Trump is a pretty polarizing figure especially among conservatives, is there anyone else that stands a better chance to lead the country back on track?

Pretty polarizing would be an understatement.

That mouth, polarization is why Trump will never be president again.

I am not sure there is anybody else, other than the RINOā€™s and more Neo-cons.

330 million people in the US and no one is better than Trump???

Why is it the best and brightest no longer seek office???

Could it be the toxic media?

Could the toxic atmosphere be Trump and his incessant attacks against anyone that disagrees with him?

Trumpā€™s insane lies on DeSantis trash successful conservative policies

Presidential primaries get very dirty, and thatā€™s to be expected.

But here in April 2023, the GOP one has already descended into a disgusting spiral of lies and insanity ā€” because of the increasingly disordered and amateurish Donald Trump campaign.

He has a record of accomplishment as president; he led the country to prosperity that has since sharply declined; he exposes the politicization and corruption of our government agencies when heā€™s personally targeted by leftist activist district attorneys like Alvin Bragg and when he is the subject of a baseless search for documents at his home.

Yet he, and the not-very-smart people around him, have decided that for him to win the primary he needs to not only destroy Floridaā€™s extremely popular Gov. Ron DeSantis (who has not yet even announced a presidential run), but also to demolish all of DeSantisā€™ conservative policies and practices that have been so wildly successful in the sunshine state.

On Friday, the Trump campaign released a bizarre statement trashing Florida ā€” the state that Trump, and nearly everyone in his immediate family including three of his grown children and their own families, have made their home during the DeSantis administration.

ā€œThe real DeSantis record is one of misery and despair,ā€ said Trump spokesman Steven Cheung. DeSantis ā€œhas left a wake of destruction all across Florida and people are hurting because he has spent more time playing public relations games instead of actually doing the hard-work needed to improve the lives of the people he represents.ā€

Floridians seem to disagree with this assessment, having just handed our governor a nearly 20-point win in November.

To prove this ā€œwake of destruction,ā€ the campaign plucked random factoids, many of them from far-left sources.

A Trump campaign spokesman claimed that DeSantisā€™ record is ā€œone of misery and despair.ā€

A leftist thinktank called Florida one of the most expensive states to live in. A leftist organization noted Florida is one of the worst places to work.

Yet over 700,000 people have moved to Florida in the last few years, and they keep on coming. Someone let them know: Leftists, and Donald Trump, think Florida is super bad!

On Thursday, a number of Florida members of Congress who had endorsed the presidentā€™s re-election campaign (even after he recently said that Democrats like Charlie Crist also did a good job in the state) stood grinning for a picture at Mar-a-Lago.

The very next day they were forced to answer whether they too believe Florida ā€œcontinues to tumble into complete and total delinquency and destruction.ā€

All of this is a lie.

And Trump knows itā€™s a lie. By Friday night, Florida was no longer an apocalyptic hellscape and those sycophants who had spent the day agreeing with Trump that Florida is simply the worst were cut off at the legs.

ā€œIā€™m thrilled to be here with the proud, hard-working patriots of the great state of Florida. Itā€™s a great state. Great place.ā€ Trump said at the Republican Party of Lee County Lincoln Reagan Dinner in Fort Myers.

Didnā€™t sound so great this morning, sir!

If it doesnā€™t make sense, welcome to the Trump campaign.

For months, his campaign has attacked DeSantis as some globalist shill, supported by Paul Ryan ā€” notwithstanding the total lack of evidence for any of that.

Trump later praised Florida at the Republican Party of Lee County Lincoln Reagan Dinner in Fort Myers.

If you donā€™t remember who Ryan is, thatā€™s OK: Just know heā€™s someone that Donald Trump raved about a number of times but is now Trumpspeak shorthand for everything wrong with the Republican Party.

Despite DeSantis being just a terrible governor, Trump demands full credit for him being elected.

Trump loves to talk about how DeSantis had no shot until Trump endorsed him. Heā€™s the worst and I put him in office!

And then there are the attacks on DeSantisā€™ stellar handling of the pandemic.

My own family made the move to Florida in large part because of his sane and steady leadership during that time.

But to hear Trump tell it, DeSantis did a terrible job during COVID.

ā€œFlorida was closed for a long period of time,ā€ Trump told his favorite audience, the media, in January. But then, a few days ago, he said, ā€œHe didnā€™t do well on COVID. He had more deaths than almost every country, in Florida. The thing he did well on was public relations because the numbers werenā€™t what they pretended to be.ā€

Somehow Florida both locked down too hard but also opened too soon and killed a lot of people.

And, in case you hadnā€™t heard the leftist conspiracy theory that DeSantis had faked Floridaā€™s very average COVID death rate and stashed the bodies somewhere, Donald Trump is there to tell you all about it.

Itā€™s understandable that Trump is threatened by DeSantis. Should the governor enter the race, heā€™d be a very formidable candidate.

But Trump is not just slamming an exceptional Republican governor with his stupid attacks, heā€™s attacking the very best Republican policies and the model Republican state.

What do you think? Post a comment.

DeSantisā€™ wins in Florida are celebrated because he has taken smart conservative policies and implemented them well to wild acclaim in what used to be a purple state but is, under his leadership, now reliably red. Itā€™s what winning looks like.

Donald Trump supporters need to ask themselves: How much of that are they willing to sacrifice to defend their guy? And why?

The man is beyond pathetic.

Maybe itā€™s the nature of the deep state and swamp why leaders can not be effective in Washington? I am guessing of course but the nature of politics is adversarial so attacks on others seems to be part of the mud sling we see during elections. We see this in Norway and Germany. Not to the extent as America, but there are jabs and gameplay among opponents.

I am not a Trump supporter but I see the case why so many insist he comes back

No, the toxic atmosphere is not Trump. I know you hate him, but you are more intelligent than that. The whole reason that Trump won in16ā€™ is because of the toxic bullshit from our politicians and mediaā€¦ he is a product of the toxic atmosphere foisted on the population by the media and our POS politicians.

Unless someone with a big pair of balls steps up in the next year, he will be the nominee. I no longer think DeSantis is that guy.

Noā€¦ itā€™s greed and power, plain and simple.

It always is which always drives the stakes higher.

I agree. Trump is the manifestation of the establishment and the Uni-party social club of Clintons, Bushes, and Obamaā€™s. Its an incestuous affair that Trump came along and crashed the party. They hated him for it ever since.

As far as DeSantis I think he should finish out his term then consider running in 28. The criticism I have for DeSantis is I really donā€™t like the Koch brothers which is part of his donor base.
