Thanks, bummer regarding his wife, but if his instinct is to stay in FL for the time being, he’ll do great and likely will end up at the national level in some way (hopefully a big way!).

Mini MAGA strikes back. Did Fox News and Paul Ryan help with that pithy come back remark?

Exactly.
Since DeSantis hasn’t announced, Trump is putting DeSantis in the minds of folks who never heard of him. All the insults are having an opposite effect. He can’t keep this up for two years. It’ll get stale.

“Indeed - who is breaking Reagan’s 11th Commandment and who isn’t?”

I love Reagan, but now I wonder how naïve I was when I first heard this. I never knew how deep and evil the Establishment (plenty of people in this group to break the commandment) is and how they are destroying America.

How could anyone not be behind the only POTUS to deliver on his promises?

Which POTUS was as successful as Trump? Look at what Trump accomplished:

  1. Gas price per gallon was about $2.30;
  2. Inflation about 1.4%, mortgage rates were half of what they are now;
  3. Unemployment was low before Covid and before Blue Governors shut everything down and we were in the midst of a V-shape recovery until January 22, 2021;
  4. Tax decrease; tax laws promoted small businesses as well as large;
  5. US enjoyed energy independence - No Green Agenda, no war on energy, No Paris Treaty;
  6. No war in Ukraine, no threat of nuclear war, NATO paid its way;
  7. China was quiet and we were winning the trade war;
  8. US companies were bringing home the jobs due to well executed tax treatments;
  9. Peace in the Middle East aka Abraham Accords; US Embassy moved to Jerusalem; and Iran was isolated.
  10. Got three non-left “I don't know what a woman is” Supreme Court Justices on the bench allowing Roe vs Wade to be overturned.

Who the heck can accomplish the above in four years while being impeached twice and investigated by Obama's Weaponized Agencies?

So I didn’t see where Mini MAGA declared. Did I miss something?

Is this publication a leftist publication???

There were three comments at the end of the story and all three were anti DeSantis, anti Trump, and anti Conservative...

DeSantis doesn’t need any help. Trump is doing this for him.

DeSantis deserves about as much loyalty as he’s giving. He wouldn’t be where he is without trump and is of an age where he could sit out this presidential election and take up the bid on the next election. He’s allowing his ambition to get in the way of what’s good for the country as far as I am concerned. It should go trump, desantis, desantis is they could just get their strategy together. Instead its going to be a dem again because of this sort of betrayal.

I for one will not vote for desantis in the primary, and if he does run against trump then I will never vote for him.

Plus, there is a lot of talk about his globalist ties and who is funding his campaign. Since he is essentially beholden to these donors, I’m not interested.

Take a look at who has funded his campaigns. You may make the same decisions.

He won’t address his terrible picks. He never errors, just ask folks. He’s either playing galactic, interstellar chess and we normies are too dumb, he was manipulated or deceived or it was someone else fault. Without fail. His base and the level of insanity will make him unelectable.

That all gets washed-out by COVID, Warp Speed, lockdown, the WEF and 0% interest rates.

Most important is his EO’s on the WEF’s agenda.

“Ron DeSantis is finally on offense against former President Donald Trump”

Don’t fall for it, Gov.

If he goes down this path, his poitical future ends right here. He can’t win the shouting match. He’ll wind up looking weak, petty, and stupid.

Our PDJT, The GOAT, is brash, loud, and a NEw YAwka. That’s his shtick. Oh yeah, and he’s a near 80 yo Billionaire. He doesn’t give a shiiite anymore.

Desantis has a very brite future . . . ahead of him, but not yet.
FL Ron is at his best when he is the getting the work done, and taking deserved recognition for that work.

Not when he is smoking the Hopium pimped by the Bulwark/Bush/Name your McC/Rino NeoCons en-circling him.

Not to get too into the statistics…when a candidate was clearly walking away with the race the voters are going to drop off. That’s why they discuss margins instead of vote totals.

“So I didn’t see where Mini MAGA declared.”

I guess he can just be another Chamber of Commerce type, and simply ‘lose the good fight’ as those before Trump in mostly clean elections. But showing some MAGA might just help turnout on his side.

“DeSantis doesn’t need any help. Trump is doing this for him.”

The problem DeSantis has is that those millions of hard-core Trump supporters aren’t seeing what you’re referring to, although I admit it’s quite obvious if one spends 10 seconds looking.

Most of what got “washed out” was done by Biden’s idiocy...
