A conservative that actually know how to hire good people? Gasp! I haven’t seen leadership like this in a long, long time.

““ She has also been credited — or blamed — for helping make the incendiary term “groomer” mainstream in GOP circles. In early March, she used the word, once reserved to describe pedophile behavior, to characterize anyone who opposed a DeSantis-favored bill restricting discussions of sexual orientation and gender in schools. “If you’re against the Anti-Grooming Bill, you are probably a groomer or at least you don’t denounce the grooming of 4-8 year old children,” she tweeted.””

Christine is good for Florida and Desantis the way Kelly McEnany was good for the USA and Trump.
I wonder why the WaPo doesn’t write articles critical of Biden’s press secretaries, etc.
Ha ha - Just joking. We already know why WaPo has a hands-off policy about the Biden wokes-persons.

The Washington (com)Post is big mad at her.

"She went on another tear in April after The Post published a story about a popular right-wing Twitter account called Libs of TikTok. Pushaw tweeted, retweeted and quote-tweeted about the article dozens of times over the next two days, aiming several broadsides at the story’s author."

All I can say is DeSantis is a "scary judge of talent".

Unless you closely follow Florida politics you are only seeing the tip of the iceberg!

When DeSantis is elected (either in 2024 if Trump doesn’t run or 2028 if he does), I look forward to Christina Pushaw shutting down the disinformation media. It will be fun to watch.

I know his health Secretary is supposed to be outstanding-—how is the rest of his crew?

Reagan was hit or miss-—I think his Supreme Court picks were representative—Scalia, (elevating) Rhenquist, O’Connor, Kennedy. Biggest miss was Bush.

I don’t know history well enough to point out an individual and say that he excelled Reagan. I’m sure there have been governors that have done better-—but one has to work with the bench one has.

That said, if DeSantis Secretary of Health is typical, then the guy is crackerjack.

It'll be smooth sailing for DeSantis and his people until the Media and the Left decide to implement the Trump "Destroy Them, Their Lives and Their Families" protocol on the DeSantis camp.

Then we'll see what he's made of.

“ Christine is good for Florida and Desantis the way Kelly McEnany was good for the USA and Trump.”

Christina is way way better. McEnay had as her deputy the Farah lady who is now making a living bashing Trump. McEnany had Trump holding press conferences with Fauci and Scarf every day. McEnany also continued the practice of daily briefings with Trump-hating White House correspondents who spent the time shouting angry gotcha questions.

Cristina doesn’t give leftist media that kid of attention and credibility. She shuts them out instead of inviting them in. She doesn’t hire people who aren’t loyal to Desantis and his agenda. She is the new model for a savvy effective MAGA spokesperson. Desantis is great at hiring talented loyal people.

We can’t afford another episode of “Trump and his terrible, awful, horrible hires”

I don’t follow Florida politics closely—but if you do, a reply to post 11 would be appreciated.

It’s always great hearing about strong conservatives who are making a difference. God bless Christina Pushaw.

I remember when Clinton lied to Congress and they had him by the balls. I was so pumped for this obvious slam dunk. Then I happened to hear a Sunday morning talk show with mealy-mouthed Trent Lott blabbering incoherently about why they weren’t going to remove him from office. I realized then the fix is in. Let’s hope in the new generation.

“ It’ll be smooth sailing for DeSantis and his people until the Media and the Left decide to implement the Trump “Destroy Them, Their Lives and Their Families” protocol on the DeSantis camp.”

The difference is, Desantis doesn’t hire disloyal people who would help the media undermine him. Trump hired mostly disloyal RINOs, so he was extremely vulnerable to the lefts “destroy Trump” attacks, because he had surrounded himself with traitors. We can’t have another four years of that kind of incompetent hiring

Desantis 2024!

This ain’t his first rodeo, 6 years in the House and he’s 43.

“ a DeSantis-favored bill restricting discussions of sexual orientation and gender in schools. ”

WaPo conveniently omits the fact that this law referred to children from preschool to second grade. They are so dishonest.

All these Freepers who say Desantis will stumble when he’s attacked by the left like trump is. —- they fail to mention that trump hired people who hated him and his agenda, so he didn’t have a team to defend him against the lefts attacks

Unlike Trump, Desantis seems to be smart and careful in hiring. Maybe it’s because he doesn’t waste time on twitter, but uses his time effectively like a serious, mature leader ought to do?
