+1 for DeSantis.
While I agree with this sentiment 100% I cannot and will not ignore exactly Who is behind Desantis.
Who it is is pouring money into his pending campaign and those funding sources, Never-Trumpers, and their anti-MAGA roots.
All those who choose to ignore this are being played for fools. Others, not fools, are willingly complicit.
“ Apparently, DeSantis and Trump both have similar positions on the war in Ukraine and both are odds with neocons and those obsessed with fighting a proxy war with Russia.”
**********************************************************
That’s because they are BOTH America-First patriots. There will be many warmongering neocon candidates in the 2024 Republican primary.
He is right about this.
And it’s going to be the defining issue.
It’s also illustrative of just how few Republican rank and file support Ukraine in this war.
Any Republican who advocates continued material support...or, worse escalation...is dead politically this cycle.
DeSantis is getting a lot of money from former Trump donors. Desantis has a path to the White House. Trump does not.
In related news, a local GOPee print shop was seen burning “DeSantis 2024” signs out back, and rumor has it that they are designing a sign that says, “Karl Rove ‘24: The Whiteboad’s Choice” with the full backing of DeSantis’s big donors.
Any Republican who advocates continued material support...or, worse escalation...is dead politically this cycle.

Let the Democrats defend sending money, materials, and potentially lives to die for more globalist projects.
Those who support DeSantis have the goal of defeating Trump and DeSantis. They want DeSantis to win the primary and Newsom the general election.
It is not.
We’ve given a nine-digit amount to Ukraine already. Enough is enough.
Zelenskyy is talking about a $750,000,000,000 plan to rebuild Ukraine after the war, for a country whose national GDP was $200 billion in 2021.
That makes no sense. Trump is objectively weaker than DeSantis in a national general election in 2024.
“Who it is is pouring money into his pending campaign and those funding sources, Never-Trumpers, and their anti-MAGA roots.”
Can you hook me up with references on that?
I actually got dumber reading your comment.
I agree with both Trump & DeSantis: American First.
That said, the time to stop Russia is long past due. It should have been done by President Obama who stood idly by as Putin annexed Crimea in 2014.
(Trump is objectively weaker than DeSantis in a national general election in 2024.)
How so?
Completely backwards. Many Trump supporters on here (including one just a few minutes ago) have said they would rather have Newsome than DeSantis, but no DeSantis supporter has said they would rather have Newsome than Trump.
That's because most DeSantis supporters just clearly see him as more conservative than Trump, so if not DeSantis, then Trump is the closest to being conservative.
For the Trump supporters saying they'd rather have Newsome than DeSantis, in their mind it's either Trump, or burn the whole country down in spite.
But, but, but, he’s a globalist neo-con. Talking point de-bunked.
Well put Ron.
