He better.
Here’s an idea. Don’t take vaccines if you don’t choose to. Be a man, stand up on your own and don’t allow government to dictate to you. And whatever you do, don’t go near a Meatball. It’s bought and paid for by globalists, elitists and Soros. They all despise you, even if you aren’t bright enough to realize it.
What does Musk paying what he paid for Twitter have anything to do it’s this? Additionally, Why do you care what Musk does with HIS money? I never understood this fascination on what another successful man does with his own money. I sense envy.
That’s actually a cheap analysis. I like both Trump and Desantis. However, your view of Trump has clouded your judgement. I could post an exact image of Trump surrounded by those swamp creatures HE HIRED within his cabinet and they’d be the same make up. Desantis has an impeccable record as does Trump. The problem is this celebrity thing happening to such an extent that if Reagan were rolled out today there’d be FReepers here trashing him just because he had the “audacity” to run against Trump. It’s sad that our own party eats themselves when two excellent candidates are brought to the forefront. It’s like having a pro NFL team with two Pro Bowl starters yet we will find some way to destroy them both.
Sure, I’ll bet you $50, loser pays Free Republic with donation, that Desantos never gets above Trump in the polls during the next 30 days. I think we use the Real Clear Politics Average....
The guy and/or his handlers have no common sense.
He planned to run against Trump probably two years ago....
There are too many people on both sides of the political spectrum, who want to see him crash and burn.
He reminds me of Cruz....in 2016.
He might get a little up tick in the polls, esp the outliers, but he’s really a crappy politician.
He looks frumpy, his voice is effeminate, he has nothing really new to offer, you don’t learn a thing from him. I learn something from Trump everyday.... esp the mans persistence and resilience.
People fear Trump. No one fears Ron Desantos. No-one...
Lastly, and most importantly. Look at collection of asshats that are backing him on the outside....Romney, George Conway, NY Times, Karl a-hole Rove, Bushes, Paul Ryan, McConnell etc etc.
And looks at the ones on Free Republic. Access their posts. These people on the whole are angry. IF you don’t believe me, try to debate them.
They’re most Karen and Kens...Take that back, I don’t think there are many females on here backing Desantos, but I might be wrong...
yep
Excellent & quite accurate post.
Ed Rollins?
Speaks words....
It’s how business was/is done or you get wrecked.Gov=mafia
So, question. Why are you bashing a known conservative? One that has governed his whole political career as one? If alignment to obtain funding or run an office is your measuring stick then why are you being an utter hypocrite? Trump’s cabinet had more RINOS than the deepest plains of Africa. Just curious, why are you not being as critical of who Trump decided to align himself with during his lifetime? BOTH ARE exceptional leaders yet you decide to attack a singular one. “Conservatives” are some of the most thoughtful and intellectual people; yet they can also be the absolute dumbest. We eat our own and then wonder why we can’t win to save our face.
Their polls lag by a 15-30 days. Let’s go with 60 using their poll numbers. Deal.

“Managing a country is harder than managing a state.”
Certainly true, but what other job “experience” is there that even comes close? Nothing.
While there are many valid arguments to be had as to weather he’s up to the job, that’s not one of them.
Judging strictly on “experience” he’s as close to being “qualified” as is humanly possible.
Treason?
That was the state flag of Georgia for 45 years.
Hyperbole much?
Dealing with enemies is easier for one who has managed a state than for one who has managed hotels
Haley is the goddess of the statue removal movement.
Consider Trump's first four years, a lot of talk, some half assed roll-outs that too often got stopped by the courts before the ink dried, and lots unfinished with even more excuses. I sure don't want another four years of that.
Consider further that what Trump did ignored Congress, was executive orders, and as quickly as he was gone, they were gone.
The border opened, energy independence killed, and so forth.
What we need is a legislator, someone that leads building lasting laws to close the border, deport illegals, secure our energy independence, reign in cultural destruction, etc.
That is why I'm going with DeSantis. It is making lasting changes, codified in law. He knows how to do this, he is doing it. Some is even Trump's agenda. He's not an entertainer, he's actually even a veteran.
Give it some thought.
