DeSantis lays out timeline for 2024 decision
The Hill ^ | 02/20/23 | BY MAX GREENWOOD

Posted on 02/20/2023 11:27:22 AM PST by conservative98

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) hinted on Monday that he will make a decision on a 2024 presidential run after the state’s legislative session wraps up in May, giving the clearest timeline yet of when he could enter the race.

Asked on “Fox & Friends” when he might decide on a White House bid, DeSantis mapped out the coming months, saying that he would embark on a tour to promote his new book, “The Courage to be Free,” and work through the Florida legislature’s regular session, which begins in early March.

“We’re going to sell some books, we’re going to spread the message of Florida. And then on March 8, I have our Legislative Session that’s kicking off,” DeSantis said.

“You ain’t seen nothing yet,” he added. “This is going to be the most productive Legislative Session we have had across the board and I think people are going to be really excited … So those are what we’re going to be doing over these next few months as we get beyond that, then we can decide from there.”

Republican sources have long predicted that DeSantis would wait until after the state legislative session to announce a presidential bid, saying that it would give him a chance to rack up new policy victories so that he hits the campaign trail with fresh momentum.

Haha. Your only issue with that pic is the formatting? Typical Trumper. You just love those big-city NYC politicians like Trump and the Clintons, I guess.

So that means DeSantis supports Bush Era policies? I live in Florida and DeSantis went after Disney, you don’t get much more anti “good old boy” network in this state.

Who’s the better bet slick, someone who built a world wide business empire, who has experience and skills like Trump, who can’t be bought off, or someone whose only job outside government was a grade school teacher for one year?

Even though Trump got a big leg up from his father, Trump expanded the business into Manhattan (which his father couldn't do). He deserves credit for what he did in business.

If you showed me Trump's resume and Desantis' resume and asked me which one I wanted to be President, I would choose Trump.

However, after seeing Trump's narcissism and inability to get over losing and making everything about him all the time, I wouldn't vote for him for town dogcatcher.

How did those issues affect you, personally?

Excluding the clot shot, how did his policies affect you, personally? There’s a huge list of his accomplishments that gave us some of the best four years of our lives.

"whose only job outside government"

What a clown statement. Desantis was a Navy JAG working with SOCOM! I like how you limit jobs to "outside government." Haha. It's shows how dishonest you are when it comes to Trump. How many cowardly deferments did Trump get? Please tell me how many. I'm sure you know. Your guy is a coward. Congrats.

Hardly loving up. This photo was taken when Obama was leaving the white hut. Trump knew then he was being spied on.

"I can't say the same about Trump if DeSantis earns the nomination. I wouldn't be surprised if Trump endorsed the Democrat, as he did for Stacey Abrams in Georgia."

Actually, Droop, let me once again feed your fears as I did in George Soros "endorsement" of Ron DeSantis (The full video). BTW, thanks for giving that revealing thread another opportunity L.O.F.L.

"Let me feed your obvious fears. If Trump is f'd over by the RINOs who are in league with the Droop State, he can go 3rd party as I explicitly explicated above. Ron cannot.

I'm not recommending Trump go 3rd-party, but it's painfully clear to everyone but Ronlims, that you Ronlims have NO chance in 2024.

Soros is the blind prig who is a stopped cuck twice a day, but in this one last public appearance, he is correct insofar as DeSantis."

I just wish DeSantis would stop inviting everybody down here. The traffic is horrid. It’s getting very expensive. Real estate is way up and any bare land is being developed. Fields that had grazing cows are now Walgreens. And yes we are getting plenty of libs moving here. Our property insurance is becoming expensive to almost non existent. I went to a park today and probably half the people there are from foreign countries. It’s great here but there is a tipping point. We aren’t far from that I am afraid .

"Nearly four months into his campaign, Trump has received a whopping seven formal endorsements from elected Republicans, mostly House members in safe (R) districts."

Awww, Droop.

Let's take a look at DeSanctimonious endorsements.

Well, there was at least ONE.

A -14 SMACKDOWN.

Trump calls DeSantis endorsement of Joe O’Dea a ‘big mistake’

"President Trump is calling Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s (R) endorsement of Colorado GOP Senate nominee Joe O’Dea, who has repeatedly criticized Trump, “a big mistake.”

The O’Dea campaign on Sunday announced the endorsement from DeSantis, who is also rumored to be considering a 2024 presidential run."

“A BIG MISTAKE!” Trump wrote on Truth Social later Sunday.

The former president has increasingly criticized O’Dea, last week calling him “stupid” and a “RINO,” an acronym for “Republican in name only.”

BTW, just a friendly warning to you #Ronlims, your offsite disorganizations are hilarious, maybe next time actually change your names on GROPEBriefingGetARoomYouRINOS LOFL.

The path that purged the #Tedlims in early 2016 was offsite collusion, which included a hilarious abridged attempt at bringing in Cruz staffers as Freeptard astroturfers, who immediately insulted the owner; and fyi, all your Freepmail begging each all 5 of you #Ronlims onto these threads is visible to said owner, who is the most committed, consistent Trump supporter on FR.

For those who don't know, this means Ron was a lawyer in the military....☺
