"Now we’re stuck with Trump because the Democrat Party, with the help of the American corporate media, manipulated Republican voters into doing the very thing that will lead the Republican Party to defeat." Dianny
"Florida Governor Ron DeSantis announced yesterday that he was suspending his campaign for the Republican nomination.
I admit, I’m a bit disappointed.
Of all the candidates who jumped into the 2024 race, Ron DeSantis was far and away the best of the lot and the only one who could point to a proven track record of turning campaign promises into accomplishments.
It’s too bad Republican primary voters aren’t interested in electing the best guy for the job. They’re much more focused on expressing their anger at a weaponized justice system by nominating the victim of it.
That’ll teach’em!
Donald Trump is getting the nomination for 91 reasons, and each of them is a criminal charge against him.
Early in 2023, DeSantis was the odds-on favorite to deprive Trump of his third bite of the presidential apple.
Naturally, Democrats were in a panic.
They knew an 81-year-old Joe Biden could not compete against a young, competent, successful, popular governor who is a military veteran with a lovely young family.
Just the optics of Biden standing beside DeSantis on a debate stage would have been enough to destroy the senile old coot’s chances.
But then, like manna from heaven, in late March 2023, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg rained down 34 criminal charges on Donald Trump in connection to the hush money payment he made to porn actress Stormy Daniels.
With that indictment, the political winds shifted." . . .
