Donald Trump’s Presidential Election in 2016 was predicated on sweeping a trio of states (Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin) known as the “blue wall” because they had been Democratic holds for decades otherwise.
In 2024, these states combine for 44 of the 270 electoral votes necessary to win the election. And Trump’s former rival, Gov. Ron DeSantis, is expressing “concern” that Kamala Harris will do what Joe Biden did and hold all three, potentially narrowing Trump’s path to the White House.
“I would say the concern would just simply be, you know, to win, he can’t just win Georgia, Arizona, Nevada and North Carolina. He’s got to win one of Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan,” DeSantis told Ben Shapiro this week.
“Those did not perform well for us in the Midterms, different than a Presidential Election, but what was going on in those states that we did so bad as Republicans and are we going to be able to get the turnout to be able to win one of those? You know, I think ultimately he’s in a good position to do that, but that was really what the election’s (going to come down to),” DeSantis added.
DeSantis has “doubt” that Harris can win “North Carolina and Georgia,” arguing that “she’s the most liberal candidate that’s ever been put up by the Democratic Party.”
“I know the demographics and those states have changed a little bit,” DeSantis acknowledged. “But I just don’t think that she’s going to do it. So she’s got to win all three of those (Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin). Donald Trump needs to win one of those.”
RealClearPolitics shows Harris is up by less than a point in the average Wisconsin and Michigan poll, while Trump is up by less than a point in the average Pennsylvania survey. These states look to be as closely contested as they were the last two times Trump was on the November ballot.
If Harris sweeps all three, she will have the 270 electoral votes necessary to win, assuming her campaign doesn’t collapse in another state where victory is expected.

There should be absolutely no shock or surprise that a hateful spiteful autocratic Republican convicted felon candidate who has deliberately disenfranchised every ethnic group and minority faction in America would lose to a highly qualified intelligent caring Democrat.

Okay you old fool. I’m going to speak very slooooooowly soooooo youuuuuuuu can understand. Early in the most incompetent administration in a lifetime, Joe Biden tasked Kammy with the Southern Border. Soooooooooo. How did she do? You either have amnesia or are senile like Joe. Now besides that look at how she dodges interviews or controls them or shows up late. Without a teleprompter it all gets edited. She is an empty vessel.

The American Way is to compromise, which Biden did on the border deal that gave MAGAs most of what they wanted. Yet, because one preening ex-President told Congressional MAGAs to nix the measure, it never came to a vote.
Of course, MAGA loyalists aren’t just voting to take back control of the executive branch, they are desperate to keep DJT out of the slammer.

Ron and DonOLD’s “whether they like it or not” approach does not play well with people who value real and true freedom. Contrary to what they think and believe, America has not been a “bad girl and does not need a good spanking from daddy.”
Just ask the people in Iowa how much they liked what Ron was trying to sell.

Who is the majority who love DeSantis??? Speak for yourself and why might Trump not win? Oh, for millions of reasons and comments and actions he and his associates continually say and do! Who wants women to be subservient and without a vote or any rights–who wants all minorities to be persecuted and demeaned–who wants all healthcare options to be removed? Who wants our country to go back to being daily chaos without anyone in charge with a “lick of sense.”? Who wants education to go down the “tube” so the leaders can more easily control the masses? Who wants former leaders to be executed just for expressing their own views? Maybe there are a majority who are tired of the dictatorial group, who could care less for the common man and woman and who just want the rich and powerful to be in control of everything!!

I’ll answer your first question. Reference the 2022 Gubernatorial election in Florida. Check the results. DeSantis won easily.

Charlie Crist was a weak candidate, democrats stayed home and didn’t want to vote, DeSantis was extremely popular because of his COVID policies and we only had a 15 week abortion ban in place. But this is 2024 not 2022 and I don’t think many people like the actions DeSantis has taken.
I Am Garbage
November 1, 2024 at 5:17 pm
Abortion is a big deal with the activist Democrats. Most males and females I talk to are concerned with the economy and Kammy’s run away immigration. By the way DeSantis would win again if allowed to run for a third term he is that strong of a candidate in Florida.
MH/Duuuval
November 2, 2024 at 1:06 pm
You are talking to females, but not listening. They are registering and voting at higher numbers than ever, and perhaps will kick DJT in the nuts rather than allow him to grab them by their private parts.
cassandra was right
November 2, 2024 at 2:05 pm
LOL..you think he’d win now? He got 3.7% of the Florida 2024 primary vote! Nikki beat him! In 2022 few people believed Desantis would demand a nearly total abortion ban, and fewer still believed he would betray Trump by running against him. See the FP comments if you don’t remember.

When is Ron going to start getting concerned about the women who are being denied abortions that he insists they should receive under his ban? Have there been any investigations? Have any doctors been arrested? Has he signed any laws criminalizing refusal to provide abortion care to cancer patients like “Caroline” or to those with life and health threatening pregnancies? He knows but does nothing? That’s another reason Amendment 4 is needed.
YES on 4!

No matter the cost eh? This is a poorly written amendment that does not figure the cost. It is open ended. Designed purely to poke DeSantis and Trump in the eye. One thing is for sure many lawyers will get rich and our property taxes will foot the bill. If it passes.

Good evening Sage Patriots,
Let not your hearts be troubled as what Ron, THE RONALD, is playing on The Dook 4 Brains Lefty’s is SAGE 4 LEVEL CHESS.
THE BACKSTORY:
See America, The Dook 4 Brains Lefty’s, like nothing more than staying home and wanking their johnsons.
So by Ron throwing up this fake Blue Wall The Dook 4 Brains Lefty’s will think their voteing is not neccessary in these battle ground states.
THEREFORE:
The Dook 4 Brains Lefty’s, thinking their vote is not necessary, will thus automatically default to their First Love … which is, of course, staying home and wanking their johnsons.
America this is Sage 4 level chess shear Genius By Ron , THE RONALD, Desantis as there is nothing the Dook 4 Brains Lefty’s adore more than staying home and wanking their johnsons.
IN CLOSING:
Thank you America and all Sage Patriots still need to get out and vote while the Dook 4 Brains Lefty’s are home wanking their johnsons.
FINALLY:
All Sage Patriots are now free to “Relax Their Political Sphincters”.

But our studies indicate both Male & Female Dook 4 Brains Leftys would rather stay at home and wank their (male) johnsons & their (female) pudendoms rather than leaving their “Wanking Rooms” and driving all the way over to the voting place.
This is a 100% result of the Dook 4 Brains Leftist Reaction to The Covid Lock-Down and the Lefty’s Obsession with Masturbation (wanking).
