2024 GOP Presidential Race (formerly Can DeSantis overcome Trump?) (1 Viewer)

[SteveSBrickNJ]

Many of Trump's endorsed candidates did not do well on Nov. 8th.
*
Gov. Ron DeSantis DID do well.
He won convincingly.
Yet in this OP's opinion, Donald Trump is an egomaniac who is seemingly incapable of putting "Party over Self"
Trump has ZERO chance of being elected our next president.
In my opinion, if Trump would just shut up and go away (fat chance of that)...but "if" Trump did that, Gov. Ron DeSantis would have a CHANCE to be a formidable candidate for President in 2024.
Here is an interesting article on this topic...

What do any of you think re. Trump vs DeSantis?

You did it to me as well, even after I clarified my already easy-to-understand point.

Well, it didn’t seem that way at the time. Still, it wasn’t intentional or a deliberate decision to act or talk down to anyone else like a jerk. And if I did, you have my apologies.

Some of these discussions regarding socio-political issues did get a bit contentious and heated in the past.

The approach will be to emphasize:

ACTION over TALK

Most underwhelming breaking news ever. Lol.

And he will make the announcement on Twitter. How fun...

 

[SteveSBrickNJ]

DeSantis is bypassing the approach taken by Nikki Haley or Tim Scott.
He is forsaking the usual approach and taking a more "youthful " approach than the decades old habit of standing before cameras from CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN and Fox. Tomorrow's Twitter announcement is different, but NOT foolish.
Millions are on Twitter.....AND....all the traditional media will cover THAT Twitter announcement. They'll cover it anyway!
So...........DeSantis still gets the buzz from the traditional media......yet....he'll take the first step in a long process to show that he is the youthful choice who has recently won an election in a big fashion....and contrast himself to the much older Trump who has a recent record of being a loser.
It IS a good idea.
It will make people take note.
I look forward to what the polls will say in 6 weeks....12 weeks....etc.
Now it will get interesting.

Is DeSantis going to be wearing a lungee and holding an AK-47 to declare jihad on the U.S. Constitution?

Nope.

 

[MT15]

Nope.

He should - he is indeed waging war on our Constitution.

 

[SystemShock]

Nope.

You sure?

“Put on the full armor of God. Stand firm against the left’s schemes. You will face flaming arrows, but if you have the shield of faith, you will overcome them"

The question was will he wage jihad on the constitution of the United States? He will not wage jihad against the Constitution of the United States. He IS against having kindergarten thru 4th graders listening to anything relating to human sexuality in the classroom. He thinks that young children should focus on learning to read and math. Much of America will agree with that. I'm going to watch with great interest as the weeks and months go by. We live in very interesting times.

My post will bring about fervent rebuttals. I am not in the mood to read them or respond. I will come back eventually of course. Yet it will be awhile😉

Man, you're ignoring all the crazy sheet being passed in Florida and he's signing off on. It's as anti-Constitution as anything out there.

And some of the right wing posts on Twitter and such are saying we need a dictator in the WH. It's straight up disturbing.

I could have sworn I've read a post like this somewhere before. Deja vu! Lmao.

I'm going to blame him and his lame arse culture war

Florida School Bans Amanda Gorman's Inaugural 'The Hill We Climb' Poem

“I’m gutted,” wrote the American poet in response to the ban

www.rollingstone.com

According to documents released by the Florida Freedom to Read Project and first reported by the Herald, the poem was removed from circulation after a parent claimed in March that it “is not educational and have indirectly [sic] hate messages.” The same parent brought challenges to four other books: The ABCs of Black History, Cuban Kids, Countries in the News Cuba and Love to Langston.

The complaint also incorrectly attributed Gorman’s poem to Oprah Winfrey.

 

[zztop]

oh and also

A DeSantis-appointed board made this college ground zero for his education agenda. In less than 6 months, the college eliminated its diversity board and will now accept a Christian-focused SAT-alternative from high schools in the state.

DeSantis has targeted the New College of Florida, known for its LGBTQ+ friendly atmosphere, as part of his crusade against "woke" ideology.

Maybe not all of the Constitution, I'm sure the 2nd amendment is safe.

The very first sentence of the very first amendment in the Bill of Rights states: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion", and DeSantis is signing bills to force prayer and the 10 commandments into schools, he's on a crusade against Disney because Disney criticized his "don't say gay" decree. Just about everything he does and says panders to evangelicals, those who cannot wait for the world to end in a ball of fire while their alleged righteous arses are saved by their messiah.

And there's more than reading and math... there is history, which DeSantis doesn't want taught either; the book bannings based on "morals"... and last time I was in school, there was this subject called biology being taught.

Then there's the abortion bans, which continue to get shorter and shorter periods, with the eventual aim at banning all abortions and the morning after pill.

If you don't like the term jihad because is in Arabic and it is associated with Muslims, crusade?

Trust me, im no English major, but that "complaint" looks to have been written by a 4th grader. Good grief we have some really really dumb people in this country.

I can't believe that's all it takes to get a book banned. We're not living in the US anymore, we're living fractured country where the South has become a right wing, fascist dystopian region. I need to get the hell out.
