Dude. Let me say it slower.

Ron is done.
Trump v Biden in November.

Sure it is. We typically get them ladled with pork and bullshite, only to have the partisans argue over them until nothing is left. Again… part of the problem. The current system isn’t going to fix itself.

Then how did the GOPE tax cuts get passed?

Honest question.

Like clockwork.



In response to a post about the myth of DeSantis being run by the establishment, someone tries to rebut with more of the same myth.

I can't tell if these folks are just blindly regurgitating Trump influencer talking points or if they know they're lying/misrepresenting and are doing it anyway.

Honestly, I have more tolerance for the latter.

Ron is not done. You will continue to talk about him until Election Day and beyond.

I look forward to you blaming him for Trump’s inevitable loss.

Ron went from being a fricking fire breathing lion to acting like every other milquetoast Republican candidate pre 2016.

You explain why.

Lol “these folks”

My man, there’s maybe a half dozen or so amongst us, both sides combined, who are as over the top concerned with the shite y’all are going on about as you are. You may be overstating it and overthinking it.

Oh wait. I forgot.

Trump can’t win, but the guy barely polling double digits nationally can.

I tell you what. If I become a Ronhoveh’s Witness, and then stay home and pout in November when Trump becomes the nominee, will you respect me again?

You’re a pussy and didn’t agree. I am enjoying you following me around begging for money though

I think that sums up the wing of MAGA occupied by people like you nicely.

You can grovel for my vote if it’s that important to you.

Your choice. Do you want to save America or not?

To date, there has been no legitimate criticism of DeSantis shared here. All we get is he wears boots and works for Bush!

Here’s your opportunity.

You sound like you’re confident there are no examples of that from me previously. You must’ve confirmed that by checking through my post history. No, of course you didn’t because you’d have seen plenty of examples of that exact thing. So no I’m not going to restate what you can find yourself. Which of course isn’t even the point here is it? There is no point other than fussing.

Why are pretending like this primary isn’t over?

What do you think will happen in NH where the Dems will crash the primary for Haley, or in South Carolina?

Ron had to spend 5 times per vote what Trump spent in Iowa for a distant second, and he’s losing donor support and the nevertrumpers are all team Haley now. It’s over.

Most of them can’t distinguish between a narrative and facts. Some of them know that they’re lying but think the lie is in service of a greater good.

Republicans were always going to swear an oath of undying loyalty to Trump as a result of the indictments? I agree.



That's not what I was saying.

What I'm saying is that we'd be exactly where we are right now even if the indictments didn't happen. Trump's support is rock solid. The majority of Desantis' support in November of 22 was very soft and based on general disappointment of the midterms.

It's easy to see if you are willing to look at the situation honestly.

That is the goal of his campaign. I appreciate you admitting that you are looking forward to accomplishing it.

No he didn't. He's the same guy but it's a primary and his opposition isn't Disney, it's Trump. And he was constrained by the reality that a friendly jab at Trump would have you guys frothing at the mouth about it.

You don't point to major policy shifts because there weren't any. And in the background, he continued the warfare on the left in Florida.

Genuinely no idea what you're trying to convey here.
