Presidential candidate Ron DeSantis has admitted that he and his wife Jill, a.k.a Casey, decided he would make a run at the White House all the way back in November 2020, in little-noticed remarks to Fox News highlighted by The National Pulse editor-in-chief Raheem Kassam.
Asked when he and his wife decided they would betray Donald Trump and throw their proverbial hat in the ring, Governor DeSantis gave a surprising response:
“So, I would say starting in November of 2020, the number one thing I would get on the street is 2024. Our view is, are you the one to beat Biden and actually deliver on this stuff over an eight-year period, to serve two terms? And we came to the conclusion that we were the ones to do it and to get it done, and so, there’s been no looking back.”
“Hold on a minute, November 2020? So everything else, the gubernatorial reelect, all the chit-chat in between, all of the denials, all of the, like, ‘Oh, well, we’re looking at it, we don’t know, we’re not sure’ – all of that turned out to be disingenuous bullshit,” Kassam observed on The Campaign Trail podcast.
Indeed, DeSantis claimed speculation he was mulling a presidential bid was “manufactured” and dismissed it as “nonsense” in July 2021, again denying he was considering it in October, and and yet again as late as August 2022, when he suggested all the chatter around him running was the product of “media obsession”.
These assertions may make DeSantis, already tarnished as treacherous by the former president, look even more untrustworthy now he had disclosed they were never true.
It’s National Pulse. Even worse than National File, at this point.
Legitimately, he is the incumbent, he was ousted by fraud and force of a coup, and it America’s rightful leader. The sooner the GOP embraces that ethos fully, the sooner we steamroller them.
Debates are worthless, and he is right to flip the finger to Ronna’s debate where she didn’t even discuss them with the massive frontrunner.
Let them whither. They have been a complete fake farce for over 20 years.
Are you sure?
Got a link, since I don’t read everything here?
This is Trump we're talking about, who is above any criticism, or concerns, at all!

It’s childish to pine for the “debates” of the last 20 plus years. There really has not been a legitimate one since Reagan was in office. (Possibly excepting the one Perot was in)
They are irrelevant and the repub ankle biters don’t even deserve a seat. And I don’t care, that you don’t care, that I don’t care about these childish cargo cult imitations of debates.
DC chimes in.
No, just pointing out that you (like many Trump apologists) feel that Trump is above reproach, and therefore shouldn’t have to debate like every other candidate for President in memory. He’s special, doncha know.
I actually care about the cargo cults. This guy's attention to detail is admirable:
Here's an Eff For You.
The national pulse isn’t neocon globalist.
Good catch getting that quote exposing these Trump campaign plants, who care nothing about honesty, despite creating 10+ new threads a day. They are the definition of astroturfers.
If the editor is a neocon globalist - so is the blog.
The real issue here, and it is very transparent, is that theFactor, Responsibility2nd, and others don't want anything posted on FreeRepublic that is negative about their boy DeSanctimonious whether it is true or not.
He's saying that several posters here, you included, don't want anything negative posted about desantis
The qualifer 'whether it is true or not' is saying regardless of what the content says.
And that comment is in a thread with an article from theconservativetreehouse.
But the idea of a stolen election, not so much, evidently.
Get Tucker Carlson to moderate the debates.
Neither are neocon globalists.
Data chart from 538, so there is that.
