Haha, I’m guessing you were a Cruz type in 2016. Same crowd, same “disgust” with Trump going after “Conservatives”. Desanctimonius is having other people run his campaign already. If he ever did get elected he’ll be supporting TPP ideas and won’t differ much from Bush.

yeah yeah but DESANCTIMONIOUS does not do mean tweets! The pearl clutching conservatives are deluded into thinking a nice and smooth talking DeSanctimonious is gonna win democrat voters in general!

DeSanctimonious will fold like a cheap suit when China puts the pressure on him. Only Trump has the balls to confront China. For simple reason TRUMP does not depend on political contributions and deals to live in Mar-a-Lago. DeSanctimonious depends entirely on rich supporters. Come on people open your thinking brain.

“I’m guessing you were a Cruz type”

No not all. I voted for Trump both elections, enthusiastically. 2016 primaries too.

But I think Desantis has done a good job as governor of my state. He certainly isn’t governing like a Rubio, Cruz, Nikki Haley establishment GOPe establishment politician.

Now, Trump is correct in a sense: Desantis DID close down Florida, to a degree. For about a month. But by May 2020 he was opening Florida up quickly and taking A LOT of heat for it. While other governors were still doing the mask mandates and other nonsense. Desantis was ahead of all the other governors on covid sanity.

Meanwhile… Trump kept the entire country shut down for months. Remember “15 days to flatten the curve”? “We’ll be open by Easter”? That was Trump! And he has the gall to say “shutdown Ron”?

Trump can’t rewrite history. We remember. He got played by Fauci (who he affectionately referred to as “Tony” and praised for months in 2020- cringe) et al - and Trump’s mishandling of covid - by not governing more like desantis- helped cost him the election.

I voted for Trump 2X and glad I did it. But he made a lot of grave errors as President example did not “drain the swamp”, “lock her up”, or fire Fauci etc when he should have. He surrounded himself with backstabbers and weirdos (Bolten? Scaramucci?).

Also I think Trump is too old- look what 80 years looks like on his “successor”. America needs someone sharp and on their game, and I think Trump’s recent tone deafness and frankly lies about Desantis suggest that he has already lost a step.
