There is a clip floating around of Trump on with Tucker Carlson last night. It's a perfect example of why I say conservative primary voters need to hold Trump to standards and think long and hard about the general election. Donald Trump, who is running to be the presidential nominee for the GOP, sings the praises of California's progressive globalist governor Gavin Newsom. Because Gavin said nice things about him.
CONTEXT MATTERS. Prior to this clip, Trump said a lot of conservative things that Ron DeSantis, Nikki Haley, and Vivek Ramaswamy (and starting today, Tim Scott) also say. Trump also said of Gavin. "You have a very ambitious guy in California but he's done a terrible job with the state."
Keep that context in mind. Also, keep in mind the context of if ANY OTHER REPUBLICAN said that and then followed up with this:
Even Tucker Carlson, who thought he tossed Trump a lay-up, was all like:
Ron DeSantis is my guy. If DeSantis ever said this exact same thing of Gavin Newsom -- who is pro-abortion, anti-gun, pro-lockdowns, anti-energy independence, pro-eliminating fossil fuels while also limiting when people can charge their electric cars, pro-illegal immigration, pro-genital mutilation, anti-protecting girls' sports, and pro-sexualizing children in public schools -- DeSantis would not be my guy anymore. He would go in time out.
Newsom is also touring America not only attacking Ron DeSantis (something he and Trump are brothers-in-arms over) but attacking every conservative reform we have fought for over the past few years. That's the guy who Trump has always gotten along with because Newsom would blow smoke up his ass.
"That's why I could never hit [Newsom] because he was so nice to me."
All it would take is for Democrats to pull their heads out of their asses and instead of attacking Trump or sending the feds after him, start saying nice things about Trump. Run commercials on Fox News "only someone as handsome as Trump would have a big enough brain to legalize abortion on demand and socialize the healthcare industry."
Conservatives will be making a huge mistake if they don't take advantage of the primary. And not just settle for the guy who says it's his turn and he deserves it.
