Joe Henderson: Turnout for Donald Trump’s Sarasota rally sends a clear message
Florida Politics ^ | July 6th 2021 | Joe Henderson

Posted on 07/06/2021 1:09:16 PM PDT by Jacquerie

The turnout for Trump's "Save America" rally in soggy Sarasota should remind everyone the former President will leave the stage when he is good and ready. And he's not ready. The “Save America” rally for former (repeat, former) President Donald Trump Saturday in Sarasota sent an unmistakable warning to Florida Democrats and, maybe, Gov. Ron DeSantis, too.

Trump’s true believers still believe, and there’s no room in their hearts and minds for anyone else. That’s true, even if it means siding with Trump against a Governor they really like. Why else would thousands sit through buckets of rain to hear their heartthrob make the same points he makes every time he opens his yap.

Democrats, bad! Election stolen! Witch hunt!

MAGA!!

But his people listened in adoration, even though they’ve heard it again and again. It’s like a movie they’ve watched 20 times and know every line by heart, but they can’t wait to see it for the 21st time. They will savor that showing as much as the first one. “This is the kind of persecution they’re doing, as an example in New York, that you would see in Third World nations,” he told the crowd. “It’s reminiscent of a communist dictatorship targeting its political opponents … There’s no depth to which the radical left will not sink to stop our Make America Great Again movement.”

Um, communist dictators aren’t the only ones to target political opponents. Or did everyone forget how Trump wanted his Attorney General to investigate and even arrest Hunter Biden, Joe Biden, Jim Comey, and Hillary Clinton, among others?

He pressured then-Vice President Mike Pence to invalidate Biden’s election, even though there was no legal ground to do so. He bullied Georgia leaders to “find” him enough votes to win the state in the 2020 election. We could go on and on.

True believers know all that, and they don’t care. Don’t try to explain it and, whatever you do, don’t bring up Trump’s legal issues, the lies he tells, and the Jan. 6 insurrection. You’re wasting your breath.

They. Do. Not. Care.

They never will, either, because they believe the other side is more crooked and the Deep State is covering it up.

Meanwhile, DeSantis didn’t attend the rally because he was on the job at the collapsed condo in Surfside. Trump said he understood but, interestingly, didn’t mention DeSantis at the rally.

DeSantis has been a Trump loyalist from the get-go, but his popularity is rising, and that could put him in the crosshairs. In Trump’s world, there is no room for anything but total loyalty.

Some sour Leftist grapes and BS from Henderson, but grudging acknowledgement of our deep devotion to, and respect of, President Trump. Heh. Heh.

Never mind the fact the media has been been repeating their fake news, and pushing their radical agendas daily for decades.

It must have really pained Joe Henderson to write an article that provided good news about former President Trump.
Well, Joe, better get used to having your tummy all tied up in knots, because as you admitted, Trump is not done yet, and a lot of Americans are thrilled to know it.

Not to mention public schools have become nothing but indoctrination centers, all run by American hating misfits, who every year produce hundreds of thousands of newly minted American hating leftist.

Trump still draws huge rallies, even though the participants risk solitary jailtime and torture just for exercising their First Amendment rights. It is like the 1770s.

I could live with that team. Though I think deSantis might do more good for another term as Governor of Florida.

Joe, you don't know what you're talking about and you're climbing way past your speed. Go back to your career as a singer and entertainer.

Half of what the author said is lies. The bit about Pence and “finding votes.”

The number of people attending Trump’s rally really sticks in this guy’s craw. It will really get his panties in a bunch when he realizes about 2 MILLION people have watched the rally online.

But they totally don’t get it.

It’s not that we are hypnotized, or in some kind of a trance.

We happen to be the people who want to make America great again, and President Trump has shown us that he knows exactly what we mean by that.

He knows we are out there, he knows we are a hundred million strong and growing.

He tells the truth about what is wrong and how to fix it.

The Leftists are so used to peddling their Marxist lies, they can’t even conceive of a sincere side of politics, where the politician tells the truth and actually intends to represent the people whose support he seeks.
