"This ain't gonna win him any fans in The Villages. What a stupid thing for anyone--much less the Florida governor--to say."

Looks like Ron suffers from foot-in-mouth disease.

Ron DeSantis is absolutely right and everyone knows it.

It is a fair consideration. Right now Trump is in excellent health, definitely better than Biden. But what happens if either he or Biden to to the hospital, I think that will put this on the front burner. Until then, I think it is a big nothing. DeSantis turns 46 this week, Trump is 77.

But with Trump, fair to wonder about VP. Biden picked Harris, which is a disaster waiting to happen.

Apparently not. Perhaps you need to not use the word “everyone” Most people here do not agree. This stupid comment won’t go over well with older people.

Ron is so desperate and he doesn’t think about what he is saying.

It’s also not a job for any RINO with an IQ of 80 either!

“Biden picked Harris, which is a disaster waiting to happen.”

Yes, and she is a lot younger than Biden which totally demolishes this comment by The Meatball.

Being young does not make a person any more competent or more wise than an older person.

Biden-old and stupid pervert
Harris-unqualified moron but she is much younger.

Way to Go Ron in sinking your polls even lower by saying 80 is too old to be prez~ when quite a few of Florida Residents are at this age!
Every time he debates himself out loud he sounds more desperate to be heard!
What a Schmuck!

Trump. The election was stolen from him. And instead of piping up that the election was stolen, that clown saw daylight and tried to move in.

A decent man would have set his sights on 2028, and been super loud about the FACT that the election was stolen and that only restoring the rightful president could restore America. And haven’t heard him say a thing about the January 6 political prisoners. He also met Garland just before the Mar-a-Lago terrorist FBI raid.

It is also not a job for some nut who threatens a preemptive strike on N Korea for what? What have they done lately? Trump got them chilled out, although Blinken is prodding all out adversaries trying to make more money for the arms manufacturers. Sagging in the polls Sanctimonius?

Health, not age, should be the criteria.

I’m a couple months younger than Biden and very mentally alert. I’ve seen people 10 years older than I were were both mentally and physically better than me.

I’ve seen potheads in their 20s that would not get my vote for dog catcher.

Yup. What you said. If ever there was a calculating, duplicitous, back-stabbing, self-focused, ambitious politician.....it’s DeSantis.

I used to be a fan, and did not believe it at all when rumors started to swirl about him throwing his hat in the ring. I was stunned when he did. He could have supported Trump, may have even been considered VP or good position, and been a good bet for 2028.

Not now. No how. Most people still have some integrity - you just don’t do what he did to the man who helped you.

Having said that, his shipment of illegals to the Vineyard was pure gold.

Trump may not win, and won’t be around forever. DeSantis might be a good president some day. He and Trump may even make up some day and be pals.

We have never had an 80-year-old president for a reason.

It's too damn old. And Trump is not immune to the ravages of old age. He looks pretty unhealthy these days

As Ron is reduced to the cheap seats, he whines forth with cheap shots. No issues POTUS hasn’t already owned, or staked out.

He needs to back out and run Florida in the manner he has been accustomed.

Ron is low balling and it may hurt him in the future, to look like one more ambitious neverTrumper pol in the lineup.

So, how old is Fetterman? I think tat he is less fit than Biden? Mental acuity is an individual thing. You can’t over generalize.

Yep. Ron had a good script writer during his first four years as governor. And that’s what he was doing - following a script. The idea that in 2018, he suddenly became passionate about all the MAGA issues that had never concerned him before, is absurd.

Now his donors are asking him to play a different role and he’s totally reliant on the script they are giving him. He can’t think for himself.
