Would these ferocious assaults permanently harm the GOP’s goal of reclaiming power in Washington as the Republican primary process intensifies and former president Donald J. Trump targets his leading competitor, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis? The outcome of the titanic conflict between these two giants and Joe Biden’s progressive government in 2024 is still uncertain.
Tomi Lahren, a Fox News contributor and one of the critics of President Trump’s political strategies, foresaw a primary campaign that would be much more competitive than the one in 2016. She compared it to Clint Eastwood meticulously dispatching adversaries at the conclusion of “High Plains Drifter,” highlighting how much is at stake for 2020 parties as they compete for nomination.

Conservative pundit Tomi Lahren discussed Ron DeSantis, a Republican who supports Donald Trump, running for office on “Hannity” on Friday. She shared her opinions on the potential implications of this for Florida’s future throughout the next election season.
“I fear for how bad it’s gonna get,” she responded.
“I’ll tell you this, I’ve been a Trump supporter for a long time, 2016, 2020, if he’s our nominee I’ll go harder for him than I ever have before,” Lahren continued. “I will say this though, what Trump needs to convince his supporters of is that he can win an election.”
“He needs to do that,” she added. “Instead of just taking cheap shots at Ron DeSantis, he needs to say I can win more so than a Ron DeSantis, but I think we all know, no matter who jumps into this race, it is Ron versus Don, that is it, everybody else is in there to raise their name id, none of them are going to be serious contenders, we’re waiting for that battle royale and we hope that the best man with the best policies wins and then the other one, join together and let’s take back the White House.”
“A leopard can’t change its spots, Trump is going to have to stay Trump. We just hope that he fights the left, and he fights the drug cartels, and he fights China,” Later in the conversation, she said. “Don’t fight Ron DeSantis. Because Ron DeSantis at the end of the day is a Trump supporter. So, you don’t need to fight him. We need him. No matter which one is the nominee, we need them both.”
Recently, President Trump targeted a rising Republican candidate who had had Jeb Bush’s support as governor of Florida.
“So now we have ‘Jeb!’, RINO Paul Ryan, and Marxist George Soros wanting Ron DeSanctis—Does that tell you anything? Remember, Ron fought hard to very unfairly cut Social Security and Medicare. Also, wanted to raise the age limit for Social Security to at least 70-years-old,” The former and maybe incoming president posted on his Truth Social platform.
Against the overwhelming force of Donald Trump’s electoral train, Jeb! never had a chance. With an attitude of superiority, the current president made fun of Bush for having “low energy” and even called into doubt his manhood by bringing up Mrs. Bush. Then, during their famous debate in South Carolina, just before that state’s crucial primary election, he widened the gap between himself and potential voters by criticizing former President George W.’s legacy, highlighting how 9/11 happened during his time as Commander in Chief, in addition to calling out his decisions regarding the Iraq War.
The last straw for Jeb Bush was Donald Trump’s blunt words, which prevented him from continuing a long-standing family tradition and moving into 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Any chance of a second Bush presidency vanished once he dropped out of the campaign.
Republican candidates are preparing for a competitive primary season that will be reminiscent of the fervor and intensity of the 2016 election.
“It’s not a one-to-one comparison with 2016, but I think everyone needs to be clear-headed about their chances here,” The Hill cited a Republican strategist who worked on a 2016 primary campaign. “There are a lot of people that think they can be the one to take Trump down, but there comes a point where you’re hurting your own cause.”
Former South Carolina GOP Chair Katon Dawson thinks that the fact that there are already more than 30 candidates in the Republican primary campaign might offer President Trump an advantage in his bid for reelection. His top pick is Nikki Haley, the former governor of the Palmetto State, who has formally entered the fierce fight.
“I think it’ll be a four- or five-person race — and that certainly helps Donald Trump,” Dawson said. “So the question is: who can take some away from Donald Trump and who can get the other 50-something percent out there who are still undecided?”
While acknowledging that the crowded field “definitely helps” the former president in a trio of early states, Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina, veteran GOP strategist Keith Naughton was unconvinced that Trump would benefit from more opposition in the race for the nomination and believed that his advantage would likely soon vanish.
“The Republican side is a lot more goal oriented; ‘we have to have a nominee, let’s figure out who it is,’ ” The Hill reported what he said. “The bottom line is the first three contests are going to decide who’s viable. Maybe there’s a surprise and you have someone sneak through and last a little bit longer.”
“But, if Trump wins all three, he has the nomination, it’s all over,” Naughton added. “If DeSantis wins two out of three, he can knock out Trump pretty quickly.”
“Ron DeSantis is still going to be the future of our party whether he runs as the nominee or not,” Lahren said.
WITHOUT TRUMP THERE IS NO AMERICA, AND NO MORE FREEDOMS OR CONSTITUTION. HAVE TO LEARN TO SPEAK CHINESE.
