How does Trump vs. DeSantis end?

Original Article

How does Donald Trump vs. Ron DeSantis end? “Not well” is my answer. Such pessimism is based on former President Trump’s recent response when radio host Hugh Hewitt asked him if he would support “whoever” wins the GOP presidential nomination. “It would have to depend on who the nominee was,” Trump replied, prompting Hewitt to change topics. The 45th president’s answer leads one to envision a list of “acceptable” nominees locked in a drawer at Mar-a-Lago. And what if the eventual winner were someone Trump considered disloyal?

Comments:

I hope she’s wrong, but her scenario isn’t entirely out of the question.

Moderates, RINOs, GOPe and anti-Trumpers sure keep pushing this topic. Must be nervous. Most MAGAs I know have a wait and see attitude.

How did Biden vs Hillary vs Bernie end? Funny, media never posited that as a major issue at the time. Biden bailed out early, never bucked the powers. Bernie hung on until the end, no matter all of the power/spying/lying Hillary et al brought to bear to undercut him. Survived to fight Biden to the end 4 years later. Biden had to promise(behind the scenes) to adopt nearly the entire Bernie agenda though to pull it off. Biden isn't doing what he ran on, nor EVER ran on...he is doing what Bernie ran on, and had always run on.

The author worked for W. Bush and McCain's campaigns. She forgets that DeSantis barely won in 2018 and that Trump, a non-politician, won, not the governship, but the Presidency and that his "loss" was at least tainted by private money, ballot harvesting and unprecendented mail-in voting. Does anyone really think DeSantis will have the draw of Trump for independents, blue colllar Democrats and the Republican base? Trump, unlike last time, has more experience. I think/hope DeSantis will sit 2024 out. His time will come, in 2028. If Trump can win again, it creates a potential for 12 years of Republican control of the Presidency.

The Trump haters are a lot like the Rush haters. They always attacked Rush for his plainly spoken loyalty to our Founders and our Founding documents. He was an unabashed, unapologetic American Patriot. IOW, he was a loyal Constitutional Conservative, & he proved it for decades. They hated him for his unparalleled effectiveness & tried, on many occasions, to destroy him. He clearly articulated what his “Dittohead Family” also believed, and made our beliefs & voices heard “across the fruited plain”. At the beginning, we loved Rush for loving our country. He loved us for the same reason. But, it didn’t take long for us to see that he could withstand the vicious, hateful personal attacks against him because of the patriotism he espoused. They lied about & magnified every human flaw & ignored every virtue in him. So, we came very quickly to love him for himself. He loved us for our loyalty & support of him, as well. We became a family. We noted those who were “disloyal” to him by their lack of support at times when they seemed to think supporting him would cause problems for them. The same is happening with Donald Trump. The people who hate him & his MAGA followers think his followers can’t think for themselves & blindly do what he says to do - as indicated in this hit piece of an article. Just as they thought about those who supported Rush. Nothing anyone could say would convince them otherwise, regardless of how inaccurate they might be. DJT has proven his loyalty to his country & gained the trust of his supporters. We have watched them attack & malign him & those he loves - even his young son, while they loudly proclaim children to be “off limits”. They have, likewise, magnified every human flaw & tried to convince the world that he has no redeeming qualities, let alone virtues. That from people who ignore truly awful and evil actions of their own chosen public figures & have turned projection of their flaws and misdeeds onto others into an art form. We have seen what Donald Trump did for this country & for ALL of her people. He proved his genuine love for all of US by the things he did for the country, & the things he (and his family) suffered & endured while doing them. Disloyalty is a hurtful thing. His detractors don’t get a pass in my book. I will never turn against him for the words he may say about anyone in response to what they have not only said, but done against him, either directly or through some other means, when he had only shown kindness & support to them when they needed his loyalty. We remember kindnesses that he has done that go unmentioned. We have seen that negativity can also be implied by how you say or do something, or by how you don’t say or do something. That, imho, equals or surpasses any “rudeness” Trump might come outright & say on the bad behavior scale. I thought some of Trump’s quotes in this article expressed disappointment, but a lack of surprise & somewhat of an acceptance that politics can change people & their loyalties. He isn’t the one who weaponized the government against his political opponents under his leadership.

Trump-Desantis would pose a Constitutional issue as both are Florida residents…and Trump’s not going “back” to New York. The Trumpistas will be sadly disappointed either way. FPDT may win the nomination. The RINOS and many real Republicans will stay home or vote otherwise. That “hell no” works two ways, and DJT can’t win without them in large numbers.

Their is no substitute or surrogate for Trump MAGA or America 1st. Nicky Haley looks absolutely qualified to manage some Brownies. DeSantis is hanging out with his new anti MAGA Swamp friends. Pompeo- Ex CIA seems like a nice guy but I thought that about AG Bill Barr. I'm voting for the One, the Only, America 1st MAGA candidate, Trump. I won't vote for anyone else.

