DeSantis is one of the most effective politicians I have ever seen. What he’s done in Florida is astounding. I would, seriously, much rather have him as president than Trump.
That said, I don’t think he’ll go anywhere in the primaries except 2nd place. Trump will just damage or even crush him.
Ron needs to wait his “turn.” They all do.
And Trump will fail if he’s the nominee. There’s too much chaos there for general voters and he’ll also drive up Democrat turnout
Karl Rove and the Bushes are desperately pushing DeSantis to challenge Trump.
Ron needs to wait until 2028, and punt the neo-con, war-mongering RINOs out of his orbit.
DeSantis is one of the most effective politicians I have ever seen?
Trump accomplished more positive results for America in one 4yr term than any President in your lifetime...
And he didn't have to do it by threatening to impose taxes on Disney customers.
Primary season is by far the most fun to be had in politics. DeSantis is walking a tightrope, and taking a very low-key approach to his campaign so far. Hard to tell, but it doesn't look like he's really planning on a full-on challenge to Trump at the present time, but more of a pro-forma effort to both raise his national profile, make some "free" mistakes, land a few blows on his likely 2028 challenger Gavin Newsom, and generally be seen as a more presentable, cleaned-up Trump when the time comes. That said, Trump is best when he has a solid opponent to punch against. He's more focused, more aggressive, and not unimportantly, hilariously mean.
We've already seen it with DeSantis. "Meatball Ron" is puerile and silly, even juvenile, but also comic genius. The next few months until the convention should be lit!
RDS is our governor but the greatness is a myth. I have not seen anything he did anymore than Rick Scott, Jeb or even Crist the last 24 years of Republican governors that we have had. . He slid into a very comfortable position by their making. Things are expensive here, food, gas, insurances etc…nothing good for us seniors and most others has happened . People are losing their property insurances, we are being overrun with north eastern libs, Californians. Oregonians etc at his invitation. Traffic is impossible, building every square inch of this beautiful state is going on, and if you look at say Kristi Noem or Glen Youngkin there’s not much difference . Ron needs to cool his heels after someone can get control of the country after this regime. Then maybe he can slide into presidency.
