Who's behind Ron DeSantis, then?
FR ^ | March 3 | RF

Posted on 03/02/2023 11:51:39 PM PST by RandFan

I have some genuine questions and I have no malice against Ron DeSantis or his supporters but a few things trouble me about him!

He has the tacit support of the Bushes.

I know they want anyone but Trump but as one Freeper put it: Will he blow kisses back?

What does having their support mean? Does it mean Karl Rove becomes an advisor? Campaign cash, staff and what not?

Think about it.

It's not just some throw away endorsement by them it comes with serious muscle, donors, etc.

He's also visiting Texas instead of CPAC.

Will he be hanging out with Ron Paul or the Bush clan?

This will be telling to me.

I notice Fox and Murdoch are also pushing him heavily.

Again, anyone but Trump is the cry but that also comes with serious muscle and TV/media coverage.

Will DeSantis sell his soul for all this and to try and be president and if he succeeded with all these connections just WHAT kind of president will he be?

THIS is what I'm thinking and what worries me.

I much prefer Trump the disruptor. Tried and tested and you know what you're getting.

Whether you like him or not Ron is much more of a conventional politician.

Just some thoughts, FRiends...

This adoration of the man, Ron DeSantis reminds me of all the little girls fainting and such at the arrival of the Beatles in the United States in 1964. It was then and is now both un-manly and un-Godly!

Just because the Bush family prefers him to Trump does not disqualify him. It does mean we need to look harder IMO to make sure he is real.

As to his accomplishments in Florida, they are far more conservative than Bush. Bush claimed he "reached across the aisle" to get things done. Those things were not that impressive. DeSantis record of accomplishment is one of the best I've seen.

That being said, we need to be careful. We don't know enough yet.

At this point I prefer Trump. Until there is a good reason to change I'm staying there.

WRONG. One of the last Senators I voted for was one of those that joined with the left on bills such as gun control so it would pass. He was a supposedly strong conservative. The last year he was in office he really showed his true colors.

CPAC is not a conservative organization anymore. It is full of RINOs. I’d avoid it, too.

The reason Soros wants DeSantis is because it knocks out the powerful Trump. Liberals think they can destroy DeSantis by keeping the campaign money from him. Trump, not so much.

“Will DeSantis sell his soul for all this and to try and be president” <— That’s just your trolling against DeSantis, but not a fact.

DeSantis has done more for Florida than Trump ever did for America.

I still think it’s cute that anyone will even think that the problems will be solved by voting.

Right?

Very valid points.

If he had used his gut instincts like the rest of us did is what gets to me. He's used that gut throughout his whole life and didn't trust it this one time when he really needed to.

Yes, the steal was on and we were ringing the alarm for months and months for him to get on top of it and he never did.

Ron is much more of a conventional politician.

That’s the troubling art

Trump the disruptor. Tried and tested and you know what you’re getting.

That isn’t

Who are the equivalent to Schumer,Pelosi’, etc, in Florida Swamp vs DC Swamp?

The Florida Swamp has D’s living in it.
The DC Swamp has D’s and Swamp R’s running it..

Florida’s swamp has RINOs too. Florida is in no way inoculated from swamp gas.

How many are as powerful as the DC RINOs?
Any?
How about all the career Fedzilla staffs that run DC?

The DC Swamp has 50 states of Rats and Scum to pull from..

That’s why Trump was spied on from day one.
And why he was impeached twice.
And why he was raided.
And lawfared..

And. And. And..

“Dr. Fauci, who I always got along with pretty well, but I usually did the opposite of what he wanted,” Trump said. “He said the vaccine would take three to five years and probably wouldn’t even happen. And I got it done in less than nine months.”

“I think the best bet ever made was I bought millions and billions of dollars of vaccine before we knew it worked, before we had it approved.”

A bit late to the thread, but my vote will go to the candidate who will declare fentanyl a weapon of mass destruction, and accord drug cartels the same treatment as ISIS.

I’d like to see Pompeo/DeSantis. Only ticket that makes sense to me. Our problems are foreign and domestic. DeSantis is more domestic. Pompeo is experienced at both.

Trump had the ability to hire bulldogs, but he hired swamp toads instead.

You must love that the country is back to the Bush-Clinton-Bush-Obama era then, if you hated Trump’s 4 years..

It seems Trump’s enemies weren’t just D’s.
Lots of R’s that we now know are Swamp First and Americans Last..

Trump did a wonderful job of exposing who the swamp was.
Even if they had an R beside their name.?

And he did it for no salary..

Man, what a scumbag politician Trump was.. /s

You are retarded for concluding that. Your poor reading comprehension is typical of the low IQ crowd.
