It is good to think about things before speaking out publicly on anything that happens.

No we should not have a knee-jerk reaction to events.

Yes, President Trumpv..who hasnt committed any crime..certainly not to the level of clinton.. obama or biden..

Anyhow, Trump held the same office DeSantis hopes to hold.
At the very laeast defend the office ?
If the office is no longer safe ..than NO ONE is safe.
Does he think he will not be next?
Reagan was about as sensible as a President as could be and the tore him up.

Trump’s unprovoked personal attacks have not made it easy for DeSantis to come to his aid. Nevertheless, DeSantis would incur much goodwill by coming to Trump’s aid — and he could be the next target.

This sums it up exactly. I don't know that any public statement by DeSantis or anyone else will aid Trump much - Bragg seems bent on indicting Trump regardless of the lack of merit in the charge. But highly politicized charges by a district attorney and the weaponization of the legal system against political opponents deserve a response by DeSantis if he wants relevance on the national stage. It's time to speak up.

Ramaswamy is asking. Don’t you bother to even read the articles you post?

Good point. Let’s wait and see what the actual indictment and the actual criminal charge is.

As an aside, just watching some of the news media, I’m confused about what the alleged criminal offense is.

Apparently there’s something to do with Stormy Daniels, and the non disclosure agreement that Trump had with her. But there is nothing illegal about non-disclosure agreements. So I look forward , as all of us do , to find out what the exact criminal offense allegedly is.

Before this, I liked Vivek Ramaswamy.

Amateur Hour - demanding that other candidates publicly condemn something that has not even happened yet.

Trump’s unprovoked personal attacks have not made it easy for DeSantis to come to his aid.

There is an ongoing biased, politically charged, corrupt, thumb-on-the-scales process that DeSantis should speak out about -- as others who aren't Trump supporters have. Not doing so will destroy DeSantis' chances at the polls. Trump supporters will sit on their hands if he's the choice in the general, and many of DeSantis' supporters -- myself included -- will be hesitant to support him if he can't at least speak out for fairness and blind justice.

What Trump did -- and I believe he did it -- was wrong. But for the public who have followed Trump throughout his career, this behavior can't be a surprise to anyone. Paying this slut to go away isn't a crime in any real sense. People have paid people to go away since time immemorial.

DeSantis needs to step up and be a bigger man than Trump. He needs to denounce this process and call it out for what it is -- thorough corruption on the part of the left and the Democrat party. To not do so harms him, and tells us that he will not be the one to stand up to the Deep State and take decisive action to dismantle it...

Exactly.

Nobody knows what the charges are or even if there will be charges. Its just Trump saying this for now and I have no reason to think he made it up.

If it is bogus political nonsense, then everyone should speak up.

If it is a legitimate criminal charge with evidence, then speaking up beforehand is political suicide.

...Following News of Trump Indictment

Right now there are just rumors of a Trump indictment. When we are actually following a Trump indictment, there will probably be some action (unless Trump keeps up his attacks. Then he's going to be on his own.)

illegal, unconstitutional, and unethical action on the part of the N.Y. District Attorney

You mean the action that hasn't happened yet?

It is smarter to wait to hear the actual charges than to react before we know anything of detail.

When you are watching the lid being pulled over the coffin and you notice movement within, the smart thing to do is to stop the process before the first nail gets driven, not to wait until the last nail is driven. Ron, like most republicans, is a punk. He is waiting for his eGOP money masters to write his approved script.

DeSantis is not a bandwagon man. He is thoughtful and considered. He is not joining the news media and other hound dogs until there is something substantial to address.

Well, you are not very smart if you think speaking out before you know the facts is wise.

You are no different than those who immediately proclaim police brutality before they know the details.

You behave just like a leftist who doesn't know a damn thing, but spouts off anyway.

“Ron, like most republicans, is a punk.’

That remark erases any credibility you thought you had.

Are you the lead clown in your own three ring circus? If not, you're missing a golden opportunity.
