Time for Us DeSantis Supporters to Rally Around Donald Trump
Kurt Schlichter

Now that Governor Ron DeSantis has dropped out of the race and endorsed Donald Trump, I have a message for all my fellow Ron DeSantis supporters about how to move forward after a bruising primary campaign where we came up short.

Get over it.

Losing sucks. But there’s a maxim among trial lawyers that applies equally to people involved in politics over the long haul, and that’s if you’ve never lost a case, you never try cases. I am immensely proud to have supported Ron DeSantis. We gave it our best shot. We had a great candidate who has a great future, and we gave as good as we got. But we got it hard. That’s because it was a primary. You are supposed to get hit hard. Politics ain’t beanbag. Politics is tough, and people are in it to win it. But now the primaries are done. Our guy has endorsed Donald Trump. Time to rub some dirt on our wounds, getback in the game, and bring home the big win for America.

Yes, I know there were some stupid people out there who said some stupid things. Stop caring about what stupid people say. In the long run, this will make you much happier. Every campaign has some dingbats. Every campaign has some weirdos. Dingbats and weirdos say stupid and ugly things. But there’s a secret weapon that defeats them. It’s called “indifference.” I don’t care what @FatMAGADeadbeatDad69 or any other human cartoon character says. I don’t care if they tweet about my mother or my dogs or tell me that my books are terrible. My mom wouldn’t care, nor do my dogs, and my books are awesome and best sellers. Insults and lame memes don’t matter to me. Don’t let them matter to you. And certainly don’t let them keep you from doing what you need to do.

Go ahead and grab your pom poms, Kurt. Trump has done nada to convince me that he’s learned from his disastrous 4th year.

Brothers, sisters, come on down to that river
Guaranteed you'll never be the same
There's a fountain flowing from the heart of the Savior
Bring your sins and all your guilty stains
Let that river of life wash it all away

Kurt could you just please STHU. Your punk cowboy swagger isn't going to convince me, your bullying isn't going to convince me, especially when Trump makes stupid statements like he just did on Taiwan.

He's not doing squat to earn any conservative's vote.

No, it's time for American voters to decide for themselves.  We don't need our choices spoon-fed to us like Joe Biden's afternoon Jell-O cup.

End of year voter data were published recently, and Florida has undergone a shift of 1,036,876 in favor of republicans since DeSantis was elected governor.  He gave conservatives everything they wanted, including a sanctuary state.

On the other hand, Trump has given numerous house seats, the senate, the white house, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Colorado to the democrats, and he is working on Arizona and Wisconsin.

Yes, losing sucks.  I wish more republicans agreed with that sentiment.

We also have or had members here that demand people vote for Trump

You can't demand votes. If a candidate and their supporters demand votes, that means they have nothing else to offer

I'll pass on Trump
I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

However I vote in November - for all the races on the ballot, not just president - will come only after much careful thought (and probably prayer, too!). That anyone would expect any of us to turn on a dime is rather short-sighted.

I don't know about November. But I have to vote in the New Hampshire primary tomorrow and there's no way I'm going for Haley.
"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

Nor have most of his supporters. They are in for a very rude awakening.
I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.
