7) recently having warmonger John Bolton promote him...
A solid forecast of controversies that DeSantis will face in the near future.
Here come the attack dogs.
“DeSantis is Trump, without the baggage.”
sorry, but that is a false narrative.
No one said DeSantis was Trump without the “baggage”, they Say that DeSantis is Trump without the tweets. Trumps tendency to speak before thinking things through is his greatest flaw, something specifically that Desantis doesn’t do. DeSantis is a more “polished” version of Trump, one less prone to gaffs in other words.
DeSantis is in the neocon camp.
“including force feeding detainees through a nasal feeding tube pushed down their throats”
This procedure’s done in every hospital everyday from the very old to neonatal babie
And, oh yeah, without the baggage.
DeSantis is Trump with competence. No one cares about “baggage”.
DeSantis is fine for 2028.
I’ll bet that the dems have already sent out their operatives to find anyone who will say something about Desantis. They will find, or pay someone to say he pulled their pigtails in third grade.
They will paint a false picture of him and the entire left will pretend the picture is true.
Meanwhile true dirt about dems is suppressed.
Everybody has baggage
Seeing as most of President Trump’s so-called baggage was created by the criminal dems (which includes their willing accomplices in the media), what makes anyone think that lots of the same baggage will not be whipped for for DeSantis, if he runs?
Rehearsing the coed story? There are no sexual assault accusations that I’ve heard.
Fast forward to the Trump era, and the press discovered their love for McStain again.

The message is Republicans should be attacking other Republicans, and let Democrats do whatever they want.
The DeSantis, all the free republic fan boys are drooling over, is not the DeSantis who will be running for president. 30 seconds after he secures the nomination he is going to undergo a proctological exam like no one can imagine. The dirt is going to start to surface. There isn’t anything the media can say about Trump that is going to change anyone’s opinion of him. There are things the media can say that will change voters opinions of DeSantis. With that in mind, I think DeSantis is the weaker candidate.
The message is: anyone who lifts a finger to stop vote fraud must be destroyed.
I posted on the “party” issue on another thread:

I am quoting myself here:
There’s some serious concern whether DeSantis is a pedo “ groomer”.
Completely illegitimate. I posted about this on another thread:
From Wikipedia: Contrary to popular belief, only a few states prohibit minors and young adults from consuming alcohol in private settings.
I went to prep school in Connecticut when the age was 18 and just starting to be raised. There were parties at students’ houses with underage drinkers.
The “BAD” parties were the ones when the parents were out of town for the weekend and the son invites 100 people over and there’s lots of drugs, beer bongs, Everclear, etc.. At one such party, the kid was caught because some of his guests stole the silverware, earning him the nickname “Silver” from then on.
The “GOOD” ones had the parents supervising. Numbers were limited, guests lists were curated. Drinking was kept within bounds. Behavior was better, and any drug use was done out of sight.
Almost half of the prep school teachers were young men working on a Masters or just taking the prep school teaching gig until something better came along. A small number of those became “lifers”, their wives consigned to Dorm Mom duties, and the teachers themselves to lots of extra sports coaching.
I don’t recall a teacher attending one of these parties, but it wouldn’t have been the end of the world if one did. And yes, sometimes the young girls gravitated towards such teachers, and sometimes the wives were annoyed.
When the hosts of the party is the girl salutorian’s Methodist Pastor father and mother, it is hard to be too scandalized.
The fact is that some of the Seniors and Juniors could get dolled up, go for a night on the town with such a teacher, and it would just look like an attractive young adult couple enjoying each other’s company. My wife was 19 when I married her. We married in Canada, so she obtained the liquor license. Some girls don’t finish high school until 19. The year I graduated I went to a debutante ball held in honor of a hard-working young woman who wound up becoming a judge. Her family was of the urban black evangelical variety and she was a credit to her family, which is why they sprung for an expensive party at the New Haven Park Plaza. There was drinking, and no carding.
No one was scandalized. Not even in Puritan New England.
Trump was a great President. He still has my support, but this is a bad attack that I would expect from a Roundhead like Christine Todd-Whitman.
Time will tell, but if I wanted a saint or moral icon, I’d never have voted for Trump.
Baggage, schmaggege...I want a president who believes in America first and the MAGA agenda, who surrounds himself with others who do the same, and who has the political skills to implement it with a minimum of distractions.
On that basis, I’m going to watch and see who the best choice turns out to be, because unlike many FReepers I can’t predict the future.
Let’s face it, the Left will go full throttle after any Republican running for POTUS. You could be Mary Poppins and it would not matter. They will dig up what you did in elementary school if necessary.
