    Could be. I always thought DeSantis has potential, but so far he has chosen to fight the wrong fights. Maybe it's as you say, - red meat for the base in order to pave way to GOP nomination

    Considering the results dems are producing, reps don't need someone all that great. Trump also owns the dems who work to keep his name relevant free of charge.

    You and your ilk have the most backward definition of "fascist" I've ever seen. Totally bassackwards. You've been drinking the LW Kool Aid so long it's reverse programed you brain.
    Do some more research. And get your vision checked.

    Nope, just responding to the massive wave of PRE-PROGRAMMED LW sludge being disgorged across the entire LW.
    LOL, more nonsense from the LW mantra factory. You're singing all the little ditties your masters are feeding you. And you still have the deep-seated irrational fear of Trump. So sad. :frown:

    It’s cute you keep spamming this which is a complete regurgitation of everything the right wing media continually says. All while saying it’s actually the left doing this.

    I don’t fear trump but I do despise him and everything he and his base stand for. despise him and everything he and his base stand. I will cheer the day when they are a non-issue.

    Keep it up, I’m enjoying it. How did the last two elections treat you?

    Classic LW bluster and misdirection. And a touch of false bravado for good measure.

    a classic example of cognitive dissonance, likely coupled with a touch of the dunning kruger effect.

    Trump comes with too much baggage. There is one choice here

    Desantis is going to play it safe for now and look for an opening. Maybe if Trump gets indicted he'll make his announcement then and try to play it as a reluctant Cincinnatus thing -- Republicans have been looking for one of those for a while now -- saying he has to run because Trump can't win now but still publicly defending Trump and maybe even running on a promise of pardoning him. He probably won't go negative against Trump, making Trump look all the more desperate because going neg is all Trump has. Desantis would beat Trump in the primaries. However, the general would be a problem. Trump will pull out all of the stops to sabotage Desantis, and some of his followers will just stay home and not vote if Trump loses the primaries. If by some miracle Trump doesn't run, Desantis stands a very good chance of winning the general.

    I don't think there is one characteristic that screams humble to me, wrt DeSantis.

    Oh, it would be an act, and one he'd only pull when it came to Trump

    He definitely lives on donations to pay his legal fees, but he doesn't need donations to run. The press covers him extensively every time he says some racist nonsense or blurts out the most outrageous lies against his opponents. I don't think that will carry him to the Presidency, but it will certainly be enough to get him nominated. Assuming he's not in prison.

    I think Trump's lies can take on Murdoch, DeSantis and... anybody in the Republican Party

    DON'T TAKE THE BAIT FOLKS. This guy just wants you to support Trump 100% because he knows he doesn't have a chance of being elected again. Lets analyze

    Ahh, he isn't BRAVE enough? Does the OP even say what that means (OF COURSE NOT). Does he even know what it means? (OF COURSE NOT). He just wants to deter you from voting for someone different because he is smart enough to see that Trump endorsements didn't work out so well. He wants us to primary Trump so he gets demolished in the general election

    It looks like OP is projecting his fantasies again. Who cares if he goes to jail? Trump is not relevant to DC anymore and people are starting to see this.


    Ever see this person make a thread without calling people FASCIST? I haven't. He's trying to paint DeSantis as a FASCIST why? Because he doesn't want to see little kids get sexualized and groomed? Again, don't take the bait. OP likes to throw around that bill but never describes the contents of it (as how most democrats do with everything when it comes to substance)

    Again, more smack talk but nothing to back it up. I bet the best thing he can come up with is the "grab em by the P comment". Plus all BLUE threads sound better when you sprinkle some "racism" on top

    SAD!

    MORE LIES. Are Y'all surprised yet? He cannot define what a Maga-extremist is and if they do exist its like 1 out of every 1 million Republicans. Take heed! You will see "Fascist", "MAGA EXTREMIST", "Racism" shoved into almost every thread by OP

    Pathetic!

    Don't pay any attention to that BS. He is trying to anger you into supporting Trump again, DON'T TAKE THE BAIT. If you can't see through all of this BS, GET GLASSES.

    He doesn't? I sure hope you're right.

    Brave enough to make up lies about anybody who he dislikes. Especially within his own party. Lies is what sells candidates in today's Party of Trump. And DeSantis is not brave enough take on everybody that dares say anything to contradict him, like Trump does.

    Because people like you refuse to ignore him. The media is giving you exactly what you ask for.

    I'm talking about his lies. What you would want me to ignore are his crimes. That's not going to happen.

    Not even close. A self-serving "If you don't believe me - read what I wrote earlier. providing yourslelf as proof is the ultimate egotistic nonsense.
    No, you haven't since it isn't happening except in your distorted universe.

    And he will continue to be in the narrative, because you choose keep him relevant. He will only go away when people stop caring. On this forum, it’s the lefties keeping him relevant.

    No, because YOU keep him relevant. The only way to make him irrelevant is to not vote for him. While the majority of one major political party support him, he's relevant. Doesn't matter what I do or don't do.

    Democrats have been trying to get him ever since he came down the escalator announcing his run for office. All efforts have failed. At what point does it stop?

    What "efforts" are you talking about? There haven't been ANY efforts.

    When he's in prison paying for his crimes, of course.

    The problem with all that is, tRaitor tRump wouldn’t make a pimple on a “leaders” ass.

    Once you get past DeSenseless’s chickenshit smile you’re left with an empty suit.

    I won’t be surprised if someone from left field comes in to clean up the mess tRaitor tRump made.

    Probably won’t matter, President Joe just might fool everyone and win … AGAIN!
