One thing I think most people are overlooking is how the Democrats will do anything to stop Trump, from fake Russian Collusion to fake impeachments and lies about 1/6, there is no level the Democrats will not go to in order to stop Trump.

I fully expect Trump and his children to be charged with crimes.

The NY AG is not above charging Trump and his children over their real estate dealings. Yes, its a liberal rag but don’t discount the message. Here’s an article published today.

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/ny-ag-says-investigation-trump-business-found-significant-evidence-sug-rcna12685

If the NY AG doesn’t charge Trump with a crime, look for the 1/6 commission to perhaps charge Trump with crimes.

Merrick Garland was not above sending the FBI against Virginia Parents, IMO he’s perfectly willing to charge Trump with something.

The charges would be totally bogus, but if Trump and his children are charged with crimes, it will cost him not only a fortune but make him running again for POTUS impossible.

You and DeSantis have a lot in common, dude.

You both got on the Branch Covidian bandwagon very early on in March/April 2020 ... and you've now been spending a lot of time and effort pretending that never happened, and acting like you're now freedom-loving patriots standing up against tyranny. Some of us don't forget these things.

I was trying to pick out the most egregious lie in this screed, as many of them as there are. I settled on this one.

A lot of GOPe squishes HATE Trump which is why we love him so.

If Kaslin posts it then it certainly suspect turning out to be crap most of the time.

“How did he “blow it”?“

Look at his cabinet. Other than his economic advisors and Pompeo, his cabinet was a four year DS dumpster fire. His cabinet level intelligence picks were the worst and most successful gang of insurrectionists in America’s history. One year out nothing of MAGA remains but Trump’s good work at VA. That Ryan/McConnell/CoC tax legislation is still there but that’s very bad news for millions of decent conservatives living in blue states. Oh yeah, that abysmally failed warp speed political concoction. If I’m making this up, please point out what I’m saying that is wrong. If your only response is to call me some reprehensible name, get in line.

And you can please STFU. Trump is pro vax and anti mandate and there is nothing wrong with that.

Dear Freepers,

You can be pro DeSantis without bashing Trump at the same time. GET IT?

‘If Trump runs Trump wins.’

Trump caught lightning in a bottle in 2016 running against an overconfidant opponent, who completely failed to see how despised she actually was; and thousands of people who voted for him then will be dead in three more years...

DeSantis against Trump in 2024...? it’s DeSantis’s to lose...

Very accurate. Trump could be a great force…if he doesn’t run and if he stops the nasty personal attacks on his rivals that ended up depriving him of a lot of support in the GOP down the line when he really needed it in the White House.

The problem with Trump is that he thinks it’s all about Trump, and all we would hear about him for the duration of the campaign is how badly he was treated, how he was cheated, etc. Both of those are true…he was treated badly, and he definitely was cheated out of the election in 2020.

But those things are over and done and we’ve got to move on. Investigate, find the guilty, yes…but we have incredibly urgent problems now (a lot of them provoked by Trump’s letting Fauci take over the last year of his presidency) and we need somebody with ideas and the ability to carry them out. I live in Florida, and DeSantis gets things done.

One of the ways I know this is that the Dem likely candidate for Governor compared him to Hitler…LOL! Always the sign that you’ve lost the argument, but also a sign that he gets things done and the Dems don’t like it.

He’s tough…great legal background, was a prosecutor with the JAG command, was assigned to deal with the Guantanamo prisoners, spent time in Iraq, etc.

Also, DeSantis plays well with others, so he gets support from other GOPers, with the exception of a couple of RINO mayors (and he made them behave themselves and cooperate, even so).

I hope Trump does the right thing and accepts the “gold watch,” which would be respect and affection and influence, and doesn’t end up in an ego-driven brawl which will result in the destruction of good candidates and the victory of the Dem - any Dem - in 2024. Or even the triumph of Dem candidates in 2022, because Trump’s actions will influence the crucial elections this fall as well (including Florida governor, which DeSantis must win).

If DeSantis goes against Trump then I will do everything and anything in my small world to talk him down and defeat him politically. I will never forgive or forget him (Desantis).

Which states did Trump lose in 2020 that DeSantis would win in 2024? Alternatively, which states did Romney lose in 2012 that DeSantis would win in 2024?

That's a very important question in a presidential election.

Never-Trumper rhetoric and emptiness. Guess you prefer endless political games over MAGA. How would you have gotten rid of the deep state, with the plethora of people that once fooled most people into thinking they were conservative but showed their true allegiance on 01/06/2021?

WHY are you and others posting hit pieces on Trump

Disrespectful, disgraceful and plain nasty!

WHY are you trying to create a war?

I love DeSantis for everything he has done for my state.....
.....BUT
he is NOT at the level where 45, 000 folks will drop everything to hear him

PRESIDENT TRUMP IS!

By “lose”, the ones that Trump didn’t really lose?
