COVID is not the differentiator between Trump and DeSantis for me but apparently it is for some voters.


It isn't a differentiator for me either, but they WERE different after the first 2-3 months.

Desantis was better at it. That's ok to say.

However, Trump was running a Nation not a State, and did not have the power to act as freely as Desantis did. That's also ok to say. Context is fine.

A irony of a diehard Trumper saying someone else is soooo cringe.

Getting up on stage and rambling with no point whatsoever about yourself for 20 minutes is not cringe man.

Make sure to mention ANWAR at least 20 times

Is there anyone in any political camp that actually believes rehashing Covid talking points is going to persuade voters?


Oh, and another day, another 12 GumboPot threads trying to divide the Republican Party unnecessarily. Obama voter Jjdoc should be here soon as well.

Right. And when Trump cozies up to the GOPe, it's 8D MAGA chess. But when Ron does, he's a compromised neocon WEF Paul Ryan stooge.


Life is so unfair.

This is politics. It is a dirty business full of lies, half truths, and distortions.

This is true of every election Republican or Democrat, it's just the world as it is.

Ron DeSantis made a terrible political decision to take on Donald Trump. It's likely he will never be president because of it.

If he runs aggressively against Trump he's costing himself votes. If he does not respond to Trump's attacks obviously he's going to get crushed.

I'm not discussing the merits of the issues involved in the campaign I'm only trying to explain it to you in political terms.

The Ron DeSantis campaign is a perfect example of a no-win situation.

Even the never Trump people recognize this but they really don't care if Desantis is ever President they only want to stop Trump.

The argument between Trump and DeSantis on COVID is like Catholics and Protestants arguing how Jesus saves. The differences are minor.

The argument between the GOP in general and the Biden/Democrats on COVID mandates is like Christians arguing with atheists. The differences are vast.

You were never going to vote for him in 2028. After Trump loses to Biden again he'd run again in 2028 and you'd still say 2028 is Trump's turn.

He hasn't though.

Donald made the decision to take on him, and you guys ate it up.

And yet you actively support trying to destroy the brightest star in the Republican party.

What does that say about you and other Trump fans?

Trump using covid is the height of Irony and is working on only the extremely retarded.
I think it’s a good move for Trump. COVID was a major weak spot for him, as the rest of his presidency (with few exceptions) was an example of winning for the American people in spite of numerous obstacles. If Trump can show that Desantis was just the same on COVID—or at least not much better—then Trump removes the only point where Desantis might otherwise be favored.

Neither side should be claiming the high road of perfection when it came to the Covid debacle.

Gov D wasn’t flawless but there were a hell of a lot of states that handled it worse than Florida.

GOB may not have been a Gov to make decisions for any particular state but he carried the bully pulpit of the presidency and if he wants to go there then plenty of footage exists with him standing right alongside Dr.Death Fauci while that gnome rambled on.

Meanwhile the very worst of the worst occupies the White House at this moment and their party had governors that went downright draconian in their states. THAT should be where the focus is.

Was it not Trump, Fauci and Birx cheerleading along with Hannity about the testing procedures established in the wake of Covid?

I'm sure that some Trump supporter will come in with a revisionist historical take on this.

Unfortunately, Trump people such as yourself have turned this into North Ireland, a bloody, bitter conflict because of your utter devotion to this guy that cannot win a General Election.

You guys have turned this ultra, ultra personal and it really pisses me off to see supposedly people on the right actively try to destroy one of the brightest stars on the conservative side because you're so obsessed with one man.

This would be a lie though.

You know what pisses me off? Idiots that fall for political speech, one liners and photo opps. DeSantis reeks of swamp rat.

Trump could claim that DeSantis was a tranny and about half of this board would believe it.

Remember, the majority of this board believe Sidney Powell had "biblical" evidence which would overturn the election and that Lin Wood was right when he said that Pence would be arrested and John Roberts preyed on little boys.
