He’s also a career politician who has never worked a real job, an Ivy League lawyer, and a “decorated” military veteran whose medals were earned while he was a JAG officer.

I have no idea what he’d bring to the White House. I’ll support him if he runs and gets the GOP nomination, but I have a deep-seated distrust of people like this who spend their lives getting groomed for public office.

I will always prefer a guy like Trump who doesn’t need the job and who stands as a total repudiation of the entire political system in Washington.

In Fallujah, Iraq working with SEALs and Green Berets during the deadliest year of the war.

Please don't dismiss his military service. He's not Hunter Biden snorting coke at a stateside desk job after his father bought him a Navy commission. DeSantis was in the sh*t.

Agree. DeSantis’s resume is quite similar to Buttigieg’s. A ticket punched in all the right places.

I’ve never seen DeSantis address the institutional corruption of the GOP in a Trumpian manner. Ever. That’s a huge red flag for me.

I’ll happily vote for DeSantis (again) but I’m also prepared to be disappointed with him. I doubt he’s a historic figure in the manner of Presidents Trump and Reagan.

As opposed to Trump who, oh, managed never to be in any military service.

If that’s a good thing - and FRers act invariably as it is - then Trump is lacking greatly and FRers are incredibly silent about it.

This is what I liked about Trump, the total outsider, not part of the insiders club, who actually did things like build a world wide empire before ever running for office. Not the typical lawyer turned career politician...Same old same old as the country slowly slides over a cliff. I think we've had enough of that bull s**t.

Besides, Trump is owed another shot at this.
