  Hopefully, he won’t have this “headache” to worry about then.  Hopefully, he would be in an orange or stripped jumpsuit by then.
context: "Ron 'Stupid Doodoo Head' DeSantis," and the Republican voters go, "Well we can't vote for a Doodoo Head" and that's that. >
  
  Saddest part is this is spot on. >
  
  The saddest part is that it worked and got him elected- and is now a model some in the fascist conservative line are following.
  What scumbags do for money, and no law can stop them. >
  
  Exactly. Trump created the mold, but Republicans will move on to someone just as shitty as long as they are "winning". Trump knows he is in trouble since he lost that edge. He still has a chance for the moment, but he's never really been a winner.
  Personally I want him to stay in the game as long as possible. There is more chance of infighting if he still has a sizable base that thinks he can win in 2024. >
  
  I actually enjoyed the 15 rounds of voting McCarthy took to get himself elected speaker. Or specifically, I enjoyed the Republican infighting. >
  
  I didn't.  Because now, you have fucksticks like MTG, Boebert, Gaetz, and others that are literally where the power lies in the Republican party.  People who can't be trusted around minors, kitchens, or searching on the internet themselves are now the ones who are the power base for the GOP. >

  True. For short time it was fun, for the long run its much harder to get rid of all these assholes now. >
  
  Nope just two year to start, or less than a box of ammo(sarcasm for those upset) >
  
  Genuinely easy to forget that Trump is already a Presidential candidate. >
  
  I love the fact that the response to his announcing his 2024 run was a collective yawn. I can imagine his tiny little fists clenched in anger. >
  
  And his fast food thrown at the wall >
  
  Hamberders you say? >
  
  He only orders sliders to make his hands seem bigger >
  
  Ineptly and then blame someone else. >
  
  "Poorly"
  Seriously, though, the most charitable reading of the statement is that he has no idea how he will handle that at the time but started the sentence before he knew how it would end. >
  
  What do you mean he doesn't know?
  Can't you remember how often he said he is an expert in every field imaginable? >
  
  His uncle! Very smart man. Some say the most geniusest man ever. No one has ever seen anyone smarter before. Told him he was right up there with Einstein. >
  
  Read that as Epstein, and it somehow still made sense >
  
  I remember the stories about his beauty pageants.

  Trump today on Desantis: “I got him elected, pure and simple. And there was no reason to go wild about endorsing him .. So, now I hear he might want to run against me. So, we’ll handle that the way I handle things.” >
  
  By losing >
  
  “Get in, Loser, we’re going losing” >
  
  Trump will handle it by lying, cheating and stealing. But hopefully by the time the campaigns go into full swing Trump will be indicted on at least one off the many crimes he has committed before, during and after he was president . >
  
  Gonna be honest, as a Floridian I hope the charges are held back just long enough to split the MAGA and DeSantis votes hard enough to sabotage the Republicans. Trump 100% will not sit out this election even if he fails to secure the nomination, and DeSantis is too high of a risk to go unchecked. Trump running 3rd party, at almost any level of support from his diehards, will deny DeSantis the presidency entirely.
  This has the added benefit of getting DeSantis out of office 2 years early. >
  
  
  This has the added benefit of getting DeSantis out of office 2 years early.
  
  He doesn't have to give up the governorship to run; only if he wins.
  And last time I looked, he was trying to get a law passed so that he can be governor and president at the same time, so maybe not even then. >
  
  actually?? do you have a source for this? that is extremely troubling if true >
  
  Looking into this, it looks like it's a little weirder, less severe, and somehow even more partisan than the earlier headlines I had read.
  Florida has a law that says if you run for office while holding office, you have to resign from your current office at the start of that new term, even if you don't win.  That way, the appropriate changeovers and such can be put into place.  It's had this law for a long time.
  Except, back in 2008, they abolished that law so that (then Republican governor) Charlie Christ could run for vice president without giving up the governorship.
  Then after the race, the (GOP) Florida legislature re-enacted that law.
  Now that, once again, they have another Republican going for high office, they want to revoke that law again.  No doubt temporarily.  Because rules for thee, not for me.
  Sorry for the confusion; that's on me for having only read the initial headlines and not followed up until now. >
  
  got it. what's even the point of the law then if they temporarily remove it in situations where it applies? might as well permanently abolish it without putting on the appearance >
  
  
  what's even the point of the law then if they temporarily remove it in situations where it applies?
  
