Trump vs. DeSantis: My Take [From Noah]

I’ve seen and listened to a whole bunch of pundits today talking about how Trump is finished, washed up…and how the Republican party has shifted now to DeSantis.

Look, I like DeSantis.

Good guy, great Governor…doing amazing things in Florida.

But the take that DeSantis is now leading and not Trump is pure hogwash.

Pure BS.

Sorry, but that’s just total nonsense.

And I’ll explain why.

Let’s start here:

President Trump’s record in this race is stunning…

He was WILDLY successful, almost unprecedented in his win streak.

To claim that his endorsement didn’t work is simply not living in reality.

So let’s dismiss that idea right upfront.

This is still FIRMLY President Trump’s party.

We don’t have to dislike DeSantis or downgrade DeSantis to make that happen.

They’re both wonderful leaders.

But Trump stands tall and his support has only grown.

So now let’s look at it from the other angle.

People are claiming DeSantis’ margin of victory was so big and the other races so tight that it shows he’s more popular.

Again, I agree DeSantis is loved in Florida, but I have a much different take.

His win is much more the result of the election integrity measures he took and the results of seeing what a free and fair election actually looks like, rather than a referendum claiming he’s more popular that Trump or Trump-backed candidates.

Here’s what DeSantis did in Florida:

And:

Ron DeSantis cleaned up the voter rolls, ended election rigging in Florida and won by 1.5 million votes.

This is why democrats don’t want elections to be fair. This would be happening across the country.

Folks, DeSantis had the advantage of cleaning (most) of the fraud out of his state and that is what you are seeing in these results.

Is DeSantis that much more popular than Kari Lake?

I doubt it.

In fact, I think Lake is the true superstar.

If I were to list power-rankings, mine would go 1) Trump 2) Lake 3) DeSantis.

But Kari Lake is fighting in a rigged fight.

I don’t even know how this is legal, but her opponent somehow gets to run and administer the election!

One of the biggest conflicts of interest I have ever seen!

If Lake’s election was on the same footing as what DeSantis did in Florida, I suspect Lake may have taken 70% of the vote.

But I do believe she wins this one and then pulls a DeSantis by cleaning house in the state, and in her re-election we see the big sweep for Lake.

Mark it down, you heard it here first!

So let’s stop with the nonsense about DeSantis surpassing Trump.

Good guy, but we are far from the torch handoff, and when the handoff does come it goes to Lake and not DeSantis.

NOAH OUT.

Now let’s see what you think…👇
