Trump ally Marjorie Taylor Greene: DeSantis should stay put as governor
The Hill ^ | 11/11/2022 | Jared Gans

Posted on 11/11/2022 9:52:34 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), a close ally of former President Trump, says Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) should stay on as governor amid rumors that he could challenge Trump for the GOP nomination in 2024.

Greene did not directly mention DeSantis’s potential interest in a 2024 run in a Twitter thread on Friday but said that losing a “strong Republican governor” early because political consultants are urging them to run for president hurts the country because it leaves their states weak and vulnerable to poor leadership or Democratic control.

“It is doubtful that DeSantis is going to run this time”

I am sure that Trump knows far more about it than you. It is Trumps way of trying to get DeSantis to back down. I am not saying that Trump is handling it right. But it is who Trump is. Sometimes that behavior is a curse for Trump, but other times it is what drives him to get things done.

Agree. Florida is sitting well due to him. Can you imagine the torture his family would go through if he ran for president?

DiSantis needs to stay put!

Yes because poise and restraint has worked so well for republicans in the past. Remember how poised and restrained Dubai was as our young warriors were getting their arms and legs blown off? Remember what a gentleman Bush senior was in the fight with Bill Clinton? McCain was poised and restrained with Obama as was that loser Romney. It may not work but as least you guys weren’t embarrassed by someone who actually fought for the voters.

Does DeSantis believe the 2020 election was not stolen?

Hey, didn't you see the ad.. God made US a fighter.. I have figured out who Ron intends to fight…. Oh soooo classy. Nobody huddles with lying Ryan, Luntz/Mccardy and the foxes in good faith for a governor's mansion..

I believe Trump was truly a “peoples” President and loves this country but his caustic attitude and “mean tweets” turns a lot of voters off. I believe he should let DeSantis run and then DeSantis could make him Secretary of State.

He didn’t answer because it was a debate rule that candidates don’t address each other during the debate... which Crist violated with that dumbass question.

Excuses. He could have answered the question. And it's a dumbass (your word, not mine) to think that such a question is "dumbass".

DeSantis doesn’t scare me, he’s just a kid in terms of experience.

Lieutenant Commander, Recipient of the Bronze Star, Navy & USMC Commendation Medal, Attorney, Multiple term Congressman, Elected Twice as Governor of Florida. Unlike Trump, DeSantis was never a registered Democrat.

What does it have to do with Florida? Why should he have an opinion?

As I posted before, DeSantis should finish his term in Florida, let President Trump run in 2024, and then become Trump's Attorney General in 2026 so DeSantis can build his own DC team to run in 2028.

Greg Abbott should be Trump's running mate in 2024 to make immigration reform the issue that Kamala Harris failed to manage.

Ted Cruz should consider running for the governor seat vacated by Abbott, and Dan Patrick can appoint his replacement in the Senate.

Trump hasn’t even announced yet and is getting major pushback from many more of his supporters than expected. If he runs, he will fizzle early and new candidates will join the race. That includes Desantis.

Why would DeSantis surrender his interest in running for President in 2024 to Trump’s interest in running for President in 2024?

Why on Earth would he do that?

DeSantis is not some fawning servant pledging fealty to a king.

He should not be told to act like he is.

Why does DeSantis have to commit one way or the other. I am still in Trump’s corner for now, but it would be stupid for DeSantis to commit to anything right now

Of course there is no obligation for DeSantis to respond.

Similarly, there is no obligation for Trump and his support not to respond the the establishment DeSantis push.
