Never, and I do mean never, have I experienced a level of frustration regarding a politician than the level of frustration I have now experienced at the hands of my governor, Ron DeSantis. It came about when President Trump declared that he did in fact intend to run in 2024. And DeSantis was then my first choice to be his running mate completing what I then felt was our political dream team. The team that would win and put DeSantis in the position of being able to take the baton in 2028 and with luck would go on to win re-election in 2032. But it all came unraveled on the way to the 2024 election when DeSantis allowed his ego to get the better of him.
But whether it was ego or perhaps because of some
outside influence coming from those dead set against another Trump presidency,
DeSantis broke his promise to the voters in Florida, one made when asking them
to re-elect him as their governor, and he also broke his promise of not running
for president if President Trump did. So to my way of thinking, DeSantis gave
up a shot at a sure thing in exchange for a shot in the dark. I had such high
hopes for DeSantis, and yet he chose to betray those who trusted him to keep
his word. And how is that he can still expect people to vote for him after so
blatantly lying to so many of them and, essentially, continuing to do so.
If anything, DeSantis has demonstrated that he is
not presidential material. I had much respect for the guy until his run for
president started. He’s a RINO, and is nowhere near ready for prime time. And
he did so once again over the weekend, during an appearance this past Sunday on
CNN’s “State of the Union,” hosted by Jake ‘Mr. Fake New’ Tapper. You see it
was then that DeSantis, presidential wannabe, made the claim that President
Trump was too old to be president of the United States. The DeSantis/Christy
tag team on CNN will win neither of them many votes. Christy does it because no
one else is listening to him, DeSantis is doing it out of desperation.
Oddly enough, he doesn’t seem to be too old to be
cleaning DeSantis’ clock and ending any chance that he might have once had to rise
any higher than a two-term governor. Anyway, Tapper asked, “Your campaign keeps
a running list and keeps tweeting a running list of Donald Trump’s fumbles and
accidents and confused moments, that’s what they call them, saying this is why
his handlers won’t let him debate, noting times that trump has forgot what
state he is in, times he has confused Biden and Obama, confused Kristi Noem and
on and on. What do you think about Donald Trump’s mental fitness? Do you think
he’s too old to be president?"
DeSantis said, “I have said publicly the president
is not a job for an 80-year-old. Donald Trump will be order on July 2025 than
Biden was in January 2021. But this is not the same guy as the Trump in 2015
and ’16. That guy would show up on the debate stage, he would barnstorm. Yes,
he was off-color, he was edgy, but it was all part of an idea that he was
really going to shake things up. Now he’s wedded to the teleprompter, he’s not
willing to debate, and he’s running on many of the same things he promised to
do in 2016 and didn’t deliver.” He said, “Donald Trump is a high-risk
proposition as a nominee, because I think the chance of him getting elected is
small."
He continued, “But it’s a low reward, because he’s
going to be a lame duck on day one, even if he could get elected.” DeSantis
added, “Look, when you get to this point, the presidency is not a job for
somebody that’s pushing 80 years old, I think that that’s something that has
been shown with Joe Biden. Father time is undefeated. Donald Trump is not
exempt from any of that. I think with somebody like me, you go in, I’m in the
prime of my life, I’ll go in day one, serve two terms, deliver big results and
get the country moving again. That’s what Republican voters want to see.” It
would seem me that DeSantis is sounding a little desperate. Best to bow out
now.
And thus we have yet another example of how it is
that CNN is willing to provide a platform to anyone with an ‘R’ after their
name who’s willing to bash President Trump. DeSantis is another Bush candidate who,
just like Jeb, can’t win. DeSantis shouldn’t have listened to Rove and waited
until 2028. DeSantis struggled to win his first run as Florida Governor because
of his congressional voting record and he was running against an avowed
Communist under an FBI indictment. And it was only after President Trump’s
endorsement that DeSantis started to gain any amount of momentum. People here Floridia’s
didn’t appreciate him breaking campaign promises.
President Trump has shown more energy, strength, and
vitality on the campaign trail than those who are half his age, including
DeSantis. President Trump has held numerous rallies during which he speaks for 60-90
minutes, off the cuff and with no teleprompter. He remembers specific dates,
names, legislation, and foreign leader’s policies. President Trump understands the
world. I don’t see DeSantis doing anything to prove to people he’s the man for
the job. I don’t care how old he is, or isn’t. Too Old? President Trump is
fighting numerous political persecutions in court, he does at least one rally
every week where he fires up thousands of people, and on and on.
Talk about hammering the final nail into one’s own
coffin. DeSantis wasn't smart enough to realize that now wasn't his time. Now,
there will be no later for Ron. Disloyalty and poor judgement has consequences.
DeSantis, just like every other of those trying to take down President Trump
still seem not to understand that no Republican will win the presidency without
Trump supporters. DeSantis will likely be out after Iowa. It’ll be
embarrassing. He should have excused himself two months ago, thrown his support
behind Trump and gone back to being one of the best governor’s Florida has had.
DeSantis was NEVER a viable candidate vs Trump.
DeSantis took a shot and missed. He allowed himself
to used as part of the Republican establishment’s gameplan to take out President
Trump. His political career, I think, is now officially over. The age of the president
doesn’t really matter. Proof? Joey is so old he has no brainpower whatsoever.
Has that stopped him from giving the left almost everything their hearts
desire? Nope. With President Trump you know what you’re getting. America first.
No matter how old he gets he will push America first and we will get much of
what we want. Is DeSantis America first or is he a RINO who will betray us? I
honestly have no idea. No one really knows so just vote for Trump.
In one sense though, I think, DeSantis is right, Donald
Trump is not the same guy. He’s not the political novice he was in 2016. Now he’s
wiser and has been put through the wringer and continues to fight for America and
to lead us. He is the only one who can. I live here in Florida. I will tell you
who is not the same guy, and that’s DeSantis. He took globalist billionaire
dollars this last election and failed to keep his promise to us. He said he
would not run for president but is keepers changed his mind. DeSantis would do
himself a favor to come home, Florida needs his full attention and regain the
faith of all of us then maybe he can be president someday but not this time.
Finally, DeSantis will be
forever known as being a two-term governor. He has roughly three years left in
his second term. What’s he planning to do next? He’s sabotaging his future in
politics and it’s a little sad to watch. And then there’s President Trump, like
the doctor with a terrible bedside manner. He tells you that you need to lose
50 pounds and to stop smoking. You’re offended and you’re angry, you come up
with 10 reasons why you think he’s crazy. And then one night while you’re
sitting there watching TV with a beer in your hand, you suffer a heart attack. You
wake up in the ICU and finally realize that he was the only one who was telling
you the truth.