  The Florida legislature is now one of the most badly gerrymandered in the nation.  The governor's election prior to this one was decided by less than half a percent, but the gerrymandering means that the GOP control of the legislature is secure even if they lose the governorship.
  By leaving it a law, but overriding it each time, they can make it a law that prevents potential democratic governors from running, but which represents no impediment to GOP governors. >
  
  thanks for the explanation. love that. >
  
  Go broke, fail, and then spend years throwing temper tantrums about how it wasn’t his fault? >

  So basically someone around him will be indicted and go to jail. Or another 12 investigations and a big waste of resources because he handles things like a criminal of which he is. >
  
  He tried to violently overthrow the government and they’re just gonna let him run again. 
  Let’s just normalize that then. >
  
  I hope he tries to overthrow the Republican Party this time around. >

  So a blitz of cheeseburgers, schoolyard nicknames, cheap taped together suits, pathetic intimidation 'techniques' that havent worked on anyone over age 10 since the 80s, and massive corruption - as usual from the orange ghoul of floridian swamp magalogo tm >
  
  
  pathetic intimidation 'techniques' that havent worked on anyone over age 10 since the 80s,
  
  Look, I think it's silly, too, but are we just pretending these techniques didn't partly vault him to the presidency and a cult-like following that that violently assaulted DC in an attempt to overturn the election? >
  
  Did Trump just threaten to pay Ron DeSantis for sex? >
  
  Trump always sounds like the shitty 1980’s mob boss he thinks he is. >

  Already came up with DeSanctimonious, not up to his usual standards. >
  
  Mostly because it uses a word his base won’t understand. >
  
  I feel that's a word Trump himself doesn't understand. >
  
  Yep - feels like it was brainstormed by his aides. >
  
  So basically fuck everything up, set it all on fire, profit as much as possible and walk away and blame everyone else but himself. >
  
  Ge talks like he's a mob boss. All he is in charge of is a group of mentally ill hillbillies. >

  You were going to say, "white boots" right? >

  With more documents hidden in the coffin. >
  
  That should be fun to watch.  A good old fashioned southern political cock fight!  Yeah! >
  
  Trump is a yankee from Long Island.  His popularity with Southerners is baffling.
  Edit - Queens.  Thanks for the correction, below. >
  
  Nearly everything about him is baffling.  He should have been in jail years ago for any number of crimes in the business and political realms.  Yet, he still waddles about among us.  Just damn odd. >
  
  Money. If you have it you are immune to most legal systems. 
  Even if you don't HAVE money anymore, as long as you've embedded yourself in that system of the 1% you'll always be nearly untouchable.
  Trump is a horrible businessman, but he's very good at pretending he's awesome. Pretending he has money. Pretending he's smart.  
  Apparently, that's all you need to be 'successful' in business. >
  
  Throwing a tantrum and then threatening him with blackmail of some kind. >

  Name calling, immaturity, being an asshole, and general embarrassing incompetence. >

  Doesn’t trump live in Florida? Doesn’t maralago’s continued existence as a place of business depend on the cooperation of the Florida state government? Isn’t it possible that Florida might be pressured to extradite trump to face legal issues in Georgia at some point? With desantis retaliating against Disney for the slightest political pushback, I don’t see how  Trump holds very many cards against desantis.   
  Also Florida, why do you treat yourself this way? Two despotic morons with insatiable political ambition, and no sense or system of moral or ethical restraint, and you’re cool with them, well squatting in trump’s case, and governing in desantis’. Look I know it can feel powerful or secure to be taken under the wing of a dragon, but it’s a goddamn dragon, and you’re gonna get eaten at its convenience. You don’t have to choose this system of abuse. >
  
  So...poorly? >
  
  Que up the investigation, then. >
  
  By grabbing? >
  
  He’s going to stiff him on a lawyer/construction/casino/steak/university/vodka bill? >
  
