Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) on Thursday said he does not believe it will “ultimately matter” when asked if he would personally support former President Donald Trump if he emerges as the Republican nominee in 2024, using the opportunity to criticize the GOP frontrunner.
A reporter asked DeSantis about Trump’s attacks against him, inquiring, “Regardless of his attacks, will you 100 percent pledge to support Trump as a GOP nominee?”
DeSantis, however, initially refused to overtly state if he would personally support Trump. Rather, he first criticized Trump’s line of attack, particularly on DeSantis’s handling of the coronavirus, only later adding that the process — people’s final decision — should be respected.

In other words, no you haven't.
Yammer all you want, but the truth is you don't know a thing about the man. And the more you yap away, the weaker you sound.
And you are yapping a lot.
He had to do end runs around the Dems and people in his own party to get things accomplished. Many here have whined that he did things through Executive Orders, but at times, that was the only option to get anything accomplished. You use what tools are available to you. You can't wait for Congress to comply with your wishes, or your plans. Congress, in one way or the other, spent four years working against him, and getting rid of him. And in the end, they had to resort to extreme voter fraud to do it. Now they're hoping the DOJ will keep him off the 2024 ballot. They'll kill him if they must.
This is me too.
And no matter who gets elected, even if we get past their steal, I don't think he'll do much good.
America and its institutions, public and private, are becoming disfunctional. Our people are mostly godless, non-producing morons. We have fundatmental, sytemic prolems, but the evil clowns have all the levers.
Trump's term got us nothing lasting or substantial, I'm not expecting much from a second term.
That's odd. Every person I know who voted for and supported Trump would never vote for Desantis. He's a rat. A poser. Most people have had a belly full of these career professional class lawyer politicans...Same old thing over and over and over...
As for the Deep State and how they'd kill Trump if they could get away with it, I've been saying that since 2015. On that much, at least, we agree.
We are on the same side, although I draw the line at blind worship of a man -- any man. That is where we differ.
I live in New York State. I haven't even met Trump, so why would I have ever met DeSantis? It was a stupid question, because you can't truly know someone by shaking their hand, or sharing a few words with them in a public place. If you think you can, you are delusional. How long did you spend in Ronnie's presence that gave you such a great insight into his character, his honesty, his sincerity, his kind and gentle manner, his personal beliefs, his trustworthiness, his compassion, his determination, his conservativeness, his truthfulness? How did you come to the conclusion that he was a great man to the point that no one else can obviously know, because they didn't get to look him in the eye and shake his hand?
Speaking of DeSantis, look what Florida just did...

I’m all for safety. I already slow down and move over for any vehicle on the shoulder if it’s safe to do so.
But note 2 things, the timing and the cash grab fines for failure to do so. Maine just did the same thing a couple if weeks ago, even heftier fine. And similar legislation just eneded up on Hochul’s desk in NYS...
True story!
Amazing as it sounds, you don't have to hate one to like the other.
Grow up. Take a breather. For your own sake.
So what help did he have. You're the one making that assertion, back it up.
" ...but seeing it's you, that's no surprise."
And what category have you put me in, and what label have you place on me?
Your problem is that you are focusing on Trump, and not the country, and what it needs. My first loyalty is my country, not one man. I certainly have no loyalty to the GOP since they have had no loyalty to me for many years. My country comes first, and I choose to support the person who I believe will do the best for this country if he's allowed to do it. Go ahead, change horses in mid-stream, but live with the decision down the road. Neither Trump or DeSantis are perfect, but Trump never abandoned me like DeSantis has abandoned the people of Florida, and I won't abandon Trump when our country is in such dire straits.
I'm almost 76 years old. l've ready out-lived everyone else in my family. I think I've grown up enough to know what I need, and what the country needs. Been voting since I was 21, because that was the legal age to vote back then. I don't hate DeSantis, but I do dislike the fact that he used the people of Florida to get a second term so he could immediately announce his run for the Presidency. If you find that acceptable, that's your choice. I find it extremely self-serving, and dishonest.
Well, there is not a ton of money for DeSwampus to gain by attending your event.
He would rather meet behind closed doors with Rich, Anti-Trump Globalist donors.
Age does not equal maturity. At 76, you should know that.
Maturity means you can be who you want, and say what you want without feeling guilty about it. At 76, you don't give a $hit what others think of you, because you're way past others telling you how you should and shouldn't behave. Maybe you'll figure that out one day.
Because he has ben promised that Trump will not be the GOP nominee, by people with the ability to make that happen.
I might have been born at night, but it wasn't last night. I was 16 too you know. You weren't even dry behind the ears yet at that age, so I highly doubt it.
I find it amusing how the creepy Trump cultists condemn DeSantis when Trump himself was praised by them for not accepting the election results in advance in 2016.
These creepy Trump cultists are total hypocrites.
Evidence?
Trump wouldn’t answer the question either. Lol
