Guy Chamberlin Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Donald Trump just received his first vote in our poll! After all these months I'm sure the poster would love to step forward and own this endorsement, leading to a spirited and healthy P&R discussion. 1 Link to comment

Dr. Strangelove Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 If you're wondering what happens before GOP events. Yes they hold 50% of the political audience in this country. Link to comment
TGHusker Posted January 21 Author Share Posted January 21 DeSanactimonious is out and endorses ,,,,,,trump https://www.axios.com/2024/01/21/ron-desantis-presidential-campaign-ends Why it matters: DeSantis entered the 2024 campaign widely viewed as former President Trump's most formidable opponent, but early missteps and strategic errors hampered his effort. DeSantis' announcement will give Trump an added boost ahead of the New Hampshire contest where he is looking to effectively end the GOP primary with a large win over former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley. DeSantis campaigned aggressively in Iowa, but came in second behind Trump by about 30 percentage points. The big picture: DeSantis launched his presidential campaign in May, but he had been laying the groundwork before then, highlighting his legislative accomplishments in Florida that related to his "anti-woke" agenda. He cruised to re-election as governor in 2022, when many other Republican candidates underperformed expectations, which fueled the speculation that he was ready to take on Trump. DeSantis' pitch to voters was that the Sunshine State — which passed aggressive restrictions under his leadership on abortion rights, LGBTQ people and more — could be a model for the rest of the country. 1 Link to comment

Who could have foreseen that trying to elbow your way in to the right of Trump and flip MAGA voters all the while not even confronting Trump was a losing strategy? So ends possibly the worst campaign in history. 1 Link to comment

So, I wonder if he was given the VP slot for getting out just before NH. I ALSO WONDER DO THE DESANTIS VOTERS ON HB WHO SAY THEY WON'T VOTE FOR TRUMP NOW SUPPORT HALEY OR VOTE FOR TRUMP A THIRD TIME??? 1 1 Link to comment

Dr. Strangelove Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Going out making up a quote is very on brand for a Republican. He's leaving the race the same way he came in, on a mountain of bulls#!t. 1 1 Link to comment

We will find out, soon. The VP offering has been floated by many. Seems like odd timing 2 days out. Desantis would be better pick than Tucker. Link to comment

Nikki Haley is going to be endorsing Trump by March 5th at the latest. She's going to spend her pathetic time attacking Bidens age and mental acuity all while Donald Trump routinely confuses her for Nancy Pelosi. 1 Link to comment

Well, that makes sense that anyone would attack Joe's mind, that is the no-brainer move. But, March 5th is a long ways off...and with Ronnie (not the good one, the lame one) out, those votes are going somewhere and my guess is that they are not going to donnie. But, you may very well be right. But I hope not. 1 Link to comment
Archy1221 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 It’s a shame the Conservative Republican who governed in a way the vast majority of Republicans would like the country governed was passed over, but it seems Strange Doctor is correct. Republican voters are not smart this cycle. 1 1 1 Link to comment

But, you may very well be right. But I hope not. If I were to guess, Haley will drop out shortly after she loses her home state of South Carolina on February 24th. However, the latest her campaign will last is March 5th, after the Super Tuesday primaries are dominated by Trump leaving her no path to victory. The soonest she drops out is eary next week after she loses in New Hampshire. She may realize that the sooner she embarrasses herself by endorsing Trump, the better the chances that he helps her salvage the rest of her pathetic political career. Make no mistake, the race for the Republican nomination is over and has been for months. Link to comment
