I like Ron, but this was just so ill-timed, when fundamental problems for the country surround treatment of Trump and his supporters, and when Trump is the defacto candidate, already.
Ron found it hard to please his RINO big money donors, while supporting conservative expectations.
Heh. So much for unity.
He just did — Trump said he is honored to get DeSantis’s endorsement. So let’s just STFU with all the BS about DeSantis.
Ron is a decent guy, but this was just not the time to run.
I was already more than willing to vote for Ron in 2028. This crud from Nikki, Ron, and the others just squandered money, time, and energy that needed to be spent against Democrats.
Yeah, I felt that warm hand extension from you ... threatening to go Kennedy Jr... have fun on the dark side.
C’mon Niki, be a good girl and join Desantis.
He should have waited until 2028. He stated previously, prior to Trump’s decision to run, that he would not run for president in 2024 if Trump decided to run. He (DeSantis) broke his word.
I agree with it all.
Well said.
Nice comment.
Trump said the right thing as the nominee.
Meanwhile, it is also the right thing for Trump supporters to make sure DeSantis and his ilk don't continue their under-the-radar sabotage tour against Trump.
And you have zero power to shut anyone the F up.
Time to head to Apalachicola for some oysters.
Good. GTFO!
I would love to see a Trump/DeSantis ticket. However I think the Constitution forbids a President and Vice President to be from the same state. (?)
I wish Gov. DeSantis well, and hope he runs a better presidential campaign in the future.
Is this a record for a challenger?
You are a nit.
!Yeb! endorsed DeSantis Feb. 27, 2023: “The main reason I support Ron DeSantis is because of how well he has run my own state...”"
The response everywhere to !Yeb!'s endorsement of DeSantis was instantly overwhelmingly negative, but the best punch downs came from FreeRepublic:
ONE day later, the blowback was so brutal to Greasy, !Yeb! had to brutally, explicitly, publically, shamefully, walk BACK his DeSantis endorsement!
"Jeb Bush: ‘I was praising, not endorsing’ DeSantis"
thx Gov. Ron. heard your speech. it was gracious and forward looking.
not your year. the uniparty hates you. half of republican voters don’t want you, they’re backing Trump come hell or high water for their own reasons; i don’t agree, but i don’t fault them either for supporting Trump. glad you realized there’s no way forward for you early enough to save resources for later.
this independent Christian conservative will continue to support you whenever you take up the challenge again. God continue to bless you, your family and your administration in FL.
Same here. My main concern is that I think it's unlikely that Trump will win in the General Election and I think that we are being manipulated into this outcome by the DNC and the Deep State because Joe Biden matches up well against Donald Trump.
2 weeks from today, I will be sitting at Lynn's, ordering a dozen Rocky's, and a dozen poppers, and then key lime pie. I will toast the impending TrumpII Administration, with an Oyster City Tates Helles.
Let it go already.
Those beyond-lame arguments were tried ad nauseam during the last few months and convinced no one.
meatball Ron has ended any chance of running in 28.
No senate run either.
I’ll spend my money on his opponents.
don’t go away mad...just go away
