The DeSantis Super PAC has an ad attacking Trump for attacking Republican Governors, one of whom is his excellency, Chris Sununu. The ad even says, “The way you win as Republicans is to unite Republicans.” Is it? Then why are you attacking one?

By the way, I think they should attack Trump. He’s not perfect. He made mistakes. And this process is messy. The Founders went at each other like wet cats in a burlap sack. It is in the best interest of the electorate for their fighter to actually fight. The Big Ring in DC is not for mild manners or polite people. And down there, they don’t stick to issues or leave their opponents’ families out of it.
When Democrats lose an election, they invest all their resources and time into destroying or undermining the winner. When they win an election, they commit all of their resources and time toward advancing their agenda while trying to destroy viable opponents in the next one.
They send the FBI to your home at 5 am. When they indict you, it’s not election interference. And you think saying Trump was mean will move the needle?
Two words. Peaceful protest.
The Dems send mobs after you; they try to get you to abandon your rights. Try to leave town; there’s no escape. They’ll burn down black businesses and neighborhoods in the name of black folks. Leave disarmed citizens with no police protection. They literally disarmed them with the promise of security, then bitched about needing to gut the police force for their protection, and crime shot through the roof.
And let’s be honest. The Republican party has a lot of progressive policy sympathizers in it (and cowards), one of whom happens to be Chris Sununu. He’s done some good things, he was better than any Democrat and more than a few Republicans, but he’s done some terrible things because he is a by-product of a ruling-class political family that thinks it knows better than the voters the DeSantis PAC is trying to court.
Luckily for DeSantis, many of those voters don’t know that, so there is an opportunity to make Trump look mean, but defending Sununu isn’t going to get the undeclared voter off the couch to vote in a GOP primary in February unless it is for Donald Trump. And if you want that vote, you need to be stronger on the issues and better at pushing back against the very sort of Republican Chris Sununu is just in DC.
What the hell are you going to do about China? How about the out-of-control ‘pubic’ schools, the border, the illegals in the country, the weaponized intelligence agencies, the Neocons, the debt, Ukraine, domestic energy security, foreign drugs and gangs, the FBI – and are you mean enough and tough enough to stop the jackbooted bureaucracy from crushing the states whose primaries you’d like to win?
Everyone down there is going to hate that agenda, so if you win, being mean to Republicans will be a requirement, and the primary voters know Trump is not faking it. When he says he’s fighting for us against them, he means against all of them.
If you can’t sell that, you’d be better off attacking Chris Christie – he’s the one that’s actually sucking your polling air out of New Hampshire. Trump is at 49%. No one else is close. All combined, they still lose by almost ten points. And you don’t think his voters know what Trump is like.
Too bad DeSantis can’t fire those PAC guys. What’s next, mentioning the indictments? Trump will be up by 60 points.
Get a clue.
