As Ronald Magnus said, “facts are stubborn things.”

Trump 2024 people are acting unhinged already, and this is with him having a comfortable primary polling lead and the election being far away. Imagine their hysterics if it’s a month before the Iowa Caucus and Trump and DeSantis are tied in the polls.

"Didn’t DeSantis also screw up Lee Zeldin’s election for governor of NY too?"

Oh, please do elaborate. I really want to hear this twisted-into-a-pretzel logic.

You’ll have to imagine that scenario because it will never happen IRL.

"Former President Donald Trump, another Florida resident, took shots at DeSantis for the Jacksonville loss, saying in a social media post on Truth Social: “Wow! In a big upset, the DeSanctimonious backed Republican candidate for Mayor of Jacksonville, Florida, LOST. This is a shocker. If they would have asked me to Endorse, he would have won, easily. Too proud to do so. Fools! This is a BIG LOSS for the Republican Party. Remember, “Rob” only won because of me!!!”

" But one of Trump’s own campaign advisers — Susie Wiles — is a longtime friend and ally of Davis who informally gave him advice in his run for mayor.

Christian Ziegler, the chair of the Republican Party of Florida, contended that Deegan’s win was unique and noted that one of Davis’ GOP opponents in the March primary helped damage him ahead of the general election. “We had a huge bloody primary where millions of dollars were spent to rip apart the eventual Republican nominee,” Ziegler said. “The clock ran out and we didn’t have enough time to recover.”

There were a few more things going on in the loss besides DeSantis not being there.

I live there. It’s not DeSantis’ fault.

Yeah, he might have helped but we had something like a 33% voter turnout. If it is anyone’s fault, it’s ours.

Democrats just do a better job at the ground game in big cities. And in this case even the Dems didn’t exactly do a great job.

Can’t blame voter fraud either. Jacksonville and most of Florida runs a pretty tight ship in that regard.

I don’t understand the destructive, petty, political behavior between Trump and DeSantis. They should be allies. This article and the Trump-DeSantis feud makes me think we’re being deliberately sabotaged.

That looks like a normal laugh on Trump...lol

This guy DeSantis went from hysterical laughter, to serious in less than 3 seconds. Watch the video for a *unique* perspective.☺ And the comment that sent him into hysterics, was not even funny. He don't know how to act. lol

Hey, I bet a golfer got a bad score at a Trump course, shall we post a big headline blaming this on Trump?

The article didn’t get your approval so now you’re hear crying. You should complain to the moderator. Tell them to ban him.

I literally typed "Lol" which is the opposite of crying.

"you’re hear crying"

Your grammar is terrible. Typical trumpie.
