Regardless, my point still stands. Why didnt Desantis HIMSELF run on these issues, instead of the weak arse shite that got him 3rd place?



He did, look above. I gave you the links, dipshit.

GOP presidential hopeful Ron DeSantis calls for term limits in Congress - 6/18/23

DeSantis’s speech left many unanswered questions. One is his call to control spending. He favors a balanced-budget amendment to the Constitution - 8/5/23

Rep. DeSantis speaks out in support of line-item veto power - 3/29/18

IMO, I don't want to open the Constitution up for amendments with the group running things now. I would prefer that we simply follow what is already there.
that part

when was the last time a Constitutional amendment decreased the size, scope and power of the Fed while it increased the freedom and rights of US citizens

I 100% approve of every one of those.

Desantis brought up all of these issues many, many times during his campaign, and all of them were a part of his platform.

You didn't care.

Well? You wondered "where was this", i showed you. But, let me guess, he still needs to be destroyed, right Rob?

I will say this though:

Desantis did an extremely poor job of cutting through the noise and letting people KNOW that this was his platform.

It would not have made a difference at all, but he failed in that regard.

Making an effort that pushes this towards a Con Convention is putting words into action and is bold enough to cut through the noise.

Not really, since we all knew his positions.

Do you really think, that Robbbobb, SDV, or any of the other sycophants would have changed their tune regarding DeSantis?

Trump gave them the narrative, they went with it. They are still trying to find a way to link DeSantis to Soros, and imply he's a big government RINO. All you did, was making them take pause. They are starting to slow their attacks on DeSantis and his supporters not because they just learned about DeSantis. But because Trump is starting to play nice with him now.

They do what Trump tells them to do. Don't give them a pass.

Those are at the top of my list.

Surprised he didn't include removing birthright citizenship.

I am not crazy about this idea.

Love the rest of them though.

Cult45 was never going to listen.

That was his miscalculation.

Would like to know how this would work. If in place now I could see a bill pass that has the border shutdown and funding for Ukraine. Then Biden vetos border lockdown and Ukraine gets more money to laundry.

Would prefer single item bills only. No adders or things slipped in on page 4890 of 5000.

I would love to get an explanation from any state government who doesn't support at least 1, 3, and 4. 2 would be the most impactful, but blue states won't support it.
