I believe Trump truly loves this country, but I also believe he's an egomaniac. So it's hard to predict what he's going to do.

I don't see Trump staying in, what he needs to do is run and take the attention off of DeSantis. At the last minute Trump pulls out and endorses DeSantis

But the simple truth is that with DeSantis you get all the same positives, and none of the negatives.

His odds of winning would be much much higher

I think some of his positives are way stronger. But that Trump paved the way for this type of candidate, so he was necessary at that particular time in history. Especially coming out of the other side of this sh*tshow pandemic and carney freakshow that is the Biden/Harris presidency --- There is an appetite for it. Other GOP'ers better take note.

DeSantis is in a class of his own. No other republican governor comes close to him.

I am a bit concerned about a head to head of DeSantis v. Trump

I am hopeful they have a strong relationship, and there is a plan to keep this from being an issue

luckily trump is the kind of person to defer the spotlight and attention to someone else

I'll pray for your TDS.

Some fresh desantis going off covid script with real data and real science

This. Please just let Trump endorse him heavily. The last thing we need is Trump trying to run again and tearing Desantis down and causing some unnecessary divide.

---

Or forcing DeSantis to have to get into the conspiracy theory/Q stuff that Trump loves. If he can stay away from that, I don't see how the election isn't his to lose (if he runs).

This

The Left has continued to live their hypocrisies without challenges. However, recently have seen a change in direction of the middle of the road people. I think they've had enough of the nonsense, lies, and you're a racist therefore you owe me stuff that's going on. Ron DeSantis we cry out for a leader, please be the one that can do that

Today's mail brought a letter from Ron DeSantis / RNC with a question survey and of course a tear off to make a donation to the RNC. Well, I am a big DeSantis fan and will support him all the way to the White House, but there are too many swampy critters in the Republican party that call themselves 'public servants". They are often not voting on behalf of the people they say they represent. Therefore, I sent the survey questions back and left the donation part blank. I will send directly to DeSantis, but not the Republican Party.
Anyone else receive this letter today?

Having recently moved from Florida to Missouri, DeSantis is great but there are many Republicans like him, they just lead less influential states. Parsons here in Missouri has been amazing during the pandemic. It took months for states like Florida and Texas to roll back restrictions that were never put in place in Missouri. That said, I'd be all for DeSantis for President

Other than him closing all public schools for the remainder of the academic year last spring, I do like how he handled the virus.

Unfortunately, our city council is voting next Monday on whether to bring back mask wearing with the increases from delta and college students invading this town starting this week

I am sorry you had a bad time

If you stick to the Southwest area below I-70, you will be good to go for the next time you visit.

Under no circumstances should you ever enter the northeast quadrant, for more than a hour, without carrying your handgun

For me it was just the dirty looks I got because I was without a mask. We don't wear them down our way in the Dixon / Osage region

And I never leave home without my revolver

Oh btw, somehow DeSantis is doing pretty good despite outrage over his mask orders. Better than a lot of 'blue' states, anyway.

Just wanted to be clear that this dramatic decline in Florida COVID numbers began right after schools opened. Do any of the Experts who predicted catastrophe want to circle back? https://t.co/bfgxrMG8jB

She said "circle back." Subtle shot to the idiot ginger press secretary?

We shall see how DeSantis stands up to the constant negative reporting, zero positive reporting, and out and out lies that the MSM will report about him.

Trump had some baggage, but based upon endless unprecedented investigations that found nothing, he probably was the cleanest politician in US history. Much of the Trump baggage was his NY personality, his never backing down from MSM and DNC lies and misrepresentations of the truth, and his being an outsider from the traditional establishment ruling class.

The Democrats found a winning formula for discrediting their competition with Trump. Anyone who doesn't think they will do it again is crazy. If the MSM goes way out of their way to destroy DeSantis, it will be a good sign.

Love DeSantis.

He needs to go to an Aggie Yell practice and gruff up that voice a little though. Nikki Hayley sounds more manly.

Their vitriol toward him has been white hot since he defeated their chosen Marxist bisexual black chosen future governor of Florida. That he has continued to stand up to their propaganda has only kept he flame as high as possible.

His perseverance to me is the greatest indicia he is the best candidate the GOP could nominate. He stays on message, fights back, is not a communist/grifter, and would be a tremendous POTUS, imho.

They already have started and he's remained staunchly zero ****s given.

But the propaganda has really been on a more local level. Once focus is turned toward the 2024 election it will step up by orders of magnitude.

The 60 minutes hit piece flopped because it was too much, too early.

Hopefully he will continue to stand firm and the socialists' negativity will not hurt him like it did with Trump.

DeSantis is the great hope to turn this bs around imo. Trump like policies, Trump like approach with the press, much better communicator and debater than Trump, executive experience. What's not to like?

DeSantis update (just bumping this one as it popped up when I searched for his name): he just won on appeal, in epic fashion, about the Florida legislature's right to…pass election laws without seeking pre clearance from an Obama judge.

Read the opinion is my advice (or just the last 5 pages); this is as close to a complete ***** slap as you will see in a federal appellate opinion. This obama judge really didn't even begin to apply the tests required, or give any good faith presumption, toward this matter. Just…pathetic.

The imperious obama judge mark walker wrote a 288 page screed, blasting everyone from the Supreme Court to the vagueness of the legislation, wanting to be in charge himself of any changes to election laws/administration for 10 years. 3-0 smack down on that insanity.

Trump showed DeSantis how to do all this. No Trump = No DeSantis. DeSantis won't run if Trump does. Rather have the teacher than the brilliant student.

You're right. He needs to. But he's not going to. And as a result, we need to support him. And then once Trump has road graded Washington for four years (and trust me, after what DC has put him through, he will road grade the **** outta that place…. being his final four years, he's got nothing to lose!), we can shift our support to Desantis for 2028 and beyond.

Tax breaks don't save taxpayers money.

They cost the government 'revenue' in the form of "paying for tax cuts"...
