DeSantis says Trump should've given up power like George Washington after election loss and January 6: Florida Gov. takes a dig at rival for trying to overturn the election instead of acting like a Founding Father
Daily Mail ^ | March 22, 2023 | Geoff Earle

For the first time, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has criticized former President Donald Trump for refusing to concede power following the 2020 election – in a generalized comment referencing events more than 200 years ago.

DeSantis, who condemned rioters inside the Capitol where he once served, but has said little about Trump's push to have courts and allies toss out the results, made remarks during an interview with Piers Morgan, where he also blasted Trump administration chaos.

What an ignorant d!ck. Little does he realize that, in the unlikely event that he DOES win the nomination, HE will be facing the exact same fraud (and consequences thereof).

He’s too inexperienced to deal with it.

>> But with his instant foreign policy backtracking, and easy mocking of Trump’s legal predicament, I suddenly lost all enthusiasm. He should have kept quiet

Well said, +1

Half the country is under direct attack by the other half, and Donald Trump used some bad words. WAKE THE F**K UP PEOPLE!

We SHOULD be exchanging information on where to buy lots of cheap AMMO!

Me, too.

I can’t wait for primary season to begin in earnest.

There will be no coronation this time.

There is a healthy, hearty field of good, intelligent, patriotic candidates
lining up.

It is no shoo-in for Ron or Don.

Whoever wins will really have to work hard for the nomination this time around.

And it will be expensive...very expensive.

What I'm saying is, he could have been more effective in draining the swamp.The Key to drawing it is to Audit the Fed, and go back to the Gold Standard. Paper money is the health of the swamp. Too bad we can't bring Andrew Jackson forward to now.

When are these people going to learn to shut up?! DeSantis should have said NOTHING. This Trump thingie is none of his business, and so he was not obligated to comment.

The democrats must be orgasmic over all this infighting.

DeSantis has done good things as a Governor, and will do more good things as a Governor, but his recent counterproductive statements have been alienating.

He needs to stop the Trump bashing and get back to talking about concrete policies.

What if DeSantis comes out full boar for auditing the Fed, and getting off fiat money.( That would be taking a BIG risk.( Maybe with his life.)

He does.

He might want to look at the Presidential campaign fortunes of Jeb.

Glad he was smoked out as a uniparty member before he could do too much damage to the conservative cause.

I want a competition as opposed to a coronation, but based on concrete policies, not on counterproductive bickering.

Yes, we are under attack from China abroad, and Cultural Marxism here, we need 100 percent focused ruthlessness. We can’t afford side shows anymore.

"It is no shoo-in for Ron or Don."

Proper attitude at this point.

The headline is purposely misleading.

Ron said nothing wrong. Complimentary of Trump while suggesting he go out on top - in a sense.

At least Ron did not ridiculously suggest, as did Don, that he is better than Washington.

I expect much more direct and painful words from Ron for Don.

Certainly there is LOTS of room to criticize Delicate Don.

I agree that it was a very bad decision for DeSantis to agree to be interviewed by Morgan.

Morgan is a silly dilettante. He is a sensationalist who cut his teeth on Brit rags and TV.

He is the Benny Hill of Brit journalists.

It is a bad sign that Ron has cheapened himself to some degree by playing footsie wit Rupert Murdoch’s boys.
