Trump vs. DeSantis

[LuFins Dad]

If I was DeSantis’ campaign adviser, I would focus my campaign on the following points:

1. 14 Days to Flatten the Curve, brought to you by the Trump Administration.

2. Trumpflation… How many billions did Lame Donald just give away? ARP was just the icing on the cake baked by the Twitter in Chief.

3. CRT and Gender Idealogy flourished in schools and curriculum under Trump’s Department of Education…

Contrast that with DeSantis’ record on these issues…

By the way, Trump enters the office as a Lame Duck…

The real link between Trump and inflation is when his hand-picked Fed chief quadrupled the number of dollars in circulation over a couple of months. Not sure that will resonate with the average primary voter.

I would also try to secure some political alliances with some figures that carry some weight in the modern conservative movement but have still tried to keep Trump at arms length. Youngkin, Kemp, etc…

Meh, there were a LOT of Trump supporters that were lifting their eyebrows and getting a little angry about the Trump giveaways…

[jon-nyc]

You’re right, tying it to spending is more politically salient. The base has largely forgotten who Milton Friedman was.

[LuFins Dad]

I would also focus on the fact that Lame Donald couldn’t beat Slow Joe… There may or may not have been shenanigans, but really, it never even should have been close enough for shenanigans…

[LuFins Dad]

I would also try to get Elon on board.

Back to the OP, I’m not sure “DeSanctimonious” has the staying power or the bite of, say, “little Marco” or “low energy” Jeb.

Sounds like he already is. He tweeted some months ago the the gop needs to move beyond trump.

Jon, how do you suppose a Hillary Clinton administration would have differed in this regard? Would you have expected different monetary decisions?

@Horace You’ve asked this before and the answer remains no.

And he was and is right. The whole party - nation, really- needs to.

Just verifying that the “real connection” between Trump and inflation you claim, is political messaging nonsense, to be stacked with the rest. But thank you for your transparency.

Would be very nice for everybody but those who take Trump seriously. As a political tool and as a lesser of evils, he got out of hand.

And a second term would be worse.

I saw that last night.

"DeSanctimonious."

So what did DeSantis say or do to piss him off? Refuse to kiss his fat ass?

[Mik]

Kill your competition young. The Democrats have been trying to kill DeSantis for quite a while, unsuccessfully. I think Trump will reveal his true nature if he tries and lose support.

[Renauda]

@Mik

I get it that the Democrats want to discredit DeSantis. In fact it’s a given they would.

Doesn’t explain Trump’s attack. Neither have even announced their candidacy. Seems unwarranted at this stage - unless Trump knows that if DeSantis seeks the nomination he will probably carry the conservative vote in the GOP and defeat Trump. In fact, Trump might not even make it past the primaries to the Convention.

Would be interesting to watch if that were to happen. A Trump tantrum accusing DeSantis of stealing the vote.

[Mik]

The GOP has been, in my estimation, making a huge mistake by focusing the man rather than the popular policies.
