During the Turning Point USA America Fest, Fox News contributor and #1 rated cable news host, Tucker Carlson is asked about Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and President Donald Trump. Who would Tucker Carlson endorse in the 2024 GOP primary? {Direct Rumble Link}
The answer Carlson delivers to that question is the best 9+ minute dialogue on both men you will hear. Referencing his recent interview with Mike Tyson, Tucker begins by outlining the baseline premise inherent in questions around endorsements. The essence of the question implies an individual’s opinion of their own self-importance, which Carlson eloquently explained is irrelevant.
Tucker then delivers a very accurate encapsulation of both leaders and frames the context for both amid a scenario that no one should predict. WATCH:
.

Good dialogue. 2 years is a long time. Anything could happen.
I missed something that should be obvious –
Sundance: “The essence of the question implies an individual’s opinion of their own self-importance, which Carlson eloquently explained is irrelevant.”
Tucker didn’t take the bait, intended or not.
Well done, Tucker.
Authentic indeed.
It’s gonna be a wild ride. I give Trump the edge based on audience response.
That right there.”People moved to Florida because DeSantis is the “GOVERNOR” ”
DeSantis loses ALL support when he runs as “POTUS”
And I would hope that the Florida residents would be very agitated that DeSantis is leaving Florida to run against their beloved President Trump. This will be viewed as an attempt to split the MAGA base and Desantimonious still can’t say MAGA. I guess he’s afraid to or maybe he doesn’t want America to be great again.
He has never been MAGA. He’s just RINO light wearing a MAGA skin. Go look at his Congressional voting record.
Amen!!
We all have to gain the courage to push them off the carousel ride, and force their mouths out of the feed bags!
After DeSantis leaves, it will be Democrat governors forever for the state of Florida. All the “good” he’s doing will be quickly and irrevocably reversed once the Dems take power.
I wonder why DeSanctimonious hasn’t addressed election fraud in the great state of Florida? Any state that still uses *hackable* voting terminals is lost forever. He must know this.
I guess he can’t lose if the globalists who rig elections are funding his campaign, right?
To ask is to answer.
Exactly. It proves again he is a rino!!
If he was a leader he should of removed all electronics from voting process!!!
This mistake will one day allow a democrat takeover of the state forever.
our damned governor (Louisiana) ALONG WITH a complicit and corrupt “gop” legislature just purchased 30 million dollars of MORE DOMINION machines!
it’s not just Florida. What we are seeing, as sundance has highlighted ad nauseum is that ALL PARTIES are completely and utterly incapable of running a truly fair and open election process.
It’s about power and the position to manipulate elections.
it makes gerrymandering seem almost innocent by comparison, which still in itself remains a thing that ALL parties continue to do..IN EVERY STATE.
for anyone who needs reminding: electoral college in its present form is the most unfair and unbalanced means to process elections.
Why should it be that DC, washington has more voting POWER than the entire state of Louisiana?
proportional voting. That’s the solution. You can still have the EC, but changing the fundamental rules with proportional voting, literally means one person, one vote.
For national elections, presidents specifically, the EC nonsense IS the very basis (and gerry mandering) for election fraud and manipulation. Fix that, and that is one less object ALL PARTIES can hack.
spoiler: this is why ALL PARTIES will NEVER AGREE to reform the EC to a proper proportional vote process. For the same reasons no state and NO PARTY will every abolish moving district mapping (gerry mandering).
I could go on, but I risk repeating the same issue over and over and over. So I will spare this thread the “abuse”. Of all the ways to defraud an election, the current EC and district re-mapping, is at the top of the list. no mules required. No electronic ghosts in the machine need apply (although we understand and are keenly aware of those strategies to hack and defraud the elections).
I think if it this way. the old axiom: it not who you vote for, it’s who counts your vote.
the new axiom: it’s not who counts your vote, it’s the POWER of your vote relative to others across state lines AND how your district and voting composition is edited!
I don’t want to get this thread off track from the subject, but as long as we continue to ignore and accept the ridiculously insane distribution of EC ratios to the population based on pure subjective bullshit and continue to allow ALL PARTIES to manipulate district maps, nothing is going to change in America.
you see, there were never after President Trump. It is YOU AND ME that they fear. That we organize and set into motion massive reforms to central government. President Trump was just in the way. And slowly, over time, President Trump will no longer be “in the way”, which leaves all of us patriot hard working law abiding freedom loving AMERICANS, on our own to deal with the beast.
We will all have to start understanding clearly that politics is not going to solve this.
we are in stage 4 – transfer of power. And the latest score shows the deep corrupt state fully engaged in yanking all of that power. And it’s been very easy..unchallenged as they say.
that must end. Otherwise, there is no going back home. There is no America. There are just a bunch of people who live in this place, formerly called the greatest nation on earth. That’s OUR responsibility.
no one else is coming to rescue America. No white horses, no miracles and no do overs.
we screw this up and fail to act and it’s game over.