  As usual he’ll sample social media looking for something crazy negative and incorrect but has a certain ring to it and run with that. >
  
  DeSantis suddenly falls down a large flight of stairs. >
  
  We’re talking about Trump, not Clinton >
  
  Fat blowhard says he has INFO on everyone.
  I took that as a shot across the bow of DeSantis and I actually believe fat blowhard on this one. >
  
  What do you think he was doing in office for four years…probably gathering intel on his rivals, political and non political. He had access to CIA, FBI, DHS, SS, and more. He probably threw those govt top secret files out to make room for the new stacks of blackmail material he intends on using. >
  
  “DeSantis is gonna go tru some tings. “ >

  Got it. So he plans to fuck it up >
  
  So he’s going to grab DeSantis by the pussy then pay him to spank his with a magazine ? >
  
  Trump was a man for his time, he capitalized on the racist, stupid, mean streak that came out as a backlash against Obama and really that was what he had going for him, the promise to his base to be nothing like Obama, and they are it up like it was ambrosia.  
  But that was all he could offer, racist, stupid, meanness; it was also something that the left had to stomach that their country was, and it galvanized the left to pick anyone other than Trump.
  Now Trump is trying to recapture his former glory and the moment has passed him by.  He's still as racist, stupid and mean as ever but his party saw that his flavor of conservativism doesn't appeal to independents and he literally caused a trend that has held in modern politics to be nearly completely bucked in the midterms with the House being barely won by Republicans.  
  There are still his die-hard adherents but his messaging is now old-news, and people want something to believe in, what that is will be determined but one thing is for certain, 2023 will offer a vision into the climate trajectory 15 years or so down the road to give us an idea of just how fucked we are due to El Niño.  In addition to climate, the economic shuffle that is being done to keep all the plates spinning looks like it will finally manifest as the wealthy choose to put their wealth into savings to reap the rewards of high interest while they wait for the market to crash once capital dries up for new investment. 
  But Trump, he's a man out of time now, he had his moment and thankfully it seems to have passed.  Sadly DeSantis or Abbott seem to be the go-to's for the Republicans and both have nothing to offer except stupid, racist meanness, but with an Ivy league education. >

  Is Ron DeSantis going to get raped? >
  
  I hear four seasons is already booked. >
  
  It'll be all about how DeSantis came around begging Trump for help, 'oh please Mr President sir, can you help me the racist Marxists are over running our schools, please sir help me get reelected.' ad nauseum. >
  
  So I guess this means that he’s going to have Desantis whacked? >
  
  Which means he has shit on DeSantis >
  
  So name calling and blatant lies.

  This will be better than the super bowl. >
  
  I bet he handles this with "Crime" >

  Oh god, he’s gonna rape DeSantis >
  
  Sounds like the lead up to the funniest GOP sex scandal >
  
  I’ll take anything that might hurt DeSantis >
  
  So he's going to cry about it, blame fake news, say it's Russia and China (because he attacks people with the things he himself does), then demand the release of Desantis' e-mails? 
  Does that about sum it up? >
  
  Conspire with a foreign government to get dirt on him? >
  
  So he means lie, cheat, blackmail and violence. >
  
  A bruising primary and Trump undermining the victor if he doesn’t win. Hopefully, Trump will set up a third party so he can grift more and run some allies down the ticket and split the vote. >
  
  By lying, whining and being a victim? >
  
  Trump is gonna call Desantis names then cry he’s being treated unfairly and no ones ever had it as hard as him.
  Guaranteed. >

  Sooo middle school level name calling, no actual talk about policy, then claiming his opponent cheated while doing every shady thing he can to tilt things in his favor? >
  
  So...
  Come up with a stupid nickname and say mean things about his wife.
  Sounds solid. >
  
  So, blackmail? >
  
  Which means that DeSantis will be his VP - and that'll be an INCREDIBLY powerful ticket for the Conservative base.
  Trump gives him all of the power, like he offered Pence, which DeSantis will be fine with.
  Then DeSantis uses his incumbent boost to coast to the Presidency in 2028/2032. >
  
