“To say trump is a narcissist is a lazy way to argue this. And it’s old.”

I’m not diagnosing Trump, it is my opinion. You’ve obviously decided for yourself.

[stanne]

Ya. Whatever.

[heavy metal]

trump also claims the experimental shots are “safe and effective”...

[stanne]

I never listened to Trump on shots. All the people I know who took shots and more rounds hate Trump.

[heavy metal]

thank you for admitting trump can’t be trusted...

[stanne]

I trust Trump.

I don’t take medical advice from politicians, elected or not

Trump never expected me to nor did he ever force anyone to.

[dragnet2]

Trump can't be trusted, but DeSantis, the career professional politician who's never held a career outside government can be trusted???

Right.

Trumps builds a planet wide empire and DeSantis never held a career outside government..Who’s got more life experience and skills?

It's not always experience

Gezuz...So professional politician fans say having experience is over rated or somehow doesn't really matter??

You DeSantis supporters are a hoot! wow...

[heavy metal]

my supporting my governor and appreciating the outstanding job he’s doing for us floridians isn’t a crime...

your willful ignorance and hypocrisy is on full display...

[heavy metal]

why should floridians take any advice from you?...

[dragnet2]

heavy metal; "Trump flags and banners were burned in celebration in my neighborhood this past friday night"

Looken sharp DeSantis supporter!

Then why hasn't Trump done anything but buy a new social media site to cry about it, instead of actually taking some action? He collected $250M under the guise of "election security" yet hasn't spent an actual dime on that, as far as anyone can tell. He won't even join in the lawsuits against Dominion, what is he scared of? Or hiding from.

Trump's PAC raised over $100 million for the mid-terms and spent a fraction of that on Trump-endorsed candidates. Trump kept the money. Mitch McConnell spent more on Trump-endorsed candidates than Trump. Prove me wrong.

The FACT that Trump is now a 5-time loser as leader of the party demonstrates he cannot learn from past defeats to rise up and win. The FACT that Trump supported McCarthy and McDaniel to lead the party....again....after horrible losses demonstrates he is unfit to win in 2024.

The FACT that Trump LIED about Kathy Barnette to ensure child genital mutilator Dr Azz was Pennsylvania's nominee for US Senate disqualifies him from leading the party again.

The FACT that Trump still supports the deadly (and useless) vaccines while not realizing Covid-19 is only deadly to a very small segment of our society disqualifies him to lead again.

5-Time loser Trump: 2018 2020, 2020 Special elections in Georgia, 2022, 2022 Special Election in Georgia....and make no mistake....Trump was the leader of the GOP for all those elections with his endorsed and supported leadership.

[Erik Latranyi]

You might want to give the legislature in Fla a little credit for implementing policy.

Absolutely.....the legislature that DeSantis helped get elected and expanded by sending funds from his gubernatorial campaign to targeted districts at the state and federal level.

DeSantis candidates in Florida did better than Trump candidates nationwide.

Oh, and then DeSantis did sign multiple, truly conservative pieces of legislation as well.

[Erik Latranyi]

That said, absolutely none of this really matters until the republicans figure out how to get ballots to the ballot box. What the democrats accomplished in 2022 was to retain and gain complete control of the balloting in az nv and pa.

I have been shouting this since 2020. Trump and his chosen team (McCarthy and McDaniel) how ZERO signs that they changed tactics to combat ballot harvesting and uncontrolled registration.

That alone disqualifies Trump and his team in my book.

[heavy metal]

my defending my governor for doing his job and protecting our citizens and our citizens children from the looney leftists indoctrination and their wokeness isn’t a crime...

your willful ignorance and hypocrisy is on full display...

[Erik Latranyi]

...but I think Trump is getting very bad advice from someone.

I am so sick and tired of hearing this about Trump!!!

He chooses lousy staff because of bad advice. He endorses crappy candidates because of bad advice. He attacks DeSantis because of bad advice.

When will someone hold TRUMP accountable for his actions instead of trying to blame others?

[heavy metal]

bingo...

[Erik Latranyi]

What a stupid post. You are using the same "association" that was used against Trump during the Russian Collusion nonsense.

Someone connected to Trump is linked to a Russian oligarch, therefore Trump is guilty of being Putin's puppet.

You knew it was a lie then, but you try to use the same infantile tactic now because you cannot defend Trump's attacks on DeSantis.

[Erik Latranyi]

DeSantis has governed better than any conservative could hope...he took on Disney, woke, LGBTQ, voter fraud, voter ID, etc, etc, etc and it is not enough for some people. They still wish to claim DeSantis is a Trojan horse who only supported and signed this legislation to fool us.

These are people who do not look at job performance, but personality. I get it. Trump was a great disrupter in 2016 and he tore the establishment apart. Trump helped expose the swamp.

But Trump has no evolved and changed with how the swamp has evolved and changed. That is why he keeps losing elections as leader of the party.

DeSantis has PROVEN he can rib the left just as well as Trump without all the drama and hysteria.

I loved Trump's accomplishments. He set the standard for no new wars, confront China, repatriate manufacturing, border control, etc.

But he offers nothing new now other than Executive Orders to stop Federal agencies from engaging in suppression of free speech? Sorry, but they will run around that as fast as they ran around his withdrawal from Syria.
