Latest Poll.....

Thank you so much, I was trying to find exactly that.

That’s an excellent article.

I listed to it, and I don’t agree with Styx that DeSantis’ delay in saying anything was a grave error. I think he would be criticized either way. If he said nothing right away, he’s getting criticized. If jumped in the fray immediately, he could be seen as an opportunist. 

“Protecting your citizen” is a canard. This is an out-of-state grand jury and DA trying to make a NY misdemeanor into a federal felony of a former president with a Secret Service detail. DeSantis has no jurisdiction. None.

Can’t a state protect someone from extradition?

For 45 years I’ve had to vote for candidates that I didn’t want, but who became my nominee. I don’t think MAGA supporters are stupid, and won’t be stupid when it comes to the general election and sit on their hands. Though there are a few here that I wonder about.

I’m still trying to figure out the point of your last paragraph, which you keep bringing up when I bring up my support of DeSantis. I’m not ignorant of the problems, but what point are you trying to make?  That we shouldn’t even fight since it’s in the cards that we lose?  That’s not in my DNA. I’ll fight until my last breath, because doing anything less means surrender. Is that what you’re advocating - we should act like the French?

Not to speak for what Luci means but maybe he means we need massive attacks from the Republican Party on voter fraud and I don’t see it happening.

Most of MAGA will vote for DeSantis in the general but it needs to be enough numbers to overwhelm the cheating, and that’s a bar so high I don’t know if we can reach it.  It needs to be all of MAGA plus most independents plus continued defection from blacks and Hispanics, and make no mistake, it was Trump that brought them over, not GOP.  Although DeSantis in FL did bring FL Hispanics.  That’s not necessarily going to translate nationwide.

I completely agree with Styx on DeSantis here.  He nails what has been bothering me in the back of my mind about DeSantis but couldn’t articulate.  While I thought DeSantis’s reaction to the NY witch hunt against Trump was “okay”, it was not satisfying.

DeSantis missed an opportunity to subjugate Trump and seal his position as a younger, stronger, more dominant male. (I’ll let Styx explain how.) Instead it came off as grudging support but including a little moral self righteous dig.  This actually kept him on Trump’s level or below. 

With the mess this country is in, I want the strongest Alpha on our side. Between the two of them right now, it’s still Trump.  That could change in 18 months, and eventually will change as Trump ages, but DeSantis has yet to prove himself.

What makes you say that?  I see a potential second term consisting of personal retribution, not governance.

But this is academic. No one here has made a good case as to how he will attract the middle in order to win a general election, which is a requirement to becoming president.

That’s one reason I like DeSantis over Trump. The second is I could get 8 years out of DeSantis. That matters greatly, given our ages.

He wanted a second term and being literally cheated out of it is the source of all his current rage.  If he gets his second term, I have no reason to think he won’t continue the same country building good policies he did the first time. No reason he can’t do that and get personal retribution; the two aren’t mutually exclusive.

“They’re Republicans, they don’t like to be told what to do. We need to break that.”

What an arrogant piece of shit.

Without the FBI saying something really late, he would have. His cumulative margin of victory in the bubble states was amazingly low, something 50,000 votes.

And 100% he was going to beat the brainless robot who had like 10 people at his rallies, right.

I’m sure he actually did a lot better in those states but there was already cheating back then. They just hadn’t upped their game enough like they did in 2020.  But even if he didn’t and the margin was that narrow, he was an unknown and a “joke”, it’s amazing he did as well as he did.  I myself doubted him and did not vote for him in the primary but of course I would have voted for an inert rock before Hillary.

We're all so proud of the monetary support Trump has been providing for the J6 Defendants rotting in jail n D.C. because they were trying to support their CIC.

Do we know that he hasn’t?

Have you known him to do anything without publicly taking credit for it?  This is not a slam on him, just the reality of how he operates.

Logical fallacy.  If he did something and didn’t publicly take credit for it, we wouldn’t know about it, would we?

Ah ha!  Apparently he has (paid for their defense and taken credit for it), as told on Truth Social.  Because there is a media blackout on Trump, we really have no idea what he's actually thinking and doing without going into his own platform.

We will never know

Probably not.  The Democrats have permanently taken over and they will get us into a nuclear exchange with Russia within the next few years, and we’re all fucked.

I have said many times that I don't personally like DT.  He is a self centered, narcissist jerk.  But back when he was President I liked almost all of the things he did.  But after losing the election he went off the rails.  Worse than even Hillary did.  I think he snapped and I don't want a President that has snapped.

If he gets in office again he’ll unsnap.

Good LORD!

I’d like to see their denunciations when rhetoric was used against Trump was the type they complain about that he uses.

Grammar!  Punctuation!  Proofread and edit!  Here, I have to do it:

I’d like to see their denunciations,(comma!) when rhetoric that was used against Trump was the type they complain about, (comma!)that he uses.

Or better:  I’d like to see their denunciations when rhetoric was used against Trump of the type they complain about when he uses it.

No comma necessary because it flows clearly.

That being said, it’s a great article and spot on. Obviously a thoughtful journalist; why the hell can’t he write?

I’m going back to sleep and dream people can speak and write good English anymore.
