Wow. An impressive string of rote tropes against the most successful governor in the country. That’s really something.

But I’ll just pick one: the disloyal jackal. I voted for trump, enthusiastically, twice. I have a sincerely held view he was a man for the moment, and his moment has passed. No one running who was helped by him is morally bound not to run again if they feel similarly.

In response to your other cheap attacks, I’ll say this about DeSantis’ character. He has scrupulously avoided responding to the unprovoked, absolutely gratuitous, and often juvenile attacks Trump has launched in recent months. Loyalty is a two-way street, you know. DeSantis isn’t even running yet, has not criticized Trump, yet he’s the bad guy for not running to a bully’s aid.

DeSantis, through his halfwit “influencers” of dubious loyalty, has engaged in a barely disguised campaign against President Trump and his voters for well over a year. To deny this is to deny the reality of the situation. Fortunately, Ron DeSantis, through his perfidy, has revealed his truth; he will never be President, thankfully.

DeSantis has been careful to avoid doing so himself, ergo no comment on President Trump’s persecution. Instead, he uses thinly veiled surrogates, then claims it isn’t him- I don’t buy it nor should any of you, but caveat emptor I suppose. With Ron DeSantis, you are getting performative (but not substantive) culture wars drive by various liberals slightly mugged by reality. If that is sufficient for you, bueno, but is weak sauce; coupled with Ron’s career politico vibes and status quo attitude, I think is an irrelevant distinction per the self serving perfidy of Mittens, McCain, Bush, et al. But, by all means, do you...I am sure things will get better with another go along get along candidate...

You say desantis isnt even running yet.

Do you not have your eyes open, or wisdom to see, his backers whom he is bought by are cueing him up as he robotically does as told. Yes he hasnt announced yet but that is because he is waiting for the “trump take down” then he can more easily look like savior and step up for the good of the nation and goback on his oath and promise to serve full governor term.

Desantis is a back stabber accepted trumps help to get elected, did little to help/speak up as trump won and was wrongly cheated out of office and now he is silently helping kick trump out of primary. Evil has a hold on him and desantis seems to be allowing it when he should be fighting that !

100% agree.

I also agree with those who say there is no need to run to his defense when nothing has happened yet.

I agree with you 100%. As far as I’m concerned, based on Trump’s and his supporters attacks on DeSantis, he can just let Trump sink .
