Trump can do more good for the country by being the power behind the throne in 2024
Posted by Ag Zwin on 8/17/22 at 1:30 pm1378
By and large, the biggest concern Trump fans seem to have with DeSantis is that he's not Trump.
His policies and willingness to take on establishment media are very Trump-like. He deals with the press differently, but he clearly has little patience for their bullshite. He swats them down more with a mirror and reason, whereas Trump just tells them to go f___ themselves.
If that's the case, then far more could be done with Trump letting him be the face, while Trump plays "party elder". Hell, he could even be the "bad cop" while DeSantis is the "good cop".
It may be fun for some to watch the fireworks, but it is far more of a distraction than is necessary. I have no doubt that DeSantis will immediately be labelled "Trump Lite" and catch all the hell that goes with that, but I think he will be more favorably viewed by the persuadable middle.

don't forget that Trump is independently wealthy.
DeSantis needs other people's money and that will come with strings.

As long as he gets rid of the FBI so we don’t have all these distraction posts….

This is huge and perhaps the single biggest factor why Trump can be Trump. He’s beholden to no one but American patriots.

Hate them all you want but they are the ones that determine the outcome of presidential elections.

You're citing as support a video from a group called "Lotus Eaters", with a description that says "...the Republican candidate for 2024 must be Trump, in order to complete a mythic narrative cycle."?

As a DeSantis supporter, I don't really think this is true unless you're just planning to use Trump to fundraise.
Trump isn't really doing much at all right now except raising money and vindicating himself in primary elections. He's not really capable of fighting on the cultural issues of the day in a meaningful way.
So while I don't support this, I think Trump as POTUS rattling cages while DeSantis is the intellectual and cultural heart of the movement from a leadership perspective would make more sense. Unfortunately I don't think that could happen without Trump getting in the way of DeSantis and trying to steal the spotlight in those fights that DeSantis is much better suited to wage.

You forgot e-lectors

Trump was successful, why not stick with him? Why the push so hard for DeSantis?
Because Trump upset their wives with his mean Tweets. And then their wives would yell at them and make them ultra-sensitive and cry. They then would retreat to a message board and bemoan how mean tweets have turned soccer moms off.

This is what I don't get with so many people on this board. How can you not see that statements about the middle have almost nothing do with what the person saying them wants?
I liked Trump's policies. His rhetoric didn't bother me, OTHER THAN when he created unnecessary problems for himself.
That being said, there are just far too many people out there who WERE bothered by it, and they vote. Call me all the names you want, but you are doing nothing to change their minds.
Unlike ANY other candidate in history, his unfavorability ratings are all but disqualifying. That number hasn't dipped below 50% since he left office.
How do you win an election when over half the electorate fundamentally disapproves of you?

My, my, my. Either the lib alters are out today, or weak minded republicans bought into the CNN narrative.
And all that happened is Trump got Cheney steam rolled by 38%.
You can’t make this crap up.

no its not a mythic story. it's about justice against those who have brazenly obfuscated the rule of law, and the norms of our society. to destroy a man who threatens their hold on power. allowing them to beat him is how we all vote to say what they did was ok.

Trump lives on the limelight
He can't be behind and not be seen (even though he wears heels)
