Sunday Talks – Florida Congressman Steube Explains Why the Congressional Delegation Will Not Support DeSantis
The Last Refuge ^ | April 23, 2023 | Sundance

Posted on 04/24/2023 9:20:31 AM PDT by SoConPubbie

An increasingly larger audience is starting to realize what CTH outlined nine months ago as it relates to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. Had he chosen to remain a state leader, hopefully with increased focus on the economic issues that are crushing Floridians, most people would have kept biting their tongue. However, once he openly began elevating himself beyond his state office, the truth about DeSantis was always going to come out.

In addition to other problems yet to be discussed, the personality characteristics of self-importance, arrogance, grandiosity and dismissal of people he considers less than, are major character defects within people who call themselves ‘leaders’. Everyone in the orbit of Team DeSantis is disposable if they do not elevate his view of himself.

Florida Republican Congressman Greg Steube joins Fox Across America with Jimmy Failla for an interview about why the congressional delegation does not support DeSantis. Steube’s outline of how Team DeSantis ignores everyone until they need something from them is the baseline for how Team DeSantis ignored the entire delegation for five years until they became worried about endorsements.

The error of thinking in regards to Ron DeSantis is not about his viability as a presidential candidate, but in the timing of making that attempt in 2024. Donald Trump shall have either termed out by 2028, or the probability of a fourth run for the presidency by Trump will dip to about the level once held by Harold Stassen.

I like DeSantis, but for now, he needs to remain as governor of Florida.

His election as governor was expected, and frankly, and easy win against a very weak democrat candidate.

DeSantis barely won in 2018 against another very weak candidate.

Florida was already successful before DeSantis became governor, and no doubt would have continued being successful under another republican governor.

Bottom line, his win in November is a bit overrated, and his success as governor are in major part due to a republican legislature which simply rubber stamps most of his policy ideas.

DeSantis needs to build on his record and not let the election win go to his head.

ROFL!

“personality characteristics of self-importance, arrogance, grandiosity and dismissal of people he considers less than, are major character defects within people who call themselves ‘leaders’. Everyone in the orbit of Team DeSantis is disposable if they do not elevate his view of himself.”

Are we talking about Trump?

LOL!

Trump has all these in abundance!

Wow, projection.
