For DeSantis, policy positions have not really been an issue. The big obstacle is convincing a loyal base to ditch Trump. He's been hit by the MAGA movement because they believe he should have waited his turn and not run against Trump.
DeSantis told CBN News, "Everyone has a right to be able to run. Obviously, Trump could win the primary. I'm not convinced he can win the general (election). I can."
"I would say if I could have one thing change, I wish Trump hadn't been indicted on any of this stuff.
I think, someone like a Bragg would not have brought that case if it was anyone other than Donald Trump and so someone like that is distorting justice, which is bad, but I also think it distorted the primary," he explained.
When pressed to clarify if he means it helped Trump, DeSantis noted, "It's both that but then it also just crowded out I think so much other stuff and it's sucked out a lot of oxygen."

I agree with DeSantis, that having military experience is important before you become commander in chief and start sending our boys to places where they may die

This dullard couldn’t even beat Biden. He is Jeb #2.

The bottom line is that in today’s world, no President should be sending anyone’s sons or daughters to fight in a war that doesn’t concern us. You don’t need military experience to know that.

whoever says it’s about DeSantis should have waited his turn is not looking at desantis in full.
desantis has lied to his states people, has done NOTHING of real significance to stop the flow of illegals into FL (shipping them to tower states or dumping the problem on employers is NOT the governor taking the problem and solving it by closing his taxes borders which he has the authority to do. desantis has not truly made life better for his states people instead he did some temporary things many of which have back handed problems to come. Desantis has run a pretend campaign and finally come clean in recent months only to crash and burn, even his own wife is doing him more harm then good with regards to campaigning, his campaign support is hemmoraging in all levels of people, etc etc etc ..... yet some people want to say it’s about he didn’t wait his turn.
he never will make a good president because he truly its not a decent governor and has integrity issues as a person. Ron doesn’t care that he lies and is self serving more than caring for actual people. I have still not hear or read of a single instance where Ron himself gave money or true help to some average person out of his own pocket without it being for show or to help himself in some way. Any decent person has done such a thing. you never hear of Dems or Rinos and the like giving like that yet there were several reports of trump helping out of his own pocket and no big mention of it at the time but came to light as he ran for office. Trump, unlike desantis and all the others, was sincere.

This guy really is a piece of work. During a CBN interview, DeSantis was asked about the politically motivated DOJ attacks against President Donald Trump. Within his response, the Florida governor found a way to make himself a victim, claiming the persecution of Trump skewed the GOP primary race and hurt the other candidates. WATCH:
As the career light dims to a slow fade away in the corner of DeSantis’ eye, it remains important to keep focus on why this catastrophic collapse was beneficial to the MAGA movement.
DeSantis had no option but to run in this ’24 race, because that was the design going back to when he left Congress in 2018. However, we dodged a bullet, because Ron would have likely been a shoo-in for 2028 if the Sea Island multinationals had chosen to play the Nikki Haley card first.
If there’s one lesson to be learned in all of this, it would be to remind ourselves that the GOPe club never stops working on the illusion of choice.

“Books are going to written about how badly such a rising star like Desantis ruined his career.”
easy books to write: just dust off all the books written about ted cruz losing and start by using a word processor to replace all instances of “Ted Cruz” with “Ron DeSantis” ...

Can’t disagree with anything you just said.
A lot more going on behind the scenes than we actually know.
As you said, common sense does however lead us down a path...

This guy is delusional. He was never a big deal anywhere but in Florida and in his own mind. You aren’t even close to being Trump, Ron.
Some of these Governors think everyone all over the country pays attention to who is Governor in other States
They do not. Only political junkies pay some attention to it.
