https://news.sky.com/story/donald-t...ght-wing-media-turns-to-ron-desantis-12743985 Donald Trump may soon be yesterday's news as America's right-wing media turns to Ron DeSantis Even Fox News is no longer a safe bastion of Trumpism, as comment and opinion becomes openly critical following an underwhelming midterms performance for the Republican Party. For America's right, the future may now lie with Ron DeSantis. "Trumpty Dumpty" - probably as much a political epitaph as a headline. When the New York Post put that on their front page, it wasn't just selling papers, it was crafting the end of a career.........
I've assumed for a while that South Dakota governor Kristi Noem will be making a presidential run. She got a lot of notoriety after insisting on not closing down anything for COVID, and I know a lot of conservatives love her. I guess she's already said that she won't run against Trump, but if he reads the tea leaves and chooses not to run, I expect her to be one of the main GOP candidates. I also think Brian Kemp fancies himself a viable candidate. Should speculation on and analysis of potential GOP candidates perhaps be its own thread?
I wish I was as optimistic as you are ... the rank and file Republicans want him gone but he still has that cult of personality thing and a lot of voters will ride with him to the bitter end, why I have no idea. Personally I think Trump running is the best thing for the Democrats, he's going to split up the GOP and a lot of people in the middle like myself will refuse to vote for him.
Donald Trump Says He 'Sent in the FBI' To Stop Ron DeSantis Losing Election Donald Trump has claimed that he stopped Ron DeSantis from losing his 2018 gubernatorial election by sending in federal agents to prevent the race being rigged by voter fraud. https://www.newsweek.com/trump-desantis-statement-fbi-2018-florida-election-stolen-1758853
Seems that he's claiming that he sent the FBI in to prevent election fraud, not to engage in it. I mean, I don't believe him--I think he's grasping at straws to make DeSantis look bad--but it doesn't look like he's admitting malfeasance.
Yes, that's what he's claiming - but if he actually did send in the feds, it would be for the purposes of malfeasance, because that's who he is. So if it isn't completely made up, he's pointing investigators to where to look for his crimes. barfo
"DeSantis abandoned his job as Florida governor to travel all over country to campaign for Laxalt (NV), Mastriano (PA), Zeldin (NY) and Michels (WI). All four lost"
