down.

Its actually $82M

So doing the Maths, Ron questionably transferred 82M from his state PAC to this PAC. And now only has 9M left of the cash he has raised, without the transfer

Campaign Legal Center Files FEC Complaint Against Ron DeSantis and State PAC for Violating “Soft Money” Ban. Friends of Ron DeSantis, a state PAC based in Florida has reportedly transferred over $82 million to Never Back Down, a federal super PAC reportedly organized to serve as the primary vehicle in support of the Florida governor’s presidential campaign.

Now do the math on transferring almost every dollar you have not to campaigning but paying legal bills

it will be hilarious for you to cry and melt when desantis is banished from politics here shortly.


Delusional, a guy who is 5-0 in elections and was reelected in a swing state by 20 points turning FL red is going to be banished from politics.

he fricked around and will find out



More pseudo tough guy bullshite from overweight domesticated "men" who get offended when calling out daddy on his bullshite. Go cry some more because someone made fun of Trump.

- The group is focused on a living leader to whom members seem to display excessively zealous, unquestioning commitment.
- Questioning, doubt, and dissent are discouraged or even punished.

He sure didn't seem to in Iowa Friday.

It was obvious he had never even read that speech before he got to the podium.

Imagine thinking Joe Biden got 81 M legitimate votes sounding more credible than Trump saying he was cheated in 2020.

Trump claimed he did.

It's a feature with Trump that has been there from the very first vote he was involved with.

Well, if you consider outright lyin' as cheating, then he most certainly did. Where do you think Trump came up with Lyin' Ted moniker from? Iowa!

Why is ethanol-loving Iowa embracing ethanol-hating Ted Cruz?

quote:

By this point in the campaign, many readers will have seen the furious coordinated effort being waged by Democrats and big-money lobbyists, who are together spending hundreds of thousands of dollars trying to convince Iowans that I oppose ethanol,” Cruz wrote Wednesday. “Their charges are utter nonsense."

“Ted Cruz didn’t win Iowa, he illegally stole it. That is why all of the polls were so wrong any [sic] why he got more votes than anticipated. Bad!” Trump tweeted Wednesday morning. The tweet disappeared within minutes of posting and was replaced by with another that no longer included the word “illegally.”

He followed up with an ultimatum: “Based on the fraud committed by Senator Ted Cruz during the Iowa Caucus, either a new election should take place or Cruz results nullified,” he tweeted. Trump said later Wednesday that he’ll likely sue. “I probably will; what he did is unthinkable,” he said during an interview with Boston Herald Radio.

Trump, the master of reinvention, is trying to flip the script from loser to wronged winner,
