So if DeSantes gets the nod. He's the leader. Guessing red flag laws, 21 age laws for rifles/shotguns.

Thats more statistically significant than other “official” polls that get cited here. And the only thing that changed were the indictments. Almost like it’s part of a plan. |

Until Trump steps aside, this will keep on happening. Like you can be the smartest guy in the room with the best ideas, but you won't win against a toddler. You can sink to the toddler's level and attempt to engage them but it's a losing battle and it just makes you look petty. But until the toddler leaves the room, the adults don't have a chance to accomplish anything. Because that toddler needs to be the center-of-attention at all times and can't deal with everyone not giving them 100% undivided attention. And of course all the adults are pushovers and too scared to remove the toddler to make them sit at the kid's table because it just starts another round of tantrums.

The problem is Desantis doesn’t have a personality.
|
|
|
He was on the side of the parents that have kids in school rather than rather than giving the control to the drag queen fags forcing their agenda. Looks like to me he’s done more to protect kids than any candidate I can remember but that’s just not important anymore, it’s all about having those abortion rights and legalizing pot.

It's a shame because I thought he had potential, but all of it seems to have been utterly wasted. I agree. I don't know how he could mess things up this bad. He did a good job managing covid and managing the press and liberals with covid. He figured out what to do and operated as a solid confident Governor. The narrative and marketing by the Republican establishment has been terrible. In my state instead of recognizing that people are fleeing the crazies on the left and switching parties; the Republican establishment repeatedly boasts about how it is their great leadership attracting people and getting them to switch. Nope, they are just the less crazy lesser of two evils. But they won't hear it and think they are awesome. |

Ron seemed to decline quickly after the Tucker episode where he was given questions about his positions on Ukraine. RD replied in writing to the show days later (gist was that he wanted to end Ukraine support), caught a lot of heat from the donors, and then bitched out and walked back the answers he provided only a day previous. As far as I can tell, that was the beginning of the descent.

"They want you dead but will settle for your submission" - Malice

DeSantis basically did every single thing, and made every decision, wrong. Starting with running against Trump, the clear favorite and front-runner, right after being re-elected Governor. He showed no loyalty, and that's strike number one.
Whether he's fried himself or not for 2028, who knows, politics is a strange game. But he went from looking like a future presidential prospect, to looking like a fraud, a toad and a crass opportunist with an agenda that that changes with the polling and the MONEY. He showed himself as just another politician, with less appeal than average. He's more polarizing than Trump. Definitely would not be my choice for the future. He basically blew it, and it looks like it's a character flaw. The pathetic butt hurt fanbois, never-trumpers and true believers on here can go lick their wounds, and either sit on their hands or vote for Biden or Newsom. That'll show Orange Man who's boss! |

Hope it works out. If not. Oh well. I get to keep my actual Conservative Governor here in Florida View Quote Not sure what your on about with the cult stuff. For many Trump was the best president we have had in our lifetime, the best option we have had in our voting age life. A lot of people including myself were excited about DeSantis stepping up. Then on the national stage he comes across as mildly retarded. Like two different people: calm, strong , successful governor and also-ran presidential candidate. I'm still open to voting for him in the primary because of his track record as Florida governor but at some point he has to come across as having more than a room temp IQ on the national stage. The governor of Florida hasn't made an appearance on the national stage yet, and you have to admit that is a little embarrassing. I haven't been able to make it all the way through a Republican debate yet. Our platform is sad and embarrassing altogether at this point. We're probably fucked anyway simply because we can't put our differences aside and rally behind our party. At this point I really don't give a shit who ends up going against Biden but I will vote for that person. It will probably be Trump and I'm fine with that, I'll vote for him. The way things are looking around here the Democrats will be laughing about not having to fire up the fraud machine this time around. |

To me and I’m no Desantis expert cause I haven’t payed too much attention, he saw Trump and what he was doing and mimicked him. Was Ron like he is now before 2015 when trump was making the rounds?
I’m no trumper but I will vote for him in the primaries. If Ron was to get the nomination I would vote for him in the general. Don’t think that will happen though. I almost guarantee Ron will run as vp when the dust settles. As long as trumps second goes good he has a shot at 3 term in the White House. I really don’t know him, Trump, I know what we’ll get, good and bad, and for me the good outweighs the bad. |
