Everyone knows Jeb2.0, a.k.a. desantis, has been deceitful about planning to run for president, ever since crist asked desantis to deny it during a debate for governor.

desantis has also been hitting the campaign trail, going to various states, and now doing a foreign country tour to buff up his resume.

We know desantis was lying about not running for president, because the florida legislature just changed the law to allow him to do so, and still be governor.

So, desantis was lying then, is desantis still lying now?

It appears so, because desantis could easily stop speculation by just say he has no intent on running for president for the 2024 election and that decision is final....

What kind of game is DeSantis playing here? He’s full of games.

Reports of the death of the GOP due to bungling and infighting rivalries have been greatly exaggerated.

Trump helped him get elected, he showed no respect or loyalty to Trump
The people of Florida just re-elected him and he’s out galavanting all over the country showing no respect or loyalty to the people of Florida

Why would anyone think he would be loyal to the voters if the elected him president?

Its “the (s)Hill”, so I take anything published from that source with a grain of salt. However, I’ve said before that this business of “running but not running” is off putting. In fact, it raises some distrust, DeSantis’ record in Florida and the up till recent Florida law restraints notwithstanding.

sounds like ron dipped his toe, and now may be un-dipping it, esp. now that a tsunami of elected GOP leaders have endorsed Trump during the last week, and the gazillionaire donors he’s been trying to court are either deserting him or un-dipping their toes too ...

You people are pretty blind.

What happens when Trump self immolates and flames out leaving Chris Christie or Nikki Haley as our only option?

You say there’s no chance of Trump losing? Don’t be naive. Thank God DeSantis will be there to pick up the pieces if/when Trump is gone.

Will DeSantis toss his hat into the ring or not? Still an uncertainty at this point, although he has made some moves that could be construed as heading in that direction, including his current travel overseas, as well as a bill that just passed the Florida legislature that would remove the requirement to resign as governor before running for another office.

Of course, many governors do overseas junkets, and DeSantis has yet to sign the aforementioned bill into law, but that doesn't prevent his babbling detractors from acting as though it's all part of an evil, deep-state, neocon plan to hinder Donald Trump's shot at POTUS in 2024. Reality isn't a consideration with these sad, unfortunate folks.

As we saw here on FR years ago in the "Cruz vs. Trump wars", a fit of stupid, counterproductive squabbling that crippled this site's membership numbers ever since, we are again witnessing a mindless and destructive propensity to rail against good men simply because some folks here have lost all rationale.

The kind of rabid derangement that we often derided when we saw it rear its ugly head over at Democrat Underground has its kindred right here. We conservatives are supposed to do better. At present, we're not.

Keep on firing, you have crossed eyes and no brain.

Last night I was watching the Rangers/Devils Hockey game and what to my surprise? There was a DeSantis for President Spot… right during the last couple of minutes of the game. Lying SOS! How can we trust him? Answer, we can’t.
