'America's Governor' points to the scoreboard in response to the former President's fulminations. Gov. Ron DeSantis is finally on offense against former President Donald Trump, spotlighting the two men’s most recent elections.
Trump, who has attacked DeSantis repeatedly since before the November 2022 election, had gotten away with relative impunity slamming the man he’s dubbed “Ron DeSanctimonious.” The most recent attack was on DeSantis’ handling of COVID-19.
But at a press conference in Bradenton, the Governor said the people of Florida had “rendered” their “verdict” with his re-election last year, offering yet another preview of a potential 2024 GOP Primary slugfest between the former allies.
“What I would just say is this. I roll out of bed, I have people attacking me from all angles. It’s been happening for many, many years,” DeSantis said.
“If you take a crisis situation like COVID, the good thing is that if you’re an elected executive, you have to make all kinds of decisions. You’ve got to steer that ship. And the good thing is, the people are able to render a judgment on that, whether they re-elect you or not.”
“I’m happy to say that, you know, in my case, not only did we win re-election, we won with the highest percentage of the vote that any Republican Governor candidate has in the history of the state of Florida,” DeSantis said, noting his raw vote margin “nearly doubled” the previous record.
“That verdict has been rendered by the people of the state of Florida,” DeSantis added to applause.

How old is that? Does Trump really want to go down memory lane, and some of the things he’s said?

Quit moving the goalposts.
If DeSantis is going to play deSanctimonius about the clot shots, he has to open himself to the same scrutiny.
Oh so you support the clot shots now? Or are just opposed to DeSantis empaneling the grand jury to investigate them?
And yet, who's the one opposing President Trump?
What do you call yourself, someone who watches our candidate get back stabbed by RINOs, and then turns around and claps for whomever the same backstabbers put forth as "our" candidate?
If not for President Trump, we'd have Hillary Clinton as President, partly because the RINOs supported her.
DeSantis isn’t running. It’s a Paul Ryan wet dream. Trump and DeSantis are the 2 good guys.
Tell that to Trump.
It’s not my place to tell Trump anything. He’ll find out ... eventually.
Neither one.
As you ought to know.
The present (2024).
Actually it’s hard to follow, since one day you’re trusting Trump and “The Plan” (TM) and then the next day you’re claiming The Plan is to kill everyone. So the only thing that’s clear is that I’m solely convinced of the latter. Hop on board while there’s still room.
Agreed 🖖
Yup, and there are more like that, a lot more.
🤣
Why are ya’ll so scared of somebody who hasn’t announced?
Might you provide actual proof to back up your claims?
Three come to mind who were MORE successful than Trump. A LOT more successful.
Washington
Lincoln
Reagan
So in other words, you answered your own question
(Never mind Lincoln - though one could argue indeed “successful” - like FDR.)
This nonsense about Trump doing a bunch of frivolous exec orders (which are basically tyranny, I might add) as being “accomplishment” is just that. The basic tyranny of EOs can be undone easily by the tyranny of the next tyrant - which Biden has done.
Spitting in the wind.
you have no understanding of integrity or loyalty if you think that.
sounds like you would be ok with USING other people to meet your agender whether they were willing or not.
Isn't she like, the rapid response director for DeSantis?
Total Swampy.
So you’re saying you want us to compare DeSantis appointments, to Trump appointments, as to the number who are the most swampy? You sure? Has this woman ever even had a federal job in DC?
