I’m definitely disappointed with Trump’s decision here, but to look to guys like DeSantis as the solution is naive IMO. Where was DeSantis all those years in Congress? He never had the guts to challenge Boehner or Ryan because he didn’t want to lose his committee positions. DeSantis was and is a career politician, and career politicians are not the solution. He’s playing the part of a movement conservative now because he’s ambitious, but he can’t fight the system because he’s a part of it.
Ron DeSantis was a member of the Freedom Caucus.
