With Florida governor Ron DeSantis expected to launch his presidential campaign in the coming weeks, there has been much speculation regarding whether or not he will be able to draw support away from the Republican frontrunner, Donald Trump, and emerge as a fresh new alternative for the party.
Members of DeSantis' team have argued that, despite continously trailing the former president in the polls, the governor's base of support will expand as soon as he officially declares that he's running.
According to Politico, DeSantis' team is confident that their guy has what it takes to become the nominee, with gubernatorial campaign manager Generra Peck suggesting that "everyone knows the majority of the Republican Party wants to move on."
DeSantis' spokesperson David Abrams highlighted the fact that Trump took to attacking the governor personally and professionally long before any talk of a presidential run was openly discussed. He suggested that the former president "knows that his greatest threat is Ron DeSantis."
Of course, DeSantis made all the moves of a man seeking to become president save for actually announcing.

DeSantis "has clearly made the calculation he needs to be a good alternative for Trump diehard voters out there."

You are right on.
No. I do like DeSantis as Gov of Florida. BUT I think he is taking advice from the wrong people. And I think those same people would be pulling his stings IF he won. I will not vote for him. For my family it’s Trump, period! If somehow the liberals do something to keep him off the ballot in 2024, we will write in Trump. It’s him or nobody for us.
Desantis is just another WEF supporting lawyer RINO. I’ll pass.
Trump did not shut down the country. He left it up to States.
The protesters that Trump could've pardoned, but chose not to? And now he says he'll consider it?
Because he totally failed to do this last time?
Go back to the Democrat Underground where you belong.

You are an idiot.
I'll give Trump this much. He's slightly less liberal than Biden is.
The only things expanding are Ron’s ego and maybe his wallet from being paid to say and do anything to help oust Trump from the race.
DeSantis has had a government paycheck for every job in his life.
He fought to get where he is today .
He is Governor because he begged Trump to endorse him
- and because his gay meth opponent was founded passed
out in a hotel room with a gay hooker.
Trump got 400 million from Dad in the 1970s .
“You shall not covet your neighbor’s house.
You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his male
or female servant, his ox or donkey, or anything that
belongs to your neighbor.”
And Trump has worked his whole life creating real things in the world, unlike Desantis.
In regards to how much money Trump inherited, your number is ridiculous.

Is that you Ron DS?
Did you ever notice the FBI, deep state, lying media, corrupt Republicans/Democrats, Hollywood, Communist, Globalist, BLM, Soros, Anfifa, and DeSantis supporters all want to get rid of Trump?
Seems a bit odd. No?
Don’t count on switching, Governor!
Get that a man a rim shot for his comedy routine.
Hmmm, who do I want? Some guy who's only job outside government was a grade school teacher for one year, or a guy who created a planet wide empire?
That's a tough one burt.
Ping!
Queue the Anthony Edwards “Goose” laugh...oh Jesus, oh you kill me....!
Hey burt, when Trump is once again in the Oval Office, will you ping me when you blow your cork? It’ll be like watching the media do the headless chicken dance.
