DeSantis: Trump Is Too Old for Presidency
Breitbart ^ | November 19, 2023 | Pam Key

Posted on 11/19/2023 3:13:45 PM PST by Macho MAGA Man

Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that former President Donald Trump was too old to be president of the United States.

Anchor Jake Tapper said, “Your campaign keeps a running list and keeps tweeting a running list of Donald Trump’s fumbles and accidents and confused moments, that’s what they call them, saying this is why his handlers won’t let him debate, noting times that trump has forgot what state he is in, times he has confused Biden and Obama, confused Kristi Noem and on and on. What do you think about Donald Trump’s mental fitness? Do you think he’s too old to be president?”

DeSantis said, “I have said publicly the president is not a job for an 80-year-old. Donald Trump will be order on July 2025 than Biden was in January 2021. But this is not the same guy as the Trump in 2015 and ’16. That guy would show up on the debate stage, he would barnstorm. Yes, he was off-color, he was edgy, but it was all part of an idea that he was really going to shake things up. Now he’s wedded to the teleprompter, he’s not willing to debate, and he’s running on many of the same things he promised to do in 2016 and didn’t deliver.”

Now the bootman is going around putting his boot in his mouth.


He’s thinking rhetoric like this will give him a lift.

“ I beg to differ. Trump is just right to be president. He’s smart and fit health wise at his age. He in a hell of a lot better…”

Did you read the headline?

This is about DeSantis, not Trump

DeSantis is foot stomping. He is mad as Hilary that Trump isn’t getting thrown in jail and defamed

Reminds me of what Reagan said in a debate (or interview?), others will remember better:

“I don’t hold my opponent’s youth and inexperience against him”.

Billionaire Donor Twitches – DeSantis Falls to Fifth Place in Bifurcated New Hampshire

November 18, 2023 | Sundance | 648 Comments

New Hampshire is made up of two generally strong dispositions inside the Republican apparatus.  This is a similar state operation to the Wisconsin structure of corporate club republicanism.   Wisconsin and New Hampshire GOPe are very similar to each other.  [POLLING DATA]

In New Hampshire, you have the traditional control apparatus (Bush group) and the voting base of Republicans (TP/MAGA centric); the two groups are deadlocked in a battle for control.  Essentially, the party apparatus vs the will of the people.

In 2016, using the ground organization of Corey Lewandowski, the Trump team was able to overwhelm the club apparatus in New Hampshire and give the TP/MAGA voices the directional power.  The party apparatus does not like that and has been fighting back ever since.

The billionaire class have been looking for a savior, some candidate that can supplement the DC Lawfare attack against Trump and provide an alternative.  They have failed miserably.   In part, their failure is because the traditional billionaire club control apparatus talks to themselves inside an echo chamber; much like the DC beltway, the professional Republicans just don’t understand the issues and dynamics of core Main Street, core MAGA voters.

WE THE PEOPLE continue to overwhelm the GOPe apparatus, because we refuse to be controlled.  It’s a new era, the message is understood; the awakening is well underway… old schemes like the plans used to destroy the Tea Party will not work because there are more people paying attention to the accurate aspects of U.S. politics.

DeSantis was the GOPe foil; everything planned to enhance and support the DeSantis candidacy was planned long ago.  Long before the DeSantis campaign launched, the RGA/RNC and Sea Island billionaire donors had that plan well in place.  The 2022, a $20 million contribution from the RGA to DeSantis was part of that laundry mechanism to provide support for a 2024 presidential bid.

It’s not a goofy conspiracy theory any longer to admit; the institutions of the party apparatus (RNC and DNC), two wings of the same UniParty vulture, are every bit as corrupt as the DC system they were developed to support.

In New Hampshire the Bush clan has failed, with DeSantis who now drops to 5th place behind Trump, Haley, Christie, and Ramaswamy.  How can Chris Christie poll at 3rd place?  Easy answer – it’s GOPe apparatus polling from Monmouth and shared by The Washington Post.  However, don’t dismiss the message just because of the messenger; instead, look deeper at what this message means.

DeSantis and Nikki Haley were battling for Sea Island money. Each of them positioning to be the destination of the funds to support the Never Trump coalition of globalists.   Haley appears to have won the most favor amid that control group, after months of visible failure by the DeSantis team.

On a pure messaging and candidate viability scale, Haley is worse -a lot worse- than DeSantis.  Yet, the billionaire class do not measure success by the same metrics as voters; so, she is viewed more favorably.  Both will fail; the upshot of Haley will be of much shorter duration than the climb/fall of DeSantis.   That’s the club problem, and it cannot be cured.

New Hampshire is a good bell weather state to watch, from the perspective of understanding how much the voters can see of the schemes around them.

The illusion of choice has long been the #1 threat I have discussed on these pages, and the reason is simple… It’s the biggest threat.  In the past, the larger electorate fell into traps created by the professional political class; however, it’s a new era in American politics, and my hope is that people can see the strings on the marionettes.

The only true adversary the system has is Donald Trump. That’s why they, both parties, are going to such extreme lengths to get rid of him.

“Losing more respect for DeSantis every time he opens his mouth.”

I was such a DeSantis fan before he started campaigning for this office.

He’s destroyed his political future with his mouth.

DeSantis keeps digging up ways to motivate people NOT to vote for him.

He seems to feel a misguided sense of entitlement to be president despite a complete lack of enthusiasm for his candidacy.
