Quote: “DeSantis is not a “compromise candidate” in any way. He is an establishment stooge no different than any of the other corrupt @ssholes in the GOP political machine.”
That’s a stupid right there. All this hub hub about DeSantis is just the GOPe’s way of trying to divide MAGA voters. They will “back” him if it defeats Trump and then abandon DeSantis. Ron knows this. He isn’t an idiot.
The problem is that all too often, it DOESN’T work for the people who pay the bills and employ these political figures.
I would suggest that every Freeper should sit down and review Ron DeSantis’ background carefully. Just list up to a half-dozen (or more) things that stand out from his biography — Ivy League (twice) lawyer … brief tenure at DOJ … career politician … never worked outside government … etc. If you read that biographical profile and didn’t associate it with a specific person, you’d swear it fit the profile of a “Deep State” political operative to a T.
Now look around Washington these days. The place is filled with these people, and Donald Trump ran for office to fight this kind of sh!t.
Ron DeSantis is “managed,” for sure. He will play the role of the outsider and the renegade while he must, but when push comes to shove and he’s faced with a consequential decision in the White House where his principles are up against the financial interests behind the political forces there … you can be damn sure he’s going to come down on the side of Exxon/Mobil, Boeing, Raytheon, the John McCain Institute, and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
Until then, he’s just George W. Bush in 2000 … insisting that the U.S. should never get involved in “nation building” around the globe.
It’s amazing how easily so many people here are fooled by this nonsense.
