Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that former President Donald Trump was too old to be president of the United States.
Anchor Jake Tapper said, “Your campaign keeps a running list and keeps tweeting a running list of Donald Trump’s fumbles and accidents and confused moments, that’s what they call them, saying this is why his handlers won’t let him debate, noting times that trump has forgot what state he is in, times he has confused Biden and Obama, confused Kristi Noem and on and on. What do you think about Donald Trump’s mental fitness? Do you think he’s too old to be president?”
DeSantis said, “I have said publicly the president is not a job for an 80-year-old. Donald Trump will be order on July 2025 than Biden was in January 2021. But this is not the same guy as the Trump in 2015 and ’16. That guy would show up on the debate stage, he would barnstorm. Yes, he was off-color, he was edgy, but it was all part of an idea that he was really going to shake things up. Now he’s wedded to the teleprompter, he’s not willing to debate, and he’s running on many of the same things he promised to do in 2016 and didn’t deliver.”

Just speaking for one’s own self, one will never affirmatively cast a ballot for Ron DeSantis.
Think in a different light.
Consider Governor De Santis as the Republican bench. Then rethink your statement
OK, Give me a minute and I’ll think about it.
If the Republican PTB are determined to help the Democrats take this country to hell, they'll do it without my vote.
Trump lacks common sense imo. Calling opponents “Desanctimonious” and “Birdbrain” is not someone I’d vote for. Voted for him twice but not again. Imo his goal is to deny anyone else the nomination, which savvy Dems will likely help him do. He’ll lose but he won’t care as long as no other R gets a chance.
Ron D is too self self serving and ambitious to serve as POTUS or for that matter the governor of Florida.
Screw him.
This is not new behavior for Trump though. Its no secret he is over the top and it is why he succeeds. He is a troll. Once you get by the bloviating he is actually a fine speaker with great ideas and the great ideas is all anyone should really care about imho
>>”Calling opponents “Desanctimonious” and “Birdbrain” is not someone I’d vote for. Voted for him twice but not again.”
You voted for him twice? Suuuuuurrree you did! You were fine voting for him when he called his opponents “lyin’ Ted”, “Little Marco”, etc.? But somehow “Desanctimonious” and “Birdbrain” are over the top for you? I’m not buying it. You’re what’s known as a concern troll.
>>”Imo [Trump’s] goal is to deny anyone else the nomination..”
Isn’t that the point? Everyone running is trying to deny the other candidates from getting the nomination. That’s how elections work. What was that you said about common sense? You could use a good dose of it yourself.
Go the eff home Ron! 🙄
I think Reagan had the best response to questions about his age.
“I will not make age an issue of this campaign. I am not going to exploit, for political purposes, my opponent’s youth and inexperience.”
Mondale knew right there, his chances of winning in ‘84 were gone.
I agree. I liked what DeSantis was doing as governor but the minute he came out against Trump, he lost me.
