A couple of posts above, I reported hearing a couple of weeks ago that Trump secured endorsements from four of the 20 Republicans in the Florida congressional delegation, but the number has since changed; Trump received endorsements from the majority of the Reps, 11 of them, one of them Mike Waltz who took over DeSantis former district. https://www.breitbart.com/poli...esantis-s-viability/ TX Rep Lance Gooden met with DeSantis and felt he was a nice guy, but also felt DeSantis is not ready for prime time, basing part of his decision on speaking with his fellow Reps from Florida.

I suppose the "exploratory committee" will cover this in their report to the governor. It's shaping up to be Trump versus Biden, or, more specifically, Trump versus Biden and the absolute nightmare of Harris waiting on deck, and everybody can see- whether or not they wish to admit it- that Biden gives every indication that he will not be able to complete a potential second term, with all that this implies. If Donald Trump chooses his running mate wisely (and I have no doubt that he will do so) then, the drooling asshole and the incompetent cackler are fucked. | |||

Please, no more Veeps from Indiana. Weez had enough with Quayle and Pence. I thought Kash Patel as he has worked for and strongly backs President Trump. He has a awsome resume. | |||

It’s not going to happen, and I don’t know how helpful it would be anyway, but I’d love to see Vivek Ramaswamy on the ticket with Trump. “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” | |||

I hope they do. An honest assessment is what he needs to hear rather than butt-kissers. DeSantis has also lost the backing of several substantial donors. I hope he decides to remain in Florida as Gov. and sits this one out. It would probably be best for him, and for the party, not to have an ugly primary. A united party would be our best shot. Either way, we should know by mid-May, which is only two weeks away, what DeSantis has decided to do.This message has been edited. Last edited by: chellim1, "Some things are apparent.

Donald Trump learned a lot in his four years as POTUS, but I think he learned MORE in the last 2 1/2 years. I would think these short years were perhaps the worst in his life, and he is still strong, not wavering, perhaps stronger than before. He knows the aftermath of the corruption of the 2020 election, the pitfalls. But he has also learned who's loyal and who's not. To his defense, it was extremely hard at his entry in politics to figure out loyalty. I'm confident he has learned from the ones who stabbed him in the back.

To the extent the Republican primary is a contest at all right now, it looks like it's one between Donald Trump and a sentiment one might call "Trump fatigue." And Trump is winning that matchup easily. Here's why: MAGA-sounding ideas are widely held in the Republican electorate, an environment that plays heavily to Trump's advantage. There's big demand for a candidate who says Trump won in 2020, who challenges woke ideas, who doesn't criticize Trump and, for good measure, makes liberals angry. Trump leads in all of these areas. Meanwhile there are some GOPers who say they're "exhausted" by Trump, and that he's too controversial, but they are greatly outnumbered today.  Then, we asked them to pick one candidate they would vote for today. (As with many decisions people make, early in the process, they'll narrow their options before settling on one.) Trump leads on both measures. He not only has majority vote support right now, but a massive amount of consideration on top of that, extending beyond his current voters to those who say they might still back him. Trump also wins the votes of a higher percentage of those considering him than anyone else. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/2...b7e&linkId=212410421 "Some things are apparent.

