DeSantis’ stop at Rhythm City Casino Resort was his first visit to Iowa. Curiosity about the rising Republican star helped draw a healthy crowd: On a snowy, chilly weekday, more than 1,000 people had arrived by 9 a.m.


How big do you think Trump's crowd will be when he is there in Iowa this week?

Creepy to get inaugurated governor then 2 months later be out of Fla, in Iowa campaigning.

But..”oh he hasn’t declared. Leave him alone. Stop saying things about him”

Blechhh

What’s he even doing? Trump has him by 40+

Who does he work for? He has no personal fortune. He’s been a government employee.

Politicians only accomplish things via coalitions and though he has some good instincts, DeSantis has all of the wrong friends.

Trump has all of the right enemies.

Trump or nothing!

He’s telling many behind the scenes he’s running. Has lost 20 pounds. He’s running. Can’t wait to see Trump and DeSantis debate. He lacks Trump’s charisma and star power but I can see him beating Biden. I think we’re blessed that finally the top two Republicans are unafraid populists who enjoy sparring with liberals and not corporatist sellouts mouthing a few conservative bromides without heart. The Trump wing has replaced the Bush-Cheney corporate, globalist, o please like me media wing.

Professional career politicians care about one thing, moving into higher office with more power and influence.

Don’t trust The New York Times but DeSantis is talking to donors and fundraisers behind the scenes and it’s just obvious he’s preparing a presidential run.

Probably from stress. Unlike Trump who thrives on this kind of stuff. People file stress claims just reviewing Trump's itinerary. No career professional politician can keep up with supercharged Trump. He's proven this over and over.

When is Trump going to apologize for te-tweeting a post that called him the King of Israel?

He should wait until 2028, and spend the next 4yrs in FL, who elected him to fix their state. It’s not “his time”, yet.

I will just paraphrase what he said in his run for gov of FL: I’m running for gov of FL not pres of USA.

His implication was he would remain gov of FL until the end of his term as gov.

If not he is a liar.

I like both Trump and DeSantis. I see a lot of the same qualities in them. If DeSantis was bashful and stressed out he wouldn’t take on so many of the liberals’ sacred cows: Education loons, Disney, the vaccine, the media.
A DeSantis challenge will get Trump in debate shape and make sure he brings his A game for the 24 General. If he just coasted to a third nomination, maybe he’d lose the General.

Ron “Perot” DeSantis. Another disaster in the making.

Why apologize, unless you took it literally?
