President Donald Trump holds a commanding lead over Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in their shared state of residence.
Trump claimed the support of 57% of Republican voters in the Sunshine State to the governor's 22% in a recent poll from Tony Fabrizio, who surveys for a pro-Trump super PAC. Fabrizio conducted this survey for a private client, according to The Messenger.
Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley placed third with 7%, while former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie earned 2%. Tech mogul Vivek Ramaswamy, South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott, and former Vice President Mike Pence each claimed 1%.

“You’re correct, the longer he dilly dallies the less people here like him. I’m just afraid he will push the state into a democratic governor. The dims have a lot of ammunition at this point to rub our noses in.”
The actions of the FL republicans have been textbook swamp creature... Have a law that doesn’t allow the governor to run... well its a good law, but we’ll change it for Ron... Oh have a sunshine law requiring public knowledge of the Governor’s travels... well we’ll change that too for him... etc etc etc..
There will be a price to pay for this transparent swamp behavior.... Just how much of a price remains to be seen.
Second Amendment, government spending, pro-life, pro-family, need I go on? I can go on and on...
Trump is an old-school New York liberal. Always has been.
Second Amendment - Trump’s record on the 2nd Amendment has been mostly good. The one bad move he made with the bump stock ban has been reversed on appeal. But his transformation of the Supreme Court alone has already yielded results and will likely continue for a generation.

But you’re a perfectionist, I get it, which is why you support a candidate who voted to give Obama fast track authority to negotiate the TPP. Now maybe globalist trade deals are conservative and maybe they aren’t. But if they are, you can have your conservatism. Either way DeSantis has since reversed his position on the issue.
Pro Life/Pro Family - Trump’s presidency is directly responsible for the greatest pro-life victory in 50 years. Period. End of story. As far as pro-family, I don’t even know what you’re referring to and neither do you.
Except that wasn’t a rally.
It was a presser with a speech as 60 Florida County Sheriffs endorse DeSantis.
Try again.
It was one of the few open, public events that desantis advertises on his campaign web site...
And it was one of the few appearances that desanctimonious has had in his own state...
A state that doesn't seem to care much about desanctimonious, anymore, since he as abandoned the governorship to persue trying to become president.
I agree with your points in defense of President Trump, and your comment about perfectionism.
Ideological purity in a government designed to function on compromise is an illusion in multi cultural America.
Live our conservative principles, but don’t expect that we can vote our way into an ideologically conservative government.
HA! We could have had Jordan back when Gaetz first blocked McCarthy and nominated Jordan back in January, but Trump rammed McCarthy through anyway, because they’re both liberal big spenders.
Even the very day before the motion to vacate, Trump was sending out whiney tweets on his website wondering why we all couldn’t just get along. Now he wants to back Jordan? Stick a sock in it.
Another ridiculous exaggeration. Trump played a part, but so did McConnell on those selections. McConnell blocked Garland for starters.
More importantly, now, Trump wants to reverse what we just accomplished and force abortions back on all 50 states again, prohibiting states from banning abortions if they want to. He’s a top down autocrat, not a small government, local government conservative.
Because Meatball has not dropped out. Politics ain’t Beanbag.
As long as he is in the race he is fair game.
Yep. He chose poorly.
Ronnie has been crushed beyond redemption just like Lying Ted.
Neither will EVER be President. Lying Ted has a slight edge as can
continue as a Senator. Where does Ronnie go after he finishes his term
in 2026.

This is complete TDS....
The nevertrump faction here glosses over the fact that Trump had a list of conservative judges compiled and peer reviewed...
Selected judges from the list...
And these judges overturned roe v wade
Trump was the person supported and got this done, and the tds’ers want to give credit to mcconnell for all this, now....
And Trump was said he would talk to the democrats about abortion, but did not say anything about making any national or federal law about it.
Obvious BS, because Trump has been quite clear he wants a new national law requiring abortions be legal in all 50 states, no matter if states want to ban it completely or not.
He's famously called Florida's six week law, which makes abortions almost impossible, quote "terrible!"
? When asked how many weeks he wants to see in his new national law, he refuses to say! Therefore, it's horrible, probably late in the pregnancy. Everything he does now is far to the left.
It ain’t workin KoSer...it ain’t workin.
Very true, and well said.
Your points are too reasonable for Golden Eagle to agree with them. Whatever position Trump takes on Federal abortion legislation will be the wrong one, as far as Trump haters like G.E. are concerned, for their dislike is personal and not based on policy.
Why should he drop out before a single vote has been cast?
Or is DeSantis supposed to believe the same BS polling that even Trump himself doesn’t believe?

You are the one asking why Trump likes to burn money ih he is so far ahead.
Newsflash.........your boy is the one burning GOPe money and THAT is why the GOPe has backed away from him.
Woops.....

Get the hell out of here you piece of crap KoS influencer. You are a joke. Everyone here understands just who you are and what you are doing.
You get paid by the post??????
I am only presenting the truth. You are just so fully deceived you are unwilling to listen. But others are.
The Governor was receiving the endorsement of 60 elected Sheriffs.
It wasn’t a rally and lasted for only an hour.
It was an open to the public announcement.
Laura Loomer was there outside with her Bull Horn and she had 2 people with her.
So a counter protest of 3.
Spin all you want.
99 days until Iowa Caucuses.
DeSantis has over 13,000 commitments signed to Caucus for him.
We will see soon.
Any bets on who will claim the Caucuses were Rigged? 😆