  "We'll handle that the way I handle things"
  Poorly? >
  
  So basically both men’s campaigns are doomed. >
  
  By losing?  Ok 🤷🏻‍♂️ >
  
  How I see this:
  Desantis gets the 2024 bid
  Trump runs as an independent
  Effectively splitting the Republican Party >
  
  This means ; accusing his opponent of crimes , lying about him, insulting him and his family, questioning the loyalty of republicans who support him, speculating about criminal measures against him, and making fun of him at rallies. >

  I think it might be fun to end all of his sentences with "from prison." >
  
  He’ll handle it by losing. That’s how he handles things. >
  
  With name calling, and temper tantrums? >
  
  He’s gonna handle it is code for: He’s gonna grab Ron Desantis by the pussy. >
  
  Lie cheat steal and call fraud.  Say he lies cheats and steals when you lose.  Then he loses. >
  
  He is going to file for bankruptcy?  Look at an eclipse?  stick toilet paper to his shoe?  Marry a younger underwear model?   Not sure how any of those things that he does will help. >
  
  By pouting, saying he cheated, calling him unamerican, saying his dad was pals with terrorists, his wife is a 3 or 4 tops, you wouldn’t believe what investigators are finding, he’s also not a conservative, eats babies, loves to throw hissy fits, wanted support- called begging for support. I never said he was a rapist, but that’s what a lot of people are saying. And then give out Ron’s private phone number. 
  It’s all in his book the art of the steal. >

  Yep. I think you nailed it. >
  
  So he’s going to whine on social media and shit his diaper? >
  
  Good, let the assholes rip each other apart.  Trump can't have much more life left in him, he might as well help finish off the Republican party on his way out. >
  
  1) Completely cock up the primary by grifting instead of campaigning.
  2) Lose horribly to DeSantis.
  3) Claim democrat election fraud ruined his chances, even though they would rather run against Trump than DeSantis. >

  "He says DeSantis has no personal charisma and has a dull personality," the source added.
  
  I actually agree with him here, it's the one thing I think could potentially sink DeSantis as he steps out from behind headlines as a national stage presence. >
  
  I can't believe everyone missed that Trump already started. 
  After DeSantis released his 'Messiah' video, Trump referred to him as DeSanctemonious. I detest Trump, but it WAS funny. >
  
  So, poorly then. >
  
  Handle it by losing and then whining? >
  
  I don’t think Trump can handle this the normal way he handles things
  DeSantis actually pays his goons and cronies >
  
  Do it, Donnie! Beat him up, destroy the party, and then run as an Independent! A winning strategy!! 😂 >
  
  Despise them both.  Torn between not wanting to see or hear them on the news during the election cycle and wanting to see the two lying egotistical dumbasses tear each other apart. And please, DeSantis is not intelligent he's highly manipulative. >
  
  
  the way I handle things
  
  So...by losing a fourth time? >
  
  By bitching and whining spouting bullshit hoping he’ll back down? >
  
  Illegally. >
  
  Trump could easily solve this dilemma by asking Ted Cruz why he handed Trump his balls. Then all Trump would have to do is repeat those steps. Now, I'm not doubting Cruz wouldn't tell him ,but I am doubting that Trump even remembers that Cruz was his opponent in the primary. Good part for Trump is that if he ever needs to find Cruz just look down. He's right there with Lindsey. >
  
  This would not necessarily work.
  It's really not that mysterious why Ted Cruz "handed Trump his balls".
  Few people are afraid of Trump.  They do not capitulate because of Trump, himself, nor what Trump did or could do.  What these GOP politicos fear is the Republican electorate and more specifically those Republican voters in their own voting district who could easily primary them out of a career.
  If Trump holds such sway with the Republican electorate such that he can back a challenger in a Republican primary then there is a real job security risk here should these folk maintain a firm opposition to Trump.  This is why so very, very few people continued to oppose Trump.  Very few politicians value country over party or even party over their own career.  And extremely few really have any basic morality or principles which they would cling to and use to denounce Trump.
  But... this fear only is valid as long as Trump truly is favored by the rank-and-file GOP voter.
  The recent elections have shown that Trump has an astoundingly poor track record of his chosen actually winning elections, especially general elections.  Furthermore, the fact we're even having this discussion is indicative that quite a few people are rather willing to move on from Trump and seek alternatives.
  Even Cruz will jump off the Trump bandwagon once it's truly clear there's no risk of doing so. >
  
