UPDATED: Maybe The Crowd Didn’t React As Trump Expected But Here’s Why Trump Took A Jab At DeSantis

The problem with Ron isn’t how he’s running Florida, it’s that he’s not showing loyalty to the guy who helped him win a REALLY tight race. 


USA Supreme  "Ron DeSantis is the latest politician to fall victim to one of Trump’s famous nicknames.

"In times past Trump has coined Low Energy Jeb, Sleepy Joe, Crooked Hillary, Little Marco Rubio, and the list goes on and on.

"During last night’s rally in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, Trump surprisingly gave Ron DeSantis the nickname “Ron DeSanctimonious”.

"'We’re winning big in the Republican Party for the nomination like nobody’s ever seen before,” Trump told a crowd in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, on Saturday night before going down the list of other Republicans who could potentially challenge him in 2024.

“ 'There it is, Trump at 71%, Ron DeSanctimonious at 10%,” Trump told the crowd while reading the approval numbers of various Republicans.

" 'Mike Pence at 7, oh, Mike is doing better than I thought,” Trump continued. “Liz Cheney there’s no way she’s at 4%. There’s no way. There’s no way. But we’re at 71 to 10 to 7 to 4.' ”. . .

UPDATE,11/7:  Trump did not insult Ron DeSantis, it was merely a joke; A very odd joke; 

Biden's Closing Argument Worries Some Democrats

 


USA TODAY  "Joe Biden crisscrossed the stage for a half-hour before he delivered his gravest warning yet.

"The president – his right hand holding a microphone, his left casually in his suit pocket – returned to the podium and paused

From a previous speech
"This is really deadly earnest, man," Biden told the Florida Memorial University crowd during a campaign rally last week in Miami. "Democracy is on the ballot this year. Along with your right to choose and the right to privacy."

"Biden has spent the final days of an uphill midterm campaign for Democrats imploring that modern-day Republicans are uniquely dangerous – willing to destroy democracy to gain power, ban abortion nationally, cut Social Security and Medicare and, if they don't get their way on entitlements, crash the economy by forcing the government into default.

Conservatives turn on Trump for attacking Ron DeSantis ahead of midterms: ‘What an idiot’

 


MSN   "Conservative commentators who are typically Donald Trump's allies turned on the former president after he went after Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Saturday.

Trump mocked DeSantis as "Ron DeSanctimonious" while discussing the 2024 Republican presidential primary at a rally in Pennsylvania. The pair is widely considered to be the top contenders for the Republican nomination, though DeSantis has offered no indication he intends to run. Commentators called out Trump for creating division in the ranks just three days before the midterm elections.

"DeSantis is an extremely effective conservative governor who has had real policy wins and real cultural wins. Trump isn’t going to be able to take this one down with a dumb nickname. He better have more than that up his sleeve," wrote Matt Walsh, a commentator at The Daily Wire and a leading voice among social conservatives.

"Also, nice job launching your public attack against the most popular conservative governor in America three days before the midterms when we’re all supposed to be showing a united front," he added.

"What an idiot," wrote Rod Dreher, a senior editor at The American Conservative. "DeSantis is a far more effective leader of the Right than Trump was, if, that is, you expect a leader to get a lot done, rather than just talking about it and owning the libs.". . .

. . .A presidential straw poll at the Turning Point USA Student Action Summit found that 78.7% of attendees favored Trump to be the Republican nominee in 2024. 

Another straw poll at the Conservative Political Action Conference in August found that Trump had 69% support from attendees to run in 2024. DeSantis came in with just 24% support.

Nevertheless, DeSantis has carried the victory in some 2024 primary polls. A survey of Republicans in New Hampshire saw the governor take a thin lead over Trump in a potential Republican primary in June. The poll showed 39% of likely Republican primary voters in the Granite State would support the first-term Florida governor, with 37% backing the former president.

Rat's Nest: Hakeem Jeffries and Adam Schiff gnaw and scratch it out over who gets to lead the losing Democrats

 Monica Showalter  "The battle to be King 'Rat among the rapidly sinking Democrats is now going full steam.

"According to Politico:

The race to succeed Speaker Nancy Pelosi as the leader of House Democrats may have been clinched at a meeting in the Capitol on Sept. 1.

That’s when House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn of South Carolina and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries of New York slipped back to Washington to connect in Clyburn’s office during the summer congressional recess at Jeffries’ request.

Jeffries, the fifth-ranking House Democrat who aspires to be the first-ranking House Democrat in the next Congress, was picking up heightened chatter from colleagues about California Rep. Adam Schiff’s outreach expressing his own interest in the top caucus job.

