DeSantis was on the latest This Week on ABC and told host Jon Karl that Trump wants a party defined solely by loyalty to him, and not by commitment to principles or “delivering” on them for voters.
“Is that what’s going on?” asked Karl. “Because we are now seeing this stampede of elected Republican officials endorsing Donald Trump.”
DESANTIS: Well, you’ll have to ask them. I mean, I can tell you this. I mean, I do know elected officials who encouraged me to run and say they’re going to vote for me in a primary, but yet have endorsed Donald Trump. That’s just the reality of the situation.
And I think Trump is trying to make it to where someone that kisses the ring, even if they’re not faithful to the core conservative values, somehow they’re a member in good standing just by doing that.

So what is worth more? Endorsement from an elected rep, or a single vote? If a DeSantis “supporter” is that much of a coward and hypocrite, why would you brag about it?
He totalled toasted himself by running this year. I am losing more and more respect for him by the minute.
As to this stunt: either he is telling the truth and there are a lot of hypocritical rats out there and he is falling for them, or he is lying.
Bizarre, but this is a bizarre year. I can see it.
So, like, 25 votes for Desanctis? Dispersed among fifty states?
So, DeSantis is openly proud to be the leader of cowards?
Tired of RINOs ruining the conservative brand.
I will never vote for DeSantis for president, even if he the only alternative to another Biden term.
A quick death is preferable to death by a thousand cuts.
He got off to such a great start as Florida governor. If only he had shown a little humility, he might still be at least a respected up-and-comer. He wasn’t ready, but could have spent the next several years getting ready. After one burst of arrogance after another, however, he now deserves the Larry Hogan award for magical thinking.
