This could be Part 3 of Why We Can’t Have Nice Primaries – Trump
First the actual clip of Casey DeSantis that generated all manner of over the top accusations from Trump, his general modus when he isn’t decrying people who point out preposterous comments he makes. Trump et al accused Casey DeSantis of encouraging illegal voting (see broadsides set forth later) based on this clip:
What fevered mind, what incredible calumny spewing outfit creates the broadsides that followed the comments from Casey DeSantis calling for people from across the nation to PARTICIPATE in the Iowa Caucus, WHICH THEY CAN DO never saying VOTE in the caucuses which only Iowans can do. But Trump and his people were looking for a gotcha in the most unmanly way. The liberal Politifact, no friend of DeSantis, has an analysis and some receipts on the hypocrisy of the Trump-team accusation.
Politifact: Out-of-state residents can ‘participate’ in the Iowa caucuses, but they can’t vote in them
The stuff you see below is perhaps below even Victory Enterprises stuff. How desperate does the Trump campaign have to be for whatever percent they are shooting for in Iowa to try and make something out of the supportive wife of a candidate encouraging people to help out on her husbands campaign? It does not matter one twit where helpers come from to do door knocking, to make phone calls, stuff envelopes, help park cars, drive people to the caucuses, set up tables . . . whatever. Saying “participate” is calling for illegal voting is not merely an uncharitable interpretation it is a cheep unmanly lying one. Really creepy. Notice Trump does not actually quote Casey DeSantis, he characterizes what was said.
More on Trump women problem posted below the broadsides he issued.
Two variations, essentially the same, have come our way in recent days. These are direct from the Trump campaign – no excuses. Front and back shown.
Trump has not just gone after Republican Casey DeSantis. His woman problem is bigger than diminutive Casey. The problem with Trump on that score is the result of Trump’s aura his verbal treatment of women not his policies.
Remember Trump’s PUBLIC statements toward REPUBLICAN women who dare to challenge him — often cyberbullying comments . . . Carly Fiorina, Megyn Kelly, Bird Brain Nikki Haley, not to mention numerous woman of whatever political persuasion referring to them as “that dog” and as regards rape accusation however false -“she’s not my type”.
And do women forget Trumps comments about “elevator screamers” . . . “grab ’em by the . . . does anyone think that aura, that demeanor is good for winning in the general, a political plus, necessary, appropriate? It certainly reduces the possibilities.
Women are more than half the vote and perhaps the biggest reason Trump has to win through the electoral college (which he used to condemn by the way) rather than also the popular vote. Fortunately every Republican candidate’s good grace is that Joe Biden and or Kamala Harris are so much in bad repute that the Republican nominee ought to be able to win. All the more reason to pick the best chief executive and not the most prolific twit – er (Trump).
Even when they are deserving of rebuke (usually) Trump too often defaults to commenting on the woman’s looks rather than anything insightful. That creates a women problem. And that is what gets the play because he is too self-centered to change and do better for us.
Scared people may well turn out in droves at the Iowa Caucuses They want their country back. But if their pick is Trump it will bring more chaos, not less, not the normalcy they crave nor the effectiveness in the executive that DeSantis would bring, less distracted, even more authentically intense, less tainted by revenge or oblivious as Trump is.
