In a Thursday interview with MSNBC, Florida governor and 2024 GOP primary candidate Ron DeSantis suggested that Donald Trump should be removed from the primary ballot if he is convicted in any of the legal cases the frontrunner is currently facing.
"So I signed a pledge, Willie, and that pledge is what it is," DeSantis said,
"Now, do I think somebody under those circumstances could get elected president? The answer is no.
"I don't think the party should nominate in that situation.

desantis didnt do much. he signed papers his legislature passed.
he does choose to backstab trump who did very much help boost desantis into office of gov.
desantis is and has always been out for himself first.
I find no articles about desantis, actually himself, doing any thing good for a person just having a heart to do good no strings attached. He is constantly calculated and only does things to get the spotlight or in hopes enrich himself.
He’s been a great governor, but now he’s wildly overplaying his hand. He’s responding to Trump’s low-road tactics (the degree and frequency of which I’m not really fond of) by going even lower.
Trump is the candidate, unless the Deep State manages to succeed in their bullshit against him and throw him in prison and keep him off the ballot, or, as one their own acolytes said, “put a bullet in him”.
RDS’s only rational play was to take the high road, wait it out, and play the cards that get dealt to him. He didn’t do that, and is paying a very high political price for it. He will now in all likelihood never be the candidate in 2024, under any scenario.
The Swamp no longer dislike what Trump is.
Now they see a guy who understands things much better than before and it is no longer dislike. It is fear.
He will arrive this time appointing no one with any political connections to the Cabinet. As is normal for incoming Administrations, he will request the resignations of all US attorneys.
I expect his daughter and her husband to return to senior positions. No, don’t freak out about being opposed to their opinions or policies. Policy does not matter because all policies will be upended. All that matters is he has people who won’t backstab him, and they won’t.
There will be assassination attempts, before and after election. Extra care required.
Weasel.
If this is successful, they’ll use it again and again against conservative candidates.
Tells you which side Rhonda is on.
DeSantis is a lawyer. How does he not know these are bogus charges. How does he not know trump is lawful in all his dealings?
At the risk of being overly optimistic (which usually gets me flamed), I think this might be the end of the RINO domination of the GOP, but the GOP might come out stronger.
Assuming Trump keeps dominating in the polls, and wins big in the primaries, this is a repudiation of the Republican establishment by the Republican grass roots.
Karma will be DeSantis having to move to NY or CA in 2024.
I’m putting it out there for Fair Use. :)
His advisors are the Jeb Bush/antiTrump party and they are encouraging him, expecting to dance with him on the political grave of Donald Trump.
Ron just keeps proving every day why he should never be President because he is not about saving the country, he is about promoting Ron.
I think there would be a historical write-in vote. And I think Trump would win.
Around the time of Trump's NFT offering, I thought maybe it's time to move on to someone like DeSantis. Then, I've seen him campaign and learned who he has backing him.
I will NEVER vote for Ron DeSantis.
And this is the guy who’s going to take on the deep state? What a loser.
So in other words, if the deep state succeeds in convicting Trump via one of their show trials, the GOP should find another nominee and just move on? Does this guy understand that that’s the whole purpose of these indictments in the first place? Of course he does, and he’s fine with it. In fact he’s rooting for it. Are there any DeSantis defenders out there who still want to argue that Ron’s not a RINO?
Only an opportunistic ****k would say something like that.
We apparrently are gaslighted and lied to by them, everyday, it seems...
And while they constantly attack Trump for his perceived faults, they completely ignore desanctimonious’
Including that he’s one of the swamp GOPe rino uniparty supported candidates.
