DeSantis Makes 'Listless Vessels' Comment That Sends Team Trump Into Orbit

[sneakypete]

How so?  It sounds spot on accurate to me.

No surprise there.

How else to explain supporting Big Government policies, reckless spending, Swamp backing Trump while pending to back Conservative ideals?  It isn't rational.

What isn't  rational is you and your bubbas.

But....,you just keep voting for the same old Party People over and over while hoping for change if that's what flips  your skirts.

[corbe]

This guy is nothing but a stalking horse for the orange felon.  The RNC needs to remove some of these ass kissers and let them have a VP debate.  If DeSantis is going to defend Trump he can be included in that list.

DeSantis wasn't dissing Trump supporters. He was speaking to all Republicans, in essence saying we shouldn't take all our cues from what we see on social media. But if the shoe fits, I guess ...

Then he shouldn't have named Truth Social. An amorphous reference would have been better.

@sneakypete
Change for change's sake is irrational. Especially when that change is toward big government.

As is your accusation, when every one of these 'bubbas' are small government minded and that to a TEA.
TEA Party is actual change, and real reform. And y'all are on the wrong side of that.

As far from that as possible. Diametrically opposed to that, in the change you endorse.

I do think it was an aimed shot, and the Truth Social reference was not an accident.  Again, not at all Trump supporters.  Just those who have gotten to the point where they support whatever he says.

How is DeSantis any more of a "party person than is, say , Ted Cruz?

[Hoodat]

Here's your Party person, along with his Party chief-of-staff.



The hypocrisy never ends with Trump zealots.  Trump has been in bed with the GOP Swamp ever since he saved Mitch McConnell from being primaried.  He appoints the head of that Swamp to run his cabinet.  Yet his supporters accuse us of being party hacks?  Stop lying already.

So let's vote for the same guy that failed the last time.

Y'all have ZERO room to accuse anyone of following the same ol' same ol' when you're literally voting for the same ol' same ol' for the third election in a row.

[jmyrlefuller]

Stop trying to change the topic of this thread @corbe   I understand your panic is pushing you to do so, but please resist it.

Oh, so we're implying others' motives now? OK, paid operative. I will again ask you to reveal who's paying you to do this.

In the meantime, your temper tantrum is only proving DeSantis right.

@Maj. Bill Martin

Given they are technically both  "career party creatures",technically,there isn't any differences.

Cruz IS an established political figure though,and we all pretty much know where he stands on most of the issues important to us.

He is also "scary smart" and not someone the other pols want to piss off and be forced to debate.

I confess to actually being a Ted Cruz fan,but there SEEMS to be something in his background that keeps him from making a serious run for the WH. Don't know for sure what it is,and don't really care because he is doing us all a service by doing what he is doing as a US Senator.

Lame. Trump severed a total of 4 years in elective office out of 70+ years of life.

Your jealousy just knows no bounds,does it?

Hi @sneakypete   How are you feeling?  Resting up??  4-6 weeks of taking it easy is important.  Please try not to get yourself worked up. It raises your heart rate.  (Yep, I'm a mother hen).

A ship without a rudder.  Aimless, on Swamp autopilot, blaming everyone else when the ship does not reach its destination.

For those on such a ship, does the destination really matter? Just ride the next current that takes the ship wherever it happens to lead. Perhaps being on the ship is the point, not the destination?

How is that different from DeSantis?  Granted, Cruz has been a politician for longer than has DeSantis, but you seem to consider that a negative rather than a positive.

It's Trump.  Cruz obviously wouldn't want to put himself and his wife/family through the public insults and degradation they had to endure from Trump in the 2016 campaign.

I understand that you like Cruz - I do as well and voted for him in the 2016 primaries.  But what I don't quite understand is that he is everything that you hate and compln about here as being the worst people to have in government: he is an Ivy League lawyer and a (mostly) career politician/political appointee.  If DeSantis is "the same old thing", then Cruz is even more so.  In terms of policies they've supported, neither is more or less conservative than the other.


 
So I don't quite get the hatred towards the one, but an acknowledgement that he'd be a good President to the other

I think you nailed it.  They've invested so much hope in Trump because they love the way that he said things.  Giving up on Trump is giving up on their hope, so they ignore all the negative things he says and does because they want to keep that feeling of hope alive.

They'd rather go down with the ship than admit they were wrong about him.

Would you prefer to talk about the 48 years that Trump voted Dem?

Thanks!

Today is a little better than yesterday. Actually made it down to the shopping center to feed the stray cats today. My ex has been doing this for me for the last week or so.

Been sleeping like a clubbed baby seal.

Go to see my regular heart doc on Tuesday,IIRC. Was seeing him a long time before the heart attack last week.

Trump and the GOP Establishment.
