DeSantis comms director @tarynfenske has rebuked the complaint filed by Trump's Super PAC, calling it “politically motivated" and "inappropriate".
What is INAPPROPRIATE is @GovRonDeSantis violating election laws & FL's Resign To Run law by illegally coordinating with PACS.— Laura Loomer (@LauraLoomer) March 15, 2023

DeSantis is making a poor move by trying to change the Resign to Run law. That protected his state from ambitious subversion by those that will use it in the future and dismantle Florida then possibly the U.S. (if it's not done already).— Dustin Faulkner (@dloydfaulk) March 15, 2023
They can cry all they want to, but they are in violation of the law!
Resign to Run Ron or remain Governor.— sweetness420002🍊 (@sweetness420002) March 15, 2023
Violating election laws is what's "Inappropriate".
Not calling it out would be complicit and aiding the crime.— cheryl Johnson (@cherylJ93231699) March 15, 2023
What a BS article.
To their credit, they don’t even pretend to be unbiased.
The sure fear Trump.
DeSantes, whatever you think of him, really should $h1t or get off the pot.
‘The letter includes as evidence that DeSantis has ... “met with influential figures in early primary states,” “is vetting operatives in early primary states,” and “met with individuals who are likely to play key roles in his presidential campaign.”’
So in other words, DeSantis has done what every other politician does before they decide whether to embark on a presidential campaign?
Trump’s DeSantis Syndrome strikes daily now.
What is the benefit of beating on RDS rather than BiXiden and the Biden Crime Family [protected by the Fey Wray and the Meritless Garland]?
Scum-bucket Democrats have been doing crap like this for eight years, now a Trump super PAC is doing it to DeSantis? The scum-bucket super PAC is just as bad as the Democrats
I was on a forum last night and it was asked “What if Trump and DeSantis are in cahoots”
The idea being that some people simply will never vote for Trump so they both run and DeSantis picks up the Trump haters and then near the end they reconcile, kiss-and-make-up and both camps join forces for a Trump/DeSantis win.
Not entirely a stupid notion, eh?

“May qualify” does not mean an office holder is prohibited from announcing or making preparation to run for another office. The statute actually prohibits a person being a qualified candidate for two different offices if those offices would be occupied at the same time. You can’t be the sheriff and the tax assessor at the same time. As long as DeSantis is not running for governor and president with intent he will be doing both positions at the same time. He is not violating Florida statute
He is running a shadow campaign.
Why does DeSantis come across more and more like Cruz did in 2016? Kinda phony.
So Trump is trying to get DeSantis impeached? This plays into DeSantis’ favor. For all the good Trump has done, a number of Republican voters are open to the argument that Trump’s abrasive personality will turn off just enough voters (Suburban Moms among others) to give Biden a second term by a squeaker.
Utter, vile, disgusting trash. Is there no depth to which Trump’s campaign will sink? This makes “Cruz’s Dad killed Castro” look honorable in contrast.
“The complaint refers to the Sunshine State law that states: “No person may qualify as a candidate for more than one public office, whether federal, state, district, county, or municipal, if the terms or any part thereof run concurrently with each other.”
Says nothing along the lines of “No person may to prepare to run for another office” or even “No person shall seek the nomination for another office.”
After claiming that Cruz wasn’t eligible, Trump is starting to remind me of the Iranian Ayatollahs.
Trump has made it clear he’s going to rule or ruin. If he can’t be the nominee, he’ll pull the while party down.
It doesn’t get any simpler than that.
Trump’s Right again
There are FAR too many idiots on FR these days. The idiots do not read anything, know nothing, and when someone says there is a law they don’t know how to go look for themselves. It is why I just don’t post here much at all anymore. Idiocracy is a documentary anymore.
Here the law, and IT DOES NOT SAY DENSANTIS MUST RESIGN RIGHT NOW! It says he must tell the people he will resign as governor if elected as President. Well, no shit, Sherlock. Of course he would have to.

DeSantis is playing games. Trying to run for President and stay governor of Florida which is specifically against Florida law. He’s acting like another cheap tricks politician, scheming and plotting, or worse yet, weak and indecisive. DeSantis is just burning bridges.
