Ungrateful Ron DeSantis wouldn't be the Governor of Florida without Trump's endorsement...

On Thursday, Ron DeSantis refused to commit to supporting 45th President Donald Trump if he is the GOP Presidential nominee. Key DeSantis Advisor Paul Ryan previously stated he would not attend the GOP Convention if Trump is the nominee. DeSantis continues to follow the Paul Ryan Playbook.

A reporter asked DeSantis if he would support Trump as the GOP nominee.

DeSantis responded, “So what I would say is this, um when you are saying Cuomo did better on COVID than Florida did, you are revealing yourself to just be full of it.”

DeSantis made these comments despite the fact that during the height of the Covid lockdowns, the Florida Governor ordered armed checkpoints on the Florida-Alabama state line.

Florida reopened around the same time other red state governors began to reopen their states. By May 2020, there was liberal outrage that Missouri allowed massive Memorial Day parties during the “pandemic.” Trump never criticized Missouri Governor Parson for having his state open in May 2020 or any other Governor who opened their state around that time.

"I can't enforce something that's just not a law."

Laura Loomer brought up a strong point that earlier in the year, the GOP said they would require candidates to sign a loyalty pledge committing their support to the 2024 GOP nominee. Loomer tweeted, “Hey @GOPChairwoman under your loyalty oath pledge that you’re requiring for the 2023-2024 GOP debates, doesn’t this disqualify
@RonDeSantis? He just refused, on video, to support Donald Trump if Trump is the GOP nominee for 2024. How will you hold @RonDeSantis accountable?”

Hey @GOPChairwoman

Under your loyalty oath pledge that you’re requiring for the 2023-2024 GOP debates, doesn’t this disqualify @RonDeSantis?

He just refused, on video, to support Donald Trump if Trump is the GOP nominee for 2024.

Earlier this year, National File reported that Paul Ryan said he will not attend the 2024 GOP Convention in his home state of Wisconsin if Trump is the nominee. It seems Ron DeSantis is following Paul Ryan’s lead on all things Trump.

The country is what i want preserved for my family ..for the young generation. Trump has no other reason to fight the deep state than to save this country.
He took no salary.
He had his own plane
He saw a need and volunteered.
Then they ambushed him.

[Lopeover]

No worries! I refuse to support DeSantis if by some freak event he ends up the GOP candidate!

[deport]

No..never! Ya cant live life giving up!

Well the older one gets the less one can contribute to many
things. Being President requires a lot of hours, hearing info
weighing options, seeking advice and on & on. Then he has
to try and satisfy both supporters, middle people and try not
to disenfranchise people. Everyone is basically looking for a
hand out. Just my opinion and yours may vary.

Another cool Trump portrait, from dozens of lifetimes ago:

[dragnet2]

He’s a rat!

[beancounter13]

Ha! Biden is laughing at you!

But never mind me. I only stopped by to watch the Trump Trolls gnash their teeth and wonder why someone might refuse to support their man after all the mud they have thrown around the room.

The trolls never disappoint, and I find it all very amusing.

DeSantis's job for the RINO party is to take the dive in 2024 like McCain and Romney did previously, and like Yeb Bush was lined up to do in 2016.

The RINOs were 100% behind Hillary Clinton being president, and Yeb Bush was the dive-taker until the MAGA Man, Trump, declared his candidacy and ruined their scheme.

The RINOs, seeking revenge on Trump and we Deplorables, collaborated with the Democrat half of the Uniparty to steal the election of 2020.

DeSantis is their dive taker for 2024.

[deport]

I refuse to support DeSantis if by some freak
event he ends up the GOP candidate!

Not to worry. The dems, their supporters are
looking for the installation of the first female
President. We’ve had a black person, whitey
and now the effort is for a sex change. jmo,
watch history being made.

Unless he totally strokes out or dies, the fix is in for Biden to be the ‘Rat candidate. Come to think of it, with Fetterman as evidence, EVEN IF he utterly loses all mental and speech and sphincter function, he’ll just be labeled “differently abled” and they’ll mount him on a mannikin stick and wheel him around on a hand truck.

Pray that the ‘Rat primary is nastier and more damaging than the Pubbie primary. :-)

My prediction is that there will arise a third party candidate that will siphon most of his/her/its votes from the ‘Rats. Someone like Kennedy. Or even Manchin.

We live in interesting times, FRiend!

[Reno89519]

So. That doesn’t give him a free pass or excuse his behavior.

[Nervous Tick]

>> DeSantis got some spectacularly bad advice from his advisors.

Do you think that perhaps that marketing chick that A-B fired for putting Dylan Tranny on the Bud Lite can might’ve gotten picked up out of the unemployment line by Team DeSantis? I haven’t heard anything about that but it would explain certain things. ;-)

Just another hit piece by Pubbie. Yawn.

[Pirate Ragnar]

“Unless every Trump supporter. Independent and/or MAGA Voter suddenly goes insane, Meatball Ron has no chance of winning the White House.”

Meatball Ron meet Dumb Diana. Can she take what see gives?

[Pirate Ragnar]

“This article is a complete piece of idiotic garbage.”

Couldn’t have said it better. Unverified, distorted, agenda driven pap as Pubbie usually posts.

[Pirate Ragnar]

“DeGlobalist, Paul Ryan, Karl Rove, Bush RINOs and many more Globalist
are joined at the hip.”

Please inform us what actions DeSantis as governor has taken which confirm your opinion enough to mud sling?

[Pirate Ragnar]

“DeSantis is revealing himself to be more stupider than clever”

More stupider? And you are judging his intelligence? LOL

[Trump_Triumphant]

I consider Paul Ryan an enemy.

[Trump_Triumphant]

Yeah, after Ted’s campaign ran ads in Utah insinuating that Melania was a prostitute. Everyone remembers Trump’s reactions to attacks, but never the attacks themselves.

[mac_truck]

Lol...
