  1. Desantes is right for our country. I voted Trump 2 times I hate to think of Trump as nominee, President or the loser.

  2. Dave Ruben needs a reality check. I unsubscribed from his channel a long time ago. Wake up Dave and stop drinking the Kool-Aid. DeSantis should have waited until 2028, now that might be out of his reach for making a fool of himself.

  3. DeSanctimonious is a RINO career Establishment politician who’s being coddled by the likes of Paul Ryan and other snakes.
    TRUMP 2024!!!

  4. LOVE Gov. Ron Desantis!!!

  5. Trump is just jealous because Ron is successful, young, popular and more grown up than him!

  6. TRUMP is being a father saying get with it were on the same side ……

  7. In reading a lot of the comments I could not help but to throw my hat in the ring. It makes me a proud American seeing what a lot of you are saying. Here is my two cents. First, Desantis is a career politician. From what I have seen, he is good friends with Paul Ryan. Which if that’s true, that’s horrible for our country because Paul Ryan is a Rhino and part of the deep state. Next, Ron has done well for Florida’s, but having him shoot to president, is like promoting a store manager to CEO. I don’t care what anyone says, USA isn’t a country anymore. It’s a business. And should be ran by successful, conservative, business owners who live and die by the constitution. I do not care anymore what party you are, because it’s been shown that both sides are part of the deep state. I "identify" (hahahaha, had to say it) as a constitutional conservative. So I will vote for any candidate that represents that from either party so as long as there not career politicians and have owned successful businesses. The only career politicians I would consider are MAGA ones for what they stand for and are truly loyal to trump which means they are not part of the deep state. Trump has already proven his success as a president. Not too mention I feel Desantis put a nail in his own coffin by saying that he is the best candidate for the job because it would take 8 years to unravel the mess biden made, and trump responded perfectly. Who the hell wants that? I don’t. Trump will do it in way less time.

    People need to get over his rhetoric and look at results. Results are the name of the game. And no one, and I mean no one has done better at running the country then trump. And it’s a hard act to follow. I just hope that trump always runs the conservative side no matter what, like the deep state runs the other side. Also, has anyone noticed, that they are strongly going after trump and not the other candidates? Have any of you stepped back and truly asked your self why? Why is that? Maybe because he is the only threat, or maybe the only one not involved with them? We need the MAGA movement to wipe out human trafficking and the deep state for good. (Side note) Y’all need to see sound of freedom, and tell everyone you know to watch that as well. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸TRUMP 2024, MAGA4LIFE🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

  8. Fox is losing the plot here.

  9. Rubin is ANTI Trump and Rubin is a joke

  10. OFFLOADING RON 

    MURDOCHS LOSE CONFIDENCE IN RON DESANTIS’S ABILITY TO DEFEAT TRUMP

    Media tycoon Rupert Murdoch, who has bolstered Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s (R) national profile through Fox News and other outlets he and his family own, is reportedly losing confidence in DeSantis’s ability to defeat former President Donald Trump in the 2024 Republican primary, Rolling Stone reported.

    One Fox News insider told Rolling Stone that Rupert and his son Lachlan Murdoch “are transactional and can smell a loser a mile away.”

    A senior Fox source told the outlet Murdoch’s “understandable worry is that we may end up being stuck with Trump anyway.”

    “And DeSantis is underperforming. Anybody can see that … [and the Murdochs], they’re seeing it, too,” the source added.

    Rolling Stone spoke with two individuals who speak to the Murdochs, three well-placed sources at Fox, and three others briefed on the situation, who all spoke on conditions of anonymity to divulge the contents of private discussions.

    Murdoch’s growing concern about DeSantis’s campaign is evident in recent Fox News coverage and editorial board articles from the New York Post, an outlet also owned by the Murdoch family. The increased pressure on DeSantis from these outlets is “not by accident,” and “not a coincidence,” according to Rolling Stone’s sources.

    For Example, Fox News host Will Cain pressed DeSantis for answers about his poor poll numbers in an interview last week.

    “I have to ask you, governor, this: Why do you think, despite those successes, so far, it hasn’t been reflected in your polling for your 2024 run for president of the United States?” Cain asked DeSantis.

    Days later, Fox News host Maria Bartiromo posed a similar question, bluntly asking DeSantis, “What’s going on with your campaign?”

    “There was a lot of optimism about you running for president earlier in the year, but here’s this weekend’s headline from Politico Playbook,” Bartiromo said before reading negative headlines about DeSantis.

