      But De Santis did that and does it all the time. De Santis just does not base his entire campaign off of attacking Trump. We have bigger problems than political beef and De Santis focus more on the bigger enemy which is Biden and getting our country back together. No need to waste time on Donald Trump drama

    The simple fact is he's 30-40-50 points behind Trump in the polls. If he really wants to win he's got to go after him harder than he has! Only problem for him and the rest of the field is that Trump's biggest vulnerability, his legal issues, are somehow off limits for discussion, because I suppose if a candidate did that, like Christie, you alienate a big chunk of the MAGA wing. It's a real catch 22?

No one understands what it means and it starts with No. It's really a shame and just shows you need to have lots of money for a good campain these days, it's only about advertisement not who is the actually best candidate. Republicans should stick together and support someone like DeSantis who has actually got something to say, not like Trump and Ramaswamy who are doing it only for their own status. Democrats are going with Biden, which means they are very likely to loose, it would be the best moment to push someone like DeSantis as the main candidate, as even democratic voters would rather vote for someone like him than having Biden fall asleep on air for another few years.

No Taxation without representation, it is not official from Ron’s campaign, but to me is a perfect slogan for Ron for the following reasons: A) Represent the frustration that the American people feels in general when their elected officials say one thing in campaign and do the opposite, when they get elected, because DeSantis always keeps his promises it is perfect for him, because he is the only politician who can brags about being a biting dog not a barking dog. B). That was the slogan that he Patriots when they were fighting for the independence, because they didn’t want to have a king, they didn’t want a tyrant government, and in a primary where you have a man who is demanding to be treated as king, who doesn’t even want to debate, that slogan reminds us our roots who we are as Americans, the only country in the world which first president could be a king and refused to be one. C) The only way that this country could be united is coming back to our Constitutional principles, that people understand that the foundation and the glue that keeps all together is the Constitution, that slogan gives him the opportunity to educate the American people about our Constitution, why is so important. In the CNN town hall meeting, they asked Ron about his limitations as president. He explained the article 2 of the Constitution, if you read the comments on that video, people in general are so ignorant about Civics that they didn’t realize that Rin answer the question. In Florida he had it the advantage that we know his work, how amazing and brave he is, but the rest of the country doesn’t know, that it is why I think he needs a slogan who brings him the talking points to explain why he is by far the best candidate in the race. Sorry for my long comment, I hope you can read it , before will be deleted.

      @@norarohan6288 I suspect he is ahead of Trump. I don't believe polls. I became wise to the skewing of the polls a long time ago. However, if he's not ahead of Trump, it's only because too many people have been mesmerized by Trump and they are literally in a cult, and can't think for themselves anymore. I've actually never seen anything like this in my life before. So many people literally just repeating the same lines of adoration over and over again for Trump. They are literally in some sort of hypnotic state. I just hope the numbers are not as big as they want us to think. I know there is a core group that go to all his rallies, etc., but most Americans can't stand Trump. They would even vote for Biden again just to NOT vote for Trump. That's how much they hate him. I hear that from people all the time.
      The only sane, level headed, and very qualified candidate is DeSantis. He knows the Constitution, and Trump has probably never even read it. DeSantis knows the laws of this land, he knows how the legislative process works, and he knows how to work with the Congress. Trump is a total ignoramus. I saw that in his first term. He's nothing but a big buffoon, and the establishment totally played him like a fiddle. They'll just do the same thing again.
      He's even planning on building "cities". Is anyone familiar with the term "15-minute cities"? That's what he's talking about. That is total control of the people.
      He's also talking about building a big new fancy building in DC for the FBI? Does that not ring any alarm bells for you? The FBI is one of the most corrupt agencies, and should MOVE OUT OF DC!!! or better yet, DISBANDED and built from the ground up again.
      Trump has also been considering Nikki Haley for VP. His own son Don Jr. came out and said he would not let that happen. Does none of that show you that something is just not adding up with Trump? He's either VERY STUPID, or he's VERY CORRUPT! You can decide which.

      You are wasting your vote. Trump can't win. Time to move on. I am for Vivek. A young man that is brilliant, well spoken, energetic and constitutionally educated!!

      I don't think it is wasting a vote. America clearly still wants Trump based solely off of the numbers and support. Vivek is great and will serve an important role over the next 12 years however, he will not win this time around.@@toddsalkowski448
