Ron DeSantis is still the real deal. You folks are wrong. Look at how he turned Florida solid red after barely beating that queer drug addict. Look a how he took Disney to the woodshed knowing they pay a lot in taxes.
Then look at his 20% reelection victory. When you look at possible Trump VP selections there is no crown prince or princess amongst them who could be set up for ‘28. Since DeSantis will not be one of them 2 full governor terms will have to do it. Senators and flash-in-the-pan celebrities don’t work. The only thing that will hold him back is the fact that he is as exciting as Michael Dukakis. By then we may only need a technocrat as opposed to a messiah.
Save your breath.
We had a once in a generation opportunity to rally behind an actual conservative with a long list of victories under his belt but the majority of GOP primary voters instead belittled him as "meatball" and decided to throw their lot behind a bloviating geriatric circus clown.
We deserve every defeat that awaits us.
” You folks are wrong. Look at how he turned Florida solid red after barely beating that queer drug addict.”
Made possible ONLY due to Trump basically handing him the position of governor. Then it was, et tu, Ronnie?” as RD stabbed him in the back.
After Trump had to pick Ron up by the scruff of his neck and literally toss him across the finish line.
"Then look at his 20% reelection victory."
Yeah, let's go there lol:
1) Charlie "Limp Wristed" Crist, a graduate of one of the lower 30-tier law schools, and after taking three attempts to pass the bar, was defeated as GOP State Senate candidate in 1986, losing in a runoff.In other words, Ron beat Crist The Tomato Can, Florida's perennial toe-tapping, down-low, also-ran man.2) In 1992, Crist won as a GOP State Senate candidate in the Florida 20th.
3) In 1998, Crist lost as the GOP sacrifice to Florida Senator Bob Graham, losing by 26 points.
4) In 2008, Crist endorsed McCrisis and supported Florida moving their primary to January (lol).
5) In 2010, Crist left the GOP. He ran against Foam Boy for the Senate seat as an unaffliated candidate, losing to Rubio by nearly 20 points.
6) In 2012, Crist endorsed Obama.
7) In 2014, Rick Scott beat Crist for Governor of Florida, and as wiki notes: "Crist holds the rare distinction of losing a statewide general election in Florida as a Republican, a Democrat and an Independent"
8) Aug. 2022, Crist resigned from Congress.
The only reason he won his first term, and it was by the skin of his teeth, was because President Trump endorsed him before he'd even announced he was running for Governor.
The guy is an arrogant prig who lied to the people of Florida when he said he would finish out his full second term. What he didn't tell them was that he'd be taking at least an 8+ months paid vacation while he ran off to run for President. And on top of it, instead of resigning to run based on the law in place at the time, he had the State Legislature change the law, so he'd still get a taxpayer-funded paycheck while he was on that extended vacation.
DeSantis himself didn't think he'd have a chance of winning, or he wouldn't have taken the extra step to have the law changed to suit his needs. He'll be back in his office one of these days, but he's going to stretch it out for as long as he can, and why shouldn't he? He's forced Floridians to foot the bill for his family vacation.
