>>”DeSantis has stood up to giant corporations, leftist DAs, and all sorts of opponents. He has beaten them all and done massive good work for conservative principles and policies. He leads. Every day. DeSantis delivers.”

You talk about DeSantis beating them all. But who has DeSantis faced? My local high school football team went undefeated, but look at who they played. You can invoke the “He took on Disney” mantra if you like, but the fact is he signed a bill handed to him by the Florida legislature.

The Reedy Creek repeal effort wasn’t even initiated by DeSantis. The effort started among lawmakers in the Florida legislature and when they passed the bill, DeSantis signed it.

Imagine if Donald Trump were dealing with that sort of legislature instead of Congress. Or better yet, imagine what DeSantis would have accomplished if he had been dealing with Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer rather than a Republican super-majority. If you can’t tell the difference between being a red state governor and being president of the United States, then you don’t understand the world we live in.

And you respond to comments of mine like “Ron wanted to derail the MAGA movement” with “Simply False” or “That’s another falsehood”. Do you have proof that they’re false? Of course not. You have an opinion and I have a different one.
Did you not learn the difference between fact and opinion in elementary school? And when you respond to my reference about “DeSantis’s RINO backers” with “Another falsehood”, you’re either ignorant or simply lying.

The problem with your posts is that you reflexively respond to comments that upset you with pat answers like “That’s simply false” and either move on or if you bother to follow up such assertions, do so with facts that don’t make your case. Or you respond with answers like “[DeSantis has] been one of President Trump’s staunchest defenders” or “he’s delivered for the people of his state”, as if simply saying them makes them true. Those are campaign slogans, not informed responses.

A bot could do a better job of making its case than you.

DeSantis has stood down the teacher’s unions, major corporations, lefty DAs, and others.

DeSantis beat them all.

You’re the one making a charge (that DeSantis is trying to derail MAGA.) The burden of proof is on you. You have no evidence, except that someone told you that.

The fact is that his donor records, his record in Congress, his record as governor, the support he’s given President Trump all say you’re not telling the truth when you make that claim.

If DeSantis were dealing with Chuck and Nancy, he’d have plenty of achievement. He has proven his mettle.

How much did President Trump accomplish working with the two of them? Not a lot. The MAGA argument for why Trump didn’t do more was that he was blocked at every turn. Ron DeSantis hasn’t been. He figures out how to beat the blocks.

Governor DeSantis has a proven record, which you choose to dismiss.

You have made no factual statements, just assertions, which I have refuted.