  That gqp electorate does what trump tells them which scares gqp “leaders” as they saw what happened to cheney, kinzinger, etc. who lost their primaries decisively. >
  
  Basically he’s saying I’ll lie about this man till I go to my grave. I will do anything to ruin his life and ruin his wife and kids lives. I’m a worthless piece of shit who has the mentality of a 14 year old mean girl >

  insult his wife? >
  
  Kompromat >
  
  By getting less votes than him but hoping your votes count more? >
  
  I love how there are a jillion perfect responses to this headline. We all know how Trump handles crap now. >
  
  Yes, eat each other! >
  
  Why is trump trying so hard to be a sopranos character >
  
  Does anyone remember the vague threat trump made about having dirt on Ron? Anything else come from that or is he holding that in his back pocket for now? >
  
  Anyone else think that because of trump, every president we have for the next 2 generations will say, "at least he's not as bad a trump?" I shutter at that thought. >
  
  You mean, poorly? >
  
  So he’s gonna do nothing and take credit for everything >
  
  Most of the Republican base wants DeSantis. Trump is silly (duh) for thinking he's got a serious shot at beating Ron in the primaries.
  I'll go out on a limb and say Trump won't even show up to the debates. He just wants to hold rallies and sell merch. Honestly, if Trump hosted a rally for DeSantis to sell merch and just rile people up, it'd be a net positive overall. >
  
  Stochastic terrorism, intimidation, and ad hominem attacks....so DeSantis can get a taste of his own medicine >
  
  Get ready folks. The ketchup is about to hit the fan. >

  By namecalling and lying? >
  
  By losing? >
  
  With the governor's mansion in Florida being stormed?
  Trump will make the GOP his public enemy number 1 if he loses to Desantis. People forget he said Yes Cruz must've cheated to beat him in the Iowa caucus >
  
  Hopefully they both do run lol >
  
  He’ll flounce around performing the same stale old cabaret act that he performs nightly at Marafago. >
  
  So, he won’t handle it at all and will panic at the last minute and blame everybody else when it goes south for him. Got it. >
  
  DeSantis locking all his windows very tight and giving up tea for lent >
  
  Trumps cronies will make DeSantis “an offer he can’t refuse “ >
  
  What? Lie and cheat?! >
  
  
  we'll handle this the way I handle things?

  Dude I swear they pick the most brain dead ppl to run on the GOP side. Like just call it a popularity contest at this point. >
  
  The way he handles things- lies and chaos. >
  
  So basically Trump will commit more fraud? >
  
  ... poorly >
  
  It’s truly the nightmare we were all talking about in 2020. Trump is going to run again. I don’t know if we’ve made progress. Sigh. I think they’re both as bad as each other and with the stupid stupid classified document thing w/biden a lot of stupid stupid people are going to fall for the Republican platform. We are about to witness half of the country vote for the end >
  
  
  I think they’re both as bad as each other
  
  This is the thinking that allows Republicans to get away with being much, much worse. Yes, Democrats could do better, but the GOP has gone full batshit crazy. >
  
  Oh no I did not articulate myself correctly, I meant trump vs Desantis. I think democrats are failures but I want them to win >
  
  Ah, thanks for the clarification. DeSatan is arguably worse, but either would be a disaster. >
  
  “The way I handle things”:
  Incompetently? Illegally? Clumsily? Or the usual: not at all? >
  
  I too look forward hearing about a scandal of some sort that suddenly appears around the time of the primaries that slows DeSantis' momentum. >
  
  Denial, projection, gaslighting? >
  
  Trump has - for lack of a better term - a trump card that I don't think the GOP can get away from. If he is not selected as the GOP nominee, he can simply run as an independent. No one in the GOP wants to run if Trump runs as an independent, because the vote will split and their name will be run through the muck for no reason. >
  
