Pritzker: DeSantis ‘isn’t smart enough to be president’
The Hill ^ | 08/01/2023 | SARAH FORTINSKY

Posted on 08/01/2023 12:38:49 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker (D) fired back at Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) after the 2024 presidential candidate attacked a state law Pitzker signed letting non-U.S. citizens apply to be police officers.

“This man isn’t smart enough to be president,” Pritzker said of DeSantis on Monday, writing a post on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter.

“I proudly signed the bill allowing legal permanent residents & DACA recipients in IL to serve their communities as police officers. Our military already does it & it’s the right thing to do—no matter what lies the right-wing spreads,” Pritzker continued.

JB Pritzker said Ron DeSantis is not smart enough to be president?
Boy Howdy! Looking at what we have for a ‘president’ these days, them could be considered fighting words.
Now, we will see if DeSantis has the grit to be president. I would suggest pistols at 10 paces at dawn.

“I’ve been assured that “Rob DeSankdis” is a deep state commie plant sent by the WEF to destroy us all, and all his good work in Florida was just a psyop to throw us off.”

I’ve read that Trump is deep-state also.

These guys are both deep enough to fool me. It’s the in-your-face liberal idiots I worry about.

And then again, some Republican state governors went on to be great Presidents. Do I need to name them?

“Pritzker is too fat to be president.”

Well he could have Christi as his VP to make him look good.

Apparently, the good conservatives in Indiana and Iowa are welcoming good conservatives leaving Illinois to get away from the Thugs, who control Illinois, like Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker (D)!

I’ve even made lists of sources that show Desantis is a real conservative and not deep state. It seems to have no effect on the Desantis hater..it’s like there simmering rage makes them have armor that deflects any other thought.

Like a red eyed angry bull…inflamed with nothing else on its mind but to gore its target.

Here is one of my longer lists I made…to absolutely zero effect on the recipient:
————————————————————————————————————-
Guess who else hates Desantis besides you and similar?

Leftist news magazines. Thank about that…maybe just maybe you are reading things wrong.

https://apnews.com/article/desantis-laws-2024-president-election-abortion-florida-668ae3101e3d7d7f61dd9925b419ee6e

But that apparently has as much impact on you as rain on a ducks back. I say that because I have you a whole list of strongly conservative actions a week or 2 ago:

Funny how a large group here are convinced Desantis is Soros reincarnate, Devil Spawn and deeper than deep state.

Yet the far left deep state magazines seem to have missed the memo as they hate him as well.

Odd…

Go Desantis 2024—Go Trump 2024. (fine with either)

Here we go again……..the dumb Republican candidate theme.

Yale, Harvard Law, Navy Justice School, legal advisor to Seal Team One, Florida Congressman, Florida Governor. His accomplishments are unending.

“This man isn’t smart enough to be president,”

By making that statement, I fully expect Donald Trump to join the Pritzker fan club shortly!

You appear to have jumped to an incorrect conclusion, that since I disdain those who compulsively are always talking smack about the most effective, most conservative governor currently in office, that I am against Trump. Nothing could be farther from the truth. I voted for the Donald in both 2016 and 2020, and will gladly do so again.

I will also gladly pull the lever for DeSantis as well, should be end up being the nominee. That's more than some folks here can say. Which is self-destructive, in my opinion.

Does DeSantis have the mettle to mock Pritzker?

There’s no high road to take with these scumbags

Desantis is an excellent true right wing Governor. He has efficiently fought against wokism. In a bit more than 5 years he could very well become the POTUS.

But history in on Trump’s side concerning the upcoming election. He deserves to be re-elected in 2024. If he wins, after all the craziness that has been attempted against him to force him out of the race, I think it will give him the mandate and the power needed to end once and for all : the SWAMP.
At that point he would have nothing to lose, it will be his last mandate as president, and that’ll give him immense power to do what he must do for America.

I’m also pretty sure he’ll find a way to force Russia out of Ukraine. Not in 24 hours... but within 30 days. He was the toughest President ever against Russia, Putin is profoundly afraid of Trump. After all, Trump threatened to annihilate Moscow in case in case Kremlin decided to invade Ukraine. No wonder Russia didn’t do anything against Ukraine during the Trump administration...

No that could make DC tip over. Add Nadler and it may take Maryland and Virginia too.
