Trump vs. DeSantis

@jon-nyc said in Trump vs. DeSantis:

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.

@Jolly said in Trump vs. DeSantis:

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.

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.

[taiwan_girl]

I agree with @LuFins-Dad and @jon-nyc .

The best candidate the Democrat could have in 2024 election is President Trump.

[Jolly]

@xenon

I could be persuaded to support DeSantis, but if Trump can navigate the legal rapids, I don't see DeSantis making a run at him...Unless Trump does something really stupid.

A moderate Republican? A RINO? Won't make it through the primaries, especially in the South.

[Jolly]

@jon-nyc I watched Biden on the news today. The man can barely walk. By 2024, he may not be able to. The American public has elected a guy in a wheelchair before, but not a senile guy in a wheelchair...

If he unzipped and helicoptered that would somehow be rationalized as draining the swamp.

Politics is now literally reality TV, and he’s the funnest character. Adults should not want him.
