Reality of Trump vs DeSantis
Posted on 5/30/23 at 8:39 am

I know there is a huge patch of this board that is pretty much Trump or nobody. Which, if we're honest, makes sense from a lot of perspectives. His demeanor, fight back mentality, and no bull shite attitude is appealing. Especially to those who feel ignored, or worse, demonized by US politicians and the current socioeconomic agenda of the Left.
If it's Trump on the card, yea, I'm voting for him. If it's DeSantis on the card, I'm voting for him.
The problem doesn't lye with those on the conservative side of the political spectrum when it comes to a general election. The problem is with independents and those who more centralist Democrats. If Trump is ultimately the nominee, I personally think you lose just about any chance of pulling centrists from the left and a huge portion of independents. If it weren't Biden running on the D card, you'd likely lose a ton of voters under 35 who are tired of the country being run by people who can barely operate their smart phones. Something DeSantis would destroy Biden with.
I love me some Trump. But I also love me some DeSantis. I think the choice comes down to who is more likely to pull fringe voters in a the General Election. I personally think that's DeSantis.

People who are grounded in reality also agree.

The reality is they shouldn’t be enemies… they should fight together against the left.
Like jjdick and the Ronbots on this board it’ll never happen, therefore the Left gets what it wants and will win again.
This…I’m undecided, but I’m also sick of the “Rob Desanctimonius” bullshite, it’s not needed and not productive.

Why do you people keep saying this? Nobody feels this way, you are just making it up.
Many on here like President Trump very much and don't appreciate Rob lying about not running against him. But if Rob wins, we will all meatball. Until that time, MAGA!

Better hope Kennedy is the opponent. We couldn't take 4 more years of these brain dead idiots if Trump runs and loses.

There was a thread from a guy quite literally saying he's voting Trump or no one at all and it get well over 100 upvotes. I also saw someone post that he'd vote 3rd party if Trump isn't the nominee.
So....no.....this isn't being made up. You just have your head in the sand.

Poo flinging monkeys will fling poo at you for having a rational, well thought out opinion that they hate.
It’s where we are.

Those vast majority voted yet?
Or are you going off poll results that this board did a 180 on over the last few years back when "all polls are bullshite".

fight back mentality,
I really, really want a fight back mentality. But there are ways to fight back that don't make one look like an arse, and that don't instantly turn off two thirds of the country.

Congratulations.

The claim is absurd at this point. It was a stretch two months ago, now it's just willful ignorance. Even the most devoted Trump fans have shifted to "well, there are just as many DeSantis only people" instead of denying that Trump only people exist.

You post is good, except for where you got most of what you said wrong.
First of all, if you're stupid like Tmc-gin-for-breakfast, you believe Trump lost a legitimate election, and should just delete your account or at least stick to topics you understand, like bouncing balls and commercials that are so funny they make your Sam's Choice soda come out of your nose.
Second of all, there are two factors to consider when talking about voting: breadth and depth. Breadth is how many people would vote for your guy over the other. Depth is how committed they are to vote. You need broad appeal for breadth, and energy for depth.
Trump beats Ron in both. If you think more independents will vote for Ron, not only is that provably wrong, according to RCP polling average, but it's also like open mic night at Hometown Buffet. Ron is very good at what he does: take advice from people who tell him how to run a state that does whatever he says. He's got lots of question marks, a voice like Kermit the Frog, and has the excitement of those square-cut, mass produced carrot cake chunks at a Chinese buffet.
Ron hasn't ripened yet, so we don't know what he will become, and you guys don't have the patience or the wisdom to know to wait until the time is right. Dan Crenshaw was "awesome" for years before he wasn't.

Bottmline:
Trump is a 78 year old RINO moderate with an extremely high "unfavorables".
DeSantis is the more electable competent conservative leader.

Not that you'd know from personal experience.
Well, you sure do know about being the flinger of said poo.

Because he has a different opinion than you?
You just make stuff up. That’s the problem people have with Trump supporters.
If he disagrees with you there must be something wrong with him and he must be ridiculed. It’s past cute.
Tear down all who disagree with me.
But, yeah totally not a Cult of Personality.

Imagine what could have been. Trump/Desantis 2024 would have no doubt won it all, setting the table for 2028 as well. Instead it'll be Trump vs Desantis 2024 and probably 2028 too, essentially ending Ron's national shot. Then it will be Trump Jr or Ivanka vs the GOPe.
We could have had it all. Instead, I'm working on strategy on how to make money in a Biden economy for the next decade. Way to go, Meatball.

Trump had his election stolen while being the leader of the free world.
What's he going to do differently this time?
