It’s not over: a landslide victory for Trump at the Republican convention

by time news

Far from surrendering: Despite the latest polls showing that he is trailing by a large margin after Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, yesterday (Saturday) former US President Donald Trump won a landslide victory in a survey conducted among the participants of the conservative political action conference, which is mainly associated with the Republican Party.

According to the survey, in which 2000 conference participants participated, Trump won 62 percent of support, compared to only 20 percent for DeSantis. The governor of Florida, by the way, has not yet officially announced his candidacy for the US presidential election to be held in 2024.

Another candidate, Perry Johnson, received only 5 percent support. And who would the conference participants like to see as Trump’s deputy? Carrie Lake, the Republican candidate for governor of Arizona in 2022 received 20 percent in the race for the position of vice president, with DeSantis himself winning only 14 percent.

Trump took advantage of his appearance at the conference yesterday for a speech lasting over an hour and a half in which he excited the audience of his supporters and harshly attacked President Biden but also his friends in the Republican Party. “In 2016, I declared: ‘I am your voice’. Today I add: ‘I am your warrior. I am your justice. And for those who have been wronged or feel betrayed: I am your reward.’

Trump then promised to the cheers of conference participants that “we are going to finish what we started. We started something that was a miracle. We are going to complete the mission, we are going to finish this battle with an ultimate victory. We are going to make America great again.”

Trump then turned to attack members of his own Republican Party, after receiving harsh criticism from some of them in recent weeks. “We’ve had a Republican Party dominated by freaks, neocons, globalists, open borders supporters, and idiots, but we’re never going back to the party of Paul Ryan, Karl Rove and Jeb Bush,” Trump said.

About President Biden he said that “this is the most dangerous time in the history of our country, and Joe Biden is leading us into the abyss of oblivion.”
