DeSantis underwhelms Britain’s business chiefs

[LMAO]

On top of which, he cannot win elections, either.

Yup

MAGAs live in a world of extreme denial
He got extremely lucky in 2016. That luck hasn’t been repeated. Not just him but candidates that the Democrats can tie to him

When Biden did his “MAGA Republicans” speech just before the 2022 midterms, I thought that was an odd speech to give out of the blue. But they must’ve focus group that term because it worked and it is still working

And you  going to see more and more GOP candidates try to distance himself from Trump going forward.

[LMAO]

Let's review, shall we?  You choose winning elections over balancing the budget.  We get that.  But your boy Trump happened to run up more debt in four years than any other President in US history.  And the effect of that is that he and Republicans lost the 2018 and 2020 elections.  So clearly, there is something whack about your reasoning here.

The fact that they believe the issue of runaway spending is a red herring  tells me that not only are they “all in, no matter what” for Trump, but that they don’t understand or are just ignorant of the fiscal issues facing this country. To pay off the debt, the  Federal Government needs about $250,000 from each taxpayer. The inflation we are experiencing can be very much tied to the debt and deficits. In order to make up the difference when government deficit spends, the Federal Government has to borrow. But you can only borrow so much and, with interest rates rising, borrowing will become more expensive. So we print the difference. The seeds for the current inflation were planted during the Trump era. Biden has helped fuel it

All GOP candidates need to make this THE issue. Culture Wars alone  won’t do it. And Trump can’t hide forever. He needs to be aggressively confronted on this issue otherwise we’ll become Greece on steroids

You using the word "conservative" is almost getting blasphemous at this point.

Get a hold of yourself!  You're starting to sound insane.

[catfish1957]

When I hear populist Trumpy voters wanting to take us off the fiscal cliff like you?  Yeah that does make insane.

Thelma and Louise floored the pedal years ago.  Why should WE suddenly give a damn about fiscal responsibility.

As far as the Democrat voter goes, all I'd be doing is making THEM 'suffer'.  With an adversarial mainstream media!

...yeah, THAT'S the ticket!!  That's the way to victory in November 2026 mid-terms.

And yeah...you've been acting frantic around here lately.  Chill, brother!

Because we are good moral people who believe it to be a crime to saddle others with our debt?

LOL!  At the rate we're going, maybe they can put that on your headstone??

My prediction, which I surely won't see, but you may...

The United States ceding Alaska and the Hawaii Islands to China to pay off a debt.  And you should pray that's all they'll take.

Well that's a bit ridiculous... Alaska and Hawaii are sovereign. The United States does not have the authority to sell them.

Bullshit. It is just that you can't defend it in the least.
And never will. Small government is the root of every fight. And the one that matters.

The absurdity of defending a government that costs more than the entire combined income  of the whole United States is appalling.

[Right_in_Virginia]

Stop spamming every damn thread. Start you own sub-forum on Federal Spending and stop blocking discussion on every other issue.

It's gone beyond annoying ---- it's starting to reek of subterfuge.  And, it's enough.

I will NOT. It is *THE* giant elephant in the room, and y'all are doing *NOTHING* about it. Not a damn thing. No wonder you can't defend it.

[LMAO]

Well, it’s nice to see MAGAs finally admit to what just a year or two ago they referred as a nonsense claim and that is they, in fact, do want grow the size of the federal government and continue the unsustainable spending

I believe 2024 for the GOP may end up being more similar to 1976. The Republican Party is a mess, and  I’m not really  sold on the idea that DeSantis is the guy to change that although his record on the spending issue while in Congress was much better than that of Donald Trump’s as president. Maybe we’ll get lucky in 2028.

Despite noise being made from the likes of RFK, jr, the Democrat party machine and money is going to be behind Joe Biden’s reelection. And the media is going to also be 100% behind the reelection of Joe Biden.

All done  hijacking

That is, btw, the very epitome of being satisfied with candy thrown by the clown at the front of the parade.

@roamer_1

For someone who always jumps in to tell us how knowledgeable you are about any task/situation, you really disappoint us with your bullshit position on blaming President Trump on spending during his term.

What politician in THIS climate would oppose sending out stimulus checks in a campaign reelection year...in the middle of a fraud 'pandemic'.   In any party.  Hell..any planet!  Any galaxy!

The buck stops at the top. No exception for Tumpy. Nobody is giving that excuse to Bidet.... Or to any president that came before.It is his hit to take, and he deserves it. Right between the eyes. No president in history spent more. And not a single veto. His name is on every bit of it.

You're the poster-boy of Conservatism!  Hip-Hooray!
THAT, and $2 gets you a 16oz coffee at the 7-11.

Name a Conservative who would have vetoed a damned thing...in REAL TIME!

Picking a name out your behind won't do!  You can't.  Because it's tantamount to 'suicide' politically.

Having the CDC provide guidelines for States to follow...shutting down businesses and contact with dying family?

You're too smart to walk around here expecting us to believe your argument.

Suggest you put your hand in your pocket and make a peace sign with the other.  (Janis Joplin reference)

I won’t argue with you on this.  I didn’t like the shutdowns and all the checks being sent out and I knew it would lead to inflation but I wasn’t president and running for reelection at the time.  I tend to be more merciful on Donald Trump when it comes to Covid as he was very new in politics and there were very few who shined during the pandemic. Kristi Noem was probably one of the best. But she was an anomaly.

But COVID is over.  It’s not just his spending record before and during Covid. It’s also the fact that he is promising to be even worse should he be reelected.

Catchy meme

But reading your responses on this subject has made my point. And a meme doesn’t change that.
