A few of DeSantis' comments -

"We will eliminate ideological agendas from our military, we will focus on the core mission."

"Biden has weaponized the power of the administrative state to advance his left wing agenda. We will re-constitutionalize the Executive Branch and we'll bring the administrative state to heel."

You can't do any of that if you don't win. There is no substitute for victory. We must end the culture of losing that has infected the Republican Party in recent years ... We must look forward, not backwards."

"My pledge to you is this. If you nominate me, you can set your clock to January 20, 2025 at high noon, because on the West side of the U.S. Capitol I will be taking the Oath of Office as the 47th President of the United States. No excuses, I will get the job done."


Be still my beating heart. It's a long road, but this is the first time in a long time I have been excited and enthusiastic about a Repulican Presidential candidate.


Amen. I'm all in.


He didn't say how he was going to bring the administrative state to heel. Wouldn't it be nice to know how he plans to do that? I want to believe, but more than that I have to be convinced.

The irony is that Trump will probably end up sinking Ron as well, not with his attacks or antics but just by the fact that Ron thinks he needs to out crazy the guy to win the primary.

The voters that decide elections actually care more about the economic stuff trump talks than any of the anti woke culture war stuff Ron leaned into.


If Desantis can't handle Trump then he's not the right man for the job.


Biden handled Trump. Are you saying he's the right man for the job?


Biden handled Trump and he did NOTHING. He hid in a basement and still beat Trump


Well clearly the candidate doesn't matter, so why are we arguing trump vs Desantis. The only republican candidate who has taken measures to beat the democrats at their own game is Trump. He will be including vote harvesting in places where it is legal.

That's not true. DeSantis got rid of the voting games in his state, which is definitely taking steps to ensure their games won't work.

No more. Gonna be DeSantis v Newsome. And DeSantis will win.

Sanity restored. Trump going to jail where he belongs.
Honest question here. What is it that Newsome is doing that makes you think, yeah, he has to be on the ticket?

Even republicans can't agree on DeSantis. There's NO WAY he'll get anyone to support him except his own minority base. He keeps attacking the "woke" crowd....and those "woke" folks vote. If they feel threatened, you can bet the black vote will turn out in force to vote against him. DeSantis is the last person who can bring the country together. He has a minority for support and offers nothing to anyone else.

Federal vs local. Also we are talking about the upcoming election where rules don't matter. Has Ron pledged to harvest votes? Trump has.

Newsflash: your understanding is NOT the understanding that America has. This guy tries to bring in a new point and you guys just shout him down without addressing the issues? Good luck in the primary. Your gonna need a crapload of it.

Tbh, at first, I was like that is not answering the question at all. So, you just think Newsome is going to be the Dem nominee based on feels... oh, wait, that totally checks out with how they will vote.

DeSantis is putting $200 million into hiring 2600 Staff by Labor Day and is extremely organized. Trump made a promise with no plan for follow through.

I saw a similar thing happen to Franco's character in The Interview. Kim apologizes to his sister for being a ****, and tricks Trump during an interview into being vulnerable by singing Katy Perry's Firework, bringing Donald to tears. .

His "point" is ignorant versus the reality that, even prior to announcing, Desantis was garnering major donors that were once Trump donors. DeSantis is dick-kicking the left (that includes Trump) with barely even trying. He simply handles business, in a conservative way, something Trump couldn't spell...let alone do.

You think that is Desantis's money? So what you are saying is that Rino donors are putting money into Desantis coffers to put the people they want in place. That sounds terribly unattractive.

I've gotta ask. Do you think Desantis waited for what he felt was enough angst against Trump before he announced? Don't get me wrong. I thought Trump did a great job as President, but he's the hero this country needs, not the one it wants right now.

Great points 100% concur

over the long term of an 8 month campaign...

I have to have hope that being able to discuss complex issues in a calm, rational and well informed manner will win the day over bumper sticker quotes.

anyone here believe that Donald Trump could credibly discourse on Article II of the Constitution and how to leverage Federal power to defeat the entrenched bureaucracy?

I spent almost two hours sitting next to Elon in the SpaceX mission control room several years ago. I was working as a contractor to one of his customers so I didn't feel it was my place to introduce myself at that time.

I'm hoping to get his support for some legislation I'm planning to push in Austin next session.
