Jeb Bush Heaps Praise on Prospect of DeSantis 2024: ‘I Think It Is’ His Opportunity to Seek Higher Office
Breitbart ^ | 25 Feb 2023 | HANNAH BLEAU

Failed Trump challenger Jeb Bush heaped praise upon Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) and spoke kindly of the prospect of the governor throwing his hat into the presidential ring, calling for a “more forward leaning future” and affirming that he believes it is DeSantis’s opportunity to run for higher office.

“There are people in public life that are kind of check the box politicians, and then there are others they want to serve, and Governor DeSantis is one of those,” the former Florida governor said during a Fox Nation special on DeSantis, who has yet to jump into the 2024 presidential ring.

Bush talked about his father, George H.W. Bush, and DeSantis, as both served as the captains of the Yale baseball team. Interviewer Brian Kilmeade noted DeSantis has identified Bush Sr. as someone he looks up to and also asked Bush about how he thought DeSantis responded to criticisms early on during the Chinese coronavirus pandemic, according to clips from the interview.

“They were trying to set him up, and he knew it. And he punched him in the nose,” Bush said, praising DeSantis’s overall response to various crises.

He gets an A for sure,” Bush said, pointing to how the governor responded to Hurricane Ian.

“The fact that he could announce that, for example, the bridge to Sanibel Island, which could be built in record time and open within 10 days I think, is pretty remarkable,” Bush, whom Trump deemed “Low Energy” during the presidential race in 2016, said.

DeSantis has not announced an intention of running in 2024, but speculation continues to arise. When asked if it is DeSantis’s opportunity to run for higher office, Bush offered a sterling stamp of approval.

DeSantis was invited to join trump. He turned him down. Now he won’t declare but he won’t deny. Sounds like tge sleazy side of a lawyer. But it doesn’t orl in his political arena.

DeSantis could be working with trump locking up Florida walking into the wh in 28 but it’s DeSantis’s choice to not do that

That’s how to destroy DeSantis 101.

¡qǝſ and the rest of the establishment only care about one thing - preventing Trump from being the nominee. If it takes a Ron DeSantis to make it happen, so be it.

They are not supporting Ron because they like his politics. They are supporing Ron because in their eyes he is the only viable Trump slayer.

You can’t read between the lines?

A lot of people don’t. They want narration. Turn the sound down and look at the action

What do we know?

Desantis asked Trump for an endorsement for governor. Trump gave it to him.

We can conclude Trump expected the same in return, no more no less. He’s a business man. An honest one.

DeSantis did not give Trump an endorsement in return

We can imagine that Desantis would do the same to anyone, including his voters

Trump tells us that

People let their feelings and narration get in the way. They want to hate Trump and believe the lies. It would be easier. However, when Trump says Desantis let him down there’s not a logical reason to think Trump is lying or over reacting the only reason to pile on is mob think. Media narration. Popular belief

You don’t think Trump asked for the endorsement of the Governor of Florida?

Of course he did.
