Republican presidential candidate Gov. Ron DeSantis rattled off a list of what he deemed to be broken 2016 campaign promises by former President Donald Trump, saying he’d rather attack the GOP front-runner on the issues than personality.
"Substantively, we've been very frank about our differences with respect to the former president," the Florida governor said. "I mean, for example, he promised to drain the swamp – it got worse. He did not drain the swamp.
"He promised to have Mexico pay for a border wall. They did like 50 miles of wall. There's massive expanses still there," he continued. "He said he was going to eliminate the national debt. They added almost $8 trillion to the debt in four years.
"And of course, in 2020, he turned the country over to Dr. [Anthony] Fauci, and those lockdowns and the borrowing and printing really set us on a bad course," he added. "I've been very, very frank at that."

I guess a bot wouldn’t be able to recognize nuances and sarcasm. Have your programmers work on that.
“I went bankrupt and got divorced under Trump.”
Pathetic. I got breast cancer under Obama. IT’S OBAMA’S FAULT?
>>”Trump failed [at building the wall] I don’t see any likelihood have him succeeding on a second try”.
You don’t see Trump finishing it in a second try? What intelligent reason can you possibly have for taking such a position? He built just under 500 miles in his first term with severe headwinds, and has made finishing it in a second term, one of his main promises. It will be easier to do in a second term, not harder.
>>Mmaybe DeSantis will fail, but I would like to see him take a shot at it. He’s been successful at everything. He’s done so far.
Leaving aside for the moment that he’s never had to face the problems he would be facing as President, before and never had to deal with the resistance of Congress and the deep state in general before, he’s been successful at everything? How about stopping the homeowner’s insurance crisis Florida’s now experiencing? He called a special legislative session last year to try and deal with it and yet the problem has only gotten worse. Success? Hardly. How about his feud with Disney? Has he gotten Disney to bend to his will? I’m not seeing it. Success? No. Stalemate at best. And most of the problems he’d be facing as President would be more difficult than those.
“My understanding is that it was Pelosi who directed them to refuse.”
Yes ... According to the head of Capitol Police. Then she just “happened” to be sure her film-maker daughter was standing by with full film crew to capture Pelosi’s handiwork in real time.
Is true what you say about the Trump-McCain issue. Trump was wrong to say it. McCain was wrong to ruin America’s healthcare system because he was a whiny little thin-skinned bitch. He could survive months/years as a POW, but not one 10-second verbal insult?
“I am really saddened that you persist in twisting facts to fit your narrative.”
Do you believe GE is a humanoid? It’s posts seem very AI to me. It’s almost funny to see how they flow.
“DeSantis spent his early adult life with the Navy Seals”
Is that where he learned to betray people who go out of their way to help him? RD, Pence, Ronna ... Not impressed by their glaring character flaws.
I think that ship has sailed.
“I voted for Trump on the promise of building a wall”
So you’re a one-issue voter and not one of his accomplishments matters to you? Very myopic and w little sad.
I’m not thrilled with Reagan and his amnesty for illegals, but his accomplishments were greater than that one issue.
DeSantis has proven he will use anyone to get to the top. That is a quality many use but it isn’t a good quality.
By the way, did he borrow that purple tie from the Clintons?
“He says ‘they’ call it the gay national anthem not that he thinks it is.”
This is the same lie that Never Trumpers use when it comes to abortion. He said that “some” believe a certain time period is good or bad. The Never Trumpers lie and say that Trump believes that. He himself never said such a thing.
He was born in NY, both his parents were legal immigrants and he’s an American citizen from what I’ve read about him.
Perfect. I like him a lot when he’s on War Room.
He is Hindu, though, FWIW.
He’s said he would have the war over in 24 hours, so I sure as hell hope he’s past the sketching phase and onto the resolution phase. Here’s a resolution: “when I’m president, all war funding halts immediately”. Why isn’t this globalist stooge announcing THAT plan?
I said he gave no reason for why he chose the new nickname of “beautiful” for Hillary. Do you think that is an accurate nickname for her, or ridiculous? So Republicans are Little Marco, Lyin Ted, DeSanctimonious, etc, but Hillary is Beautiful?
And as far as why he changed it, he can’t come up with something new for Biden, like Dirty Joe? The whole thing just seems pathetic.
You are getting ridiculous and desperate. LOL. DeFlop is going down.
If you want my body and you think I'm sexy
Come on, sugar, let me know
If you really need me, just reach out and touch me
Come on, honey, tell me so, tell me so, baby
Don’t forget, Russia, Russia, Russia ! 💋Hillary
Whose fault is that, exactly? I’d call it Trump’s fault, when EVERYONE told him it was a horrible idea to have the rally, in advance.
He didn’t even double check? Here Nancy, I’m going to trust you to secure my riot, LOL.
He could have paid for some security himself, if he cared, he had just been given $250 million that month to “stop the steal.”
