Texas GOP Rep. Chip Roy endorses DeSantis for president

DeSantis is a possible rival for President Donald Trump in the upcoming Republican primary

Texas GOP Rep. Chip Roy on Wednesday endorsed Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis for president.

"The next president of the United States must be a vibrant and energetic leader with the faith, vision and courage to chart a new course," Roy tweeted. "That leader is Florida Governor Ron DeSantis."

DeSantis has not declared a candidacy to seek the 2024 GOP presidential nomination but is widely considered the top rival to former President Trump in his reelection bid.

Roy argues DeSantis has made Florida "stronger and freer" and praised the governor for sending illegal migrants this past fall to liberal-enclave Martha's Vineyard, in Massachusetts, to point out record migration to the U.S. is a national, not local, issue.

"It's time for younger, but proven, leadership to offer America eight years of solid transformational change," Roy also said in his tweet. "It's time for Ron DeSantis to be president of the United States."

Trump had been dealing with multi-level international boards
for a long time. He knew world leaders because of his
dealings in their nations. He was very savvy about what
was going on. I didn’t realize this going in. I learned
about it along the way.

Trump was at an international forum in Europe and told
Germany flat out, that if they didn’t change their energy
policy they’d soon be over a barrel to Russia.

Within a few years, that very thing happened. The
Germans laughed out loud when he made that suggestion
from the podium of an international leader meeting.

One of those people laughing went on the record in
public and said, Trump was right. I don’t think they
see him as the buffoon they did years ago.

Look, I keep having to say stuff like this, but Ron
doesn’t have any past experience like this. Russia
and China don’t know him. He’s an enigma to them.

In time he may develop a great international stance.
I can’t say. I’m not going to say it’s impossible.

Well, your free to reject reality all you want.

Thanks for the comments.

I don’t disagree with that. During Trump’s presidency I
was so focused on Trump, Pence was a sideline issue for
me. To your credit you did give him thought.

His actions after the election told me all I needed to
know about him. And it turns out, you were right.

Despite her rhetoric, big pharma likes Hillary
2016

Healthcare companies donate to 2020 presidential candidates
This is 2020, but it states the healthcare sector, which sounds like more than just big pharma. But I'm not 100% sure that is the case.

Big Pharma is always going to hedge their bets, but they didn't in 2016. At least not to Trump. Trump's major issue is that he gives people the benefit of the doubt. He's learned not to be so quick to allocate people the benefit of the doubt anymore.

“... but they didn’t in 2016.”

Pfizer alone kicked in a million bucks for The Don’s inauguration bash.

The last election more than proved that the electorate will fall for just about anything. Yes there was cheating for sure, but you can’t explain 2022 by that alone.

Do you really believe only Trump can end the war in Ukraine quickly? Putin and Xi will soil their Depends if DeSantis wins.

Again, someone other than Trump was in charge of that inauguration ball.

Just admit that you don't like Trump, never did & never will.

But quit lying. If you are not lying then bring that proof forward.

I DID like Trump at points.

I DON”T like Trump anymore.

I likely never will.

But the only mature option in the general is to vote R. So there is a good chance I’ll vote for him again.

He still supports the jab, even with everything we know about it. What’s your rationalization for that?

How does it affect his policies? It doesn’t. It’s completely irrelevant.

People who don’t run likely won’t be elected President.

well let's examine your answer by asking more questions to better understand your answers.

At what points did you like Trump?

What did Trump do to make you not like him anymore?

I assume you mean you likely never will like him ever again, correct?

But for self preservation you will bury your hatred for him, and cast your vote for him, because it benefits you. Have I got that correct?

” your hatred for him”

I don’t hate Trump. I pity him. And I distrust him.

You have no clue what is coming, & Ron DeSantis will not stop what's coming. Trump may or may not be able to either, but he is willing to try.

I heard all of this back just before this video was created, but thought it was craziness. But it's happening now what they were saying back then

Now you have a choice to believe it or awaken & join the fight for humanity. I believe in the Lord, & that he will defeat them if we join together to fight against the evil through him. It's your choice. But this is why Trump acts the way that he acts.

You seem to worry bout the vaccine, that he didn't want to to use, but the alternative is far worse.

Wake up to what is in store. If you haven't seen the signs that prove what I am saying, it's because you haven't been introduced, or you ignore what people are trying to tell the masses. Like I said I didn't believe this, because this nation was still close to what we were born into, so I ignored the talk. But as time progressed I began to see these things being discussed begin to coming true, and that there were people in this nation who were onboard with the plans.
