Trump vs. DeSantis

[Jolly]

Seriously it's a long time until primary season and an awful lot can happen in the meantime.

But right now, it's Trump's nomination to lose, especially if the legal stuff doesn't stick. He needs to shut up with the whining, dial back on some of the crazy statements and concentrate on what he'll do if reelected.

If I was him, I'd hire Conway to run this campaign. She did a decent job in 2016.

I disagree. Trump has a hundred cracks. It’s just not the time to go after him yet.

CRT in school curriculum flourished in public schools under the Trump/Devos Department of Education. How many kids were encouraged by Trump/Devos School Faculties to transition and keep it secret from parents? The buck stops where?

Poor Lame Donald. Scared to stand up to Tony Fauci. He did some good things and should be recognized for that, but now it’s time for some one with competence to take up the work.

Poor lame Donald can’t beat Slow Joe.

Poor lame Donald.

At this point in the 2016 race, Jeb Bush! was leading the pack. As I said, it's very early.

But if nothing changes, the Teflon Don is going to win most, if not all, of the GOP primaries.

And then be slayed a second and final time by killer Joe.

Joe cannot stay in the basement this time. That won't ever work again.

Secondly, it's the economy, stupid. If we're doing as badly as I think we will, the Dems would have trouble getting Jesus Christ elected

[LuFins Dad]

Biden didn’t beat Trump. It was +50% of the electorate voting “not Trump”.

I see no reason to think that will be different in 2024.

Why do you seem to want Trump, @Jolly

Is it his electability or governing chops?

Pendulums are a thing. I don’t think we’ll get moderate on the other side of that one.

There is no option.

I don't think he can win an election with his oratory.

But he can lose it.

Opening his mouth or letting us see more of his feeble walk won't help at all.

[xenon]

A Republican centrist would be an absolute layup in the general - and would probably pull in a bunch of Republican legislators.

Can’t have that now, can we. Must be the savior.

Doesn’t matter. Not Trump.

DeSantis is running. Make no mistake.

Kelly Conway said the other day, that the media frenzy over Trump gave him $3B worth of advertising in 2016. Wonder what all this current infatuation is worth?

Seriously? Ignore the polls for now. Nobody has attacked Trump yet, and he is vulnerable to lose some of his base once it starts getting hammered home that Trump allowed Fauci to dictate the general response over the first few months. Start running the video of Trump recommending using scarves if you have no masks…Run the video of him promoting and lauding the vaccines and the shutdowns. Remember the news conference when he stated that no Governor can open up their state without his authority? They can have a field day with that.

Commercials showing the incomplete wall and the showing that Mexico did not in fact pay for it. How did that swamp draining go? Insert picture of Hunter and the Big Guy on Air Force One.

Hey, notice all the problems with the FBI over the last few years? False Flags, planted FBI informants stoking trouble at the January 6th protests, and don’t forget who was investigating parents at school board meetings? Who appointed the FBI Director, again? Oh, that’s right, Lame Donald. So sad.

You thought draining the swamp was going to be easy?

@Jolly said in Trump vs. DeSantis:

Just looked at some GOP numbers from Kentucky that showed the indictment by Bragg made Republican voters 40% more likely to vote for him.

Get ready...

Not only lame but tacky. Ridiculously so.

You expected otherwise?

@George-K

Unfortunately, no, I didn’t.

Edit: Nor should I have expected otherwise.

Agreed. But Biden will still be “not Trump” in 2024.

It always surprises me quite how many Lord Farquaad references there are to be made about the guy. If they'd made Shrek after Trump became President, there'd have been an outcry about the pernicious politicization of children's movies.

Oh, I agree. That was the second part of my statement. But I do believe Lame Donald (so sad) is vulnerable to having a significant enough part of his base turned. They are still seething over policies that he at least stood aside for if not actually promoted…

[Mik]

It will be interesting to see how he handles the vaccine deniers.

[Copper]

Mr. Trump did not make this photoshop.

Mr. Biden commissioned it for the Oval Office.
