[You call a guy who went to Yale and Harvard a “working class” guy? The only actual job DeSantis held was school teacher for a short time. The rest of the time he’s been a JAG Corp lawyer and a politician.]


Are you contending that Trump, whose dad paid for his education and gave him tens of millions of dollars to start his business is the working class guy? Working class is about origins - DeSantis comes from a humble background and worked his butt off to get where he is. Trump’s a silver spooner because he started on third base.

Trump’s sociopathy, sense of entitlement and screwing over of everyone he deals with comes from the fact that he’s never had to struggle. DeSantis’s empathy - that’s a result of having to struggle for every single thing he’s ever achieved.

DeSantis cares about working class parents not having to worry about their kids getting groomed in public schools because like his parents, they can’t afford private school. Trump doesn’t give a damn about public schoolchildren being groomed because his children and grandchildren are going private schools where none of this stuff is allowed. That’s why Trump went to bat for Tranheiser Busch and Disney - not his problem.


[Trump’s strong support from working class Americans is the reason he was successful in 2016. Think about it.]

Trump doesn’t have much support from the electorate. He got a smaller % of the popular vote than Romney, twice. Lest anyone forgets, Romney was a corporate raider (which was what they used to call private equity) before he jumped into politics. When you get a smaller % of the popular vote than Gordon Gekko the soulless Wall Street leech who’s also a Mormon, whom a good chunk of the GOP electorate sees as a heretic, you’ve got a big problem.

Except giving Biden a second term isn’t really a problem for Trump. He’s a billionaire. He’s got private security and lives in a one-percenter bubble. Trump’s not the one to suffer from his own inevitable defeat. We are.

Why are they destroying copies of all the books Ron DeSantis wrote while in Congress?

Used copies are selling for $2,000 now on ebay and Amazon.

Emmm...

Because he doesn't want people to ask him anything about why he didn't write about the death of his sister in his book?

"Although he acknowledged Christina DeSantis's death eight years ago, he has never spoken about it publicly or revealed how she died – in direct contrast to the openness with which he has talked about his wife Casey's battle with breast cancer."

Ron DeSantis did not write about death of younger sister Christina in his memoir

Since you don't know when he's telling lies or not, you'll have to judge if he's telling another lie again with his reason.

Can Florida get rid of DeBackstabber in some way, recall or impeachment?

Yeah ya gotta go back to DeSantis daddy to get working class and reference stupid stereotypical mannerisms. Nobody on God’s green earth was as well liked and thought of as Trump was and is among the working class people who worked for him on his projects. DeSantis has PROVEN himself DeepState with his jumping in against the most successful president we’ve ever seen. I don’t give a damn how this Ivy Leaguer phonies up his working class mannerisms he’s a deceitful piece of shit. And I was glad for his coming along. I thought “Trump has some backup and we’ve got a little bit of bench for the future maybe it’s a trend”. Yeah no such luck.

And where is that?

The guy is an Ivy League lawyer who has never worked outside government. This is the type of person who retires with $10M+ in the bank after working for 20 years on a $120,000 salary. No, thanks. Give me the guy who will go down in history as the only one to leave the White House less wealthy than he was when he moved in.

http://news.yahoo.com/desantis-opens-first-time-shattering-164134632.html, article titled “DeSantis opens up for the first time about ‘shattering’ death of his sister, Christina, at age 30”

Isn’t it a reach to criticize someone for not writing about a painful event in his life?

That’s not true.

He worked as an electrician helper in summers in his college years.

I like the real one better, The bull in the China shop. You may not like hisbrazen personality but he isn’t role playing.

The truth about people is that the people who are up front and not a pretender may, or may not be, as bland as you like, but you know what you are getting and it is real.

Ist one doesn’t have to be a “never Trumper” to consider an alternative candidate in the primaries. I’m considering Desantis yet I will happily vote for Trump again if he gets the nomination.

2nd there is a reason why we will need a replacement eventually. It’s called AGE.

Don’t understand why everything has to be so dramatic and divided into good and bad , we versus them camps on this.

Since desantis has been shown to be deceiptive and a liar...

Tell us how you can tell when he's telling the truth about things or not?

Vocal desantis FR supporters lack integrity...

They remind me of the new breed of paid professional candidate staff. They have no qualms about repeating lies, even if they know the truth.

He sure has a long way to go then. He’s been working for the government since 2004 and he’s only worth under 400k. He’ll have to really kick into high gear since it’s been 19 years already. Only 1 more year to make those millions!

One thing that desantis can't match is Trump's honest and having more integrity.....

LOL! Every poll ever taken on this show Americans across the board don’t believe Trump is honest. A FOX poll from April 2020 showed his honesty rating was 15%. But you’re entitled to your own opinion, of course.

That is very true, but I believe they are talking about very specific hand moves.

My 88 year old pastor often said, “If GOD has something for you to do , he’ll preserve you like a pickle.”
