A number of Ron DeSantis supporters have taken to social media to announce they will vote for Democrat presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. before they unify behind Donald Trump, despite the DeSantis camp pitching the Florida Governor as a facsimile of Trump with less “baggage” and more “effective” administration.
“Since I have been reliably told for months by Trump supporters that they would write him in even if DeSantis or anyone else won the GOP primary, it’s good to have permission to support RFK in the general if DeSantis doesn’t win the GOP primary,” wrote DeSantis booster Scott Morefield, a blogger for the Townhall.com website. Townhall is owned by the Salem Media Group, which also owns the pro-DeSantis RedState, Twitchy, and other legacy “Conservative Inc” blog sites.
Other DeSantis supporters were quick to agree with Morefield, raising questions as to whether or not they are, in fact, Republican voters at all. Many pro-DeSantis activists on social media are anonymous, newly-created accounts.
“You nailed it Scott. These are the new rules,” said one.
“As long as Trump is not supporting the primary winner, neither am I if it’s him,” seethed another.
“They’re both Liberals, so I might as well go for a honest liberal who can’t be easily corrupted,” concurred a third.
Others, however, weren’t so keen on the new tactic of embracing the pro-abortion, anti-Second Amendment RFK Jr, with user John Ament replying, “We all knew you were a liberal.”
RJK Jr. has won some admirers on the right for his opposition to the medical establishment – including DeSantis himself – he is a fundamentally left-wing politician who supports greater gun control, and shared an article in favor of repealing the Second Amendment altogether. RFK Jr. has stated he would not support abortion restrictions after three months because it is “always the woman’s right to choose” whether to kill her unborn baby.
RFK Jr. is also on record as saying he believes he would take more votes from Trump than Biden as a third-party candidate.
Since I have been reliably told for months by Trump supporters that they would write him in even if DeSantis or anyone else won the GOP primary, it’s good to have permission to support RFK in the general if DeSantis doesn’t win the GOP primary. This is how it works, right?

Maybe it’s true. We’ve still got butthurt sore loser Cruz supporters here.
All 3 of them.
They should start working on that right now
Meatball isn’t going to win
And stamp their feet and hold their breathe until they turn blue?
Grow up, you little children!
“they would write him in even if DeSantis or anyone else won the GOP primary”
The fact is, nobody else will “win” the GOP primary. The GOP might decide to shoot themselves in the foot and rig the primary for someone else, but nobody else will win it.
I highly doubt this.
the butt sore Cruz supporters ARE the De Santa’s supporters.
Stupid is as stupid does...
Communist supporters do what comes naturally...
unlikable candidate and petty supporters
You can get off your tippy toes now.
No different from the “Only Ever Trump” crowd ...
Loyalty is important.
Our side lacks it from the days even before Perot.
A sad state of affairs.
Trump gave us so much for the good of the country. Yes, his ego, but he could have still had that without the torment he has faced.
DeSantis and Cruz (among the others) are for themselves.
Their inner radio station is always playing WIIFM.
WIIFM
What’s
In
It
For
Me.
Straight pipeline from Cruzbot to DeStupid, Zelensky and McCarthy supporters.
(those that didn’t become NeverTrumpers and vote for McMuffin and Biden)
which is a stupid thing to do.
The kid should have a snot nose to better reflect the sniveling meatball.
Only ever Trump crowd has been on his side since the Steele Dossier and your nation spying on him..
They aren’t ready to abandon a guy who is hated by the Bushes,Cheney’s,McCains,Romney’s, Obama’s,Birdens, Pelosi’s, either..
He’s their middle finger to your establishment
As with Tulsi Gabbard, Kristen Sinema, Joe Manchin, etc. I’m always shocked and saddened that so many people who pretend to be conservatives, suddenly embrace life-long leftists, just because they occasionally say one or two things that conservatives can agree with.... Or because they are ‘not Trump’.
