Biden Picked a Fight and DeSantis Just Delivered a Knock Out

The White House has been attacking Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis for weeks and has become increasingly aggressive over the past few days.

Press Secretary Jen Psaki has regularly gone after DeSantis from the briefing room and during an event outside of the White House Thursday afternoon, President Joe Biden took a swipe by pretending not to know who DeSantis was.

When asked to respond to the attacks during an event on Friday, DeSantis said he doesn't blame Biden for not remembering him. He then listed all of the issues Biden is failing to properly address.

"I guess I'm not surprised that Biden doesn't remember me. I guess the question is what else has he forgotten. Biden's forgotten about the crisis as our southern border I can tell you that. Biden has forgotten about the inflation that is biting the budgets of families all throughout our country. Biden has forgotten about the demonstrators who are fighting for freedom down in Cuba. Biden has even forgotten about the constitution itself as you saw with what he did with this moratorium," DeSantis said. "And I can just tell you, I'm the governor who protects parents and their ability to make the right choices for their kids' education. I'm the governor who protects the jobs and education and businesses in Florida by not letting the federal government lock us down. I'm the governor who answer to the people of Florida, not the bureaucrats in Washington."

I’m thinking he needs to stay gov of FL. Veers have a low probability of winning and governors usually do better.

DeSantis needs to finish his term(s) in FL FIRST.

Then America can have him as President.

He is the ticket for 2024. Need a good VP candidate.

YES!

As much as I like DJT he is too toxic.
The MSM is out to destroy DJT politically and personally. They want to erase him from history if they can.
DeSantis has a much better chance than DJT.

He’s the only one with guts. Well, Rand Paul is good too but he may not have what it takes to be a national candidate. He’d be great as a DeSantis cabinet member though…

And Pompeo should be Secy of State again. He was amazing.

Senators who become Presidents are disasters.

BHØ

Buy-Dung.

A Presidential election is like hiring an executive. You need someone with Executive branch experience, great business experience (DJT) or military command (Ike).

With military people you become a centralized authoritarian government even faster.

If DeSantis delivered a knockout, then why is Biden still POTUS?

Governors have worked in a position that prepares them for the Presidency. Senators and Reps like Barrack Obama, JoeRex and KammyJammy have pretty much no prep and no similar challenges and demands. (Why they are lousey.)
