desantis ran for re-election, saying he wanted to serve as governor of florida...
he didn't run on a platform of using the re-election as a stepping stone to a presidential election run.
The sooner he announces, the quicker people will see he's just another politician controlled and supported by the GOPe and big money, and the sooner his career is over.
Oh yeah.... and the obligatory "desantis hasn't said he's running".
Nonsense. These are excellent hires.

Desantis is a nobody, when you have TDS you can’t see it; when the primary result start to come in, as with Jeb Bush! their eyes will open and they will say we saw it all along.
At this moment, I feel like DeSantis’ best path is to do excellent work as the Governor of Florida for the next several years, inspiring other Governors to fight woke culture so they can get as much attention as DeSantis is getting.
I do not believe—any longer—that DeSantis will run. Trump is the pick and I see DeSantis jumping on Trump’s bandwagon and campaign before too much longer.
He has a new job, which will be an attempt to stop Trump in '24.
What will happen is he'll anger about 75 million of Trump's good friends. He continues this track, and he'll be lucky to win any election on the national level, ever.
We here in Wisconsin also had a very good governor, Scott Walker. He went against the “conventional” wisdom sometines, like DeSantis. In fact, Walker was the only governor in the U.S. to survive a recall election. 53% to 46%, a large margin. Then he ran for the republican presidential nomination and lost. That was the end of his political career. He lost the next gubernatorial election to Tony Evers, a Madison liberal. Bad for Walker, terrible for Wisconsin.
I'm thinking it best (for everyone!) if DeSantis stays in Florida for now.
He better ask for his pay upfront since Ronnie won’t last any longer than Jeb Bush did in 2016.
Nonsense. Do you line in Florida? Everyone expects him to run and knew it before the last election. Did you go to journalism school? Prvada? Nyt? You could write for them as you just make sh*t up.
desantis just signed a constitutional carry law for us floridians...
it goes into effect july 1, 2023...
“Lauren Lofstrom”
Wonderful - might as well picked Lindsey Graham’s wife. Let’s see how that works out.
I predict some real screwery when Desantis declares and has to step down. Geez could he just serve his term, kick ass in Florida for two more years and then run for POTUS afterward?
The deep state, never trump and neocon crowd will be puring millions into DeSantis’ campaign.
The finance guy is going to be busy.
Why is this posted under Editorial?
desantis seems to be hiring former cruz campaign honchos wholesale ... that’s a REALLY, REALLY bad sign as to what kind of politician desantis might really be ... cruz campaign ran a totally nasty, corrupt, unethical campaign against trump ...
Oh, good grief.
In 2020, 60% of Trump's funding came from big money donors. Out of the $1.1 billion spent, he only tossed $8 mil out of his own pocket into the race.
Trump was funded by big money donors as much as anyone. He wasn't special. And now, many of those same donors have ditched Trump and moved on to DeSantis and that's the real reason Trump is attacking DeSantis so much. He wants his donors back!
Enough of this political nonentity. All this build up and the guy will come out and faceplant. Send in Chris Christie at least he’s got some fire in his belly and says something interesting or funny every once in a while.
The only factor that matters is money, thus a finance director is essential, whether he round or not.
DeSantis has stood for Floridians, but is anyone bothered how he is deliberately disobeying a Florida law that states any politician who holds an office must resign from that office if he/she are plans to run for another office?
Run Ron Run!
We need a Freedom guy in this race.