I will not go silently…ever!
God Bless America
All due respect…you have no idea what you’re wanking about.
I live in FL and am very tech savvy. I asked very specific questions vis the architecture and operations surrounding the polling place where I voted in St Johns County. The answers were pretty damn good; very indicative that the County applied some forethought to security.
It’s tiresome having to wade through sloppy generalizations – all the time.
Ever worked cybersecurity? Please describe for me, in detail, what “un-hackable” means from technical, operational and cost points-of-view.
Why didn’t the people running the Dominion machines steal the election for Crist?
Would be harder to run Ron “part of the big club” desantis for President , if he could not win Florida .
The problem with that answer is that some other wedge candidate could be slipped into the same slot.
He did some of the things Florida needed fixed for the 2022 elections, but, not all of them. Otherwise, the state would not have been so red at the 2022 polls. After all, when DeSantis won the governorship, his win was marginal at best. He eliminated quite a bit of the cheating.
Not only that – I am still wondering why FL came out so differently in the midterms than most everywhere else (except NY which I think the regime simply missed).
I still smell a machine swing specifically intended to help DS.
The financial people in Miami-Dade do not believe the margins.
The rig is the electronic tabulators, the algorithm is built to produce a certain result along with ballot fill
DeSwampis was supposed to win by a huge margin to make the average voter who thinks voting is a popularity contest think DeSwampis is a super hero
Sydney Powell has always been right and Mike Lindell’s team watched this in real time
Check your county and see who provides tabulators and the maintenance agreements and if you do a thorough investigation and connect the dots, you should be able to figure who really runs your local elections.
The rest is just half truths and misdirection
There is no difference b/w vendors, they all run pre-programmed algorithms
That is what I don;t think people see. They not only want
DeSantis to take out Trump. They want him out of FL
then when a Dem takes over they ruin FL like everything else.
Gillum came really, really close.. I hope FL doesn;t
change the law and makes DeSantis give up his
Governorship to run….
This Floridian voted for DeSantis for governor but will vote for Trump as president. Ron DeSAINTus is not MAGA.
Remember also that Jeb was rated as an excellent governor of Florida.
It’s a pattern: gain the confidence of the people by actually doing your job for a change, then run as a splitter or GOPe who is only going to set the country back.
Same here. RDS is “allowed” to do the good things. It’s part of the plan. Why else would other Republican governors not follow his lead? If it’s too good to be true then question the narrative.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I don’t thing that matters. Floridians justifiably love RDS. He’s done an excellent job FOR THEM at the local level. Why would they replace him with anyone else for his desire to run for Presidency? He is still an excellent Governor. Do you throw out an excellent Governor for aspirations that haven’t materialized into fact yet???
What I would be BLESSED to see.. is a CONVERGENCE ZONE. What if… just what if… the two storms that are PDJT and RDS (et al)… MERGED AND HELPED ONE ANOTHER TO WREST THE CONTROL AWAY FROM THE MACHINE? We might have a chance if we can get the teams to play well together.
It must be led by Trump though. We simply don’t trust anyone and only trust Trump because he revealed all this to us at the risk of great personal sacrifice. Nobody and I mean nobody else is going to do that. Will RDS take the Presidency without collecting a personal paycheck… to donate it to worthy cause? No, because he can’t afford to and that’s already showing by campaign donation.
We need the Trump storm. But how marvelous would it be for the RDS war chest to join and mobilize behind Trump for the greater good of our Constitutional Republic?
How would the Dem heads roll then?
What if?
DeSantis can wait until 2028
DeXX double crossed President Trump and the MAGA movement and secretly signed up with the enemy of MAGA, the GOPe.
DeXX might as well buy a fishing charter boat and become a boat captain in Miami. That is what he is qualified for after being a documented double crosser.
Yes…He would lose a LOT of FL voters, because we voted for a 4-year governor.
Why portray it that way, when the reality is the MAGA base wants Trump. There is no room in the MAGA base for DeSantis on the national stage. Unless, the globalists are able to take Trump off the ticket, DeSantis will not win.
If only I could believe audience opinion mattered. How to break the machine? Can we REFUSE machine entered vote and demand PAPER ballot? (Would they be forced to make paper ballots available at the polls?)
You mean like they did in Maricopa County, FL in 2022?
I have an old friend that flew in from Texas to Phoenix. It’ll be interesting to hear his take on the messages. Anecdotal, but my two very conservative brother in laws are in the DeSantis camp. Probably from watching too much NewsMax. They weren’t wild about the constitutional comments or the NFT announcements of Trump. Outwardly, DeSantis looks very appealing. Those of us Treepers go deep in the weeds realizing DeSantis is most likely controlled by Wallstreet & the $ (GOPe) He does have a history of voting in Congress. That may tell us what we need to know.
