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.
I said in that link - post all the truths you want to.
But if you or Sundance Pubbie go to posting lies from these disreputable blogs - we will call you out on them.
“They need to debate.”
Why is that? Trump has his record, he has won two elections, and all the rest only have their carefully memorized talking points.
Why should Trump walk on stage and lend credibility to them as co-equals when they are not. It is make-believe.
DeSantis claims he can do Trump better? Why would you accept that he can? It is comical.
No it doesn't. You're lying.
I have expressed my anger and disdain continuously at the stolen election for the last three years. You can check my history. And then you should apologize. You won't, but you should.
I'm not even that concerned about DeSantis anymore. They guy's lost me. And I am in Trump's corner for now. But they meaning the top 4 or 5 contenders should be competent enough to face each other and make their case.
Only a faggot runs away from a fight.
There is no “coronation.”
Trump is being attached every single second of every single day, and he keeps fighting.
Any of the other candidates you can name have a cartel of lobbyists they are beholden to.
You’re idea of a “coronation” is perverted.
You want to be entertained.
Sigh....
You are lying about things, and people can go to the link you previously posted to see you are.
You are mis-representing the comment SoConPubbie posted.
And, I was asking for evidence that national pulse posts false information, that you said in post 11.
It is just an idea, at this point, isn't it.
Trump collected $250 million to contest the election, but never used any of that money to actually do that, according to reports.
All of his current staff told him he lost the election, according to the testimony on record. Apparently only Giuliana told him he should fight it, but Trump never even paid Giuliana for his 2020 legal services according to reports, in the end, saying he was unworthy of it.
Trump apparently hired two firms to investigate whether the election was stolen, and both reported back, they couldn't really find anything. At least nothing to overturn the results.
Which is likely why Trump went and hid in February 2021, rather than mount any actual contest of the election, which was the point he finally had legal standing to contest it.
So, as you said, it's "an idea" at this point. One that was never followed up on.
someone posted a comment to another article in recent weeks that they helped work to get Ron elected and were told the night he won that he planned to run for President. they weren’t happy about it.
Articulately stated.
Who cares
As usual you have a comprehension problem
looks who’s acting like a child thinking he can say it, and have his way.
Trump should sit it out til it narrows to 1-2, if he debates them at all.
They are unproven. Trump has shown himself as president which did much good for overwhelming majority of people in the country. the only ones who hated what Trump was working to do were the corrupt leaders, liars, crooks etc in society that don’t like the USA to begin with and just want to steal from it’s citizens.
Because that is what you do. Who on this thread did not hear his supporters cheering his victory in 2022? They were shouting “2 more years! 2 more years!” They knew and you did too.

No reason to stand in a sea of ankle-biters. Let 2-3 people emerge and give one debate.
>>”Only a faggot runs away from a fight.”
Only a fool helps his opposition by giving them more visibility than they can generate on their own. Trump’s opponents need him to attend the debates. Trump doesn’t need them. As a smart negotiator, Trump understands this.
The Governor sat for an hour long interview with Megyn Kelly today. Will be released tomorrow around noon. Just fyi.
I like DeSantis as the Governor of Florida, but I don’t trust him in the run for president. Most of his donations are from globalists and his run could be a sleeper run for them.
