How can treehouse keep a straight face when he calls Desantis a corporatist? This is the governor who cancelled disneys tax perks and banned private employers from mandating vaccines.

Desantis was accused of not acting like a “traditional Tepublican” when he refused to defer to companies that were trampling on peoples rights. He replied that his obligation was to defend peoples freedom, not protect business’ freedom to curtail freedom

Trump desperately tried to build the wall but McConnell and Paul Ryan defied him funding for it in the first two years. Then Obama and Bush judges thew up roadblocks. It was astonishing how he got 400 miles built.

There is no one like Trump. True. There is no one like DeSantis. True. There is no one like you, or me.

We are all on the same team. The wide receiver thinks every play should be a pass. The offensive line loves the run play up the middle. The kicker want people to recognize that he scores the most points. The defense wants people to recognize that a good defense and turnovers win most games.

To win, all of us have to recognize that we are a team.

All we can do is wait and see. Many of these people are the usual elitist class ruling class that want no part of the MAGA movement which is the motto for these One World Globalists. Trump is their enemy and they will look for any shrill to do their dirty work like the puppet masters that put Demented Joe in. Wait and see. God is in charge. Trump definitely was not supposed to win in 2018. So all these articles out there I take with a grain of salt.

Trump endorsed Ron Desantis at the rally. So all this b.s. is still unproven.

Look, NOOB, why do you post crap like this which is intended merely to create division and rancor in our ranks? We are blessed to have candidates such as Trump, DeSantis and Kari Lake who are all WILLING TO FIGHT FOR US.

Give it a rest, please.

Ok, you don’t trust Desantis.

Other than Trump, do you trust anyone in the political arena? Who has Trump groomed to follow him/succeed him as leader of the MAGA movement?

If Trump dies tomorrow, is there any politician you would trust to be the MAGA candidate? Or is your political focus all about one man, and not a larger ongoing cause that will continue for our children and grandchildren?

When I read the treehouse guy, it seems like he follows Trump and no one or nothing else, so I wonder where such a person will turn when Trump ages out or passed away.

I trust Rand Paul. I trust Gen. Flynn.

DeSantis is on the short list. But if he’s playing footsie with mcconnel / mccarthy / paul ryno then that’s a big problem.

I agree, we need Trump to groom a successor that can be trusted. But he hasn’t done well at picking people.

Kari Lake might be ready in 2028. We’ll see how she does as Gov.

I’m not buying the divisions you are selling. DeSantis has done a great job in Florida. He might be BETTER as President than Trump was. Or not. But grow a pair, baby, and we’ll see how things play out over the next 2 years.

Either way, and ANY way, I’ll commit now to vote for the Republican nominee. What about you?

Read this in the comments of the article:
In Illinois, Griffin backed Richard Erwin, a phony populist and anti-Trumper, in the Republican primary for governor. Both Democrat Governoor Pritzker AND Trump backed Darren Bailey.

Trump backed Bailey because he’s a legit conservative. Pritzker backed Bailey because he thought Bailey would be easier to beat than the phony Erwin, who is Black. Then before the primary was even held, when it became obvious Erwin would lose, Griffin high-tailed it to Florida. Florida?

Uh oh. Now Bailey is giving Pritzker a run for his money, and Griffin has moved on to backing another not-Trump horse against Trump.

This guy is an investment guru? He sure can’t pick political candidates. Perhaps he should stick to the OTHER rigged game, crony capitalism.

Any respect this website could have had is lost forever with me. Why do hit pieces on very important republican candidates two days before the midterms? Enough of this garbage.

I trust Rand Paul but don’t see him as a viable contender. He doesn’t project the forcefulness that’s needed to be a dynamic presidential candidate. That’s not a criticism, it’s just an appraisal of his appearance and quiet manner of speaking. Also, the libertarian thing is good for foreign policy but unrealistic on domestic policy. Trump ran with promises to rebuild infrastructure and to bring jobs back from overseas. Libertarians don’t talk or think that way.

As for Gen Flynn, I’m sorry but he seems like a loose cannon, and not a careful man. Starting with his mistake in allowing himself to be interviewed by the FBI with no counsel present. Total shockingly bush league.

Kari Lake has incredible talent - and strong principles but needs to lose some of the bombast. She may be our future.

All that matters is the part mentioning Citadel investments Ken Griffin. Is it true or is it not true?

If it is a lie and this Griffin guy never said any of this, then that is reprehensible. If it is true, then people should be aware of it and decide if that is something that is okay for them.

Wow, Trump is not responsible for illegals. If you think DeSantis is going to end it with people like Ryan and Romney supporting him, you are going to have a rude awakening some day.

You seem somewhat unhinged. Overly excitable.
