DeSantis is hitting the wall and doesn’t want to be the next Jeb Bush, He is going to try and force his wife into a role of power probably Rubio’s seat. He wants DC.

I still don’t trust DeSantis I think he was funded by the Lincoln Project. DeSantis and Newsom seem slimey.

despite what these well-known desanctomonious sycophants say, your instincts are good. desanctonoius is two faced and will turn on you in a second if given the opportunity.

I live in Florida. I don’t hate him. I just see the true person behind the mask. The Never Trump wing of the GOP funded his run for President. The money sadly dictates control. If he had beaten Trump he would have been controlled opposition.

A point his supporters on FreeRepublic never really contest or explain.

I wonder why?!?!

self important, self serving guy, desantis. never liked him and I will not support him for national position. His wife is same. they may look nice outside but their hearts are about themselves first, not the country, nor it’s people.

If the timing and context are right (hopefully Donalds doesn’t have any significant skeletons in the closet) — then I pray Trump endorse Donalds. :)

DeSantis won’t risk his wife having to win an election. He will appoint her to Rubio’s seat. He wants to annoy PDJT. Ron is a low esteem person.

But doesn’t Ashley Moody already have Rubio’s seat?

Donalds may very well be President one day. DeSantis won’t.

That’s ok. We love him in Florida. I applaud him for supporting his wife. Most politicians cheat on their wives and have a few ex-wives.

This is confusingly written.

Livia Caputo is a senior at Florida State University, working on a major in Criminology, and a triple minor in Psychology, Communications, and German.

No link in the article to DeSantis' speech either. 😬

The primary voters will decide. We don’t do idiotic moves like the democrats just did. If Byron is so great, he’ll win the primary. I actually hope we have a nice group of candidates instead of just the two mentioned.

So instead of getting on board with a great candidate his only solution is the George/Lurleen Wallace approach. All the more glad he never got the nomination.

I agree.

This is Florida’s business and I really like DeSantis, but running your wife smacks of the slippery slope of one Party Rule corruption and excess. Like when “Ma” Ferguson succeeded her (impeached for misapplication of public funds so ineligible) husband as governor in Texas in 1924, which left a sense that the Democrats were corrupt in Texas for generations.

That goes for sons and nephews too.

“No link in the article to DeSantis’ speech either.”

Cavuto gave you the three relevant paragraphs quoting the Governor verbatim. The press conference was an hour and two minutes long. If you want the whole shmear, you can find it on YouTube at the First Coast News. The quotations begin at the 50:36 mark,

“I still don’t trust DeSantis I think he was funded by the Lincoln Project. DeSantis and Newsom seem slimey.”

Same here. Back in the Primaries he said something like “Ukraine is a territorial dispute and not a vital national interest of the US”, pretty much mirroring Trump, and then all hell broke loose (since the Neocons wanted to keep Trump, and his position on Ukraine, isolated to just him). BUT, 2 days later, he took the Neocon position calling it a ‘war of aggression’ by Putin.

Also a lot of funny stuff in his past, with people pointing out that he seemed to have been groomed by the Deep State in the way his career progressed. Also, it doesn’t help that his spokeswoman is Ukrainian.

In any case, he may have a long wait before getting a crack at the top job, as we may well have 8 years of Vance next.

Providing a link to the speech quoted in a digital article seems like de minimus journalism/editing if your goal is to truly inform the reader.

I'm sure the triple major college coed is a helluva rookie political reporter though...😬
