    You need to talk to my ex, do it once and you’ll never do it again. That’s how passionate she is on this subject and she works for democrats.

    I think I've found DeSantis's perfect running mate!

    Georgia GOP Chair Says the Earth Is Flat!

    Kandiss Taylor, a recently elected Republican district chair in Georgia, told the Jesus, Guns and Babies podcast that the Earth is flat!

    https://twitter.com/RightWingWatch/status/1660677910959730688?ref_src=twsrc^tfw|twcamp^tweetembed|twterm^1660677910959730688|twgr^adb0e1d6950b14b47f5642510bcacdd11403c911|twcon^s1_c10&ref_url=https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/kandiss-taylor-globes-anti-flat-earth-brainwashing-1234741082/

    Said Taylor: “All the globes, everywhere. I turn on the TV, there’s globes in the background… Everywhere there’s globes. You see them all the time, it’s constant. My children will be like ‘Mama, globe, globe, globe, globe’ — they’re everywhere.”

    She added: “That’s what they do, to brainwash. For me if it’s not a conspiracy. If it is real, why are you pushing so hard everywhere I go? Every store, you buy a globe, there’s globes everywhere. Every movie, every TV show, news media — why? More and more I’m like, it doesn’t make sense.”

    I mean what could possibly go wrong for the Republican Party? :)

    Is this supposed to be funny, some sort of joke? You do realize that Ron DeSantis graduated from Yale in 2001 with a B.A., magna cum laude. Shortly thereafter, he subsequently attended Harvard Law School, graduating in 2005 with a Juris Doctor, cum laude.

    I'm not saying De Santis will cheat. I'm saying what will you do if Trump accuses De Santis of cheating? Will and should the republicans ignore Trump's accusations?

    if Trump wins the primary, Biden doesn't even have to campaign, as there will be more than enough anti-Trump votes

    Actually its sort of Schrodinger's cat situation i.e. it's both funny and serious at the same time. Funny because well, how can it not be? This is the person presumably sane conservative voters in her electorate put into a position of power. And also not funny for exactly the same reason because it shows just how far the inmates have gotten towards running the asylum that is the conservative politics in some parts of America at the moment.

    Besides which the woman might well be more in touch with the needs and concerns of a the 'common voter' in the US than a Yale and Harvard alumni! :roll: BTW three cheers for the Georgia education system. All those woman's teachers are no doubt face palming themselves right now and wishing they'd gone into some other career. :roflol:

    Trump can snipe at DeSantis and he can take it to a point...... At that point I would bring up the fact Trump appointed General Milley to the Joint Chief of Staff. Isn't Milley the one that stands by "gender confusion " in our United States Military? Isn't Milley the one that told Che if we were to attack China he would give them advance notice? DeSantis in his interview tonight already hinted something would be done about the diversified focus of our military and lacking recruitment into our "woke" system. Without a personal attack, DeSantis can point out that Milley was Trump's man and it has had detrimental effects!

    If Trump does lose to Desantis, will he claim voter fraud? Will he support the GOP nominee?

    Trump will cry fraud and he will never rally to the winner.

    Worse, he will found his party by spitting on the GOP.

    If that happens, he will go down in infamy. This is a good test. True Americans will support whoever wins the GOP primary!

    NO!
    Trump will run 3rd Party...
    However, the question is moot...
    Because (once again):
    DeSantis should wait until 2028.
    He has ZERO Chance at the GOP Nomination in 2024
    DeSantis Would be just Setting Money on Fire if he Announces

    we could have Congress investigate it?

    was Musk trying to help DeSantis or help Trump?

    This dude, Elon the Creator, seems to have gone full far RW after he "conversed" with Putin during his "buyout" of Twitter......he probably raised some foreign dark money guarantees from the Despot and his group. The Saudis also handed over money to him re Twitter.
