Hard truths from someone who voted for the guy.
Hard truth is, do you think Ron would have figured out USAID corruption without DOGE? Do you think JD Vance was even on Ron's mind for VP? The Establishment Swamp would have been just as entrenched in Ron's administration as it is in Trump's and Congressional Republicans would still be the same. People have to vote out incumbents if we want change. We are bordering on insanity right now. Voting the same people in over and over, expecting different results.

Ron flamed out in the primaries because he needed MAGA to win but MAGA wasn’t going desert Trump especially after the lawfare shite. Nikki had the GOPe vote on lock so there wasn’t anywhere for Ron to go.
I think we would get largely the same with Ron as Trump without some of the craziness. I think Ron would be more skillful in negotiations and probably more effective with Congress but not sure anyone can tame the spending at this point. I think Trump would be better at the trade stuff and his craziness is pretty effective I’m just not sure how much will stick beyond his term. Trump is without a doubt the Great Communicator and has reset the political landscape in way Ron couldn’t do.

Ron wouldn’t have beat Kamala and he certainly would’ve lost both the house and senate. He spent all of his campaign trying to win Iowa. He can’t rally like Trump and he’s awkward. Ppl forget Trump went to California, Illinois and New York hitting places he had no chance and got the most black and Hispanic votes ever. Ron bots are delusional. Ron is struggling with losing the governorship and still considering letting his wife embarrass him further.

Far be it from me to tell Trump how to operate given he's defied the odds so many times.
But the one thing I think would really help right now is some degree of laser focus on pushing Congress to act on a small handful of items. I just think Trump usually has too many balls in the air to put his full weight on anything. That will mean leaving things on the sideline.

I love the fact that he just make gold and silver legal tender in Florida.
Now if retailers can start pricing their items in weight of gold and/or silver moving away from the federal reserve note might become a reality.

I don't believe Ron could have brought in the MAHA moms. I think that had a big impact in PA, WI and Michigan.

The democrat playbook calls for investigations of people who go against the party.
Maybe Kash and Don need to be looking into the (probably easy to find) crimes that certain establishment politicians have committed, instead of promising "free beer tomorrow" Epstein stuff.
Hell just the threat may get them in line. Then Elon needs to throw money to any America First candidate who wants to run against the RINO's.
The only way forward is to primary them and get rid of that type of behavior.

Small bills expose and isolate GOP politicians. MJ is trying to keep is thin majority together. Big bills allow GOP politicians hide the bad parts of their vote.

lol DeSantis couldn’t do anything with this Congress. They’d politely tell him to frick off.
DC isn’t Florida, and DeSantis doesn’t have a huge Republican majority in the Congress like he does in the Florida legislature.

The delusion is unreal. I remember when you goons said Trump couldn’t win the primary because he lost the election in 2020 that was stolen. It’s even more insane posters on here still think Biden won legitimately, and they’re the same ones who want Ron

He wouldnt alienate his party members like Trump has.

Well Ron Desantis is the only one to blame

Rhonda is on a rehab tour right now. Levin had him on last night, and it looks like he’s unleashing his bot army to spread the word.

Exactly....as long as women can vote, we are destined for the path we are on. Congress wont even codify the extremely popular DOGE cuts...because that is their slush fund

This is fair and makes a lot of sense.

I’m coming around to this belief as well. It’s a way of life for those people that goes back a few generations now.

Good grief we are not even halfway through the first year. Defying odds is Trumps specialty. Way to early to be bringing back this DeSantis crap.

I'm just saying Trump (or any POTUS in his second term) doesn't have a ton of leeway if he doesn't want an opposite-party POTUS after he's gone.
