What’s sum funny Biden is your reaction whenever someone says DeSantis is a conservative. But you never challenge the conservative credentials of Ron DeSantis

@LMAO

Why should  I when he does this himself all the time.

The SOB is a poser and an opportunist with no loyalty to anyone or anything but himself.

Your hatred of Trump blinds you to this.

What you ARE missing @sneakypete is that DeSantis IS a true conservative. Anti-war? Well, I'd definitely much rather have peace than war.  Ok, yes we need to defend OUR country, but who's defending it?  We have millions of ILLEGALS entering this country. 

As for Cruz, yes he is brilliant.  There is no doubt about it. He went up against Trump in '16 and lost (obviously), but he  also withstood Trump's lies and slandering against him and his family.  Yet, when Trump became president he backed him when he thought he was right.  He urged Trump to build the wall while he had a full majority and Trump ignored him ... we all now know that Cruz was right about that and Trump FAILED to build the wall.

Now Cruz is backing Trump who is NOT a conservative rather than backing a conservative. I find that troubling.  I see that as Cruz softening his conservative backbone; not a good thing.

I don't have the same viewpoint on Trump as I once did.  I now see him as failing to keep his promises, dictatorial, narcissistic, a populist at best and bent on retribution rather than focused on MAGA.  He FAILED on calming the riots when he had a chance and things are still out of hand, he FAILED to build the wall and things are still out of hand.  He FAILED to implement policies as most of his e.o.'s went out the window.  Here we sit.  Secondly, he slandered conservatives and conservatism.  No thank you.  I will NOT vote for him.

I thank  you for the reply,but I disagree with  practically everything  you wrote.

So you define conservatism as loyalty to Trump?

And ask Donald Trump’s past wives about loyalty

Funny how obsessed you are with RDS, when little or no vitriol is aimed at Nikki Haley.  Don't you think that basically shoots down. any of the little of the credibilty you have left.

We are laughing at you.

Possibly, except most of the candidate that Trump has endorsed lately have lost. 

@libertybele

Including DeSanctimonious.

I posted the stats in another post regarding the Iowa caucus and more younger people voted for DeSantis than Trump.  Let that sink in.

Yet DeSanctimonious lost.

His post illustrates exactly what I was talking about in another thread about congressman Bob Good

MAGA is more about an allegiance to a man than an ideological movement. Look at how they’re going after any Republican that doesn’t show proper allegiance to Donald Trump.

So,he was ok in your book,right up to the moment that he gave his support to Trump,and now you are done with him?

Trump just lives rent-free inside your head 24/7,doesn't he?

@sneakypete

No... I ain't done with Cruz yet. Just damn-near done. And his signature on all those porkulous bills drove whatever respect I had for him away. As I said, I might could still be talked into voting for him, but it would take a helluva lot of talking. After kissing the ass of a guy that did what Tump did to his family, and damn near did to his career, and THEN signing all that money... There ain't much left of the Cruz I knew.

And what he lost is almost impossible to retrieve.

Ditto. The leftists are never going to let him near the WH again, regardless of what it takes for them to accomplish that.

@libertybele

I want to take this opportunity to take note that you and all the other "Ah hates Orange Man!" people
contributed to that.

You must be VERY proud of helping Slow Joe or whoever replaces him control the WH after the next election!

Do you realize that if you compare the planks, the dim one (Pedo Joe) is less costly than Trump's estimated $15T for construction of Freedom Cities and Bonus Babies? 

Tumpy would still be my preference for other reasons, but give me one reason why we should endorse Trump to spend us addtionally into oblivion?  i'd rather not be complicit in this disaster.

I’m 58

And I don’t know if you know this or not, but Trump is running for president so he’s going to be a topic of conversation

You said that Ron DeSantis was not a conservative because he wasn’t loyal to Trump

And your last sentence about saving America is exactly the point I’m making when it comes to Donald Trump and his supporters. Was America saved from 2017 to 2021?

  Loyalty to a man is not going to save the country, however  that’s defined

Trump is probably not serious about those freedom cities and that breeding money. All that would have to go through Congress and there’s nowhere near enough people in Congress that are insane enough to go along with it.

He’s throwing things out there that he thinks the supporters want to hear without any regard to practicality, cost, or just the shear  ridiculousness of them

OK,how about YOU tell us who the PERFECT candidate would be from YOUR POV,and explain to us why he or she isn't running?

Politics,like life,ain't perfect,and neither is ANY politician.

Or voter,AFATG.

Other than me,that is.

@sneakypete

Why, Ron DeSantis, of course. He fills every Conservative checkbox. Every one. My disagreements with his policy are incidental and can be waived away. His record is immaculate. His family life extraordinary.  Every_single_thing says he is a good man.

But y'all would rather have the degenerate liberal from NYC.

Not that that is anything new, Very normally there is a Conservative to vote for, with idiot populist Republicans ALWAYS voting for the shiny thing.

DeSantis lost, but it still doesn't negate the fact that our youth of voting age, voted for him rather than Trump.  That speaks volumes. I find it refreshing that our youth voted for a conservative over an unhinged populist.

Exactly.  The concept of fiscal restraint by legislators is dead.  They don't even pretend anymore who provides them the tax dollars to waste.

It would be nice if sneakyPete would add something to his arguments instead of strawman and lashing out other members

He laughs at the idea of Ron DeSantis being a conservative. Ron DeSantis is a conservative. Whether or not you support him doesn’t change that fact. Chip Roy is a conservative. Just because he didn’t endorse Donald Trump does not mean that he does not have conservative credentials. Both men are even more conservative than I am  on the social issues.

When I asked him why he doesn’t think Ron DeSantis is a conservative, and if it just means loyalty to Trump, the only reply I got was to ask me my age.

And that illustrates perfectly the problem Trump supporters have. I know there’s a lot of people who are going to vote for Donald Trump that my description doesn’t apply .

But there are too many of them that it does