Forget “America First” for a moment. Put MAGA aside. Any effort to restore American greatness without putting the children first will fail. If there was any doubt that kids suffer when their own needs are subjugated to the fears and desires of adults, the Covid experience should have cast it out. For years, children en masse were put on the bottom of the priority list. Children are falling behind in education and key developmental milestones, mood disorders and loneliness are up, and suicide ideation has risen dramatically (including during the Covid era). Families are more broken and dysfunctional than in previous decades, and nearly 400,000 children are in foster care.

Many on Twitter balked at Jean-Pierre's statement. Biden has a long history of being lampooned for his word flubs and sometimes incomprehensible speech at public events.

J.K. Rowling is arguably the most successful author in the history of publishing, with the possible exception of God. And “Harry Potter” was a kind of bible for my generation. Since its publication beginning in the late ’90s, the series has taught tens of millions of children about virtues like loyalty, courage, and love—about the inclusion of outsiders and the celebration of difference. The books illustrated the idea of moral complexity, how a person who may at first appear sinister can turn out to be a hero after all. The author herself became part of the legend, too.

Baerbock called on NATO members Turkey and Hungary to pave the way for the Nordic countries' membership "without delay." Speaking from Helsinki on Monday during a joint press conference with her Finnish counterpart, Baerbock said the accession of Finland and Sweden would strengthen the NATO alliance as a whole. "To make it clear once more, Finland and Sweden fulfill the criteria we have agreed upon together as NATO members in Madrid," Baerbock said,

Kamala Harris is a living embodiment of the Peter Principle, where people keep getting promoted until they reach jobs for which they are clearly unqualified. More and more Americans think that describes our current vice president. Harris is deeply unpopular with independents, who are essential for electoral success (fewer than one in three voters view her favorably), and she is losing popularity among Democratic Party leaders. They see her ineptitude, listen to her word salads, and watch the polls with dismay. The latest evidence of Harris’ fading position is a sharply critical article in the New York Times, of all places, filled with anonymous disapproval from senior Democrats

Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Wang Wenbin spoke to reporters Monday about the multiple aircraft shot down over the U.S. since the destruction of an unmanned Chinese surveillance balloon earlier this month. "We have made it clear time and again that the entry of the Chinese civilian unmanned airship into U.S. airspace was a purely unintended, unexpected and isolated event caused by force majeure," said Wang. However, Wang could not provide any information on whether any of the recently downed aircraft belonged to China

With China’s spy balloon crossing the American heartland unmolested and GOP leaders simultaneously starting probes of his family’s corruption, Joe Biden is entering a new phase of his presidency. The worst case scenario is that all his chickens are coming home to roost. The spy balloon’s appearance and that of two additional objects shot down by the military oddly highlight the importance of the House probes. The possibility that Biden has been compromised by profiting from son Hunter’s lucrative foreign entanglements, especially with China, is drawing extra attention to how the president reacts to the Communist regime’s aggressive surveillance.

Hunter Biden’s legal team has been at the center of news coverage this month after it appeared to confirm the authenticity of his laptop in a letter (only to try to backtrack 24 hours later). It was a curious and gratuitous move for Biden and his counsel Abbe Lowell as they called for criminal investigations into his critics, suggested lawsuits against media, and even argued that the tax-exempt status of some groups be rescinded by the IRS. Now, however, the team is moving in a far more precarious direction. They seem to be adopting the strategy of Steve Bannon that resulted in his conviction for contempt of Congress.

Since President Trump left office, many of the “trustworthy” media outlets have created a talking point that is now held by a minority, yet noticeable number of Conservative Americans. The belief is “DeSantis is Trump, without the baggage.” This group supported President Trump’s policies and felt he did a tremendous job as president, but now feel the baggage that came with Trump would not be present with Ron DeSantis. Many have taken this a step further and believe this baggage would give DeSantis (or others) a better chance of winning in a general election against the Democrat nominee than President Trump.

Barton claims she was fired from All Souls Catholic School in Englewood after the Archdiocese of Denver learned of her same-sex relationship.The Archdiocese said she was fired because she violated her contract, which includes “refraining from taking any public position or conducting himself or herself in a manner that is contrary to the teachings of the Catholic Church.”

U.S. intelligence officials were tracking the spy balloon that was shot down earlier this month since it lifted off from the south coast of China, U.S. officials said Tuesday. According to U.S. officials, after takeoff, the spy balloon drifted east in the direction of Guam and Hawaii and then went north to Alaska and entered U.S. airspace on Jan. 28. Given the path, it's possible that the balloon was blown off course by weather, but U.S. officials said that once it came south over the continental United States, it was being controlled by China. The tracking of the balloon was first reported by The Washington Post. China has insisted

Delivering a Tuesday afternoon keynote address at the National Association of Counties, Biden falsely claimed inflation, including food prices, is coming down. “Today’s report on inflation shows the good is that inflation in America is continuing to come down,” Biden claimed. “Food prices at the grocery store are coming down.” But according to the consumer price index report released Tuesday morning, the price of food at home jumped 0.5 percent compared with December.
