Trump Takes Back Seat To DeSantis In New GOP Focus Group

[josiearchambault]

I LOVE IT!! I HOPE TRUMP IS CRYING!!! THE WORST PART IS THAT DESANTIS IS A MINI TRUMP!!! THEY BOTH NEED TO

[D.A.OhK.]

Can't wait to see a debate stage with Trump, Liz, DeSantis, Pence and the My Pillow Guy.

It was clear that Chaney's role in the J6 hearings put her political career in jeopardy. Yet, she played her part despite the backlash she would get from WY voters who unanimously checked the box for her opponent. This makes Chaney a true patriot in every sense of the word.

The focus group is based in Florida!! Literally where DeSantis is governor.

[Lostinamomentillnevergetback]

Nothing frightens me more than the idea of Ron DeSantis, Kristi Noem, or Mike Pompeo becoming president. TRUMP But in a different body suit

[monian]

"raising a ton of money from the search warrant "- seriously! these people's action just cannot be rationalised! just cannot be dumber than that!

[rmm]

This is according to polls favorable to this story. In 2016 there was no way Trump was going to prevail. Trust these polls at your own risk, just get to the polls and vote.

[erykaton]

All of the candidates these Republicans back are detestable. Yuck!

[raybar]

DeSantis is a polished version of the traitor trump..

[angrytater]

Trump hates this. I can imagine him fuming and throwing food at the wall like an infant. It's glorious.

[lamiagumbo]

They went from one wannabe despot to another. Not surprising

[shahnulislam]

Yeah all about winning not about morals for republichickens

[jamesmason]

I'm torn. On the one hand, I would LOVE to see Trump in jail. On the other? I love how he's created a fundamental political problem for the GOP. They need to remain outwardly loyal - but he's a huge burden and drives turn out among Democrats at least as much as Republicans.

[rgwak]

Good luck getting rid of him, republicans! Looking forward to him undermining any attempt to move on. 😂🤣

[kamaboko]

Republican's for the Rule of Law? Surely that is a joke, right?

[joerogain]

"I just wanna find 11, 780 votes." Donald tRump Quote

[susanhewitt]

It's hard to believe that they are STILL talking about Trump being a candidate in 2024!🤣 I think he's gonna be a lil busy!

[eh]

It is quite funny that Trump will be older in 2024 than Biden was when Trump said he was too old to run for President.

[thisistheaccountname]

If Trump and Ted Bundy got together and had a child, that child would be Ron DeSantis.

Some people in New York don't want him in the back seat they want him in the trunk.