    Gov. Ron DeSantis has yet to make much headway in the polls against Trump in the nearly two months since he has officially been in the race.

    For example, a June Harvard poll found that Trump led DeSantis by a margin of 67 to 33 percent, a slight decrease for DeSantis from Harvard’s May poll taken before the Florida governor entered the race. Additionally, Trump holds double-digit leads over DeSantis in various states, including, but not limited to, South Carolina, New Hampshire, Wisconsin, New York, and Iowa.

    DeSantis’s underwhelming campaign performance thus far has left Murdoch wondering if a “comeback” is possible at this point. Murdoch is also privately frustrated with DeSantis’s culture warrior campaign strategy, one that has attracted criticism for being “too online” to connect with the median voter.

    “According to two of the sources, Murdoch has privately winced at DeSantis’ nonstop cultural-grievance strategy, arguing that it is being executed sloppily,” Rolling Stone reported.

    For example, DeSantis’s campaign posted a “pride month” campaign video that attacked Trump for his commitment to “protect” LGBTQ+ Americans in the aftermath of the Pulse Nightclub shooting, leading critics to accuse the DeSantis campaign of being “divisive and desperate” and venturing into “homophobic territory.”

    In fact, DeSantis’s “too online” campaign kicked off with an official announcement on Twitter that was plagued with technical difficulties.

    As Breitbart News reported:

    The Twitter Spaces call, scheduled to launch at 6 p.m. Eastern, began several minutes late as one unidentified voice whispered that it was “quiet.” David Sacks, the entrepreneur hosting the event, began to introduce Elon Musk and asserted that this was “historic” before the audio cut out. From then on, the audio continued to cut in out several times, with continued echoing and seemingly random voices — not the voice of the governor, whom the conversation was all about.

    Most recently, DeSantis lost support from top America First movement figures such as Mike Cernovich after DeSantis’s press secretary Jeremy Redfern accused detractors of being “dishonest” after raising questions about DeSantis’s past comments about then-Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into “Russian collusion” between Trump’s 2016 campaign and Russian agents.

    The Murdochs are not alone in their concerns about DeSantis’s ability to dethrone Trump from the top of the polls. Steve Cortes, who advises the pro-DeSantis super PAC Never Back Down, recently admitted the DeSantis campaign faces an “uphill battle” in the GOP primary.

    “Right now in national polling we are way behind, I’ll be the first to admit that,” Cortes noted before recognizing that “Donald Trump is the runaway frontrunner.”

    However, the Murdochs are reportedly not quite ready to give up all hope on DeSantis, “in part because they likely would have nowhere else to turn except to crawl back to Trump,” Rolling Stone reported.

    DeSantis has also suggested he is in the race for the long haul, telling Fox News’s Cain that he will be making his case to voters “over the next six or seven months.”

    “I’m running to win in January and February. I’m not running to juice polling now,” DeSantis responded to Cain’s concerns.

  11. Trump boosts himself by ALWAYS putting everyone around him DOWN.

  12. Dave I don’t want Destantis anymore He is too rigid and pompous.

  13. Hey Dave, Some of Beowulf’s most important traits as an epic hero include bravery, loyalty, honor, and the willingness to risk his life for the greater good. These characteristics are exemplified in Beowulf’s epic deeds, including slaying Grendel and Grendel’s mother. Beowulf later also demonstrates the epic trait of being a just ruler of his people, the Geats, and sacrificing his life to slay the dragon that threatens them. Remind you of any body. Hint it ain’t you or Joe.

  14. This guy has to be a BUSH, CHENEY MAN.!!

  15. This Dubin dude is not very SMART! TRUMP will WIN in 2024. AGL, Former Green Beret and Apolitical ComicsCreator

  16. Even Tucker is sick of trump. In text messages Tucker Carlson said he was done with Trump and his unfounded claims of a rigged election.
    “We are very, very close to being able to ignore Trump most nights. I truly can’t wait,” he texted an unidentified person.
    I hate him passionately. …I can’t handle much more of this,” he added.
    “We’re all pretending we’ve got a lot to show for it, because admitting what a disaster it’s been is too tough to digest,” he wrote in another text message, referring to the “last four years.” “But come on. There isn’t really an upside to Trump.”

  17. If Trump supporters don't wake up and dropped the guy facing criminal charges they are going to end up getting a republican candidate you don't want. Support them now don't wait or you will get stuck with Biden.
