DeSantis Calls out Trump for Refusing to Sign RNC Debate Pledge – RedState

Former President Donald Trump has been wishy-washy at best about whether he’ll participate in the 2024 Republican National Committee-sponsored presidential debates. Toss in the question of whether Trump will again refuse to sign a pledge to support a nominee not him, as he did in 2016, and things get even more interesting. On Friday, Ron DeSantis kicked it up a notch or ten. As to refusing to participate in the debates, Trump’s argument has gone as follows. When you have a big lead, you don’t do it. And we have a lead of 50 and 60 points in some cases and some of these people are at zero. Ron DeSanctis, as I call him, or DeSanctimonious, is down to… He’s in the teens now and I’m at 50 and 60 and 65. And even I saw one today at 70. And so you’re leading people by 50 and 60 points and yo...

Does Trump’s Shutdown Decision Disqualify a Future Presidency? – RedState

So, I’m having a friendly debate with somebody about this “IF YOU GO AFTER ME, I’M COMING AFTER YOU!” post by Mr. Trump… My friend, a retired police officer, is a great guy, salt of the earth, etc. He thinks it’s an understandable representation of Trump’s frustration. And maybe it is. But the question remains, did Trump’s attorneys have the chance to see that post before he pushed “send”? Did anybody above the age of 14? Does anybody honestly think had his attorneys seen it, they’d have said, “Yes, Mr. President, we think that’s a really swell post; put that jazz up ASAP”? Does Donald Trump have a moral obligation to listen to his attorneys if they didn’t? Well, when you consider that his working-class supporters, through their small-dollar donations, are picking up his attorneys’ bills...

Ron DeSantis Breaks Ranks With MAGA Over Trump’s Stolen Election Claims – RedState

Well, he went and said it out loud. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis stated publicly that he does not believe former President Donald Trump’s claims that the 2020 presidential election was stolen. This issue has been a major sticking point on the right since the outcome was determined. DeSantis’ take on the matter won’t be well received by those of the MAGA persuasion, to say the least. But the question is, how will the governor’s stance affect his presidential campaign? Gov. DeSantis made the comments at a campaign event where he addressed reporters: Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida said that claims about the 2020 election being stolen were false, directly contradicting a central argument of former President Donald J. Trump and his supporters. The comments went further than Mr. DeSantis typicall...

Trump Campaign Pulls Strings to Ensure Primary Delegate Counts – RedState

The arcane elements of the election process can be interesting (at least, I find them interesting, since I’m one of those guys who watches elections like some guys watch sports.) In a recent move involving one such arcane element, the Trump campaign is pressuring several state Republican parties to change how they award delegates from primary elections. Former President Donald Trump’s campaign is quietly pressuring states to guarantee their delegation selection process will help his chances of winning the GOP nomination in 2024 and ensure their rules don’t favor his challengers, Politico reported Friday. The California GOP has chosen to award all of its delegates to the Republican candidate who wins over 50% of the vote in its primary, altering its earlier proposal to give a portion to...

Trump Signed My Girl’s Hand, Then the Left Attacked Me – RedState

It may become the most famous palm reading in Louisiana history after Amelia Grace Thompson asked her mother what President Donald J. Trump wrote on her right hand. Trump was on his way to a Metairie, Lousiana, fundraiser when he met with supporters Tuesday at the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport and signed the girl’s palm as she perched on her father’s shoulders. “Trump was incredibly nice,” said Amelia Grace’s mother, Hillary Thompson, in an exclusive RedState interview. She said it was not a rally or event, except for a chance for people to see him after he came down off his private Boeing 757 Trump Force One. “We go down there, and Trump ends up walking around to where we are, and we get to meet him,” she said. “He writes on her hand: ‘Hi!’ with an exclamation poin...

Trump Tells PA Rally as President, He Will Appoint ‘Real Special Prosecutor’ to Expose Bidens – RedState

One day after former President Donald Trump received a standing ovation before speaking at the Iowa Republican Party Lincoln Day Dinner event, he held a rally in Erie, Pennsylvania. During the speech, Trump set up the argument that instead of him being prosecuted, it should be President Joe Biden and his family, for corruption involving Ukraine and Hunter Biden‘s business dealings. He said “the gloves are off”: The Bidens got millions of dollars from Ukraine. Now Ukraine gets billions and billions of dollars from the American taxpayer. Joe Biden is compromised. […] He’s been paid off. He’s a corrupt president, and you know what? I would have never said that. I have too much respect for the office of the presidency, and I never said that. I can’t say great things about him because he’s ...

Trump Gets Standing Ovation at Iowa GOP Event, Lays out Why People Should Vote for Him – RedState

Former President Donald Trump was in Iowa on Friday, along with some of the other Republican candidates for president in 2024, at the Iowa GOP Lincoln Day Dinner event. Trump wrapped up the night, and several other candidates spoke before him. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis spoke out against Bidenomics and cracked a joke about the cocaine in the White House, indicating that it never would have happened, had he been in the White House. As we reported earlier, things didn’t go well for former Texas congressman and now almost unknown candidate, Will Hurd. He took a jab at Trump, saying Trump wasn’t running to make America Great Again, but to stay out of prison. Hurd treated the Iowa voters like they couldn’t deal with reality (as he saw it). Needless to say, that didn’t go over well. He was bo...

Team Trump Gives DeSantis the CNN Treatment in Deceptively Edited Video – RedState

The war between Team Trump and Team DeSantis has descended further into mudslinging and all kinds of stupidity. In this latest episode, those supporting former President Donald Trump began circulating a video in which Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis appears to buy into the idea that Russia’s interference in the 2016 election somehow caused Trump to win the race. The video, which was first shared by journalist Darren J. Beattie, was also shared by a slew of other pro-Trump social media influencers. In the video, DeSantis is shown commenting on the Russia interference issue during an interview on Fox News: What did Russia get out of this high stakes meeting? I don’t know what they got out of it. I think that Putin, if you look at the operation that they did with the spear phishing and the hack...
