There’s been no bigger critic of the DeSantis operation than me; however, to be fair in this gotcha question – DeSantis did outline some of the numerous voting irregularities before getting to the nub of his position and saying, “Of course he lost. Joe Biden’s the president.”
Where DeSantis goes horribly wrong in his political approach is to then blame Donald Trump for the outcomes of the state decisions during the 2020 COVID election. The states run the elections, not the federal government. Ballot harvesting corruption and the fraud in the voting process was a specific regional issue albeit on a massive scale.
DeSantis has this sanctimonious streak that runs through him from top to bottom. President Trump named him accurately. The Florida governor has very few friends, and those who know him in his professional political endeavors do not find him to be a man of integrity.
Governor DeSantis is a shape shifting DeceptiCon, comfortable with false pretenses all around him. That’s why DeSantis was the perfect selection for the Astroturf, fraud and fakery that underpins the entire anti-MAGA campaign operation. It’s all fake, including the candidate.
He’s out for himself. He’ll knock Trump, and when push comes to shove he’ll knock anybody in his way.
Not a man who works for his country. It’s all about him.
This may be true, but he has done more to stop the woke agenda than any other governor.
I would agree with DeSantis on this, sort of. Trump lost, just not fairly. He lost because demondogs cheated.
I think it’s all about him similarly applies to Trump too. Both are narcissistic.
99.9999999999% of all politicians are narcissistic.
So many better answers possible...just feel sorry for him now. Here’s one:
“I don’t know about cheating in other states, but we ran a clean election in Florida by limiting mail-in voting and verification of votes received”.
It’s not a hard thing to say, and he’s not “Siding with Trump” if he simply said the above, but he would be implying that he at least has heard some of the concerns.
Meatball will say anything you pay him to say.
Trump has always kept the people first. He didn’t even get paid as President.
Time to pack it up Ron while you still have people who like you.
Just pointing out that both are narcissists. It’s not that DeSantis is flying solo in that arena.
I’ve done work and haven’t been paid. I’m not what you would generally doing it for the people.
Joe Biden’s the president
When pigs fly and hell freezes over.
Whether intentional or not DeSantis just stabbed the base in the back. The rats/MSM pounced on the useful part and that is the narrative. The effect is devastating and the truth about the steal is effectively crushed. It was the worst thing to say at the worst possible time given who Ron is perceived as being. I have been a supporter of Ron’s but this is unforgivable
It’s not going to be DeSantis. It’s going to be Trump and unless you want to let Biden win you have to vote for Trump. That is the reality of it.
Then let him stay in Florida and be a good governor.
Yes, the best option for him. He should have supported President Trump wholeheartedly and worked hard for the 2028 nomination.
“Of course he lost. Joe Biden’s the president.”
Of course he owns the car, he stole it. Can’t you see him driving it?
Yes. That is exactly how I feel.
He’s been allowed to do that in Florida. He’s the “good cop” Republican. His job is to restore faith in the 2 party system so they can they can take Maga and neuter it. He will govern as same old because he has no power over the states and no conviction to change the status quo.
