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.

Trump will win more easily than in 2015.

The headline is purposely misleading.

Ron said nothing wrong.


Something’s misleading alright, but it’s your description of DeSantis’s comments as:

“Complimentary of Trump while suggesting he go out on top - in a sense.”.

But nice try.

He ought to emulate a founding father: Alexander Hamilton, and stick to local politics, join the media. Not like anyone will challenge him to a duel or anything in this day and age.

Trump just wanted to be sure legit ballots were the ones counted

That’s hardly trying to overturn an election

Hamilton was a Monarchist, and father of Neo- Cons,a big governm3nt guy. No, what we need is a Jackson. He won every battle he ever faced, and he DID drain the swamp of his day.

I doubt he would take advice or a list from the same people this time

"But nice try."

Ron was referencing the most complimentary description of Washington. And saying Trump was in the unique position that he could have fit that ideal. But was too selfish. Ron's not wrong.

No question Trump is a selfish and dangerous jackass. Nobody blames him for complaining about the 2020 cheating.

Neither does Ron. He's just saying Trump could have handled things differently. Which you are welcome to dispute.

Anyway... these simple words are nothing. If they hurt Delicate Don, that's too bad. There is much, MUCH more valid and logical anti-Trump ammo in Ron's arsenal. Lots of time.

Good-bye, Ron.

It's been nice knowing you.

The Daily Mail is the UK equivalent of the National Enquirer…in other words, don’t believe everything they say.

It’s a false comparison. Washington didn’t run for a third term when everyone wanted him to.

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.

Uh huh. it would have been so easy if you had been in Trump's shoes.

Jackson would have done it if he was in Trump’s shoes. But then the man took a bullet to the chest and hardly flinched.

Yup I knew he did not believe in anything but a few piddly cases of vote fraud. But he is even worse than I thought. This country needs someone to take on the corruption. Desantis is not it. Personally I already think it is too late most likely.
No time to play with Desantis.
