Now before people latch on and say "you have TDS, you're just a leftist/RINO supporter" let me preface this, I do think he should run and win being president, but the way he is doing it is wrong.
I think he should run as an independent
The people vote for HIM, not the Republican party, if he came out in the speech saying in his own way "I cannot trust or respect the leadership of the Republican party especially when they denied funds to many in the midterms, so I am running independently until that trust can be earned". This would do a lot:
-
Deny funding from the MAGA supporters to the Republicans, they'll still have their interest groups but now can't mix the money with grandma's donation.
-
Bring more focus on the leaders like mitch because they've now been openly challenged
-
Kill any hope for a Republican nominee, anyone trying to run between Biden and Trump would be committing political suicide so those suspicions of Desantis, this will be the ultimate test if he can see the trap. And since he's independent, they cannot screw him in the nomination process.
Just my thoughts, still concerned that Trump doesn't have the best advisors still and not making moves like this .
lol running as an independent would only split the vote like Ross Perot and hand the Democrats an easy win. It's the Democrat wet dream that Trump is stupid and self-destructive enough to alienate the Right so the Left can stay in power.
people in this sub claim to be Right wing yet they advocate for a strategy that would result in a permanent left wing majority and full left wing control of government. nobody like that is entitled to call themselves right wing. go join the left and tell them to do stupid shit that ruins their side.
You claim to be "Right wing" and yet you're happy with corrupt, useless, globalist back-stabbers running the GOP.
And BTW, how are you feeling about all that foreign aid to Ukraine that appears to have been laundered to FTX and then funneled into Democrat campaigns, eh? Y'know, just like everybody with half a brain would have predicted? How does that sit with a "true Right winger" like yourself?
I've never heard this claim before, and if it were true, I think I would have. Got any proof or sources?
People can have a different view from you without being whatever. If it were up to you, everyone would be copying Cocaine Mitch's talking points.
That said, I also disagree with him, I just don't think he's a shill.
If you are objectively trying to help the Democrats (the Left) win, you can't really claim to be loyal to the Right.
Hell, I think the 12 republicans who just voted for gay marriage in the senate are traitors to the Right, too. I just looked for a thread about it in this sub and no one cares I guess.
I never claimed to be right-wing, I'm a pragmatic realist.
Here's how I see it going towards and to 2024 under the current strategy:
They'll be a changing around of 'leaders' in the Republican party but they'll basically be younger versions of the same RINOS, Trump will campaign showing he has grass root support but all the time the Republican leadership, Democrats, establishment and Media all work to undermine him.
While this is happening, no effort will be made to ensure mail in voting is either gotten rid of or ensure the same kind if rules that Florida has will be put into effect.
I doubt Desantis or any real competition will be there in the nomination phase, Trump will get screwed once again at election, Democrats will win and a lot of MAGA voters will be blackpilled.
What a lot of people don't get is that when Trump got in he did it because he was essentially outside the rules so wasn't constrained by them, since then they've changed the process to apply to him, the same strategy won't work as it did in 2016. There is little of a 'right' in the Republican party, most of them wear it as a skinsuit so better to deny them that title, make it so they are basically Democrat light and not waste time being a hamster in their wheel.
