The headline makes me not want to read the story.

The consequences of the upcoming election are far more important than any one politician’s political future.

Trump is our weapon.

Ron has learned the hard way about who to trust.

He needs to wait until 2028, when all of his RINO endorsements herd themselves in another direction.

lol.

I love DeSantis as my governor and he’d be an amazing president, but he just SUCKS at campaigning... so bad.

He needs another 4 years in the minors. Just not ready and the math says he *cannot beat Trump.

[Codeflier]

Did he ever even announce his candidacy? This obsession with bashing Desantis is strange to me. People on FR attack him more than the Democrats by 10 fold. Weird. Some people have TDS, and now apparently some people have DDS.

Ron DeSantis is not part of the plan for the final takedown of the deep state which is currently underway. He apparently still hasn’t gotten the message but he will.

“This obsession with bashing Desantis is strange to me”

Your not alone......prepare to be attacked

[AAABEST]

I’m a HUGE fan of DeSantis - but, sorry, he’s doing this to himself.

The smartest thing he could have done was stay out and keep looking good. Instead he goes to Iowa etc., making mistakes and bringing his brand down. The way he handled the Bragg circus and other issies has dumb and awkward. Unforced errors and bad consultation.

Someone on his side needs to do some math - he CANNOT overcome Trump for the nomination.

If, as you infer, he’s not running at all, then all of this was just a waste of time and tactical stupidity on his and his people’s part.

This obsession with bashing Desantis is strange to me.

What you call "bashing" most of the rest of us call uncovering Ron's GOP-E/Globalist side.

And it's necessary in order to make a wise choice for President.

This happened once before in my lifetime with GWB.

GWB was sold to us as this "complete" conservative, when in reality, he was good on the Moral issues, but absolutely corrupt on the financial, Globalist, and Deep-State side of things.

Never Again!

"...apparently some people have DDS...."

"Daddy, why does Mickey have those huge ears?"

"To hide the horns, honey..."

LOL

[Timber Rattler]

Has DeSantis declared his candidacy yet?

[Guenevere]

The headline made me want to read the story!

I appreciate DeSantis as Governor……
….no way Jose do I support him as President.

[Tell It Right]

I lean towards Trump and I think for the most part DeSantis has done a wise campaign. He hasn't spent a lot of time and money getting his name out there. Nor has he officially put his hat into the ring, which prevents him from being campaign loser.

But he's done enough to keep his name out there in case anything happens to Trump. IMHO it's wise to keep one's options open, particularly when the front-runner is in his 70's and the unthinkable isn't so far-fetched.

[Boogieman]

If he wants endorsements, DeSantis is actually going to have to declare his candidacy.

[catnipman]

ron should watch and learn this go round and perhaps even join up as VP candidate ...

a miserably failed primary campaign does nothing but diminish his gravitas, particularly when it fails in such a way that exposes his weaknesses, allows the fascist media to pile on, promotes the buffoonery of cheer-leading ultra-RINOs and other assorted anybody-but-Trumpers, displays the ignominy of erstwhile allies deserting him, leads to more flip-flopping, and accumulates other forced and unforced errors ...

[Boogieman]

“he was good on the Moral issues”

And even then, he was mostly just pretending.

[Dilbert San Diego]

On Free Republic, every Republican besides Trump is criticized as being too liberal , or has compromised conservative values, or is a RINO, or is a deep State actor.

Some people on this site, even say they would vote for a Democrat rather than certain Republicans, because such Republicans are too liberal or RINO, etc.

The whisper campaign.

Pssst, look how old Trump is!

Trump is the same age as Biden!

Biden is brain-damaged!

You fill in the blanks.