“The transformative event”
So True -And that is why the Uniparty and all their disciples HATE him – the simple \obvious questions that they don’t want you to even think about… just leave it to those that know better , the professional politicians to handle (S/s)
And of course “the strings” which were all as safely hidden as Rock Hudson’s secret life for all those years – not seen until 2015
Only Trump can stop this
Did you even watch the video? IT’S UP TO US TO STOP IT!
Yes, I did thank you, but only Trump can remove the WEF/NATO/UN/Paris Agreement BS, and sit down at the table with Putin.
If Putin lives that long. Isn’t he very I’ll?
I have read he has an unspecified cancer. He looks ill and tired to me now compared to when Trump first ran.
I agree with that. But it’s not enough. We had Trump for 4 great years. Two years on from the CIA/WEF/ CCP coup and look at the mess we’re in. Everything he did has been undone. Yes, we need Trump but he needs us to do more. The last 3 elections should be proof that we’re not gonna vote ourselves out of this disaster.
both
Blockchain access will be blocked. That’s so easy a first year computer science major could do it.
I agree, and they are already setting up the BlockExchange
WOW!
Trump/Carlson 2024
Excellent. Love Trump. Love DeSantis. Tired of the comparisons. We will see…
I understand.
However, those difficult comparisons are our duty as citizens to perform, to the best of our ability.
Just wanted to remind everyone that no matter how it turns out…. Jesus Christ is still King…. and He will keep His promises. We can be forgiven of all of our sin, be born again and receive eternal life…. if we will only believe that He is the Son of God Who died to pay for our sins and that He was raised back to Life eternally after doing so… and will put our faith in Him.
He is the King of Kings, Emmanuel, Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Prince of Peace, Faithful and True….
Blessed be His Name now and forevermore…. and God bless all you people of goodwill here on CTH.
Thank you. Amen.
Amen Tucker Amen
Amen. The King is coming!
this is so prescient to acknowledge and TIMELY.
during this “season” we give a special time to HONOR GOD who sent his only son, who was born, then died on a cross,
AND
IS RISEN.
My prayers are simple: Please dear God, please keep me from throttling these corrupt maniacs and putting their corpses on pikes.
It is a serious prayer and I know I am not alone kneeling down every day in devotion to this self discipline. But I need help, it’s become very difficult to muster the reasons why these corrupt godless jackwagons are allowed to ride free. very difficult
regitiger, same sentiments here as well.
In the next 6-18 months, there will be many people devastated by health issues and deaths, some of whom will “have nothing to lose” and will act accordingly. Had this very discussion with a small group of folks in an office waiting just for an oil change. The dislike and borderline actual hatred for the God-less Communists is out there…it’s not a few people here and there.
I pray for calm and guidance…extraordinarily difficult in these trying times.
Amen! Amen! Amen!
I think this is one of the best endorsements I have ever heard.
So cleverly done too… Denying that he is making it – believable – while giving an absolute barn-burner of an endorsement!
Interesting take.
Could be so.
I admit afterwards it didn’t even occur to me to ask “Ron who?”
It’s interesting that Tucker didn’t know how the 2016 election would end when Mr. Trump announced he was running.
I knew in that moment of his announcement at the Trump Tower, he would be president.
With what is getting exposed within DC, IC, elections, media, big tech— I have the very same sense as in 2016. Mr. Trump will be President in 2024. I don’t know the how, why, or what to expect- but it’s a journey we are required to take to save this Nation.
I believe the debates solidified Trump’s Presidency. As a side thought… remember when he graciously assisted when Ben Carson was slighted on stage. That spoke of Trump’s behavior towards competition. In “good” business, we loved competition as long as it was fair. And that is excellent for the American people and consumers.
That moment made me so happy. I knew I was seeing the character of the future President.
I for one, “have feelings on it”…………………..
Trump wins or America is lost.
A lot of signals that that is ( was) prescient, in 2020…
Someone’s would be a lot better off to not lean on just 1 person.
( perhaps its better become the person to lean on… earned trust…)
There is strength in numbers.
More hands,
make less work.
All gave some,
some gave their all…
Becoming the best version of ourselves…
Love thy neighbors
As long as the hands aren’t caught in the cookie jar.
And if for nothing else, he should be elected for the simple reason that the 2020 election was stolen!
Since we don’t seem to be able to do anything about it, we need him to win as payback for the stolen election.
Why did Trump endorse McCarthy? He is a back stabbing RINO traitor.
Guessing that Trump is looking at the big picture and this is the lesser evil, the world is out of time. My spot on this tree from Canada is that I am praying for Trump and Kari Lake because the world is out of options now.
