“What did he (Trump) promised to do during his presidency?
Really? He balanced the budget? paid of the national debt?
built a wall? .... do I need to go on?”
mass55th:
“Desantis did what he promised to do during his Governance of Florida?”
DeSantis wouldn’t have got jack-$hit accomplished if he hadn’t had a more than 2-1 Republican majority in both Houses of the State Legislature. He didn’t do any of it by himself. He’s never had to deal with a Democrat majority, not even when he served in the House. Republicans were in charge of the House the whole time he served in D.C.”

Answer by USA-FRANCE:
Well, well... I got two opposing answers here. One pro Desantis and one pro Trump. You represent TWO distinct categories of voters within the Republican party.
But the thing is... there is a THIRD category. One that supports BOTH Trump and Desantis. That’s a wiser category which I am supporting.
Because we don’t have the luxury to divide our party again. It will only let the Democrats win for ever - because they know how to stick together, at any cost... at the expense of America and the Republicans.
Trump and Desantis Republicans must learn to respect each other and learn to collaborate. There is no other way.
The logical solution I see is to vote for Trump in 2024 and for Desantin in 2028. Its fair. I don’t see how and Republicans can refute such a pragmatic solution.
Um, no. I don't have to respect anyone until I think they've earned it.
I'll be voting for Trump next November if I'm still alive. If he's not on the ballot, I will write him in. As far as 2028, that's much too far away to consider anyone for the Republican candidate. If I'm lucky enough to be alive to vote in 2028, I still wouldn't vote for DeSantis. He's lucky he can't run for Governor again, because I believe he's burned his bridges running for President, when he clearly told the people of Florida he would finish his term.
You don't decide you're going to run for President overnight. It takes time and planning. He didn't just decide he was running for President five months after he was re-elected. He already knew before last year's election. And, because he had no faith in his own ability to run, and win, he had the State Legislature changed the Resign-to-Run law, to ensure he'd still get a paycheck, and so when he crashed and burned, he'd have his Governor's office to go back to. The only other Republican Governor to get the law changed was Charlie Crist (Republican/Rino/Democrat), because he thought he had a shot at McCain's V.P. slot. It was Governor Rick Scott who had the law changed back to its original form. DeSantis also got the Legislature to change part of The Sunshine Laws so that all of his past and future travels, where he goes, who he meets with, etc., will be hidden from everyone. I can't respect anyone that uses the Republican-controlled Florida State Legislature to help himself pursue his political future.
Trump is damaged goods. Time to cut him loose and go into battle with a new general. That general is DeSantis.
