Do you think it’s a good idea to keep electing people who’ve never once worked in the private sector?

He consistently defended Trump

How many other lawyers/career politicians defended Trump one minute then lined up to undermine him and shank him in the back?

And lots wouldn’t want to vote for a Commander in Chief who hasn’t spent real time in the military like DeSantis has (6 years) AND time as a successful managerial executive in government like DeSantis will have (6 years).

Sure, ideally we’d have those plus private sector experiences in a background, but ultimately we’ve got to choose from among those who present themselves as viable candidates.

Over the past 2 years DeSantis has answered the bell fighting lots of tyranny that other pols have instead aided and abetted.

DeSantis was a legal advisor for the SEALs...C’mon.

Byrne is a showboater but much of this rings true.

Byrne is a showboater and his comment doesn't ring true.

No, thanks.

Ya know what's ironic? Republicans mock all these Democrats who've spend a lifetime on the government tit, who've never once held a real private sector job. Yet when it's a Republican, it's no problem.

Hypocrisy on parade.

Not as a rule, no.

But is it a good idea to again elect someone with no previous experience in government to lead the executive branch of the US government?

I think it's a good idea to avoid commie groupthink and look at individual accomplishments.

DeSantis is the chief executive of one of the largest states in the U.S.A. and has a list of actual accomplishments that I consider worthy of re-election and/or election to a higher executive office.

No other executive office holder, other that Trump, fits that category for me at this moment in time.

You're referring to Trump? The guy who built a planet wide empire, who's been the most honest, forthright, outspoken president in modern American history? The guy who blew an entire short bus of career politicians off the stage, beating all of them. The only guy who's done something about these violent open borders, while others from both parties gave you nothing but lip service and lies for 35+ years? They hated Trump because he couldn't be bribed or influenced by the corrupt. No?

Trump has a bond with tens of millions of his supporters, it's historic and not been seen in modern America. You'd have to dial back to the founders to see this type of relationship between a leader and the people.

DeSantis? C'mon...He might be a nice guy who does some things right, but he's no Trump. Not even close.

Ya mean as opposed to career insider politicians who've never held a real job? Btw, outside the Trump era, what did all that government experience get us? I'll tell you what it got us, debt, death, open borders, sky high crime, an economy on the brink and chaos in every direction.

Any more questions?

Musk? I hadn't considered that, but the more the merrier. As an aside, I can't wait to see the likes of Romney, Cheney, Kasich and other RINOs (should any or all run) be voted off the POTUS Primary Island.

I suspect that our GOP primaries will be more than interesting in 2024, eh?