Because 4 oro 5 Republicans ate against Mc Carthy and he needs their votes. If it goes to the DEMS, we will get someone worse than McCarthy. It is the lessor of two evils again. The GOP doesn’t stick together as DEMS do.
Perhaps for the same reason he endorsed the carpet-bagging Oz…PDJT does have faith in many who never pull through for him (and for us).
It bothers me too.
But I’ve seen an interesting online theory – that PDJT knows there are swamp RINOs in the mix who won’t want to be seen voting for anyone he endorses.
It’s not like a general public election – he knows this voter pool well!
Trump did so much. Prior to the escalator if you would have suggested a border wall it was game over. In fact when DT did I thought he was toast.
The man has been put thru hell tho. I wanted to believe, and I did that he had some divine providence pulling him forward. His energy is otherworldly.
Regardless, I have ZERO hope for any candidate on a national stage. It seems pointless to debate it.
That was really wonderful, and uplifting.
Thank you Sundance.
And Merry Christmas to everyone in the Treehouse!
For DeSantis to run against PDJT displays an appalling degree of disloyalty and lack of gratitude.
PDJT endured unrelenting attack including from his own party. I don’t think the average person could withstand two days of what he endured for four years.
You can measure a person’s commitment by how high a price they are willing to pay to achieve something. PDJT has lost many millions since he came down that escalator.
DeSantis is flush with cash and seems to be on easy street now. What a difference.
Keep in mind he thinks he’s running undercover, that no one sees the strings, and will buy his story when he finally announces.
The story will be PDJT can’t run, or can’t win, so he must.
Unspoken will be that his handlers were the architects of whatsoever handicap they impose upon our Champion.
Exactly and depending on exactly what they do, our choice at the ballot box may be limited by any number of events. At any rate, voting Republican in 2022 in the hopes of stopping Biden’s policies looks like it was a waste of time. The Uniparty has voted for every spending bill without regard for the will of the people. Tyranny.
I think it reveals character.
If DeSantis were his own man, he’d have concluded: “If Trump wins, he can only serve 1 term. My second term as Governor of Florida will end two years into a second Trump administration. In that time, I can learn by watching him, as I have already done, and I can start building in earnest my team for my run at the Presidency in those two years.
“If Trump loses, I will have lost the chance to watch and learn, but I will still have the same time to build a campaign and hopefully, I will have earned DJT’S trust and can earn his endorsement and be a voice for MAGA.”
________________________________
That it appears RDS wants nothing to do with “waiting,” tells me he thinks he cannot “do this,” that is, build a campaign, without the GOP Establishment and that Establishment is at his door NOW. It tells me he isn’t sure of himself w/out them, not willing to take the challenge on without them.
He’s afraid that if he says, “No, I’d rather wait until the next Presidential cycle,” they will not only not back him, they will go after him should he run in 4 years. It seems likely they may have threatened with, “Either do it now or we will never look you way again.”
Most likely, as two things can both be true, is that Ron DeSantis doesn’t consider himself MAGA, that there must be principles of MAGA he’s not on board with or he’s perhaps just a person who wants to be President and ideology means little to nothing to him on that front.
Remember, Trump essentially laid out a beautiful field for him in Florida, opening the way for DeSantis to apply “common sense” policies in the state with plain speaking.
Adopting domestic policies that conservatives and even moderates agree with is not hard these days when the other party really is viewed as “bat sh_t crazy” on those issues.
The world of trade and foreign policy is a whole other animal.
DeSantis is preparing to be the McCain, the Romney, of 2024. If he is the nominee, he will run a “brilliant” race according to plan.
His opponent, Michelle, will have a narrow win according to plan. DeSantis will be rewarded for his splendid effort. According to plan.
The Uniparty will claim the spoils, the money, our freedom. They will have a huge celebration with fireworks. According to plan.
The Uniparty fears the only person who can mess with their plan. President Trump.
Michelle Obama did not like DC (most wives don’t, Jill Biden is an exception), did not like being tied to the WH. She has her freedom now and money to go with that freedom. I don’t look for her to run.
She’s got no choice if they decide she’s the one they can run
“She” has the “trump card” – the second “she” pulls “it” out, it’s game over, so too risky to try to force “her” if “she” says no, plus it’ll leave a huge shìtstain on “her” husband Barry.
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
They are both compromised. Their policies are being enacted by Biden regardless. If either of them held the office, they would be blamed for the inevitable results of these failed policies. So, I doubt either of them wants the title publicly. I think they love running the show behind the scenes.
That ship willl ever leave the port. All those children she forced crappy lunches on will never vote for her. 🙂
IT going to be Newsome.. Pretty boy, young, (related to Nancy)
running againstDeSantis with Newsome for the win..