Video at link https://ewerickson.substack.co...tm_medium=email#play Clown Princes of Crap ERICK-WOODS ERICKSON MAY 10, 2023 How is the Jean Carroll lawsuit, funded by Democrats, supposed to hurt Donald Trump? I mean, really. The man was caught on video talking about how women would let him grab them by their…you know… and he still won a presidential election. A lawsuit funded by Democrats in New York City about events that happened decades ago and rejected the central accusation of rape will not be what does in Donald Trump. But don’t tell the Democrats. They believe, epistemically, that this is the beginning of the end of Donald Trump. See the video above. We’ve been promised the beginning of the end since he got elected when they said there was no way he could be elected. Grabbing women didn’t stop his election. Adultery did not stop him. Porn stars did not stop him. This will not stop Donald Trump. Neither will Alvin Bragg’s silly prosecution that even Democrats roll their eyes at. If anything, this helps him advance in the GOP. A party with a persecution complex will stand behind the persecuted-in-chief. Liz Cheney running ads in New Hampshire might as well be an in-kind contribution to Trump to secure the Republican nomination. And, Democrats, before you all reassure yourselves that Biden can beat him, are you sure? Don’t look now, but the Washington Post/ABC News poll shows more Americans think Trump is the one more mentally fit for office. Trump beats Biden among all Americans. You can say this is a one-off poll, a bad poll, a skewed poll, etc., but it is the Washington Post-ABC News poll by a respected pollster, and Democrats cited the same polling in 2022 as proof they were on the rebound. And they were. We are headed into tough economic times and a recession. Biden is screwing up the border like he screwed up Afghanistan. He’s heading us off a fiscal cliff, refusing to negotiate on the debt ceiling after the GOP already voted to raise it. Jean Carroll’s lawsuit is not going to stop Trump and just might help him get the nomination. And the economy could put him over the line in the general. We’ve got a bunch of clown princes of crap clowning up the political space letting their personal vanities, vendettas, and egos get in the way of an effective strategy. All of them seem intent on throwing everything against the wall to see what sticks. They want the attention of the pundits, not the public. There is a way to take out Trump. But it has to come from the right. I’m not sure anyone is up for it. But there is a guy in Florida who can legitimately say Donald Trump failed to build a wall in four years, but he built a bridge in a day. There are governors who stood up to Dr. Fauci as Donald Trump platformed Fauci. There are those who refused long shutdowns when Trump demanded them. There are those who fought against the mandates for a vaccine Trump funded. There are those who successfully fought back against the DEI nonsense that the Trump Administration let fester in Washington. Or consider the fishermen in New England headed to the Supreme Court. The Commerce Department is making these fishermen pay $700.00 a day for monitors on their boats who will spy on and report on the fishermen. These federal monitors are making more per day than the fishermen. The Trump Administration approved the rule that financially breaks these working-class fishermen — a rule Obama started, Trump finished and Biden is now defending. There are plenty of ways to attack Trump, but the clown princes of crap don’t seem to know or care how to engage. They’re suing him in dumb cases. They’re attacking him in ways that help him. And they’re performatively humping his leg and genuflecting in his direction even as they claim they want to beat him. Donald Trump could very well beat Joe Biden in a rematch. The economy performed better under Trump. Biden went too woke and is even older and bumbling. The insanity of Trump is already factored into people’s minds. You pour into people’s minds a broken economy they did not have under Trump, and he has a path to victory. This is from the New York Times: “Joe Biden is asking the country to elect a candidate who will be 82 years old, who has clearly lost a step, running with a vice president whom almost no one in either party thinks is ready for prime time.” If you want to stop him, it must be from the right in a Republican primary to ensure he is stopped. There is a way, but the attacks must be on the substance of his record in Washington, not the character we already know he lacks. The only way the lawsuits hurt is a steady drip, drip, drip that distracts him, consumes him, and costs him so much money that he cannot effectively compete. Even then, just consider from the ABC polling that 18% of people who want Trump in jail also prefer him to Biden for President. | |||

A felony conviction would make Trump ineligible. I think that is the only way the Left can stop him. flashguy Texan by choice, not accident of birth | |||

That's not correct. Constitution of the United States, Fourteenth Amendment, Section 3 No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability. | |||

From what I remember, Lyndon LaRouche ran against Bill Clinton while sitting in a prison cell. "I’m not going to read Time Magazine, I’m not going to read Newsweek, I’m not going to read any of these magazines; I mean, because they have too much to lose by printing the truth"- Bob Dylan, 1965 | |||

| His diet consists of black coffee, and sarcasm.  |
In addition to not being in the Constitution, he hasn't been convicted of a felony. The matter he is embroiled in is a civil suit. | |||

^^ Bragg is doing his best in New York, and some idiot in North Carolina is apparently mulling over ginning up some BS charge just to see if it sticks. The idea isn't to disqualify Trump legally, it's to tar him with as many lies, burn as much of his time, and make him spend as much money as possible. The funny thing, from my perspective, is that they seem to be burning down their own credibility a lot more than they're hampering Trump's re-election bid. If this keeps up, all the accusations will form into some deep, confusing and vapid cloud of nonsense - at which point most voters will, I believe, simply tune out and ignore it. | |||

People from all over the country, and people in Florida, want to shit on DeSantis. But where are those people moving to and why aren't the people in Florida leaving for NY, NJ, IL and CA? If we get 4 years of Trump and then 8 years of DeSantis, it would go a very long way in repairing the damage done to our country. _____________ | |||
