DeSantis: Trump never 'drained the swamp,' but I did in Florida

[Right_in_Virginia]

You obviously hold DeSantis to a higher standard than Trump.

Not my quote @Free Vulcan

[Right_in_Virginia]

Are you kidding me?  This from you who hawks and defends one of the biggest narcissist in political history.

Not my quote @catfish1957

That response from you seems to be getting more common.... Quote a bunch of Twitter posts and then distance yourself from what you post when pressed.

"Desantis on the Fulton county DA’s indictment of Trump:

- No mention of Trump’s name
- Says he didn’t read the indictment
- Talks about himself

Not the man for the moment.

There are more important issues facing America right now than some assistant DA's name in Fulton County, Georgia.

And the hypocrisy of (falsely) accusing anyone of talking about himself supporting the biggest narcissist politician in US history who talks about himself 24/7 is off the charts.

Stop posting lies already.

Back to the topic at hand.  Who did more to drain the swamp?  Ron DeSantis or Donald Trump?  Let's discuss.

How about we count the number of lives destroyed, businesses destroyed and children's long term development damaged under who's watch?

Yes, we've all heard the excuses - he just followed the federal bureaucracy in a time of crisis... But leaders are supposed to lead, not follow. Otherwise it doesn't matter who we elect as "leader".

This has always been my reaction when a tweet is misunderstood @Sighlass   .....  to those who are unaware that a retweet is not an endorsement.  A retweet is nothing more than interesting and thought provoking.  Some I agree with, some I do not.  But, I am not the author of any of them and correct the poster who thinks I am.

Thanks for asking.

You posting other people's tweets here has a purpose, and that purpose is to push a political statement.  It is a flat out lie to suggest that you have no bias here and that your posting of these tweets serves no agenda.

Never have I seen you post an anti-Trump tweet or a pro-DeSantis tweet.  Coincidence?  I think not.  You are simply a liar posting something again that you know is not true.

Unless accompanied by statements indicating that the re-tweet is done for purposes of criticism, a re-tweet is by default an endorsement of the content that was re-tweeted.

In other words, you're trolling.

But from someone who spoke openly of wanting to—and I quote— "destroy the Republican Party, top to bottom," to avenge Trump, I expect it at this point.

Quote my post fully and accurately @jmyrlefuller --- and we'll talk.  Otherwise, shut up.

You appear to be trapped in a time warp. The "who else are you going to vote for" days are over. That thinking is what brought us to this point in our history. We surrendered the power of our vote to the "lesser of two evils" fallacy. No more.

This is about a return to peace, prosperity, freedom and strength. AND, it’s about uprooting a deep administrative state that has grown into a monster totalitarian Uniparty.

If the Totalitarians among us are successful in stopping Trump from running, the Republic is done.

The only chance of rebuilding will be to crush the Republican Party -— from top to bottom -— and clear the way for a true opposition party.

The headline of the article is true.  Trump never drained the swamp.  Meanwhile, DeSantis' accomplishments in FL continue to shine and he drained the swamp.

So ... unless there is some evidence that Trump drained the swamp, which we all know he didn't, then I'd say those defending Trump on this issue should shut up unless they've have some proof.

   I can't speak for management but I'm certain the Mod Room is quite active discussing your treatment of other Briefers @Right_in_Virginia

I was being nice.  Not quite as accurate as the original.  But definitely nicer.

Have you ever asked yourself why you have a propensity for posting things that aren't true?  Perhaps taking a personal inventory of yourself is in order.  If you get honest with yourself, maybe you can discover the root of why you do it.  In the mean time, the rest of us will continue to get a kick out of the hypocrisy you flood this forum with.  It is like being able to have fun posting as a Conservative on DU without immediately getting banned.  I thank you for having that opportunity here to point out the sheer dishonesty of the 'progressive' [sic] mindset on a daily basis.

Here's your big chance, @Right_in_Virginia .  Tell us how Trump drained the Swamp.

Draining the Swamp


Who Is Reince Priebus, Trump's Newly Named Chief Of Staff?

Brian Naylor  |  November 14, 20169:29 AM ET

Reince Priebus once joked about his job as chairman of the Republican National Committee that people assumed he must be miserable. But Priebus said he didn't see it that way. "I'm not pouring Bailey's in my cereal," he told CNN.

Now, as newly named chief of staff to President-elect Donald Trump, Priebus has his work cut out for him.

Priebus will have a large say in hiring West Wing staff, and will "be in charge of day to day operations," he told Fox News on Monday morning. He'll also have the president-elect's ear as a top adviser.  .  .

If you're referring to this exchange @mountaineer ------

   How much of that $53.9M is going to his Legal Fees?  Asking for a Friend.

Whatever it takes is okay with us......

The "us" is Trump's supporters.  My apologies, I truly thought this was self-evident.