Yes, Mike is too hoity-toity to really get its hands dirty.
This is certainly a likely outcome.
This is the nature of politics. Many presidents have run single and even repeated presidential races, which failed, before they ran the one that made them president. I think it is a lot to assume how DeSantis views things beyond the facts surrounding his financial support and the past acts of those supporting him. They actually do not need DeSantis to win. He just needs to split the ticket for them to prevent a Trump/MAGA win. DeSantis has a congressional record in which he has voted against MAGA policies multiple times. This predates Trump’s run for POTUS.
DeSantis has forged an ambitious political career for over a decade. He has a young family. Politics is an expensive game. He is not independently wealthy and depends heavily on contributions. He does not know whether he will have financial backing beyond the 2024 race. He just knows he has the GOPe donor backing now.
Agree, I think I posted my thoughts on the prior thread. If DeSatan wants to run against Trump, he should just run as a Dem. Because he is sure looking like one to me. He can’t pass my sniff test. He reeks of something swamp like. Kudos to him for being a good governor but “don’t you dare tread on me.”
In my mind, I have to ask why they want to fund him. It can’t be for good reasons, not with that bunch.
They fund him to use him in whatever way they see fit.
That could be either to “win” or to “lose” according to the expedience of the moment in their eyes. Quotation marks intentional.
Ayn Rand had a great deal to say about doing things “in the expedience of the moment.”
DeSantis would be a back stabber. If it wasn’t for Trump saving him, he would never have been governor.
Brilliant answer or response to a fair but loaded question.
Note–I’ve been self censoring myself more on CTH. Shortly after I posted a Pedro L. Gonzalez tweet that I thought brilliantly criticized Bari Weiss’ hypocritical whining about Elon Musk suspending Doxers, I remembered that Gonzalez is an anti Trumper so I thought why rile the Treepers and deleted the tweet. (1st comment Presidential thread which surprised me)
The rift between DeSantis folk and P Trump folk is steadily widening and the number of people that are publicly announcing their preferred choice seems larger on the DS side, even though the PDJT side might be a much larger block of voters.
I wouldn’t self-censor here, we are all entitled to our opinions. I love DeSantis he is my Gov and if he runs in 2024 he will not get my vote, it is Pres Trump or no one. I will no longer vote for the lesser of two evils if both are evil. I am not saying DeSantis is evil I am thinking more on the lines of a Mitt Romney or Susan Collins. Popular opinion around here lately is DeSantis is bought and paid for RINO, I don’t buy it, not yet. Also that Tucker is controlled opposition, maybe so but NO ONE on television is saying what he is. I watch him every night and find him to be very entertaining and eye-opening. I love it here but I keep an open mind and agree to disagree sometimes with our fantastic host.
“I am not saying DeSantis is evil…”
I’ll say it, then. DeSantis is evil.
Just another low-character, mediocre political climber who was in the right place at the right time, with DJT’s endorsement.
He’s a fool to throw all that away.
Which Governor do you prefer? I see that he is amazing and should remain a Governor. If he can’t say MAGA then he is not for us, but he is doing a better job then any other Governor. If he came out for Trump and ran in 2028 he would have 80 million votes!
And some refer to him as “DeSatan”…a friend who moved to Florida right before the Fauci/Gates/China virus was released, was supremely pissed when DeSatan closed the beaches. People were actually arrested for being in the fresh air on the beach. There ARE Floridians who do not like him for various reasons…gun laws, taxes, his silence on the illegal Mara-Lago raid, etc
I watched the whole Tucker speech earlier this evening. He said he had been in Episcopalian until about two years ago. He said that the Episcopal Church is now run by pagans. I think Tucker has awoken Ed to the idea that the world is overcome with this evil. He may be a changed man, and if he was controlled opposition, I don’t think he is now.
Also interesting to me in this speech was he pretty much confessed to not being vaccinated and being one of the only ones in his profession that didn’t bow down to the mandate.
I have nothing against Tucker personally. I don’t trust the FAUX news network that he works for. Their leash is notoriously short. Just ask Bill O’Reilly and Lou Dobbs.
BOR was a pompous snooze and I was happy to see him go. Lou Dobbs was a real loss. I divorced FNC on Super Thursday2020, but stayed with FBC for Dobbs, until they cut him. Trish was good too and they cut her because she questioned the plandemic.
I have 100% certain evidence that Tucker works with people in the CIA, NSA. It seems possible that there are different and perhaps clashing factions within these agencies, but people need to accept that he is one of them.
False.
What do you mean by “works with”?
He colludes in conspiratorial efforts? He violates privacy laws? He’s covertly paid by these three letter orgs? All possible. But your post is empty innuendo.