  Incompetently then. >
  
  As much as I genuinely fear a desantis run/presidency, I really would like to see him and trump tear the Republican Party apart over pure ego. >
  
  Cue  the threatening calls and borderline violence threats to DeSantis - isn't that how Trump handles things?  Like a mafia thug boss? >
  
  Cheat- he means he'll cheat. >
  
  I half hope he is able to run, loses the gop nom and starts his maga party finally so the Dem easily wins.  The other half hopes he's in jail soon. >
  
  “By pounding farts into my diaper, and watching more TV.” >
  
  He'll sexually assault Desantis too? >
  
  By shitting himself on national television and crying about how unfair everything is? >
  
  Best news Democrats have heard Since the start of 2022 :D >
  
  By throwing a temper tantrum and incoherently rambling? Honestly, I hope these two destroy one another's credibility... more than has already happened of course. Trump is a goof, but Desantis legit scares me. >
  
  Lie and then lose. >
  
  By claiming it was rigged and his nomination was stolen before the voting even begins? >
  
  Grab him by the pussy? >
  
  Poorly? >
  
  Is that by losing, cheating, paying people off, or blackmailing people? >
  
  Like he handled Epstein? >
  
  Trump is acting like he's a wannabe gangster. Empty threats, lying, he'll call his wife ugly, put him down like someone with low self-esteem does, and use bully tactics. 
  This man is a loser and always has been if you look at the history of how he's run his businesses through massive fraud and presidency where he was only looking out for himself and those that could keep him in power. >
  
  So youre going to send an angry mob to his house? >
  
  I honestly don't know who I would prefer to win this. Trump is probably more criminal and treasonous but he's less likely to win a general election whereas De Santis is less overtly criminal but smarter, just as hostile to effective government and more likely to win. >
  
  So moaning and name calling? >
  
  Make up a stupid nickname and throw a hissy fit behind closed doors? >
  
  So, lies, extortion and blackmail it is, then >
  
  Saw someone say Trump is gonna call him Ronda Santis 5 minutes into the debate and destroy his political career >
  
  Two fascists going at each other?
  Sign me up. >
  
  Throwing a fit about how everyone is so mean? >
  
  So he'll handle it with fraud, intimdation, and threats of lawsuits? >
  
  I'm so over Trump at this point. Can he just go golf somewhere and leave us be? >
  
  With utter incompetence? >
  
  Ronnie wins the nom, Donnie cries stolen election, Donnie runs independent and splits the GOP vote, we’re spared from both crazies. This is how Donnie handles it. >
  
  How he handles things? With a crime? >
  
  Tantrum incoming. >
  
  So...lies, blackmail,  extortion? >
  
  Grab him by the pussy! >
  
  So, stupidly. >
  
  “By losing and crying that it was rigged.” >
  
  Translation: "I'll incite my insane followers to make death threats or worse..." >
  
  standby for the next disaster >
  
  so with gross incompetence and lies. cool. >
  
  So crying and moaning about how he is a victim until he gets his way? >
  
  So, threaten to run third party like last two times? Force the GOPs hands. Then, lose again, claim election fraud? >
  
  Sexual assault? >
  
  Push him down the stairs then bury him on a golf course? >
  
  Here's how the first debate goes. 
  Mike Pence gets the first question via coin toss backstage. 
  Four syllables in Trump interrupts.
  "Wait a minute, wait! Excuse me! The American people deserve to know his real answer and Karen Pence makes all the choices in their household. At cabinet meetings he'd never give his opinion because he had to ask Karen first." After 7 wasted minutes talking over each other they move on. 
  DeSantis is up. Question is on immigration.  Question is not even finished when Trump interrupts, "DeSantis is for sending immigrants on vacations and I'm for sending immigrants on deportations!" Doesn't matter that he claimed DeSantis stole the idea. Shamelessness is a requirement to get into the debate. 
  More talking over each other.

  2 hours later the moderators, openly sobbing, call for the closing statements. >
  
  Desantis better watch his pussy >
  
  Just like the way he handled covid?
