DeSantis says that he’ll be a direct threat to your health if elected.
Or basically he’ll hold his finger to the wind and say whatever he thinks the hard-right fringe wants.
People made excuses like that for Trump in 2016. Turns out he did exactly what he said he would. The country did a full Pikachu face.
Believe DeSantis when he says stuff like this. And also consider his record in Florida doing exactly that.
Sure, I don’t think he’s a secret liberal or something. Anyway by acting as anti-science and fascist as possible he’d be representing his constituents.
He’s got absolutely no shot at being President, and every time he opens his mouth, support for him drops. Keep talking Ronny.
I definitely don’t want him to win, but it would be nice if one of those assholes could actually pose a real threat to Trump’s almost inevitable nomination.
If Trump had actual competition in the Republican primary the infighting would be so bad they’d literally tear the party apart.
For there to be actual competition the moderates would need to drop any remaining DeSantis support (which probably isn’t much) and unite under Haley (preferably) or Pence/Christie. Haley has been gaining some traction in NH so it could be possible but probably unlikely. Trump will more than likely run away with the nomination.
Probably wishful thinking. They all postured like that the first time. Then fell in line and kissed trumps ass. Remember all the horrible things he said about Cruz, his wife and father? Then Cruz shut up and sucked up to him the second he lost any hope of winning the primary.
They’re all just souless horrible people. They just want money and power. I’m not sure if any of them believe most of what they say and they’ll kiss any ass that will help them win their next election.
What if Trump is actually jailed and/or barred from running? Wouldn’t that make DeSatan the next best candidate? Even if just one state bars Trump from running, that should be enough to end his campaign and hand the nomination to DeSanctimonious. He’ll still lose the general election to Biden, but still.
It would probably be Ramaswamy. He’s ahead of DeSantis in many polls and essentially believes everything Trump does. Plus he has way more charisma than DeSantis.
Really? I kept seeing him get chewed on in news articles, but felt like he’d have instantly stolen second place from Desantis purely from mirroring Trump, if he were white and not named Ramaswamy. Haley too felt like she’d have been a standout, were she not a woman look for support from the GOP. Kept throwing me for a loop seeing the articles saying Desantis “won” the debate. It’ll be interesting to see what happens with the next primary debate.
The aggregated polling at 538 still has Ramaswamy in third place at 7% and Haley right behind him at 5.5%, but given that Desantis has dropped all the way down to 14.2%, I wouldn’t be surprised if one or both of them pushed him out. Trump is still sitting at 55.3%, but he’s also skipping the next debate, so hopefully that can fade. Plus, you know, all the criminal lawsuits.
If Trump is jailed, he wins the election. You can run for office from jail. If anything, it will improve his image among people likely to vote for him.
If a Blue State bars Trump from running, that doesn’t matter, because he wasn’t going to win that state anyways.
A Red State would never bar Trump from running, because it would be political suicide for any Republican to stand against Trump in such a way.
Good thing we won’t have to worry about that
Yes. The good news is he’s bottoming out. The bad news is Vivek is doing well.
I don’t understand the party thought process: they seem to want as many births as possible, but they also seem to want as many deaths as possible. What does that get them?
Edit: never mind, I figured it out. This is slave-owner mentality. You want/need lots of fresh new meat for the grinder, but then you want to be rid of them as soon as they are past their forced-labor prime.
This is slave-owner mentality
It’s also religious-war/race war mentality.
The ‘covid is fake/masks don’t work’ talking points were cast early on, when the data were mostly being reported in high-population-density areas. I suspect they decided the pandemic was a political opportunity, to let the virus kill off minorities and democrats in the cities for them.
Of course, they’re stupid as hell in that they killed far more of their own voters than they did anyone else.
It is entirely possible that the lopsided amount of covid related deaths among the conservative population actually skewed purple districts to blue in recent years. Stop this timeline I want to get off.
They will say and do whatever they think will whip their cultists into a frenzy enough to vote and keep them in power. Whether or not it kills those same voters is irrelevant to them.
There are some of them who are just idiot true believers, but they don’t tend to be the ones in high leadership positions.
Yeah, DeSADIST is one of those people that surely knows better. But he has to reverse virtue signal to the feces-flinging howler monkeys that make up his party, and they actually will believe whatever they are told to believe, as long as they think it will “own the libs”.
Why is this bozo even getting tv time? Just interview a local homeless man in need.