I think I saw an article recently that said DC was one of the highest non-vaxxed areas in the country. I was floored.
when vaxing first started and there were high profile getting “vaxed” on camera, I said then that they were getting saline. If they weren’t why are they still alive?
Not yanking your chain. That said. I find that hard to believe given the demographics of Washington DC.
Do you instead mean the National Capital Region? Or are you referring to Congress, etc. (TPTB).
Very good post!
Captured my mindset exactly.
Perhaps we MAGA voters have already made up our minds and don’t need no
stinkin polls, Tucker Carlson videos, etc. in order to make up our minds.
I voted for Bush, Bush Jr, Dole, McCain, Romney. I am awake now. Physically, mentally, I can never vote for Ron D. It is what it is, just cannot do it any longer.
This Canadian thanks you!
President Trump and only President Trump.
Betrayal should never be rewarded.
Geez..
“Betrayal should never be rewarded.”
100%
I too am done with the false hope of illusions of choice. Trump is the only path forward to live as freemen.
For Carlson, riding along on the inside, this all may be an entertaining intellectual pursuit. No matter the outcome he will, I’m certain, live a life of privilege, wealth and relative freedom. Whether it be de Santis or Newsome who the globlists choose to install, the rest of us, will have to decide to live as corporatist slaves or die fighting.
“I too am done with the false hope of illusions of choice. ”
I’m done with the false hope that we are begin given a choice in elections. Right now it looks to me like the other side will cheat again and no matter how many votes Trump gets, his opponent will get 10 million more. And there will be no governmental authority that will stop or correct such an injustice. Because nothing has been done. to prevent that since 2020. Or can be done given the control democRATS and the UNIPARTY already have. What happened in Arizona (and elsewhere) in 2022 is proof of that. I personally think the only path forward to live as freemen will involve the 2nd Amendment, and hat will require that many of us show the will and fortitude that our Founders displayed … and take the risks they took. Just saying …
Trump would not be running unless he believes there is an electoral path forward. If there is not, we are indeed left only with the cartridge box.
What worries me is that he was fooled (badly) once. Who says he can’t be fooled again? I don’t see the electoral path forward when we can’t even win Arizona … with this economy, with illegals flooding the border, with the insane Covid policies of the democRATS, with all the evidence showing they cheated in 2020, with the Ukraine nonsense, and with everything else that has come out about them the past 2 years.
He wasn’t fooled, we were robbed.
Every citizen that voted for him was cheated by way of massive election fraud.
How exactly should he have prevented the theft?
Be specific.
This will end, when citizens have had enough.
We are getting there in double quick time.
this will end when stupid people cease believing that all our
troubles are the result of one man
Floridian here. Voted for DeSantis in 2018, but not 2022.
In my book, his collusion with the Establishment at the national level negates any achievements he has made at the state level.
I’m relieved that DeSantis was re-elected Governor. He will continue to MAGA in Florida, if only to burnish his bonafides as a presidential contender. Works for me.. as long as he is never President.
As long as he never succeeds in thwarting PDJT.
That is the goal, losing is a win if it takes our man out.
Tucker knows what we know and more of what DeSantis and other Rinos here in Florida are up to and who is filling DeSantis with $$$ and he should have went into that conversation.
Tucker works for Fox. He probably is forbidden by them to endorse Trump outright. Now if he endorsed DeSantis they would be very happy with him. But it sounds to me from other things he said that he wants to be morally correct rather than toe the line. He has a voice. If Fox fires him he will still have a voice if he’s moral but not looking to be fired just yet. IMO
I followed Lou Dobs to the podcast he started (very enjoyable) and if Tucker walks I will follow him to whatever outlet he decides to begin.
It’s all part of keeping the fledgling alternate media burgeoning and the Pravda media tanking.
Refreshingly authentic.
I agree.
We need more people to be like this!
Ironic that he gave an Trump interview style answer.
I loved Tuckers comment when describing his trying to interview President Trump. Tucker said that you can get on the Trump Train but you can’t steer it.
Yes that was perfect!
Huh? I still don’t like Tricker. That video did nothing for me.
BTW, on the subject of Tucker Carlson’s broadcast about the CIA and its involvement in the JFK assassination:
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.: “The most courageous newscast in 60 years. The CIA’s murder of my uncle was a successful coup d’état from which are democracy has never recovered.”
Exactly right.
REPUBLIC, Robert. NOT “democracy”. Ugh.
Thank you for that. I have not watched the broadcast yet. I get my “TV” on-line after the fact.
I am grateful that Tucker Carlson is using his platform to expose the mainstream public to as much truth as he can. He could stay silent, but has chosen not to, in spite of the tightrope he must walk.
Interesting interview. Tucker continues to impress and surprise.
