He allowed himself to be used by the Bush wing of the party to take a swing at Trump. If he were not weak, he would have recognized the ruse instead of allowing his ego to get stroked and believing the pro-Desantis media push was all true.

Then, more recently, when he stated that he viewed the Ukrainian/ Russian war as a regional conflict that the USA should avoid, he got himself "corrected" and now supports sending lots and lots of money towards Ukraine.

Like I said, easily manipulated. Weak.

Link us to where DeSantis says he supports sending lots and lots of money to Ukraine.

Didn’t Trump actually say he’d do that (lots of money to Ukraine) to put pressure on Putin to accept peace?

This is all MAGA soap opera/fantasy.

What isn’t fantasy is a lot of now Trump superfans hoped out loud that DeSantis would run in ‘24, and some even said they’d prefer RDS to Trump.

And I notice you didn’t post any examples of DeSantis weakness in terms of how he actually does his job. It’s all campaign BS. Yet for some reason, Trump’s weakness as POTUS doesn’t bother you.

Would you like to see some of Rob’s comments about Fauci during the time period that Trump was in office? :)

Would you like to see Fauchi’s medal Trump gave him?

Trump got cucked by a midget. Even you most loyal know it. It’s OK to admit it.

Imagine... a primary candidate trying to contrast himself with other candidates. Do you hate Vivek because he took swings at Nikki Haley? Of course you do.

You don't want candidates that criticize each other... you know... cordial and polite... like Trump.

It has nothing to do with the "Bush wing". Trump is deeper tied to the "Bush wing" than Desantis is. Face it. You' can't take your guy getteing heat. It's why he won't even show up for a debate.

But hey, you got hte most competent guy out of the race. So I guess that's reason to celebrate! Hooray!

Ron is the biggest fail in presidential politics since Rick "oops" Perry, another former governor with Bush wing support.

At least Perry's boots were for real and not for heightening.

Jeb! takes that on the mantle IMO. He was groomed by GOPe only to fall square on his face.

Similar to what Rob is doing to himself now.

Link us to the proof DeSantis has lifts in his boots.

You Trumptards are insane. You make wild judgments about DeSantis about f'n boots and how he holds hands with his wife, but Trump f'n lobbies for more Covid spending than Pelosi proposed and then tries to get Thomas Massie primaried in Kentucky for speaking out against all the spending, and you do nothing but fawn - "he was just returning our tax dollars!!!" - "Trump fights for us!"

It's crazy and it comes with consequences.

What may have ruined his future is not that he ran, but that he went hard after Trump. He should have done is campaign on the MAGA agenda and position himself to step in if Trump gets taken out or makes a fatal mistake.

If Trump steps aside because of legal or health reasons, he will endorse (and campaign for) another candidate and that candidate will likely win, regardless of who is in second right now.

BTW - that is why I think the RNC will wait until after the primary season before making a move to try to remove Trump from the ticket. They don't want Trump or the American people choosing who the nominee is.

Rasmussen also has Biden at 45% approval, and has consistently shown the highest Biden approval rate. I don't know what is going on with Rasmussen this election cycle but it's results seem off.

I like Gov D and believe he would make a very effective president. I also liked that he would’ve provided the potential for 8 consecutive years. Despite the narrative, his actual record gives no indication of RINO.

But he definitely fricked up underestimated the force that is DJT.

There will not be another DJT in our lifetimes most likely. Trump earned the unwavering loyalty of millions. No-one in the GOP was going to take that away and many people got indignant that someone would even try.

I will vote for Trump in the general and hope like hell the perceived strategy that voter sentiment will overwhelm any/all Establishment funny business this time will prove accurate.

I do not believe 4 years is sufficient time to drain any swamp or usher in a revolution, and I think a lot of people have themselves convinced otherwise, but at least it gives the country a chance to try and get some things on the right track and then hopefully another America First candidate in the future post-DJT can take the momentum from there to work on longer lasting rooted changes for the
better.
