    He’s got absolutely no shot at being President, and every time he opens his mouth, support for him drops. Keep talking Ronny.

      What if Trump is actually jailed and/or barred from running? Wouldn’t that make DeSatan the next best candidate? Even if just one state bars Trump from running, that should be enough to end his campaign and hand the nomination to DeSanctimonious. He’ll still lose the general election to Biden, but still.

        It might, but luckily DeSantis is so unlikeable and has zero charisma, that the republicans would never win a presidential election with him as the candidate.

        If Trump is jailed, he wins the election. You can run for office from jail. If anything, it will improve his image among people likely to vote for him.

        If a Blue State bars Trump from running, that doesn’t matter, because he wasn’t going to win that state anyways.

        A Red State would never bar Trump from running, because it would be political suicide for any Republican to stand against Trump in such a way.

      At this point, it’d probably get better ratings. Especially if it was like a dangerous meth head with a knife.

    I don’t understand the party thought process: they seem to want as many births as possible, but they also seem to want as many deaths as possible. What does that get them?

    Edit: never mind, I figured it out. This is slave-owner mentality. You want/need lots of fresh new meat for the grinder, but then you want to be rid of them as soon as they are past their forced-labor prime.

      This is slave-owner mentality

      It’s also religious-war/race war mentality.

      The ‘covid is fake/masks don’t work’ talking points were cast early on, when the data were mostly being reported in high-population-density areas. I suspect they decided the pandemic was a political opportunity, to let the virus kill off minorities and democrats in the cities for them.

      Of course, they’re stupid as hell in that they killed far more of their own voters than they did anyone else.

        It is entirely possible that the lopsided amount of covid related deaths among the conservative population actually skewed purple districts to blue in recent years. Stop this timeline I want to get off.

      It has nothing to do with protecting lives, it’s securing the votes of religious Americans.

    Interesting. I remember when the True Conservatives ™ were telling me that donnie won’t be the selection for their party, but ronnie will. Because he’s so reasonable and all and donnie without the baggage.

    Wonder where all those people are right about now? They were saying they’ll never vote for the “Democrat (sic) Party”, because “too extreme”, “too woke”, etc, but will vote third party if donnie does win the primary, but otherwise, they wanted ronnie. Again, because of so many principles. LOL.

      DeSantis has just become trump as a politician. Playing to the same depraved racist, anti science base for votes. I’ve been more afraid of him getting elected than Trump for 4+ years because he’s not quiet as braindead and knows how to do a little bit of politicing to get some shit done.

      Trump was a useful idiot. DeSantis would probably get more horrific shit done than he would…

    We should stop giving private corporations public funds anyway. Not that I think DeSantis would do it, but medicine and vaccines should 100% be funded, researched, and produced by public parties.

    Edit before my comment gets misunderstood: my comment is in no way a compliment to DeSantis or anti-vaccine in any way. Just against private companies being given tax dollars

    Lol real great talk there, moron. Trashing the CDC is definitely and saying not to trust science is definitely something I want in a president.

    Meanwhile, he’s polling 5th in New Hampshire and even fellow Republicans consider his campaign an embarrassment, so spewing dingbat contrarian shit like this is basically all he has left.
