DeSantis was supposed to save the GOP from Trump, not endorse him
Miami Herald ^ | 1/21/24 | THE MIAMI HERALD EDITORIAL BOARD

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis didn’t save the Republican Party after all, or America for that matter.

Two days before the New Hampshire primary election, DeSantis suspended his campaign for president on Sunday.

As he exited, he endorsed former President Donald J. Trump. Of course, he had no choice. The Florida governor tried to sell voters the idea that he’s just like Trump, but more electable, more reasonable — but also more conservative. That didn’t work because, in the end, DeSantis’ brand wouldn’t exist without MAGA.

Those phonies and others endorsed Biden in 2020 and the Rats still had to cheat to win. None of the UniParty media/pundits do anything other than fill TV time without making close to the impact on voters they should given their media monopoly.

DeSantis might have been MAGA at one point but he was co-opted by the RINO wing of the Republican party.

Totally 'misinformation' my good FRiend.

Governor DeSantis maintained his powerful and extensive Conservative creds before and during the campaign.

Please consider reading his book, btw.

This reminds me of the story of Cleopatra’s famous berry.

It was the largest most beautiful berry ever grown. When Mark Antony first arrived in Egypt there was a rumor that he was there to steal the berry. So he went to Cleopatra and said to her:

“I come to praise your berry, not to seize it”

Well, that’s how the Left saw it.

Sadly...

The GOP Establishment threw RON DESANTIS overboard for NIKKI HALEY. RON wisely grabbed the TRUMP lifeboat to save his political future.

Well he came across pretty poorly in the campaign, in which he got totally destroyed by Donald Trump.

He was pretty much put up to this campaign by the Deep State. He was counting on the fact that Trump would be put in jail by now.

Also, his Deep State handlers did him no favors by putting him in high heeled boots and putting him in totally cringe-worthy appearances.

He might have been MAGA at one point but now his political career is utterly destroyed. He thought Trump would be put in jail and he ended up being wrong.

Trump told Fox News late Sunday that he was “very honored,” by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’ endorsement for the presidential race, and that he was looking forward “to working together with him to beat Joe Biden.” Trump also criticized Biden, “who is the worst and most corrupt president in the history of our country.” (Ynet)

"Supposed to"?

Obviously dems wanted to "Stop Trump." Who were the GOP characters pushing the idea? Bush clan, but who else was publicly chanting the mantra?

I guess I'm almost relieved DeSantis is out. Now I don't feel obliged to vote for the party that just passed another spending bill with

Well DeSantis bent the knee to Trump today so it may be alright in the end.

Who is THEY? I think RDS would make a much better general election candidate and president, but only a fool will reject Trump now.
