DeSantis/Paul - because two Ron's are better than one.

DeSanctimonious is being pushed by the Bush wing of the party, no thanks.

Yeah, Trump is quite a douchebag for trying to give DeSantis one of his nicknames.

What evidence do you have that the Bush wing is pushing DeSantis? And what would that prove other than they still want someone other than Trump?

The same evidence he has that Trump is the Liberty Candidate we all are dreaming for.

I don't think Trump has ever failed to attack a Republican that might get a little traction over his limelight. I'm sure he has attacked Paul and Massie before, so DeSantis is in good company.

And Oz was as much a disaster as thought when Trump interfered in the primary there. If Trump runs in 2024, it won't be to win, it will be to split the vote and try to make the republican candidate lose.

Yes, please give me another 2 week shutdown. I want another!

DeSanctimonious [...]

Yeah, Trump is quite a douchebag for trying to give DeSantis one of his nicknames.

It doesn't even make much sense as a slur.

Being "sanctimonious" (i.e., hypocritically and/or unctuously pious) is a bad thing.

So isn't being "de"-sanctimonious is a good thing ... ?

I've seen claims that the DeSantis campaign was supported by a Jeb!-backed PAC, or some such thing.

I don't know if it's true - or if it is true, how much of what kinds of support was given.

It wouldn't surprise me, though, for whatever reasons (opposing Trump, buying DeSantis off, etc. - or some combination of those things).

That's how politics typically "works".

They want DeSantis because he will do as he is told and is not a threat to them.
Donald Trump is the single biggest threat to them at this time.

Milo completely reamed him in his Timcast irl interview.. Milo lives in Florida and thinks he is a great governor, but brought up all of the stuff about his questionable funding and says he is the type of guy who can easily be bought.

Milo is back, based as ever...

I wish Ron DeSantis could be governor for at least another decade. Florida needs to be come the Republicans California. He is the man to do it. I wish every state has a DeSantis or better for governor.

That said, I don't trust him in Washington. I never will.

DeSantis has been a huge disappointment when he signed the largest single tax hike in Florida's history into law. And so far he has done nothing to fight for the right to keep and bear arms except give lip service; he isn't leading on the issue. I am hoping that changes next session, but I suspect he will accept half-measures.


DeSantis was also originally bad on COVID actually setting up checkpoints on the highway but then once it was politically safe to do so he began reversing course and doing some good things. But again, only when it was politically safe to do so.
Regardless of the outcome, not much will change in Florida after Tuesday's election.

Judas Goat is a big word. I don't see how he could possibly deserve that moniker yet.

Let's keep Judas Goat for those who truly deserve the label.

So, I typically find Tim grating, but I listened to some of this to give Milo a listen... I've never listened to him before.

But seriously, after about a 1/2 hour of that, I had to stop. People really find that guy interesting?! Smart?! Is it the accent? Bold statements??

That guy acts like a self-absorbed moron! Not surprising he idolizes another self-absorbed moron.

Tim keeps trying to interrupt in the beginning, but Milo is stronger and more charismatic and doesn't let him. That was slightly annoying, but eventually Tim just lets him go on.

Around 25:00 is about where it starts getting really good. Milo has not had any public interviews or speeches in 5 years, it took a minute for him to get warmed up.

I don't agree with him on everything, but his point of view is fascinating, I would encourage you to listen to the entire discussion. He casually says "women's suffrage is the original sin" toward the beginning and then just moves on like he said the sky is blue, but later expounds on that at great length. Essentially says women's equality was a demotion for women, but also does a great job explaining how that has shaped our current society.

If you still don't find it fascinating, then there's always 1:46:00

Remember, Luke is on there too. Whatever you think, Tim and Luke are really smart guys and they were both just blown away. They do these shows every single night and there hasn't been a timcast quite like this one.

All from a single source. You seem to be quite a fan of The Conservative Tree House.

Donald Trump is the single biggest threat to them at this time.

None of which is proof of anything other than that they want someone other than Trump. Democrats fund Republican candidates that they don't like all the time in primaries.

... And what would that prove other than they still want someone other than Trump?