That being said, I have a jpeg / gif that I copied from an article in American Greatness about three or four weeks ago that displays the electoral map reality of current election rigging by Democrats. There is no way to get to 270 electoral votes within the current system.
Unfortunately, I have not figured out how to load that jpeg / gif to CTH comments. All I can say is that unless the five or six battleground states substantively change their voting laws, no Republican will win the presidency again–not Trump, not DeSantis, no one.
That is our reality–that is what we must deal with.
Thanks.
You have done a great job of defining MAGAs winning strategy for future elections ……..
Work at the state and local level to get rid of the computers involved in the election process; voting day, not week or month; paper ballots; very, very, very limited mail in ballots for the truly needy; no outside $$ to administer the elections, …….
The time to start on that “to-do-list” is NOW!
Ballots ONLY for ACTIVE military overseas!
Everyone else—-GET OFF YOUR A$$ and VOTE IN PERSON!
PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The battleground states may not ending up being THE battleground
Yes. Water seeks a level. Block it in new places and it gushes out in others.

Maximus, sadly I agree with you. Right now it’s baked in that the Commie Dems will win. And now Ratsenberger (I know Raffensberger) is trying to push rank choice voting in GA. That will permanently destroy the GOPe in GA. Just like Alaska. Next you know that’s the direction for AZ.
Yes DeSantis is doing a decent job as governor, all the more noticable because so many governors are selling out their constituents, but between RDS and DJT only one hasn’t been bought and only one has vast experience in domestic and international business and only one has the moxie to change a skyline, recover from financial disaster, and swim against the tide and prevail because he feels it is his calling.

Ron DeSantis is finished. Once his role in the sabotage of the midterms comes out, he’ll be just as if not less viable than Mike Pence.
Governor DeSantis’ comments following the Jan. 6, 2021 election protests in the U.S. Capitol are particularly problematic. He refused to stand with the patriotic Stop the Steal protesters that day and applauded as the unconstitutional, overreaching federal probe that destroyed their rights.
“I actually am glad to see some of these people being arrested from the DC thing because I think the prosecutions will really make a difference,” he said shortly after the Jan. 6 protest. “I think it was a really unfortunate thing.”
Even more shamefully, DeSantis defended the Capitol Police jackboots who acted as Nancy Pelosi’s personal Gestapo. He has also allowed Capitol Police to come into Florida and set up illegal spying operations on patriots in his state without doing a thing to stop them.
Verdict: Mediocre governor but definitely not ready for prime time…
… and not MAGA presidential material.

This ended as Tucker said he was putting his ignorance on display…and then the clip cut out. Did I miss anything?
Is Trump going into the 3-D chess mode again by endorsing McCarthy for House Speaker?
It’s possible. As I said elsewhere on this thread – he knows perfectly well that many of the swamp RINOs won’t vote for anyone he endorses.
Loved Tucker’s comment about PDJT’s assessment of people. I have always noticed and admired his uncanny ability to do that. (Wondered how it didn’t translate into hiring, too)
TRUMP 2024——the ornament is on our tree!👍🏻🇺🇸👍🏻🇺🇸👍🏻🇺🇸
Because this is not President Trump business where he is the boss and
can just hire/fire whoever he want cuz he is the final boss. IN Governement he needs
people to approve his picks. He can;t just appoint them.. and they refused his
picks so he had to pick from the approved list..
^This!^ He never ever had the hiring/firing authority, in reality.
He did it once with Comey and then was de facto prevented from ever doing so again.
A President does have firing authority.
I think De Santis should stay out of the 2024 election, which will surpass even these midterms for vote fraud, carry his State for Trump, and be ready for whatever comes afterward….
We STILL need MI, WI. PA, etc. Can’t see how.
I don’t know how Trump got through those 4 years. He is supposed to have such a huge ego! Once when he said take the guns and then go get warrant —which was stupid to say and he got a lot of flack for as well he should have. 4th amendment rights for some but not for all is a constitutional NO NO. But all in all, he is a breath of fresh air —definitely needed then and now.
Thank you for giving us this post, SD!
“Secery abets Evil” if ever there was a money quote, that one at minute 4:04 is in the top 5 of all time.
Gah, spelling error. Secrecy. Boo on me.
Sundance’s kindly-provided edit function is my friend – but it requires re-reading carefully before moving on and letting the time limit expire.
That was authentic, almost like Tucker had a few drinks first, before he went on stage. He lives in Maine. He did not vax. He likes President Trump. He is calling out the intel agencies for Kennedy’s assasination.
We need more like Tucker.
I’m pretty sure he lives in Florida now, at least part of the time. He is meant to said so in that speech. If he lives where I read he lives that hurricane Ian came pretty close.
I actually prefer that most people, including myself, don’t know where Tucker lives.
