I suspect DeSantis is supported by the Bush, Cheney, Paul Ryan wing of the Republican Party.

Oh, you don't have to "suspect" that.

Its a well-known fact!

DeSantis makes dumb moves, after dumb people convince him to run for President.

Trump Girl Kit Cat, I just love the power of your voice of righteous indignation and truth on this forum!

I have not heard from HarleyLady27 for a long time on FR. Hope that she’s still out there. But you’ve got the same fire-in-the-belly that she’s famous for here.

Keep up the wonderful commentary! I do look forward to your excellent way of cutting to the chase!

We’re on the road to Trump’s triumphant victory in 2024!

Rollins was never pro-Trump. He’s been anti-Trump from the word go. He’s GOPe, UNIPARTY till the day he dies.

DeSantis is a GREAT governor of FL.

DeSantis is a GREAT governor of Fl with the help of an Republican legislature that can’t be challenged, all but 3 counties SOLID RED, and lower municipal governments that are fully on board with the bills that the legislature writes, passes and DeSantis signs.

All of that possible, by Republican VOTERS voting for Republican government representatives.

Trump’s team of Fauci, Birx, and Wray!

Don’t you mean, Mike Pence’s team of Fauci and Birx...since he was the lead on the COVID Task Force and the one that brought them in?

I guess it doesn’t concern you that Birx admitted they were lying to the President and making things up, right?

As for Wray, yes he did pick him after consulting with folks that are supposed to be about the country and the people. To that, can you explain to FR how you would get your nominee past McConnell and Schumer, if said nominee wasn’t approved by them?

He was pro-Trump enough to run a super PAC for him in 2016, but I have no doubt that most strategists are just in it for a paycheck anyway. He strikes me as one of those types.

"Rollins was never pro-Trump. He’s been anti-Trump from the word go."

April 12, 2020: "On this Easter Sunday, @realDonaldTrump has delivered a message of hope. "Our Nation Will Come Through Like Never Before.” I know Americans are blessed to have Mr. Trump lead us through these uncertain times. God bless President Trump and God bless America!"

This is the first tweet I found where Rollins talks about Trump. There are many, many more. I think you should research before you comment.

So what you’re saying is that Trump was a neutered puppet. Sounds like he should not be anywhere near the White House ever again.

Actually what I’m saying is, like many others on this site, and the numbers seem to be growing, that you’re delusional and an absolute moron.

Care to share who you think should be there?

You’re the one who said Rollins was never a Trump guy, and I proved he was a HUGE Trump guy. So, who’s the moron?

Rollins, a political grifter looking for a job. Who then, when he found himself unemployed, went on to bashing Pres Trump as often as Fox or CNN would let him on the air.

He was, until recently, all in for DeSantis.

Question...Have you always been this dumb or did it happen over time?

No he’s not. Never was. Just a grifter in DC trying to ride some coattails. Nothing more.

I strongly support @realDonaldTrump

It’s why I ran the largest PAC supporting him in 2016, and every day since.

But I don’t support his team making bad decisions & wasting money.

This campaign is winnable but changes are needed.

America needs Trump’s second term. -Ed Rollins

Rollins ran the Great America PAC. You've already been proven wrong, and now you're just digging a deeper hole. You're a member of the Trump cult. Go lick the billionaire's wingtips and STFU.

We know where you stand.

Are you sad that your guy is falling apart?

That's the difference between you and me. I don't have a "guy." I have ideals and principles to which I subscribe. I only support candidates who align with those ideals and principles. You, on the other hand, worship a man. And it's pathetic.

I loved Tim Scott and would have voted for him had he not made those ridiculous comments about Florida's curriculum. The more I hear from Vivek, the more I like him. and I would absolutely vote for him. I am not tied to DeSantis, but he aligns with my views on guns and the economy and education and several other issues. Trump does not, so I do not support him.

You, on the other hand, would support Trump no matter what he says. You worship a New York City billionaire who spent 30 years rubbing elbows with Sharpton and Jesse Jackson and the Clintons. You're the one who has to square that circle, not me.

I have ideals and principles to which I subscribe ... and you gravitate to those that you’re dumb enough to think, think the same way as you do. You’re easily led by BS promises from career politicians and snakeoil salesman.

The more I hear from Vivek, the more I like him ... of course you do. Because you just fall in love with anyone that tells you what you want to hear.

I am not tied to DeSantis, but he aligns with my views on guns and the economy and education and several other issues ... Are those his issues or are they the issues of the Florida legislature that writes, passes and sends to the desk of your boy, DeSantis, for his signature and you’re of the thinking that he does it all alone. GUNS...what a great issue - the country is being invaded at an alarming rate and we haven’t even begun to feel the consequences that invasion is going to take on our property tax/school taxes, but you go ahead and worry about magazine capacity and Constitutional Carry.

I always find it amusing going back and forth with folks like you. Can’t really fall back on anything other than a temper tantrum like some liberal hipster.

As for me...

You, on the other hand, would support Trump no matter what he says ... NOPE. I don’t follow or support anyone based on what they say at some campaign stop or put out in some press release, after a focus group drafts their statement or tells them what to say, like you do.

You worship a New York City billionaire .... I don’t worship a NYC billionaire. But I do support a man that did what he could to get rid of the AHA since he got ZERO help from Congress, a man that used existing laws to reduce illegal immigration to its lowest levels in decades since he got ZERO help from Congress, a man who put together a team of men to renegotiate disastrous trade deals because he got ZERO help from Congress, a man that finally confronted NATO because he got ZERO help from Congress, a man that allowed our energy sector to thrive so we had gas for well under $2/gallon because he got ZERO help from Congress, a man that enabled some of the lowest unemployment numbers for blacks, hispanics because he got ZERO help from Congress, a man that reduced the number of H1B-visas so US tech workers could make more money and have better job opportunities because he got ZERO help from Congress.

There’s much more but it’s not worth listing it all for someone like you.

You....Vivek is having a campaign stop, go listen so he can tell you what you want to hear and you can pat yourself on the back.
