Free Republic is becoming a kooky anti Trump anti VAX fringe site. Hard to take much longer. I may OPUS out.

People need to remember that! It’s simply stunning how fast he turned things around despite having to fight the Dems, the Pubs and media! He totally transformed this nation despite all their best efforts to trash him. Last I knew, Trump was still fighting 34 lawsuits against him!

“ And, at least according to people like you who took my most recent Twitter poll,”

_________________________

What the heck is this baloney?

One, Twitter polls are meaningless considering the shadow banning of anyone and everyone that Twitter classifies as either a conservative or a Trump supporter.

Two, a great many of President Trump’s supporters deleted their Twitter accounts the day Twitter banned President Trump from Twitter.

Three, why would he assume his readers are all his followers on Twitter? I deleted my Twitter account with 20k+ followers the day they banned President Trump and I never even knew Schlicter was on Twitter.

The fact that anyone, especially someone like Kurt Schlicter, would leverage a rigged and unscientific Twitter poll to make their point calls into question their whole objective.

Trump deserves criticism for a lot of things, but his cabinet selections aren't among them.

Cabinet posts require Senate confirmation. Trump didn't select his cabinet; Mitch McConnell did.

If Ron DeSantis had been elected President in 2016, his cabinet would have looked nearly identical to the one Trump put together.

And let's get over this silly adulation for Mike Pompeo, folks. Before he was appointed as the Secretary of State he was the director of the CIA while that agency was working hard behind the scenes to undermine Trump.

"Trump is radioactive in many ways and much to do with these vaccines and the eventual outcome of these present and future long term side effects."

A young conservative female on Twitter one day tweeted, if Trump had won, CNN would be 24/7 all over the side effects. I have been saying for a while, they (the Progisphere) will pivot to the side effects and go full throttle again against PDJT if he throws his hat in the ring, Mnra producers revenue be damned. I said pretty much that a few months back on what has become not just a national but international talk show, and the Host groaned, he got it.

With that said, in my Trumpian circles talking to the guys, it's 4 to 0 DeSantis. They see this guy unfiltered, aka following what he is doing in FLA and are gobsmacked. They love Trump, but you have to admit 2 things, they don't want to go back to the never ending news-cycle / trying to destroy the man, and frankly I think they are tired, they want to move on. Now that doesn't prevent the Progishpere from trying to destroy him, they will.

Meeting many Floridian's via a couple of events I have attend, the residents couldn't be more DeSantian, aka "We have the best Governor in the Nation!" is just one of the accolades. That's what I see and hear talking to folks. The talk show guy I alluded too has opined his kids will ask him not too run. aka they realize the Seep Dtate will do anything to stop him, and at that point it's all about spending more time with them and the grand-kids.

With Trump sitting at 90%+ approval rating among Republicans, they’re trying really hard to astroturf DeSantis support.

Only if he’s running for President Trump of Florida. We all admire him and he could be ready later, but even in republican polls he comes in second way behind Trump. If he want to end up like Cruz then he should run against Trump and the rest of us will resent him and not turn out.

Sorry, those who are pushing DeSantis now are deliberately trying to ruin his political future.

Trumps a doer.....he got things done and this with a mighty push against him. He dared to rile politicians and frankly kept on going ahead. Got through what he could and didn’t wait around if it failed...just kept right on going.

Are your alleged "Trumpian" DeSantis people maybe little kids? Did they forget the George W. Bush years and how everything that went wrong was put on Bush? "It's Bush's fault" was a meme for years while he was President. They accused him of being a war criminal, attacked him mercilessly, put out fraudulent National Guard memos, "fake but accurate," etc.

There will be no "peace" with the media if you're a Republican, even a swamp dweller. The media is under the control of the Communist camp and will mercilessly.

Considering Trump's approval ratings, I think you just happened to find 4 retards, and not an indication of burgeoning DeSantis support. I remember these same sorts of comments being made about Cruz, and now the anti-Trump propaganda from the same sorts of Cruz people has come back, but with DeSantis as the new Cruz.

It certainly seems to be.......( I understand)
...some days I am so weary...
..and so disappointed to find out certain people here aren’t what I once thought

....but we need to stay in the fight, there are still some very good people here
and this Forum is worthy! and our opinion may be needed

I’m not ready to cede it to the naysayers and trolls.

Trump is proven. Trump has the battle scars. Trump has paid the price. I hope nobody challenges him. DeSantis needs to take care of Florida, and his wife needs to recover. I don’t even favor a Trump/DeSantis ticket, as I don’t see DeSantis taking second spot any more than Trump.

I wouldn’t mind seeing Ben Carson as the VP pick.
