"Trimming a little bit here and there from spending is meaningless."

That's exactly right, and therefore any GOP wannabe who genuflects to national debt -- even so much as a passing talking point -- is grabbing the third rail of politics in a completely unforced error. It's a non-starter in a national election.

And ... cue the Meatball!

"For Ron DeSantis, fixing the national debt is a cornerstone of his U.S. Senate campaign.

The North Florida Republican has even gone so far as to decline his congressional pension after taking office.

Nevertheless, boasting a reputation as a “leading fiscal conservative in the House,” DeSantis doesn’t quite walk the same walk in his own campaign. As he frequently rails against the national debt, comparing a recent budget deal to “giving a shopaholic an unlimited credit card,” the congressman seems perfectly fine carrying a boatload of debt on his own."

Aww…. Isn’t that cute, using playground name- calling just like Trump! At least you let the rest of the world see your level of maturity and intellect- about that of a 5-year old. And you can’t even tell that the article you are using to try to support your silly proposition is from when Desantis briefly ran for Senate, not anything recent. But it is interesting that you think worrying about the massive debt bringing us ever closer to financial collapse is a “completely unforced error “. Just one more piece of evidence that neither Trump nor many of his supporters are conservatives.
