Perhaps. But then she’ll finish 3rd in the convoluted Iowa caucus where Desantis has gone all in, where we probably won’t find out who won for days (remember 2016?). Then she’s gonna get trounced by Trump in her home state of SC, and it will be over.
I’m not really liking her but it just seems she’s getting bumped up the rankings and for what?
The conk neocon establishment $$$, which a year ago was backing Desantis. She’s the Jeb Bush of 2024

I think she's a neo con and I don't really like her either but she's better than any of the other buffoons still in the race.

She's getting bumped because she's an alternative to trump and because of all the remaining Republican candidates, she has the best chance of winning the general election.
All true, but Christie is still right when he says she isn't ready; she's an appeaser and Trump will use her like a sock puppet after she pardons him

I don't think so. trump and his MAGAt yahoos have completely hijacked the Republican party. I'm not sure the party can be taken back in the near term.

The funny thing is that they like to call anyone who doesn't worship at the alter of trump a RINO when it's them who have turned their back on Republican principles like individual freedom and a focus on economic growth.

In his closing pitch to Iowa Republicans, Trump says their votes can help him punish his enemies
Donald Trump implored his supporters Sunday to brave frigid temperatures and deliver him a decisive victory in Monday’s Iowa caucuses, saying their vote would help bring to Washington the retribution he has repeatedly promised if he returns to the White House.
Vote for me because I'm a vindictive twat who wants to punish my enemies not because I'm a good leader who wants to implement good policies.

Iowa pastors denounce ‘God Made Trump’ video
Terry Amann, pastor of the Church of the Way in Des Moines, found the video distasteful. “Christians have no right to be offended by anything since Christ went to the cross totally innocent for us guilty sinners,” he said. “That being said, (the video) demeans Christianity, Trump and the people who made it. It says a lot about the people around Trump and their ‘worldly’ understanding of Christianity.”

Its gobsmacking that people actually believe this nonsense. I mean how weak does your mind have to be to swallow this kind of mumbo jumbo.... :ohno:

Irony is off the charts

Joey Rotten letting that country fall apart is due to his vindictive treatment of the border. Do you think if Texas was a liberal state that he would’ve taken the same course of action?

Nope

What a disgusting piece of white trash the stooge President is

Why is this surprising? People loath Trump in large numbers, on both sides of the aisle. He's bitter and old, and even if elected he's limited to 4 years tops. People don't want to vote for Biden either - he's even older, he doesn't even seem like he's doing the job now, but he's not a bitter guy who has actually says he wants to be a dictator and he wants to use the office for retribution. People want to vote for anyone other than these two guys, but if we're stuck with these two, plenty see Biden as a less awful pick than Trump. None of this is shocking.

Iowa Republicans who’ve changed their minds this cycle are searching for a Trump alternative
According to the latest NBC News/Des Moines Register/Mediacom poll, 65% of likely GOP caucusgoers said they have supported their first-choice candidate through the whole campaign, while 27% said they at one time supported a different candidate than the one they plan to support on Monday.

Several of the likely caucusgoers who’ve switched candidates told NBC News they once supported Trump but are now ready to move on, with former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy as their leading options.

Lol Biden isn’t bitter :suspicious: :shock: :lol:

Trump made the comment about being a dictator just the 1st day in office tongue in cheek. Speaking of dictators in office the 1st day, Biden actually acted like one signing a slew of 1st day Exec orders (granted all POTUSes do it so in a sense they are all quasi dictators on the 1st day)..

But Biden is the one acting like a dictator now by tryring to imprison his chief politocal rival and leading presidential candidate of the opposition party, in an election year. That is next level banana republic.

And he said the below in 2021

Yet by Biden’s own 2021 deintion he is acting like a dictator. He has signed around 130 exec orders his 1st 3 years, even on things he knew were unconstitutional (like banning evictions for nonpayment rent, trying to wipe away student loan debt, etc, etc)..

Ron DeSantis hits Donald Trump ahead of crucial Iowa Caucuses, issues warning to Republican voters
“I think that ends up focusing the election on things that are going to be advantageous for Democrats because you're not going to be talking about the border. You're not going to be talking about the economy. You're going to be talking about all these things to make the election a referendum on Donald Trump,” DeSantis said.
Might be the smartest thing deconkis has ever said.

Joey Rotten is very bitter and vindictive as hell

Trump said recently he would be a dictator for one day and lock down the border and his retribution would be success

It’s highly likely that this primary is over (not that it’s a surprise).

The question now is whether the establishment will broker an alliance with Trump. I’m not sure they have a choice or the courage not to.

Monied interests. He already has the evangelicals.

Trump needs help convincing enough moderate conservatives that his clown show can still provide stability for markets, keep taxes low, and deregulate industries.
