Without election reform, the game is over. It’s not a critical issue, its the only issue.

DeSantis’ Problem Isn’t Trump, It’s That Dems Rigged The Last Election

How can GOP candidates admit that 2020 was rigged against Trump voters, and then ask those voters to abandon Trump?

By: John Daniel Davidson, The Federalist, July 13, 2023:

ou might have noticed a media narrative taking shape the last few days about how Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ presidential campaign has “stalled.” A Politico Playbook item over the weekend described it as a “failure to launch,” noting that polling for DeSantis peaked in January at 40.5 percent and has since settled in the low 20s amid a barrage of attacks from former President Donald Trump.

Playbook also cited other news outlets recently casting doubt on the DeSantis operation, from fundraising struggles to lack of endorsements to difficulties distinguishing himself from Trump on policy. DeSantis super PAC official Steve Cortes added fuel to the narrative fire in an interview Sunday night, bemoaning the polls and admitting, “clearly Donald Trump is the runaway frontrunner.” One could of course object that it’s only July, that polls don’t mean much this far out from the primaries, and that corporate media want nothing more than to push a DeSantis-is-stalled narrative whether it’s true or not, because they hate and fear him just as they hate and fear Trump.

But maybe there’s something else going on here. If enthusiasm for DeSantis seems lacking, maybe it has little or nothing to do with DeSantis or his campaign. Perhaps what we’re seeing is less about him and still less about 2024 or the upcoming GOP primary scrum, and more about what happened in 2020. Put bluntly, maybe what we’re seeing now is an early sign that what Democrats, Big Tech, and corporate media did in 2020 was inject poison into our political system, and the 2024 election cycle is going to show us just how deadly that poison is.

Recall that 2020 was unlike any election in American history. One need not declare that it was “stolen” to admit that it was obviously rigged. After all, the people and institutions that rigged it have freely admitted what they did. They suppressed the Hunter Biden laptop story, censored what Americans could say on social media, introduced unprecedented changes to our voting system under the pretext of pandemic precautions, and poured hundreds of millions of dollars into putatively nonpartisan local election offices through Mark Zuckerberg-connected nonprofits for the sole purpose of turning out Democrat voters in swing states.

Nothing like that has ever happened in American history. And it was all done for the singular purpose of ensuring that Trump would not serve a second term. What’s more, all of that came after four years of the permanent regime in Washington discarding every political norm, bending every rule, and breaking more than a few laws in a failed effort to oust Trump from office during his first term.

It can still be undone and Trump returned to his rightful place and those who cheated can be punished. The obama proxy biden and all who cheated and abetted it are traitors which is a capital offense. As obama was not born in the U.S.A. all that he did in his phony presidency must also be undone. Free the Jan. 6 political prisoners and fine those who put them there in their place and fine them billions to compensate the patriots confined in DC. Personally, I would like to look into Pence’s role in this fiasco as well as he could have looked into it but did not.

“It can still be undone…”
Deram on.
When has anything been undone?
Now that the Democrats have fully populated the non elected offices and departments and committees, it will be virtually impossible to “undo” anything if by undoing you mean to restor DJT as POTUS.
And as for DJT and Pence, the fact that he chose Pence (and also Cristopher Wray BTW) is testimony of DJT’s poor ability to judge character. He clearly cannot read people and was never serious about draining the swamp. If he were he would have gotten rid of the biggest swamp creature of all, Fauci who has been at NIH since 1967 or 68 – over 50 years!

The progressive, commie, demoncraps, will always keep denying that the election was rigged. See it happen everyday on yahoo news and the rest of the corrupt liberal media.

The GOP internalized an unwritten rule:
Democrats challenge every Republican victory but Republicans cannot do the same, they get the criminal, insurrection treatment
Democrats still think Gore won in 2000 and aren’t called rebels for it. Then there’s the Russia hoax for which nobody went to prison while J6-ers were hunted down like foxes and anyone even mildly challenging Biden’s 80M score were cancelled, removed from TV, or even prosecuted.
This submission was pushed down onto the party support base that cowered in silence but like in a totalitarian state kept its beliefs private and secret.
Now those beliefs have strengthened and are reflecting in the primary race.
This is the base’s silent protest or silent communication.
DeSantis should have known this because he actually made the changes to Florida’s elections in an attempt to avoid some of the mess 2020 came to be known for, but kept the official GOP line so to avoid being called names by the media and the country club GOP.
Rigged is not stolen and that distinction has been lost on too many.
People were brow beaten into accepting that 2020 was Kosher in every way, and that it was the most secure and fair election in US history. “Conservatives” were here on FB threatening to block people who questioned 2020 and some even went as far as questioning others for their stance as if we were already in the USSR.
Human nature is evasive so people just kept their opinions to themselves or among close friends and even possibly lied to pollsters. Today, the cat is out of the bag, the Twitter files, the whistle blowers, the FBI hearings, all point to a messed up election in 2020 and those who argue that legal appeals haven’t produced “proof” forget that the Democrats also caused the Justice System to be questioned by Americans as they wielded it against grandmas and Trump in an in your face Soviet/ Chinese style to intimidate others from challenging the Biden regime, or more specifically, the Fundamental Transformation of America promised by Obama.
The USA thus entered into the Sharansky model as the population broke down along the proportions and ways the famous Soviet dissident laid out in his writings describing population behavior in Soviet style totalitarian states.
Into this jungle enter the GOP challengers to Trump for 24.
This is the state of play and at this point it is early to tell the final results but what we do know is that the DeSantis Campaign is at a stage where only an external removal of Trump could propel him into first place. And people see that. Because it is obvious.
That puts the otherwise fantastic governor into a terrible place as he becomes the vulture circling Trump and his indictments and arrests, which he needs to benefit from to be successful.
People know this because this too is obvious.
– Not helped by some of his supporters cheering on the deranged Stalinist persecution of Trump and his allies.
This also keeps him in the race as there needs to be a good runner should the fascists succeed in eliminating Trump.
Thus DeSantis becomes the spare.
Can he still have a chance beyond a Putin style removal of Trump from the race?
Sure, Trump can still self-destruct and cause himself damage he couldn’t climb out of. This is less likely now than it was in 2016 because by now he grew a lot and seems to be much more strategic and disciplined than last time.
DeSantis is clearly the second best, he’s a great dude and I always liked him but in my humble view his political capitol would have been much higher in 2028 so now he relies too much on the “party” and the elite that funds him. He lacks independence which is reflected in some of his flip flops and his chasing of issues in the culture war reflecting the old GOP MO of selling morality, virtue, Christianity, etc… Not the winning formula anymore, and not one DeSantis ran on to be Governor twice. Which is why that message is not sticking as much as it isn’t really his message but the GOP elite’s and the donors’ .

In 2016 the Dems, including Jamie Raskin, cried that the election was stolen but no one seems to remember that.

Actually what happened was that a majority of the US electorate looked at Trump and said no thanks.
