Matt Gaetz Calls on Ron DeSantis, Ted Cruz to Endorse Donald Trump for President

Katherine Hamilton 25 Mar 2023

Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz (R) called on Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) to support Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential run.

Gaetz made the comment during a speech on Saturday at a Trump rally in Waco, Texas. During his speech, the congressman credited the success of both DeSantis and Cruz to Trump because of how the former president supported them as candidates in their respective races.

“Only Donald Trump could have rescued us from Hillary Clinton. Without Trump doing three rallies in the final week in the 2018 election in Florida, my governor today would probably be Andrew Gillum,” Gaetz said, referencing the close race between DeSantis and Gillum, who was soon after caught up in various scandals. “How weird is that? And without Trump dragging Ted Cruz across the finish line, your senator would probably be beta-Beto.”

“So Ron DeSantis, Ted Cruz: patriots of the MAGA movement delivered for you in your time of need,” Gaetz continued. “Today, Ron DeSantis and Ted Cruz should endorse Donald Trump for president and stand with us as we were so proud to stand with them.”

So what's going to happen if they don't?

Nothing.

I'm just going to say that the whole MAGA thing has gotten really weird.  I don't even feel like winning the election is what motivates them any more.  It's more like they're just looking for emotional catharsis by berating and mocking everyone who disagrees with them.  If that means they don't win...they're okay with that.  They got to tell off everyone they don't like, and that's good enough.

Not sure I've ever seen anything like it.

[catfish1957]

If the MAGA movement means more Trump record deficit spending....   then count me out.

Gaetz is Trump's Water Boy...  what a GMF.

[Sighlass]

And the reason most of us didn't want him elected... and others did.

Nor have I. I see it this way, winning elections means work has to be done. Losing elections means no work, but continued moaning and collecting money.

[Free Vulcan]

Gaetz didn't like it when Trump was getting his nose in the House Leader fight, he can do the same with the Presidential race.

Serious tactical error.

MAGAs have carved out an exemption on character and spending issues for Donald Trump that they would never allow for anyone else

You see some of that here. Whenever anyone points out the massive amount of debt that Donald Trump added on to an already unsustainable debt, you either get ridiculous defenses like those were budgets that he couldn’t do anything about because they were all left from the previous president, or, “not this shit again” themed memes

Exactly, and when I get those ridiculous comments I have to counter that with the exception of Clinton, every POTUS since Reagan, and including Reagan had to dieal with a major crisis that they had to walk the tight rope of incurred debt. 

Reagan- Cleaning up Carter's mess
Bush I- First Gulf War
Bush II- WOT
Obama- Great Recession, and his stupid QE circus

The Orange Brigade has no defense that even inflation adjusted, Trump as POTUS   over saw the worst run up of federal debt in modern history.  His record...  He needs to own it, rather than his silly deflection on the matter on populist shit.

This country needs a fiscally driven POTUS.....   In the worst way possible.

Yeah, let's all endorse adding another several trillion dollars to the federal deficit!

You still on the Trump Train, after he threatened death and destruction, and posted a picture himself holding a baseball bat, menacing a district attorney?   Not a good look, pete.

I have no doubt head honchos at the DNC are drooling at the opportunity to use those words and images along with Jan 6th footage in the general against him. I would if I was them

Although I can’t think of a better person to smack along side of the head than Alvin Bragg

Yes,I am.

BTW,WHEN was the photo with  the baseball bat taken,and did Trump post it next to  the DA,or did someone else?

I SUSPECT that  Bragg is nothing more than a flunkie,following the orders of his masters.

Not that "I vas jist followink orders!" is much of an excuse for an adult.

Trump did.  In his own Truth Social post.  You can find it reported in a bunch of different places, Trump's own lawyer said it was "ill-advised", and there is no denial from Trump that he did it.

@Maj. Bill Martin

Ok,thanks.

It is sad to think I even had  to ask,but things aren't as simple these days as they used to be,and you  are right,it was a stupid thing to do.

I don't blame you in the slightest.  I'm extremely skeptical of the things I read, especially if they seem either too good or too bad to be true.  I always read underlying articles and sometimes do some additional checking to decide whether or not a story is credible.

One of the reasons I left TOS was because almost everyone seemed to comment just on the headlines without reading the articles, and it was remarkable how many times the headlines didn't reflect what was in the article.  And sometimes, even if you read the article, you would have to check some of the sources that that article cited to see if they were credible or not.  People here generally do see much more interested in confirming that something is true before spouting about it.  I think that's why the actual discussions are so much better.

@Maj. Bill Martin

I am not so sure that is still true. There seems to be a large number of regular posters here now that LIVE to post slander,lies,and anything negative they can find or make up about Trump.

I have chemo brain so my memory  isn't what it used to be,but I don't remember seeing posters here slander Clinton or Biden like this.

Thinking  about dropping out until after the election. Life is too short to be getting mad every day.

[LMAO]

Who? And what are the lies?

[sneakypete]

@LMAO

I just got through explaining my memory loss due to cancer treatement,and you seriously expect me to look up who are the worse and quote their accusations?

ESAD is the kindest thing I have to write to you.

But you made the charge. Surely you could find one. All I've seen is people quote Trump's own words and both candidates voting records.

I understand memory loss due to cancer treatment and I hope and pray you feel better but you can't just make a claim and not back it up

Admit you don't really know and move on

   It's apparent 'Cancer Therapy' is another way the Medical Industry is used to brainwash us. 
  @sneakypete it seems just 14~18 months ago you disliked Trump almost as much as me.
