Ron DeSantis actually focusing on one of the biggest threats to civilization: ESG. I pray everyday that the Republican voter base realizes we can nominate this guy and win big instead of nominating a 78 year old man vehemently hated by half the country for the third time! (mobile.twitter.com)

I voted for Trump twice and would vote for him again if he was the option but I fear he would spend a lot of time re hashing 2020 election. Also a host on a local conservative talk show said Trump is so hated that the left will crawl naked over broken glass to vote against him. Which is very true

When are you going to learn it doesn’t matter who runs? Trump is the most recent ultimate evil… you think DeSantis won’t be even worse with fake rape claims etc? They’ve always accelerated, thinking you can appease them is insane.

We shouldn't pretend that they won't make "half the country" hate whoever, even one of their own like Romney, but Trump is a uniquely hateable figure. Or maybe an acquired taste.

Somebody would have to be unbelievably charismatic and quick-witted to make it through the media onslaught unscathed. They obliterated Ron Paul. Trump is good at quips and soundbites but he's also an old man who phrases things poorly sometimes, which made it easier for them to attack him with out of context quotes. I haven't seen enough of DeSantis to know how he would hold up.

DeSantis is unfortunately pretty boring.

No one is trying to appease them.

Running Trump 2024 is asking for the left to supercharge their turnout while DeSantis 2024 gives us a much better shot of winning.

It is impossible to make DeSantis more hated than Trump because he doesn't fall for the media traps and his personal life is not fucked up like Trump's.

I've seen many election cycles at this point in my life and it is true that the Dems and the media will character assassinate any GOP candidate. However, Trump is different and the hysteria surrounding him surpasses the baseline level of hate that every Republican receives. I think that it's due to his polarizing personality and the way he speaks. It goes beyond the banal political rhetoric like X Republican is racist for supporting voter ID and securing the border. People love and loathe Trump for the stuff that he says and the way that he says it. It doesn't help Trump that he's a soundbite factory for the media. That's why stuff like the infamous "very fine people" comment lingers years after he says it.

I get what you are saying because despite how Bush, Romney, and McCain are media darlings now they were once evil racists according to MSM. Trump does provoke a white hot rage in leftists that I didn’t even see with Bush

Trump was the first republican candidate after the woke shift and the first outsider in general. Democrats were riding high on smug and their world collapsed when he was elected. I don’t seem them de-escalating if Trump doesn’t win the primary.

So, instead of 2,000 Mules they would use 4,000?

That local conservative talk host is actually aware of the real world unlike some voters in our base just unable to move on from Trump.

I praise Trump for the good economy and no war during 2017-2019 but his performance handling covid and preventing a stolen election in 2020 onwards has disqualified him from running again for the third time.

I hope people like that local talk host can help change hearts and minds of our voter base.

preventing a stolen election in 2020 Tell me, how does a president prevent state fraud like what happened in Pennsylvania where they broke their own state constitution without consequences?

Trump was getting pretty damn sloppy at the end, which he really couldn't afford by then, given how thoroughly controlled the narrative had become. He needed to be clever, not dramatic. With how hard Dems were turning the accusation of election fraud into a scarlet letter, it had to be made into something you could get away with saying in public, and he was the only one who could do that. He needed to poke fun at shit like water pipes bursting and washing away observers, or how ballots aren't fake if they're in a suitcase rather than a briefcase, or counters slipping love notes to each other. Make their blatant cheating into something funny, pathetic, and plainly visible.
