Whether Ron DeSantis has significant baggage or not, even the least indiscretion will be magnified to massive size. And it won’t be only Democrat Socialists that will be proclaiming any such vision, it will be an uncommon number of professional agitators within the halls of the Republican party as well.

I have nothing at all against Ron DeSantis, as I think he is among the very best governors to ever serve the state of Florida. And that should be the focus of his attention until early in 2027, when he shall be termed out from the governor’s office.

Now, in the campaign in 2028, DeSantis is the top tier candidate for nomination to run for the Presidency on the Republican ticket. But to become involved in the Presidential sweepstakes in 2024, would be clearly premature and ultimately a defeat for the Republican cause, such as it is.

Presidential timber is wood that should be well seasoned before using in construction of anything.

Very true but given the last two before him, that ain’t saying much.

He does good things there. But he isn’t the only person. The folks propping him up have a great way of ignoring the state legislature, other Republicans in the state government and all the counties that are dominated by Republicans.

One big group with a common agenda.

But for some reason, it’s all DeSantis. As if he was the Governor, County Sheriff, running an excavator or flying coast guard helicopters

One story, a while back…..DeSantis gets road opened in record time….was he doing the work? Or did the state/county hire a contractor that actually got the work done in a timely manner.

So, at the end of the day is he really that good, and he isn’t bad I admit, or is that every other Republican Governor and state legislature sucks so bad. Because the ones in places like Georgia and South Carolina are horrendous.
