WASHINGTON, May 17 (Reuters) - Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis will officially enter the 2024 U.S. presidential race next week, according to two sources familiar with the decision, immediately becoming Donald Trump's biggest rival for the Republican nomination and shaking up a contest that largely has been one-sided.

DeSantis will likely file paperwork declaring his candidacy on May 25 to coincide with a donor meeting in Miami, with a more formal launch the week of May 29, according to a source.

The invitation for the May 25 event stated that donors would be put to “work,” an apparent allusion to raising money for DeSantis, according to a source familiar with the event.

In a sense it is good the fool is taking the bait. We can burn down the RINO faction of the GOP ( again ) and then go on to beat brain-dead.

The hatred that Ron is about to generate against him will be white hot. You ain’t seen nuttin’.

__________________________________________

I believe you. And most of this hatred will come from so called conservatives who are lip-locked on Trump only.

And if Trump somehow is taken out of the race? You’ll stay home on election day.

Fools would say that about Mittens. Fools said that about McCain. But guess what? They held their nose and voted for tbe Repub anyway. You’ll do the same.

All these supposedly smart people, blind to the fact that we all need to work together to save the Republic, and know your role.

Ron did a great job moving FL in the deep red. But he has to know Americans want a DJT revenge tour.

Take your GOPe approved uniparty Plan B and shove it where the sun don’t shine.

_______________________________________________

I see you take your hateful approach directly from Trump’s playbook.

Uniparty? How many times did Trump embrace the Uniparty as president? His entire administration was staffed with Swamp Rats. Yet you accuse a DC outsider (RDS) as being part of the Uniparty.

You have a one track mind. Trump or nothing. You’re too afraid of opening your mind to anything else. People like you will guarantee both Trump and DeSantis are defeated and we have 4 more years of Biden in the White House.

He knows he can’t win; his doners know he can’t, so why are they doing this? Perhaps the real goal is to cause problems and discord instead. Swamp tactics.

Finally. An honest only Trumper.

You stay home. You stomp your foot and pout if you can’t vote for Trump. Meanwhile us conservatives will do whatever it takes to keep Biden out of the White House for 4 more years.

I will not stay at home. If I have to I am writing in Trump. I don’t expect to have to do that because he will be on the ballot and he will win.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Take a trip to Disney World, Go by some tranny based Bud Light. Take a stand for abortion at any time. Do any number of things that DeSantis has done, that Trump opposes.

Maybe you’ll feel better.
