There is no one in the Democrat party or Democrat media axis fit to shine this man’s boots.

Meet Ron Desantis. Born on September 14, 1978, in Jacksonville, Florida.

[1] He is of Italian descent.

I think this is the one they go after. Right now they’re distracted by trying to make Putin into a war criminal, but once that is out of the way, they’ll manufacture war crimes in Iraq and blane DeSantis for not prosecuting the ‘perpetrators’ (meaning US soldiers).

Anyway, just a guess, as they have to manufacture something on DeSantis.

...of course, they can also go back to their standard playbook and find a bunch of Leftist women that worked with DeSantis and start making up stories about what a horrible man he is. Or maybe they’ll do both.

That’s nice.

Gov guy from Yale. Guess he managed to tune out the woke crap there.

A guy who turned $2M into > $5B was recently denied his rightful Presidency by a gang of grim, vicious trash who are still sitting on the key codes of the nukes. In addition to tearing apart the US by allowing mass invasion and killing our economy.

That man has to be restored to the Presidency and the criminals prosecuted. Instead, the criminals themselves are prosecuting his supporters and of course, him.

DeSantis seems like a good guy. But it isn’t his time...yet.

One man’s time is not yet up. He is a figure for the ages, and he is not done.

He has been in politics over 10 years.

That makes him part of the Swamp. There is no escaping this. He is part of the Swamp.

He’s not a SEAL. As if that mattered. He never completed the physical training for SEAL designation. He was a lawyer in the military. Nothing more. Nothing wrong with that, and maybe it’s more admirable ambulance chasing those years, but don’t try to equate sitting in the Green zone filling out divorce papers for troops stationed in Iraq with being out on armed patrol. People who spent time in country got a Bronze Star. Good for him, but it’s not combat experience.

For him to qualify as admirable, he will have to leave politics for about 10 years. Anyone see that happening?

Appending to my note- you have to compare this to that puppet pretending to be leader of the free world. Brandon’s accomplishment is what exactly? Getting elected repeatedly? Riding Barry’s coattails into a VP role? Being involved in fraud? Questionable behavior around females? Plagiarism? Non-stop gaffes?
Stupidity? Being the benefactor of a stolen election? He’s the epitome of a career politician that does no real good other than enriching himself.

Bidet is not worthy of polishing Gov. DeSantis boots. Licking them maybe, butthe deviant in chief would probably get his jollies from it.

Although, to have been selected for that duty position, he was viewed as a “seal among attorneys”, if you understand that any assignment to that unit is not mere happenstance.

One more thing “ what you don’t know about Fla Gov. Ron DeSantis”. He’ll be the next President of the United States, to begin the process of savings our Republic from “enemies both foreign and domestic”.

Good grief.
You would probably find fault with Jesus. Didn’t Jesus choose Peter & Paul?
Oops!!
Jesus also had that Judas dude on his team.

He’s like a blooming rose in our party. That’s the good news.

The bad news is how his opponent came within a whisker of defeating him. That tells you enough about the voters.

He should wait. Only the democrats can elect someone his age, appealing to youth. With him running in’28 he can keep the senators at bay. Executive experience is more important to us than the democrats-Just look at Biden.

DeSantis was an unknown entity and beat Gillum during a blue wave election. And since then he's established himself as a solid conservative, a fighter who doesn't back down and actually goes on the offensive, and the best governor in the United States.

Virtually nobody today sees Charlie Crist even coming close.

Put this resume next to Bidens and you will see one familiar trait.

The one trait he has in common with Biden is that he’s never worked outside government.

He is everything Trump isn’t.

See comment above. The last thing this country needs in the White Hiuse right now is another Ivy League lawyer who has never worked outside government in his life.

Well, as far as we know, Jesus had no combat experience.

Exactly, DeSantis defeated the GOPe candidate in the Primary, and the GOPe was lukewarm at best to DeSantis during the General. But of course they all claim now to have supported him all along.

Sounds like the GOP with Reagan, oh sure, they all loved him after his first term. They hated his guts in the 70s.

At some point, he will become the first elected President to have played in the LLWS. That will be a big deal in Williamsport.

Pinnacle experience with two elected branches of government and award-winning practical experience with the legalities branch and the military. Successful in sports. Good family man. Christian. Great sense of humor. Best Sturgeon General appt. Only gov to stand between innocent babies and the Trump SwampVax. Plus, Italian.

Whether he runs in 2024 or not, Ron is the most qualified prez candidate in our lifetimes.

I haven’t read ONE DAM COMMENT FROM YOU FREEPERS...except that he is a native Floridian! No wonder they call REPUBLICANS the STUPID party.

Hell of a thing to get your panties in a wad over. Native Floridian is a rarity. Don’t know what you’re reading into that.

Are we all supposed to be sycophants and just pat each other on the back in each post while commenting what a great governor he is? I think most of us can agree on that
