I watched the entire interview with Brett Baer. Baer asked tough questions. DeSantis was authentic, articulate and substantive. DeSantis reminded the audience that until Nov. 1, 2022, Trump was praising him as one of the country’s best governors. Three days after the election, Trump turned on him with a vengeance and unloaded $25M in despicable attack ads (from the left!).

He called Desantis’ pro-life legislation “too harsh”. When Desantis sent illegals to Martha’s Vineyard, Trump was eerily silent. Trump lent support to Disney’s LGBT agenda.

I understand that a large contingency of Trump loyalists on FR feel duty bound to parrot his every utterance. This morning, it was reported that Trump is getting cash strapped from $42m in legal expenses that is sure to grow in the coming months (not to mention a lot of time off the campaign trail while tied up in various courts).

I like Trump fine, but I also like winning elections. The NYT/Seina poll just out shows Trump with a wide lead in the GOP nominating contest, but it also shows him tied with Biden 43-43. Nothing excites and inspires Democrat turnout (especially in the swing states) like Trump on the ballot.

"I like Trump fine, but I also like winning elections."

You're not going to win elections with unlimited voter fraud being the law of the land. Both parties accepted it on January 6th. It's the reason that after 40+ years, I am no longer a member of the Republican Party. I won't belong to a party that doesn't have enough respect for me to even want to protect my ballot from voter fraud. Trying to overturn elections, and voter fraud isn't new. Every election, Democrats have armies of lawyers ready to go to court in order to get military ballots rejected. It's a game to them. Al Gore tried to overturn the 2000 election, but the Supreme Court stopped him. They wouldn't do anything about the voter fraud in 2020.

Republicans in Congress had control of both Houses of Congress at different times over the past 23 years since Gore tried to steal the White House, and they've done nothing. Never even brought up election reform in all that time. They pretend like it doesn't exist.

Has DeSantis ever bothered to mention, or thank his Republican majority State Legislature that gave him everything he wanted, even allowing him not to resign, in order to run for President? People think DeSantis did all those wonderful things all on his own, but the truth is, that DeSantis wouldn't have the record he has if it wasn't for the State Legislature backing him, and giving him the boost up. DeSantis has never served under a Democrat majority. When he was in the House of Representatives, Republicans controlled the House the whole time he was there. So let's be honest here. If DeSantis didn't have a more than 2 to 1 Republican majority in the Legislature, he'd be a nobody, and would have been lucky to get a second term.

Naw, I haven’t made my mind up yet. But I think that this kills him, whether justified or not. Especially with the J6 indictments yesterday. Trump will use that. The Democrats are trying to goad the Republicans to force the SC to get involved, thereby legitimizing their attempt to pack it or force Conservatives to step down. They are smiling bogus and unconstitutional charges to kill the SC while they can.
