For one, I never said that Trump did anything with his bare hands.

But, on that note, Pres Trump didn’t have veto-proof Republican majorities in the House and Senate. Rather, he was obstructed by Republican’s in Congress as much as he was by the Democrats.

Ergo, without any support from the Republican’s he was forced to find creative ways to get things done.

And that isn’t even bringing in all the pushback and lawsuits he dealt with from Democrat states.

The majority of government workers, especially in DC support the Democrats. What was it, something like 90% or more of their political donations went to Democrats?

Pres Trump had the entire fed monster working against him at every turn. While your boy has the complete opposite.

Add to that that Pres Trump also had about half the country hating him for waking up in the morning. While DeSantis enjoys a sizable Republican majority population in the state.

Idiots like you can’t get out of your own way.


Trump had even more people already in place from previous decades to fix the messes .... you must be talking about the rank and file government worker that hates the man, that did everything they could to subvert the man.

Or maybe your thinking of someone like Mattis. You know, the guy that admitted to lying to the President. The guy that stated that he voted for Clinton, wanted her to win and was looking forward to working for her. That guy.

Poor trumpie. Always a victim. Well you can hate DeSantis all day long. It’s dumb when trump will be the nominee. Why you are so threatened by DeSantis is weird. You think about him 24/7 which is weirder.

Not a poor Trumpie. Bur your response is indicative of the typical RDS fanboi. The only place he gets any support of from white, college educated suburban men in the South. Ergo, tassel shoe, popped collar on a polo shirt, junior chamber of commerce, junior member of the local country club, poser that went to either: Florida, Florida State, UGA, Alabama, Clemson, USC, Auburn, Ole Miss. Basically, your all Spalding from Caddyshack

Your boy is sinking like a rock and will soon be vanquished into the unknown.

Hard to be threatened by a media construct that isn’t nearly as good as fanboi’s like you think he is.

Nor do I think about DeSantis 24/7. He’s more or less an anonymous person to me. Always has been. He’s more anonymous than the Governor or N Dakota who, for some odd reason, decided to throw his hat in the same ring.

But, in typical RDS fashion, you fall back to childish, liberal, hipster type statements when you have nothing else. Easy to see because you cannot support anything when questioned about DeSantis or his “accomplishments”. For he, alone, has none other than picking a fight with the states largest private employer and not faring very well in that fight.

Everything you try to boast about was brought about by the Florida legislature and your idol just signed the bill. Which, in the end, even if he wanted to veto it, the veto would be overridden by the legislature.

So what. He won’t be president. At least he won two elections unlike trump who couldn’t and joins the ranks of Carter and bush 1. How proud.

Everybody seems to presume that Biden will be the nominee and that Trump can beat him. Supposing Biden isn’t the nominee and Trump with all his unfavorability ratings and baggage is up against a fresh, new Democrat nominee?

Biden should be a cinch to beat, yet most polls show the two of them virtually tied. Which is evidence that people, particularly independent voters, don’t like Trump. He should be way out in front, yet in some polls he even trails Biden. A senile, corrupt, failing presidential imposter is beating Trump? This shouldn’t be.

I think Trump is a weak and beatable opponent if Biden is removed from the picture. If Biden is the nominee, Trump still won’t be able to overcome the Democrat cheating and the fact that more than 50% of voters don’t like him and won’t vote for him.

We can’t afford to lose in 2024. Trump is not the candidate we should be betting on. He is getting increasingly shrill and angry in his social media posts. He has a right to be, but that isn’t helping our cause. It’s just turning off all but the most ardent Trump backers. The rest are just getting tired of the spectacle and want it to end so they can get on with their lives as they deal with high inflation, a declining dollar, layoffs, the woke culture, and all the rest.

Amazing that the RDS fanbois always revert back to these childish comments. Never being able to back up any claims they make.

As for DeSantis’ two elections, he was losing and losing bad to a drug addicted, homosexual until he got help from Pres Trump. Now, does that make it so he has to take a knee and swear fealty to Pres Trump? Absolutely not. Never. No way.

But, he was dumb enough to believe the nonsense peddled to him by the Establishment puppet masters. Put up there because they all told him he was awesome. And now, he’s losing ground to a closet Democrat, tech guy who just tells the crowd what they want to hear.

So, at the end of the day, all he did was expose himself as an empty suit. Someone that his fanboi’s propped up, while the country learned that damn near everything good happening in Florida is/was the result of some smart folks in the state legislature drafting and passing bills.

When you think about it, at this point Florida doesn’t really need a Governor. It has an emergency management system that pretty much runs itself after decades of dealing with hurricanes, flooding, etc. The legislature is doing all the work so they might as well get one of those robo-signing machines for all the bills it passes, as there’s nothing the Democrats can do about it.

You are a trip. You think that DeSantis supporters bash trump. At the same time you call DeSantis every name in the book. Even call him Ronda Santis for your transgender support. Hypocrites!

Please feel free to show me where I called your boi anything other than his name or used the abbreviation, RDS.

All one has to do is make the mistake of going on Twitter/X to see what all the DeSantis, paid for trolls say about Pres Trump and those that support him.

And, again, not once can you document anything that DeSantis has done that didn’t originate from the Florida legislature.

But, I’ll throw you a lifeline. He did make that doctor the State version of a Surgeon General or whatever his title is. So, one thing he did.

I would offer that whatever people do say about him, he having a bit of a cult following himself, it’s deserved and he brought it on himself.
