DeSantis Status As GOP Presidential White Knight Crumbles As Florida Backtracks On Disney Fight
Miami Independent ^ | December 3, 2022

Posted on 12/09/2022 10:00:05 AM PST by SoConPubbie

Ron DeSantis looks to be bought.

It's sad. He had such great potential.

Now he's just another swamp creature it seems.

Behind DeSantis' probable presidential run are multiple left-wing billionaires, who are desperate to prevent a return of Donald Trump to power.

DeSantis is their man.

The Miami Independent has described how the DeSantis administration will do nothing about evidence of massive ballot harvesting in the state. Why is this? Are they keeping the election fraud powder dry to use against Trump in 2024?

ERIC, the 'progressive' voter registration entity is still being used by the state of Florida, allowing the election fraud to continue, by white-washing the corrupt Florida voter rolls. This is despite efforts to block its use by Florida election integrity activists.

Recently, former state representative Anthony Sabatini called out DeSantis for walking back the fight against the Disney Corporation in their efforts to sexualize children with LGBT propaganda.

Was 'Florida is where woke goes to die' just performative?

Other media report DeSantis flatly denies backtracking on this issue.

Ping!
Saddened to read this, but if true your thoughts on
this character were spot on. Best we know now, rather
than later.
Time will tell if he is the man we thought him to be.
On the other hand, we find he is no better than the odd
assortment of swamp creatures (Jeb!)

The idea that massive ballot harvesting is happening in Florida is a total lie, DeSantis won by 20% in the most recent election.

If massive ballot harvesting were taking place, it’s Republicans doing it since, Republicans have super majorities in the state legislature and control 20 of the 28 US congressional seats and NO Democrats hold statewide office for the first time since Reconstruction.

Criticize DeSantis all you want but at least use truths instead of complete lies.

Hope that none of this is true.

It’s not.

The basis of this article is a tweet by former Florida Rep. Anthony Sabatini that has since been debunked as “fake news” by the DeSantis Administration and corroborating reports.

If you’re trying to make Trump look good by making DeSantis look bad, that’s not how it works.

Think about it...

The Lamestream Media is telling everyone that Trump cannot win in 2024 and the only way for the Republicans to win the White House is with DeSantis.

So the Lamestream Media wants to help Republicans win the White House? Yeah, right.

They're still terrified that Trump will be the nominee. If he were really damaged goods, then they would be like Hillary Clinton and all the other Democrats who believed that in 2016 and wanted him to win the nomination.

No, no, DeSantis/Trump.

The delusional DJT haters can be told that DeS will be in charge — “so quit clutching your pearls (yah little PU***)”.

This will make DeS assassination proof and DJT can travel the world telling the globalist, commie trash scum where to shove it. He will have a ball. And, anytime something .....”nasty” has to be signed DeS can leave the country and leave DJT in charge. It will drive the commie trash to suicide.

It is a win/win.

This "article" - and I'm using that term loosely - from what looks to be a blog started in 2022 called the "Miami Independent", is anonymous, has no sources, and looks to be equivalent to once of the poorer posts from FR by a Trump supporter trying to get rid of DeSantis.

Don't get me wrong - there are some thoughful posts in which people advocate for Trump over DeSantis. But this "article" isn't one of them.

Wayne Allyn Root said 2024 should be Trump/DeSantis. One of the arguments against is that since both candidates’ declared home state is FL, then this ticket is not feasible because, per the Constitution, the ticket could not be awarded Florida’s electoral votes if they won the state.

Root said the problem is easily fixed. Trump owns the Trump Towers (Trump International Hotel) in Las Vegas. He moves into the top floor penthouse of the Trump Tower and declares Las Vegas as his permanent residence.

Problem solved.

While I think this article takes it a bit far, the fact is, DeSantis is a politician. Donald Trump is not.

Donald Trump wasn't a politician before he started running for President. Once he ran for president, got the nomination, and became president, he became a politician by the literal definition of the word. I would say that his biggest problem is that he has failed to develop the skills that needed to be a consistently effective politician.

I oppose the Establishment Business Roundtable crowd’s imposition of Ron DeSantis on us accompanied by the destruction of Donald Trump regardless of the content of this article.

Choose your candidate in primaries based on who can win in general rather than who you wish to be the candidate.
