Trump’s Favorite Extreme Think Tank Is Jumping Ship for DeSantis

[onthedarkside]

 

As the Claremont Institute launched its new office in Tallahassee last month, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis rolled out the red carpet.

 

DeSantis met with the leadership of the right-wing think tank, posing for pictures. His wife and closest political adviser Casey tweeted out congratulations.

 

The get-together showcased a budding partnership between DeSantis and members of the Claremont Institute, whose leaders are now championing and working with DeSantis.

I hope the company got paid before they went to DeSantis.

 

Trump won't be happy about it.

The Claremont Institute did their damnedest to overturn the election via very bad legal advice. So, can you name a specific fault you found? Or just reply with something feeble like there are too many to name?

Big fan of Trump - more for being a non-conformist life-ling scrounging politician than anything else, But it's Desantis time now. Add Lake to the ticket and he's a winner over sleepy Joe and that idiotic, cackling, word salad VP

I really can't see Lake being viable for anything. I think even her most ardent supporter must have tired of her 'I won and that's all there is to see here' approach. She lost so much credibility, that was teetering on negative before the election, and of course she is widely associated with being a Trump wannabe so I think De Santis would give her an extremely wide berth.

The think tank’s scholars played a crucial role in normalizing former President Donald Trump

That's a really scary statement!

How freakin' unhinged was Trump before he got "normalized"?

So you’re saying Trump was beaten by a candidate nobody ever saw? Trump is such an <deleted> loser. If the Republicans want to take the White House, they better choose somebody who can at least beat someone who hides in a bunker the entire election ( as you claim).

As the latest elections showed, running on a fake elections platform was not exactly a sterling idea. Now you want to yoke together 2 candidates who are obsessive about the Issue? I hope Trump follows your plan.

Sorry to hear that lol anyway the first thing that jumps out to me is using think and trump in the same sentence that’s funny.your Ronnie is circling the drain as we speak your Kari lake is living in fantasy land she’s been flushed allready.meanwhile sleepy joe and his TEAM are getting stuff done for the American people within the confines of our constitution on the slimmest of majorities not to bad for a sleepy old duffer I must say!get her done Joe!

The Founding Director  of the Claremont Institutes's Center for Constitutional Jurisprudence is, get this, John Eastman. He also pushed the fake elector scheme and advised the President the Mike Pence had the authority to disqualify electors and and delegate choosing electors back to states where it just happened the Republicans had majorities in the legislature. Not even Trump's own White House Counsel thought this could fly. And he also believes that even though the 14 Amendment specifies persons born in the United States as being citizens, he decided that's not really what it means.

IMO the electorate had had enough of the political circus and Biden was the only other viable candidate.

Pity the US doesn't seem to have a valid write in vote for POTUS, as someone else might have a chance other than 2 rotten candidates.

So Trump is a literary scholar?

 

"In the Polls, I am beat (sic) Biden everywhere, by a lot, except in the Globalist inspired Wall Street Journal, one of the worst, and most partisan, media outlets anywhere," he wrote.

He then added, "It was that way with them in 2016, until I beat Crooked Hillary. Now they are using the same Fake Playbook, that I beat Ron DeSanctimonious easily, but Biden is close. All others media outlets have me beating both by a lot. Don’t buy their Bull…. They are FAKE NEWS!!!"

A new poll found that 70 percent of Americans, including 44 percent of Republicans, do not want former President Trump to make a White House run in 2024.

The poll, released Thursday from The Associated Press and the University of Chicago’s research center NORC, also found that 93 percent of Democrats and 63 percent of independents do not want Trump to run.

Only one US president ever hid in a bunker.

 

That was Trump being moved into "a protective area" of the White House while some moderate protesting was going on outside.

 

Guiliani was another bunker fan. He wanted one built for him to command from at the World Trade Center. Bunker boy #1 would have been squashed like a bug under the rubble.

 

Biden never sat in a bunker for a single moment. You know that. This is just more loopy, faux non-conformist posturing, like you're an angry columnist at The Sun. 'Haven't heard anyone call themselves a non-conformist with a straight face since the beatnik era.

 

Welcome, time traveler. Long may you revel in your wholey made up in the shower non-conformatism.

 

He can't win, he killed too many of his dopes with his covid policy who might have shown up. When I was a kid, we had the expression, 'avoid something like the plague". Trump: "Nuh-uh".

 

Meanwhile, 4 million new voters will have come of age since '16, overwhelmingly anti-Trump.

 

I'm looking forward to his (second, second!!!) humiliating drubbing from his opponent who admittedly does have a whiff of Weekend at Bernie's about him.

 

The election was fixed and Impotent Loser couldn't do a thing about it. Then a coma victim wipes the floor with him. Twice.

 

Sweet.

The reason Biden beat him by 8 million votes after he himself scored a record turnout isn't rocket science. Yet many believe that record turnout was itself justification for believing the election was rigged.

Donald Trump Swerves In-Person Iowa Appearance As Pressure Mounts

 

"On day one of my new administration, I will direct the DOJ to investigate every radical DA and attorney general in the country for their illegal, racist-in-reverse enforcement of the law," he said.

The repubs have a bunch of one issue voters on demented stuff like guns and fighting with drag queens. They can't win anywhere urban and now the suburbs are increasingly done with them too. School shootings + abortion pill fighting = not enough soccer moms to put Lardo over the top.

 

Only rural goobers like this dross. Their campaign song should be Jimmy Crack Corn And I Don't Care -because that's pretty much their sole policy plan.

 

What say very special non-conformists who suck greedily at the teat of socialized medicine that he would cut in a heartbeat?

 

The last time I floated this truth, a very special non-conformist said: "you use a lot of words". Seriously, this is the argument game level here with died in the wool socialists who love someone who's on record as hating them. It's like a bad bar girl relationship.

 

The dems have a much broader coalition for expanding medical services, abortion on demand (or even casual display of interest), and voting rights.

 

I'm giving money to the dems for the first time in my life. Everyone I know is. Next year, we put these Gomers in their place and we make it stick.

The worst electoral system in the developed world where a handful of hillbillies from Hicksville get as much voting power as millions in New York.

 

"In 2020, despite the 7 million-vote victory that Joe Biden won in the popular vote, people overlook the fact that 45,000 votes switch in the three key battleground states, and you're looking at a second term of Donald Trump," he said. "I mean, the fact that you could have the entire outcome of the election ride on 45,000 votes in three random states is, you know, just a huge, glaring vulnerability for any republic."

 

"Republican presidential candidates have won the national popular vote only once in the last 32 years,"

"Add Lake to the ticket".

 

Someone who now gets fined for making goofball voting fraud in court too many times. Was just laughed out of court recently. What the appeal? Maybe the manly, non-conformist hair cut. Always some gender anxiety with the Trumpies.

 

Def "add lake to the ticket". Please.

 

Arizona is already leaning dem. Make it a blow out. Like Andy Capp above is crying for.

The Georgia State Elections Board revealed Wednesday that the board has asked the FBI to participate in an ongoing criminal investigation into the voting system breach in Coffee County because of similarities between what happened there and incidents in other states.

Atlanta-area prosecutors are considering bringing racketeering and conspiracy charges in connection with Donald Trump’s effort to overturn the 2020 election in Georgia, according to a source with knowledge of the investigation.

"What we have here is the unauthorized access to this privileged computer data.

 

And this is a series of crimes, a pattern of criminal activity, then it could possibly violate the Georgia RICO statute, which criminalizes a series of criminal activities by the same person or group of persons, so there's a lot of stake here," he added.
