DeSantis, Haley and Ramaswamy get personal and emotional during ‘family discussion’ in Iowa
Apnews ^ | Nov 17, 2023 | Hannah Fingerhut

Three candidates — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy — sat down for a roundtable “family discussion” in Des Moines Friday. Trump did not attend, though he was invited.

The candidates shared their personal stories in an unusual forum, as they have rarely appeared side-by-side in such a collegial setting on the campaign trail.

The Family Leader reiterated that the event was not a debate after the Republican National Committee’s counsel’s office circulated a letter to campaigns dated Oct. 28 reminding candidates of their pledge not to participate in non-sanctioned debates and warning that attending the Family Leader’s forum would disqualify them from future RNC debates.

What happens when an evangelical group has a candidate's forum that may determine who they endorse or support...

and no vocal rabid desantis supporter makes note of it's occurance here?

It just adds more confirmation that the desantis supporters are actually nevertrumpers, and latched on to desantis as someone through which they could use to attack Trump, much like many of them did with cruz.

BTW... family leader is the evangelical organization that the desantis campaign appears to have made payments to, to seek their support.

This was a direct order from Ronna McDaniel. Designed to keep the also rans in line. Designed to keep Donald Trump 30-40 points ahead.

And why would she do this? Because she is Trump's pet. He likes her and she is doing all she can - and all the RNC can - to get Trump reelected.

This being true, I can't see why AT's are so hateful to her. I guess they listen to CNN too much.

You haven't been paying attention. This event has been discussed here often. As well as Ronna's warning not to attend. See my post 2 as to why Trump/McDaniel wanted to keep this discussion from happening.

You're an Angry Trumper. Can you please explain why you hate Ronna when in fact she is all in for Trump?

Did the sponsors make them sit? Roll over? Lay down? Bark on command?

LOL...

That’s a lot of mis-direction you’re trying to gaslight FR with...

When the rabid desantis supporters, don’t even bother to remember about or promote supposedly high value events desantis is going to be in...

They don’t really care about desantis....

They care about attacking Trump and keeping him from being re-elected....

Like I said.... they’re really nevertrumpers....

BS- Every single DeSantis supporter, myself included voted for Trump. Trump sealed his own fate when he blubbered out “DeSanctamonious”..Dumbest move in the history of dumb moves. Zero discipline, zero respect, and zero accountability. Also, a guy who cheats on all three wives deserves zero loyalty from any person, place, or thing.

You’re kidding, right?

I guess you didn’t know that. Trump has always supported McDaniel. He endorsed her in 2016 and he congratulated her this year after winning the RNC chair again.

I know he did. I just don’t think she really supports him.

I’m not surprised that as a Trump worshipper, that you would call me a 4th grader playground name like “fag”. I’m also not surprised at the amount of syllables it took you to come up with.

I am grateful that Trump is too much of a coward to debate, because if he did, he would turn the debates into yet another embarrassingly ugly circus with nasty name calling & zero substance.

******************

You anti Trump partisans have had three debates.

Three debates without Trump, three debates with zero ‘substance.’

“Congratulations.”

I am , was , maybe , supporter of Desantis , he is starting to aggravate me in terms of always being scripted, always with no emotion, unlike Haley who can talk to me with emotion

Desantis is loosing me for Haley.

He is almost like a robot

I like Haley now. We still have 2 months to go but if desantis thinks the current path is winnable then he is dead wrong. He needs to change his approach, I don’t think he is capable

Haley will win

I’m not a “never Trumper”. I am an “over Trumper” and there are millions like me.

“Loosing?” This shows me that you were never a “maybe” DeSantis supporter. It’s spelled “losing”, as in: “Elementary school teachers are fighting a losing battle against little children who refuse to learn how to spell”.