"Hakeem, it seems, was pretty sure he had it in the bag until Adam Schiff came along, sneaking around under cover of darkness to get the leadership job locked up. According to my research from last January, Hakeem's planned it out like this for years. He went running to Clyburn, the man who made Joe Biden president, to try to get Godfather's blessing again.". . .

The Democrats’ Insurrection Flop; January 6 ever mattered to anyone outside the Beltway.

To the contrary, plenty of Americans believe retaliatory criminal and congressional investigations intended to criminalize political speech and activity represent an unprecedented abuse of power by a regime with no accountability, no decency, and no mercy. J.K.
Pelosi's posse

 Julie Kelly  "If there is a poster child for the Democrats’ humiliating failure to make the events surrounding January 6, 2021 a winning issue in the midterm elections, it is U.S. Representative Elaine Luria (D-Va.).

"The two-term congresswoman is fighting for her political life in a race now categorized as a toss-up; a recent poll showed Luria tied with Republican State Senator Jen Kiggans just a few weeks before an expected red wave election, despite Luria outspending Kiggans by a more than 2-1 margin. (Before the state’s remap process, Luria represented a district that voted for Joe Biden by 5 percentage points and Hillary Clinton by 6 percentage points. Her new district now has a 3-point Democratic advantage.)

"It wasn’t supposed to be this way. No doubt anticipating a tough reelection for Luria, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) appointed her to the January 6 select committee—an exercise sold to the American people as a way to investigate what happened that day and prevent future “insurrections.” Primetime televised coverage promised to make Luria a national star, a defender of “democracy,” and a voice of reason in a country purportedly under siege by domestic terrorists—i.e., Trump voters.

" 'We must leave behind any veil of partisanship at the door because the American people deserve answers on what happened on that day and how we can ensure this does not happen again,” Luria said in July 2021, before the committee’s first public hearing.

"But that, of course, didn’t happen. The committee instead descended into the latest iteration of the “Get Trump” crusade; rather than press law enforcement and congressional leadership to explain why they failed to secure the Capitol or identify the alleged “pipe bomber,” or release thousands of hours of surveillance video, the committee, including Luria, fixated on the former president and his inner circle.

"The public tuned out—rightly concluding Biden-created crises, such as the wide open border and exploding inflation pose far greater threats to the republic than the dude with the furry horn hat. This confounds the regime’s corporate media lackeys, who have devoted more coverage to the four-hour disturbance than perhaps any other event in American history.

"Scott MacFarlane, a CBS News national correspondent assigned exclusively to the January 6 beat, traveled to Luria’s district to find out why her constituents don’t care about it. Claiming Luria had something “unique” to talk about—“what she calls her effort to prevent another attempted insurrection and attack on democracy,” MacFarlane explained—the reporter seemed gobsmacked that voters were more concerned with rising gas and food prices. The January 6 committee, MacFarlane lamented, is not “top of mind.”

"Vox reporter Ben Jacobs shared MacFarlane’s mortification over voters’ lack of interest in a story that has monopolized the media’s attention for nearly two years. ". . .

Democrats dominate every aspect of corporate, media, and political power and they don’t know when to let up on the gas.

"Making a mockery of democracy by associating it in the public mind with the elevation of dumb, dementia-ridden, or mentally deficient candidates is deeply and profoundly unwise for Democrats. But they can’t seem to help themselves." 

"Don’t get high on your own supply. This sensible advice applies to drug dealers and Democrats alike. But as badly as the American Left needs this lesson, it may already be too late. 

"Liberals, like Al Pacino in “Scarface, have already shoved their noses into a mound of the (anti-)white stuff. Not smart. And nowhere is their self-delusion more on display than in the U.S. Senate race in Pennsylvania. 

"John Fetterman, the Democratic candidate, is mentally unfit to hold office. Period. His debate performance against his Republican opponent, Dr. Mehmet Oz, was an unmitigated disaster. Fetterman had to have a screen behind the moderators display a live close captioned transcript of the moderators and Oz’s responses because, after his stroke earlier this year, he simply cannot process auditory information correctly. 

"During the debate, Fetterman frequently stumbled over words. Many of his sentences came out as a jumble of barely coherent gibberish. Tucker Carlson’s summary of the debate provides a damning overview of Fetterman’s dismal performance.

"Fetterman’s health struggles should disqualify him from holding higher office. With Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) all but reduced to eating tapioca mush and blankly staring at reruns of “Matlock,” the Senate’s quota for mentally unfit politicos has already been filled. 

"Fetterman’s stroke on May 13 came just before the Democratic primary. He should have dropped out then and focused on making a full and enduring recovery. His decision (or, more likely, the decision of his handlers) to gut it out and run in the general election was wrong. Oz is as moderate a Republican as the Democrats are likely to face. Democratic leadership should have put Fetterman’s best interests before their shallow political aims and found a way to work with Oz.". . .
