Nah. Desantis is the guy. He's trump, but less baggage and less mean tweets.
Do I care about the mean tweets? No. But the retards and neocons do.
He also strikes at the enemy more effectively and more often. Disney being a big example.
Yep. He's much more capable of using the political power he has instead of pissing it away.
Trump did some good, now we need to find someone to carry it on.
Another point in Desantis' favor. He doesn't seem to have a penchant for hiring people who routinely betray him.
OP literally his trump is his username. All he's doing here is saying "look, Paul Ryan "named DeSantis, Youngkin, and Tim Scott as his three favorites" therefore you oppose those people."
No, I don't think I will. It's retarded to be a reactionary who doesn't think for himself and instead just takes the opposite position of anyone and everyone on a very long list. And let's be honest: a guy named "trump4045" is going to have the same answer to everything: slavish worship and obedience to Trump.
Trump can't win an election. DeSantis will win in a Reagan-like blowout with down-ticket boosts to the Right. Simple as.
This is literal crazy talk. Not even Reagan himself would win in a Reagan-like blowout. Polarization ensures that any election is going to be close.
Do they really, or do they just care about whatever "baggage" the media invents and tells them to care about?
Well, they care about some issues, or are made to.
But I'm also talking about how Trump made retarded picks (like Barr, who defended the Ruby Ridge sniper). In the primary, I'm absolutely going desantis over anyone else. In the general, I'd take trump over any leftist pos (though I repeat myself).
They care that he's a noninterventionist (at least compared to several of his most recent predesesors) and a populist. Just like the left cares that he's effective at opposing them. No one gives a fuck about mean tweets outside some useful idiots that the former 2 groups are playing like a fiddle.
Nonetheless, I see the virtues of DeSantis as well. He has been extraordinarily good at pushing through his agenda, and especially giving Disney a bloody nose is something I loved.
It's okay to be wrong.
Besides, you're not american, so your opinion can be disregarded.
That said, it's still DeSantis. If you've seen any of his speeches, he's more measured, which is what the neocons/squishy fag independents want. Trump has pissed too many people off, and won't get the nomination. He'll also back DeSantis, because he wants to play kingmaker and have influence. Running third party guarantees dems have more power, and he has less (because people will rightfully be pissed at him).
Imagine if Trump could put aside his ego and accept a VP nomination. Can you see this team in the White House?
Trump ought to bow out and stump for DeSantis.
It's only OK to be wrong. People will forgive you for being wrong, but never for being right.
Measured and boring.
Don't pretend that Trump is any sort of rational actor. He's not going to bow out gracefully if he loses.
Wrong, outdated, and bad faith. You have clearly not watched any of his speeches and pressers in the last 2 years.
Polling already shows that support for Trump is declining, and DeSantis is not a generic Republican.
Trump fucked over his base by tanking the Georgia special elections and giving us total Democrat control of government these past 2 years. Trump only cares about Trump, and no one else, including the interests of the "base". Trump went hard on China for a minute when he thought it would get him votes, and then when it wasn't having the effect he hoped for, he backed down bigtime.
This is completely untrue. Alienating the Right wing base like that will guarantee him a jail cell. It will also make him universally reviled and ruin his legacy. Trump has on multiple occasions since 2021 agreed to be a "team player" and try to act as a power broker within the Republican Party instead of trying to go 3rd party.
He has almost all the benefits of Trump, without the massive downsides. If he is the nominee, he will win in a landslide.
I don't, because they are boring. I do watch clips, and I generally love what he has to say - but he remains uncharismatic and boring.
Oh well, if polls say it, it must be true - Trump's performance taught us that.
There is nothing that connects DeSantis to the good old times under Trump. So yeah, generic.
Which is the same as any other politician.
The difference being is that he has burned his bridges and therefore cannot be co-opted. DeSantis may still be.
Trump is not a rational actor, which has been his strength for all these years. But this does guarantee that he will go out of his way to sabotage you if he is humiliated.
So don't. I know you are the king of wishful thinking, but the most disastrous outcome would be a situation like this. Be a good little boy for 4 years, then you can have your DeSantis.
Balderdash. More wishful thinking from you./