Ian and Nicole cut wide swaths across the state. Thankfully, most of the state was not leveled like Sundance’s home area. But, many, many Floridians had damage that is not in the news. I lost fencing and many in my neighborhood lost much more fencing than I did. Somebody’s trampoline went flying around the neighborhood. A neighbor’s makeshift carport was destroyed. I am on the central Florida East coast. We barely experienced cat 1 winds. North of me in Volusia county, the flooding was dangerous and damaging.
I live in Florida also, on the Treasure Coast. During Ian a huge oak limb came down right next to my air conditioner outside and there were branches everywhere. During Nicole our beach was terribly eroded but I didn’t even hear the wind really. Never lost power during either one.
I do have friends that live on Little Gasparilla Island that had damage to their condo which is unlivable at the moment.
Try again, with more emphasis, like “THE WALLS ARE CLOSING IN ON HIM!”
LOL. Or, “This is the end of the line for Trump now for sure.”
The deep state has nothing on Trump. They have tried for 6 years to get Trump and even made things up about Trump. What are you talking about?
GWP has a post that Trump wants McCarthy for Speaker, that Kevin Luntz deserves a chance. ??????? WTF?
He knows the GOPe plays dirty. If they can’t have their guy, McCarthy, they will pretend to be surprised when they are outflanked by the Democrats and RINOs. With some backroom deal they could maneuver to allow the House leadership position to be snatched up by some “moderate” democrat. That would be disastrous for the country. So, unfortunately, it’s McCarthy or He11 ?
Hope not. UGH
I’ve said a million times Trump will go down in history as a great President if for no other reason than he was a massive red pill that exposed the truth. He made them so crazy the stopped even trying to hide how corrupt the whole system has become from top to bottom. He got them to rip the mask off. Welcome to real World.
Predictions are difficult to make. Especially about the future.

Are you still worried about the trading cards? Relax. President Trump is merely trolling those who think they can take him down. The rest of us already know that our very stable genius is a super hero! We’ve always known that!
Yep, and raising money which can not be traced or touched. I was thinking, perhaps hoping, that there was a message in the release of the cards…say a TRUMP card? His staff seemed to be big into messages, like Scavino’s aerial picture of cross-roads. (can’t find it now)
Very astute observations. The guy writes his own stuff.
Bravo.
I was fortunate enough to be there tonight working that event. The more I learn about Tucker the more I respect and admire him. And tonight he made clear his belief in God (Christ) which just made it all the better.
Sundance and Tucker are my two favorite sources of wisdom, not just news, about the world we now live in. Can’t imagine navigating this trip at this point in history without either. 🙏
Thank God for sending both at this time.
Wow! ended up rewinding and listening to his entire speech (at the 2hr 21 min mark), glad I did; I think he really did have an eye-opening experience into what’s happening in this country. The honesty is refreshing.
He said a lot of good things tonight. Stuff he’s not allowed to say on Fox. He’s a smart guy who sees what’s going on in DC. He gets it. Not sure if he figured it out on his own or if he’s been reading Sundance’s brilliant commentary.
His writers read all over, especially this site.
I disagree with you Flyover. Cripe the Deep State has been sniffing in Trump’s underwear to get a high. And how’s that working out for them? It isn’t and won’t.
Ya think Tucker is a treeper? Tucker for president. Yes, I to am glad Governor DeSantis is our Florida governor. My support and my donations and vote go to DJT.
Both are great candidates. I will go with Trump because he made me wealthy through my 401k and because the forever American wars must be ended.
“Mr. Voted for TPP” will never pass the smell test in the rust belt.
People will figure out DeSantis is a rino backed by globalists.
Tucker is talking about that stuff people say he never talks about…
I wonder if Tucker will ever reveal why he was told not to talk about the coup in 2020.
10,558,061 views Nov 9, 2020 ‘Tucker Carlson Tonight’ host reacts to 2020 election results, says polling errors ‘amounted to voter suppression’. 10s of millions of American’s suspect the election was stolen from them…
Tucker: We heard you. It’s hard to trust anything. Here’s what we know.
DeSantis is being pushed on us in a very well plotted out deceitful scheme.
And more than that –
The scheme specifically involves a purposeful undermining of President Trump and MAGA.
There is nothing organic or grass roots about DeSantis running for president –
He is an establishment selection. Period.
As part of this, it is a calculated strategy that DeSantis is being interjected into every poll–
always positioned in “2nd place” –
as if he earned it–
And made to appear to be gaining very quickly on President Trump month to month.
I don’t buy it.
The deceitfulness as well as the controlling nature of what they are trying to pull off is something I fully reject.
And unless DeSantis completely backs out and does what is right –
I have zero respect for him–
And will have nothing to do with him.
No interest in forced “unity”or alignment with GOPe.
