    So he didn't call black kids "roaches" or anything.

    Did he? I didn’t see it. What I’m referring to is all the technical glitches I’ve heard about. A lot of that was twitter of course. But it’s an important thing. You want to put in the work to make sure everything goes off without a hitch.

    Well, plus people here said he was dull. Which I don’t really care about. Policy, the willingness to carry it through. And the competence to make it stick. And above all. No unforced errors.

    An unforced error means that you had a hand in creating it. It was unfortunate to be sure but there is no evidence of incompetence on the part of team DeSantis, and he shouldn't be unfairly docked any points because it happened.

    Not necessarily. I think for something like this Team DeSantis should have tested the system. Make sure everything works.

    Got a source for that? Just skeptical since Griffith donates bigly to Rs:

    Griffin in past years also donated about $1 million to campaign funds supporting the election of Mayor Rahm Emanuel, the Democrat who was Obama’s first chief of staff. Griffin was a donor and fundraiser for Obama’s 2008 run for the White House.

    We keep hearing this a lot from some here over and over "We need a fighter!' We need a fighter!" but yet they don't want to seem to recognize DeSantis as one.

    My contention once again is that Trump isn't the only proven fighter capable of taking it hard to the opposition in the ring.
    While I agree that Trump is not the only fighter, I wonder who is the better fighter. Trump has nothing to lose so there is nothing holding him back. DeSantis is young and has a full career ahead of him and I wonder if that would hold him back a little; knowing he may damage himself and his future If he fights too hard.

    From what I know now, I’d pick Trump but would be happy with DeSantis. Just need ANYONE who can stop the avalanche we see coming our way. The problem is, even with a strong president, can we effectively stop the insanity that has been instilled in the USA….world?

    Fair enough. My intentions in the post you quoted were to point out there is another capable choice that is often not given enough credit for being a fighter. Not necessarily referring to you but in a general sense.

    DeSantis has proven that he has the will and the heart of a fighter.

    Eventual viewers? I guess? I don't think I'm being nit-picky. Instead of everyone talking about what DeSantis said, they're talking about how glitchy it was.
    That would be 24.5m views.

    From what I have seen the MSM and Trump have been belittling it, but I have seen others say it was a short term issue that was fairly quickly solved.

    And now, the rest of the story...

    Apparently, in 2008 Griffin was 50-50 in his giving to D's and R's. After that, since 2012, 100% RED... but yeah, spin it how you want...


    Four years ago, Griffin bundled between $50,000 and $100,000 for Obama’s election effort. That ranked him among 560 elite fund-raisers who personally helped Obama pull in at least $50,000. (Notably, in 2008, Griffin also bundled between $50,000 and $100,000 for Obama’s GOP rival, Sen. John McCain.)

    I don't understand what makes anyone think that DeSantis is'nt capable of getting us back to a good place economically and militarily as well as Trump while fighting the bureaucratic admirative state and the cultural rot.

    We keep hearing this a lot from some here over and over "We need a fighter!' We need a fighter!" but yet they don't want to seem to recognize DeSantis as one.

    My contention once again is that Trump isn't the only proven fighter capable of taking it hard to the opposition in the ring.

    Because Trump doesn't give the slightest **** about doing things differently than how they've always been done.

    We spent a generation thinking about making the capitol of Israel Jerusalem, but we never did because we were so scared it'd start a world war. Trump just did it, no ****ing about at all. He does not care about the established norms and way of doing things. This is how we got out of NAFTA.

    I don't believe DeSantis will be that way.
