For a second, I thought “rintintin” got unzotted.
“The ABC News/Ipsos poll” ... Is only slightly more credible than The Hill. LOLOL
Stupidty:
Using your sworn, deceptive enemy to try and prove your point.
Sheesh.....”the Hill” is still trying... here’s the authors “E-Blog”.....what a dork.

Of COURSE we’re gonna listen to leftists when charting the course of the GOP. /s
DeSantis as heavy online campaign and lots of money given by big donor establishment types; in truth he is a Jeb Bush he not known outside of florida and from what I have seen of him he is just a ordinarly slimy polititician...he as no chance of beating Trump for nomination...for his own good he should kiss up to Trump and hope to run in 2028 even then he may not win the nominiation.
Not true!
Either/Or.
DeSantis is crushing it in Florida. He deserves a shot.
If Trump can play nice, he deserves a shot.
But if Trump goes scorched earth on the Republican field, he will deserve the loss he gets in 2024.
It’s the sHill
But i am confused because every other poll shows Trump heads and shoulders above the GOP field in a potential 2024 run.
Going scorcher earth on the Republican field is exactly what Trump did in 2016. And guess what — he won.
What I am worried about is Gov. DeSantis getting Scott Walker syndrome. Kickass governor who got blinded by presidential ambition His focus on 2016 and not so good outcome squandered the 2014 mandate and basically stuck all the reforms in a ditch. He went through the motions in 2017 and 2018,could not turn it on again, and lost to sock puppet Tony Evers. The result is we in Wisconsin have been suffering for this. I hope history does not repeat itself-
Trump is an alpha so expect a lively approach to anyone who threatens his ambitions. With that being said, if Trump says hes running DeSantis wont imho. I have a feeling Trumps endorsement record is about skyrocket soon.
Sure they do- go away and think of another “wedge” issue.
...they’re still trying to save the RINO/GOP by trying to divide us. We need Trump now and DeSantis next.
“Trump now and DeSantis next”
Should be a bumper sticker.
A week ago, Colorado senate republican candidate Joe O’Dea said on CNN,
“I don’t think Donald Trump should run again.”
He quickly added,
” I’m going to actively campaign against Donald Trump and make sure that we have got four or five really great Republicans right now; Ron DeSantis, Nikki Haley and Tim Scott.”
President Trump blasted O’Dea the following day {link}.
Today, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis picked Joe O’Dea as his only 2022 endorsed senate candidate {link}, recording a robocall for O’Dea that says,
“Hello this is Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. America needs strong leadership and desperately. That’s why I’m endorsing Joe O’Dea for U.S. Senate. Colorado, please vote for Joe O’Dea.”
Keep in mind, Ron DeSantis is a governor who campaigns on his success as a governor and has been rallying exclusively for governor candidates. However, despite not endorsing the republican candidate in the Colorado state race (Heidi Ganahl), Governor DeSantis went out of his way to support the only explicitly anti-Trump Senate candidate in 2022, Joe O’Dea.
However, the transparency of DeSantis endorsing O’Dea who has stated his intent to actively campaign against any MAGA candidate… well, you can’t say that had nothing to do with DeSantis.
Face it.
This is what is clear.
The DeSantis 2024 organizers are a mixture of allied republican establishment figures, corporate party donors and former Ted Cruz base supporters (Never Trumpers) who have united in common cause to stop the MAGA working-class coalition from taking full control of the republican party. An endorsement for DeSantis from Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger is increasingly likely as soon as the midterm election is over.
Ron DeSantis is increasingly being exposed by his own actions/inactions and the actions of others.
Let us not pretend any longer.
I could smell the establishment GOP in the Florida winds over the spring and summer. When DeSantis went into the bunker on the day of the FBI Mar-a-Lago raid, remained silent for 5 days, and then exited bunker with a new establishment brand image crew and communications team, it was obvious what just happened.
We accept things as they are, not as we would wish them to be. 94% funded by Wall Street hedge fund managers, billionaires and multinational corporations,… to the tune of over $200,000,000….. with a national campaign launch, book launch and national television advertising strategy…. It became brutally obvious.
- Five Days in Bunker following Mar-a-Lago Raid 8/9/22
- No expressed support for Donald Trump following Mar-a-Lago raid 8/9/22.
- New brand image consulting team 8/14/22
- New communications team 8/14/22
- National advertising campaign
- 94% billionaire and corporate funding
- Raised $200+ million for state governor race?
- Cancels Lee Zeldin fundraiser after meeting with New York real estate donor who supports Hochul
- Endorsed by Club For Growth (C4G)
- Voted to support TPP trade agreement and Obama Fast Track trade authorization
- Supports all Ukraine funding and U.S. government spending in Ukraine
- Endorsed Florida Red Flag Laws, most firearm confiscation of any state
- Silent over the 100 Florida citizen J6 detainees (largest number in nation)
- Asked legislature to criminalize boycotts of Israeli companies, including pharmaceutical companies
- No support for E-verify system or employment law against illegal alien hires
- Endorsed by Paul Ryan
- Endorsed by Jeb Bush
Sooner or later people have to admit the obvious.
Ron DeSantis is a generally good governor, but he is being dishonest in his national intents.
I find this most disturbing. DeSantis is my Gov and he’s been great at it. However, I have noticed right along that he remains very silent about anything Trump, pro or con, and that silence was worrisome to me. Now your post tells me info that I hadn’t heard about, and this bothers me even more.
I’m now looking at DeSantis with new eyes, and I don’t like what I am seeing. In particular because I really don’t like the wishy washy RINO running in Colorado, O’Dea. Reminds me too much of a cross between Jeb Bush and Mitt Romney, both staunch anti-Trumpers. I don’t want another anti-Trumper in Congress, especially as it’s almost a guarantee that he will ally himself with McConnell and vote RINO more often than not.
Seems reasonable.
