Ron DeSantis has broken with 70 percent of the Republican base, telling NBC News, “Of course [Trump] lost: Joe Biden’s the President.” The stunning remarks, though caveated with complaints about mail-in voting and ballot harvesting, are unlikely to endear DeSantis to his party’s voters, a majority of whom are already soured by the Florida Governor’s lackluster campaign and toxic online strategies.
DeSantis, who has spent the last two weeks watching some of his chief donors abandon his beleaguered presidential campaign, told NBC News: “Whoever puts their hand on the Bible on Jan. 20 every four years is the winner,” before being pressed for a “yes or no” answer as to whether or not Trump lost.
“No, of course he lost: Joe Biden’s the President,” he shot back, before going on to blame Trump for “turn[ing] the government over to Fauci” and signing the CARES Act which funded mail-in ballot expansion. In reality, the CARES Act was supported by almost every Republican in Congress – a fact which seems to have escaped DeSantis’s attention.
DeSantis is currently projected to lose in every state in the Republican nominee race to Donald Trump and is forecasted just 159 delegates votes, trailing the former President by over 2,000.
Toast…
witness for the prosecution
RIP DeSantis campaign.
So it’s official: Florida will suddenly swing blue in 2024. DeSatanist saying this means they know they can get away with it because he will cuck out, or he and the democrats have cut a backroom deal giving him lots of bags of money so when Florida goes blue he will just say “well gee golly willikers guys, cheating isn’t real so we must have lost fair and square!”
I seriously hate this guy. He’s not playing for the country. He’s not playing for the team. I’m not sure he’s even playing for himself (he’s doing that badly, if he is). I think he’s just carrying water for the Deep State.
He just had his Asa Hutchinson/Mike Pence moment. Its over.
DeSantis just admitted he’s anti-MAGA.
That my friends is political suicide.
Just proving his principles are for sale to the highest bidder/funder.
Time to play Taps
Whew! Good thing you found this story. It would be a shame if the Gold Star families received attention today when they finally had a platform to speak after losing their brave soldiers in Afghanistan at the Kabul airport.
I’ve never supported Rhonda. But he’s right that people are sick of this 2020 whining. Rudi G, Dinesh, and the pillow guy have never turned up a shred of proof. They’ve all been humiliated continually for the past 3 years.
Time to move on from 2020. People are tired of this Algore 2000 behavior. No one wants to hear about ancient history, especially when there is no proof, just urban legends and hurt feelings.
Florida started trending more Republican only after they started clamping down on democrat voter fraud in that state.
What a stupid stance for DeSantis to take.
He could have said that we all know about democrat fraud, then fault Trump for not taking it more seriously. Then, he could use as an example how Florida DID take it seriously, made fixes, and the positive results...
In the US, getting 65-70% voter turn out is considered good.
in 2020, there were 168m registered voters. Trump got 75m and Biden was given 81m.
that’s 156m votes... or 93% turnout.
denying there was any shenanigan’s is playing along with the cover-up
He didn’t say there wasn’t a cheat, he said whoever is sworn in Jan 20 is President. So the headline is a lie. He also said Trump helped fund the mail in ballot mess. True or not true?
It seems the worst election ever happened under Trump’s watch. Or was it under the power Trump gave to Fauci?
Too bad Republicans have to lie about Republicans. We have another party for that.
This scorched earth stuff is self-defeating.
You’re correct in today’s environment. Since he was probably politically toast at this point, maybe he decided he needed a clean conscience.
He and his staff are too dumb or lazy to do their homework. Every month, he makes some dopey, inaccurate statement. He’s learning from 30 Pence how to lose an election.
Why is it only Trump? If Trump gets 4 years and he hasn’t cleaned the deep state anymore than he did his first 4 years, then what?
DeSanchez is far far more stupid than Is thought
I’m glad I knew not to jump on his stupid sinking ship
Bye bye, Ron. It’s over.
