So he lied to the voters of FLA?

It was a “book tour”

I don't have a problem with DeSantis running. I don't even mind the douchebag move of trying to undercut the guy who helped him. Politics is a rough business. Hell, I was an early cheerleader for his run. Great Governor for my childhood state. My problem is that he's proven to be a lousy and uninspiring candidate at the national level. He truly sucks at this. No wonder he had to go, tears in his eyes, simpering to Trump (who I also have problems with) to get him over the finish line.

Still maintain that they (the top 4 or 5 anyway) should debate. The idea of a coronation sickens me.

This got moved to bloggers?

It seems if desantis said this, it isn’t blogging.

I’ve basically said this in posts I’ve made on other threads. Running for President isn’t something you decide overnight. It takes planning, backing, etc., and those things take time. He lied to the people of Florida last November, because he knew full-well by then that he was going to run in 2024. This past May, he managed to get the Sunshine Laws changed that pertain to his past and future travel records, making them out of bounds for the public, and media. On the day he announced his run, he signed the revised version of the Resign-to-Run Law, so he could remain in office while he pursued The White House. The only other Florida Governor who did that in recent times was Charlies Crist, because he thought he might be McCain’s V.P. candidate. Rick Scott changed the law back to its original form, until DeSantis decided he needed it overturned again, in order to continue to get a pay check.

Decided 2 years ago, so even more of a reason to walk away…

Two years of planning for this stillborne campaign..

Lied to the Fl voters and has a campaign that is a laughing stock

Nice knowing you Ron, you have no chance now of ever winning national elected office.

[Tommy Revolts]

Ron must have blinders on.

The path looked pretty doable, through Trump, in 2028. That's done now.

He needs to retreat real fast.

Here is a broader view over time. Note Ramaswampy also...

Data chart from 538, so there is that.

[b4me]

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.

[Dartoid]

Who cares

[jimfree]

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.

The Governor sat for an hour long interview with Megyn Kelly today. Will be released tomorrow around noon. Just fyi.

[RetiredTexasVet]

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.

[delchiante]

Trump was right to start early on FL Swamp Gov,then..

It’s a good thing mini-MAGA didn’t quit his day job.
