What did Desantis mean?

[Conservative from Georgia]

Yesterday Ron Desantis in Iowa sharply criticized the Republicans for their "culture of losing," Warning that if they keep focusing on past elections Democrats will "beat us again":

"We must reject the culture of losing that has impacted our party in recent years. The time for excuses is over," DeSantis said during his speech. "If we get distracted, if we focus the election on the past or on other side issues, then I think the Democrats are going to beat us again."

Who is this person that in Desantis' view is dwelling on the past and who might lose "again" if he/she continues?

 

[Esdraelon]

DeSantis will run, cause Republicans to lose, and his career at the national level will be OVAH...

 

[Oddball]

The "culture of losing" is electing turds like Graham, Romney, Kinzinger, Cheney, and the rest of the capitulation cadre, on the premise that they're going do do something other than be doormats.

You'd think just about anyone the GOP runs will be a shoe in after 2 years of this shit, but watch them and the media push an elitist aristocrat of the Bush variety and prepare for the whore the finish the score by 2024.

I saw a headline stating ronnie is happy J6 are locked up? Is he OK with torture for "tresspassers" let in & led by Capitol Police? Hey home O MAC, whars' da video?

Then again, if you clowns are dumb enough to run Trump again - and you are - you will get your a$$e$ kicked in November 2024 - Bigly.

After January 6, 2021, Trump is no longer electable. I have no doubt that he can obtain the GOP nomination. But he can no longer win the general election.

I'm sure that Benedict Arnold would have faced the same problems had he been stupid enough to come back for a Round Two after betraying his country.

Desantis may have some rough edges on him but (a) he can effectively advance much of the MAGA agenda and (b) he stands-up against the status quo.

He's got a shot, and, if you back him quickly enough and hard enough, he might actually pull it off, whereas, with Trump, the effort is doomed to failure.

Fresh Blood is needed... fresh faces... fresh ideas... preserving the best of the past... looking ahead with some modicum of vision rather than looking backwards.

Trump is not that person.

Desantis holds that potential.

The object of the exercise is to win and retain political power, not to delude yourselves that a failed backwards-looking, disgraced standard bearer is still viable.

There is still time to snap out of it, get your heads out of your a$$e$, and start looking and planning ahead to win, rather than slavishly obeying your master.

Sounds like you're dwelling on the past. DeSantis is right. Stop focusing on the stolen election of 2020 and look forward to stopping any future coups. Hopefully, future conservatives will pass laws making Biden/Demwit election tactics illegal and make them fair in the future. Of course, if the Dems “naturalize” all the illegal aliens they're ushering in, then it may be too late to save the Republic.

It's not a "person" but "persons" specifically, the GOP. Their culture of losing is the Bush/McCain style where we aim for the middle road, compromise our principles, and try not to piss people off. It's the lily-livered, spineless, stupidity of playing the game so that the media isn't mean to us. All that "rise above it" and "turn the other cheek" bullshit that allowed to Democrats to fuck everything up, while we sat around and did nothing but bitch and moan. The rejection of that style is why Trump, DeSantis, and Abbot are so popular right now.

Exactly.

Abbot is controlled opposition, and DeSantis is getting infiltrated with squish normies.

We had "R" in all those stolen 2020 States. No one punished. Those "R" did nothing, then nothing before 2022.

How does ronnie get by that? At least 30 million illegal votes were put on Obiden.

He doesnt work in GA MI or PA? Az? Wi? Just for starters? Im not hearing anything but move on? Huh?

DeSanto is a limp noodle.

If I had it my way, Obama, Clinton, Comey, and all the other Dem conspirators would be deep in prison somewhere. But we know the Dems and RINOs aren't going to lift a finger to bring anyone to justice. So the best we can do (IMO) is to do everything we can to prevent a future coup. Can we? That remains to be seen.

 

[leftwinger]

I'd rather lose again (errr. Stolen) with a FIGHTER (Trump) than play along with the disgusting criminal kabal in place now. Hasten the end game, then wipe the commie vermin out permanently. A 90 day purge is preferable to letting them get away with what they have done to all of us.

He means it's time for the Republican party to reject Donald Trump and MAGA and move on from standing on the claims of fraud and corruption. Whether it be 2020 or the present.
The extremism cost Republicans their "Red Tsunami" in 2022 and if Trump and MAGA are allowed to prevail, they will lose again. Maybe even the Senate, which has a very favorable map for Republicans in 2024.

Probably the GWB, Romney, McCain types who didn’t lift a finger to stand up in the culture war and tried to be nice to the media and the other side while the Democrats knifed them to pieces.

Choosing RINOs over real Conservatives is what he meant.

Example A of why Republicans will lose again in 2024. Just..can't..let..it..go and move on.
