Ha...bro you have an overinflated sense of worth. Looking forward to hearing about your Prez run, cause obviously you know how things works better than anyone else and would have done it so much better.

Heck maybe you should just walk into the WH and tell Biden "I gots dis fat"

For starters, this claim is laughably false:

But if YOU believe it, then no, there is no difference. Trump wasn't running the show, the people he lost to were. You want a president who runs the show; that's not Trump.

That's conjecture, not fact. He made him competitive, overnight, in the primary. That was still a back & forth race for the next 10 months, then he had to win against a black guy in 2018.

Won by ~.6%/35kish votes, so I'm going to bet that Trumps bump helped more than ronbots want to accept.

It's funny how the ronbots try to minimize Trump's role in Desantis' success, when the guy himself can't do it. Just own it...it's a bad look.

You should look up what the word "conjecture" means.

You aren't making sense.

You can criticize Trump for Covid legitimately because Trump made those decisions. We can discuss the dishonesty of the info being fed to him, but he definitely made those decisions. He was in charge. He was running the show.

Biden doesn't run the show. He's a face. I assume you understand this. If not, let me know.

Will Desantis run the show? I don't think so based on what I've seen so far. I think the people behind the scenes who are so clearly influencing how he's campaigning are also going to control how he governs. It's part of the price of all of that money they are delivering to his campaign.

Because he's been run over in Florida?

Or is it just because people who hate Trump want to see him beat Trump?

You should look up what "fact" means...cause saying Trump's role wasn't important for Desantis may be "conjecture" to you...but it's obviously "fact" to Desantis. The below isn't proof of "conjecture" but proof "fact". Own it...

It's a totally different world. It's going to take a billion to run against Trump and probably the same to run in the general.

Who do you think these people are? Do you not realize that the people you are talking about all hate Trump because he threatens their foothold into the guaranteed payouts they get? Do you think we spent trillions in Iraq and Afghanistan to protect our freedom or national interests?

If Trump never existed, we would have had Hillary and the same people whom are supporting DeSantis would’ve voted for Jeb Bush.



Literally any other Republican would've defeated Hillary, and many of them would've won the Popular Vote. Trump squeaked by in the Electoral College when Hillary won the Popular Vote by 2.1%.

Cruz probably would've been the nominee and he would've won. Kasich and Rubio were destroying Hillary in head-to-head polls. They were beating her by an average of 7 and 4 points respectively.

Your opinions aren't facts. Your claim is that Trump's role was "crucial" in the election. That's not obvious from any of the polling data in the months leading up to the election. He gave him a 10 point bump when he endorsed; that's easy to see. The rest of your claim is just a claim. Maybe it's true, maybe it's not. The data doesn't scream that it is, therefore it's conjecture.

You are right.

We didn't know what we didn't have before he existed in the political sphere. Now we know what we have, and we want to keep it as long as possible

Remember, we were all convinced Romney and McCain were the right guys, too.

Just because you like someone doesn't mean you're right.
