DeSantis: Trump Used Ramaswamy And Then Threw Him Under The Bus "The Minute He Wasn't Useful"
Real Clear Politics ^ | January 15, 2024 | Tim Hains

"I noticed that he threw -- um -- Vivek under the bus. I've seen a candidate run for an office and basically campaign for another candidate in the same race before, but that's what's happened. And the minute he wasn't useful they dropped the hammer on him. That's just the way they are.

We're going to go forward as a party. We can go forward in a way that's focused on peoples' issues and a great agenda for America, or we can go forward with Trump, which will be focused, the 2024 election, on legal issues, criminal trials, convictions, on all these things with January 6. That gives the Democrats a huge advantage going forward. And I don't think we want to do that, why would we give them any advantage?"

You’re projecting Trump’s attitude onto DeSantis. DeSantis is for America. He’s the one candidate in this race who isn’t in it for himself.

He’s not a journalist; he’s an agitator who was intending to disrupt.

Desperate? Like accusing your opponent of stealing it before any votes have been cast?

Saying DeSantis is a globalist is a complete and desperate falsehood.

Please back up any of these claims. We’ve heard them for 4-8 years. Where’s your evidence?

Trump attacked him and praised Crist. Right before the election.

Opus?

Never mind DeSantis being incoherent here.

“Have I mentioned lately how much I admire the governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis? Details coming up, but he has launched “an ambitious crackdown on Big Tech.” Somebody with the guts to do it. He’s somebody also not closing down his state because of the COVID virus. Now, Ron DeSantis. This guy has got what we call an iron-enforced spine, the governor of Florida. “In a 45-minute speech, the governor [of Florida, Ron DeSantis] identified Big Tech companies as the leading threat to American democracy and freedom of expression today, and pledged that Florida Republicans would take action.” — Rush Limbaugh

DeSantis is the most anti-Deep State candidate in the race. He has a successful record of fighting the Deep State and winning.

“[DeSantis] accused the tech giants of ‘clear viewpoint discrimination,’ highlighting the censorship of Donald Trump and the removal of Parler from the internet and Apple and Google-controlled app stores. ‘The core issue here is this: Are consumers going to have the choice to consume the information they choose, or are oligarchs in Silicon Valley going to make those choices for us?

“‘No group of people should exercise such power, especially not tech billionaires in Northern California,’” and, man, oh, man is that right. Tell me: Where else do you hear anybody speaking out like this — in government? Yeah, you have some op-ed writers, some other people speaking out on this, but this? You don’t hear elected officials so much. Some members of Congress do.” — Ruch Limbaugh

How is he “not even doing the job in Florida”? He’s been there for the people of the state, doing what is needed when he’s needed. DeSantis is capable of running for office and doing his job at the same time.

Looking forward to pinging you later tonight with the results.
I Rembrandt you were a Big Lying Ted supporter in 2015.

As recently as today, Trump claimed he won Iowa in 2016.

Cruz won Iowa in 2016. Not Trump. Then Trump claimed Cruz stole it. (How would you do that?) Then he claimed Biden stole the 2020 elections. Now he’s claiming DeSantis is stealing Iowa.

There’s a pattern here.

You need to read your post 75 again.

And isn't bribing people for votes illegal?

I don’t understand the whole concept of the post.
Vivek is challenging Trump for the nomination, they are essentially enemies.

Why would anyone say that Trump threw him under the bus?
Entering today Trump had 48% of the Iowa vote, Vivek had 9%. Having already attacked DeSantis and Haley (and shaven off as many percentage points from them), the logical thing to do is to attack Vivek to try to get at least two percent to reach and exceed 50 % of the vote.

Why in the world would Trump not attack a fellow challenger? Doesn’t make sense.

Trump didn’t use Vivek, Vivek is a fraud, and has been since day one... Vivek was always out for Vivek... like all con men.

Honestly, I am glad to see Trump finally distanced himself from this fraud. Last thing anyone should be doing is letting this chump anywhere near them.
