This kind of stupidity is why I stopped reading CT.

So am I to make it out that Ron is leading from behind? So someone shoots the king you wait and see just how badly wounded he is before you do something. Especially when it’s in your backyard and you own every freaking inch of real estate in that state.

No. Ron is waiting to get more FACTS before making a FURTHER statement. He doesn’t want to join the talking heads, media blabbermouths, speculators and agenda driven idiots while information is still coming out. His statement was correct and supported Trump. Trump is not wounded - to the contrary.Go have a nice cold beer and relax.

Trump also doesn’t have to indenture himself to big money donors.

OK I feel so much better now the next time you talk to Ron tell him I love him I really do. As a matter fact I want him to be the first American of Italian descent to become President of the United States but he’s going to have to exhibit a little more enthusiasm and drive and command of the situation before he gets my full attention.

That tops the list and why they hate him so much. They have no control ver min with their donations.

DeSantis is a politician. Is he a Patriot FIRST putting America AHEAD of his political career?

DeSantis has a net worth of $300k and change. He can't afford to go up against the federal legal system. This is why I have always thought of him as a VP candidate and not a legitimate Presidential candidate. He needs more time navigating the National Press on national issues before he will be ready for President.

There may also be a conflict of his position as Governor. I would find it hard to believe that the FBI did not notify the Governor and State Police of their intention to RAID Mar-a-lago. He may feel that his hands are tied by the fact he had to cooperate with the whole charade.

I would hope that he sent letters of criticism to FBI chief Wray, AJ Garland and President Brandon, immediately upon notification of their intent. Did he even place a call to the President when he found out?

If he wasn't notified then this looks really bad for him not to complain in an official capacity to said federal officials. I mean really a former President is raided in his state and he received no prior notification?

Don't get me wrong he's a great Governor. But he seems to have made a mistake somewhere along the line on this one.

You post makes me more wary of DeSamtis, who may feel safe in his current position, but not reliable if put in the position of standing against the array of Leftist might, opposition, and flame throwing.

Unlike Trump who had no political career to lose, DeSantis may not be willing or able to lose his political career which is EXACTLY what is needed here, not unlike out Founders who were willing to give up “our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor” (The Declaration of Independence).

Sometimes we need to be willing to give up everything for freedom and independence. God help us to do just that.

Thinking some more about your comment. The raid happened in Florida. And DeSantis can throw some weight around in Florida. But he’s relatively quiet still.
