DeSantis’s record in Florida speaks for itself.
There are plenty of fake conservatives like Liz Cheney or Bill Kristol who won’t support Trump or DeSantis for ideological reasons, but there are also a lot of people in the GOP that we mutually despise like Paul Ryan who don’t like Trump for largely superficial/personality reasons and see DeSantis as a guy who would give us all of the upside of Trump without the fact that he turns off more voters with his personality and style than he turns on. It’s stupid that that doesn’t matter, but it does.
I’m supporting to DeSantis because he’s the most proven conservative leader that has the best chance to win. I’m ready to end this nightmare, and I’d like a president who could defend the seat 4 years later.
There’s also a not so insignificant chance that Trump will be arrested or at least dogged by court hearings by the time the election is here. It’s not fair. The way to prevent this would be for red state AG’s to start arresting former Democrat presidents on scurrilous charges, but good luck with that.
There are a lot of J6 protesters getting railroaded that Trump could have saved with a pardon before he left office, but he didn’t to protect his political future. So, I’m not particularly sympathetic to his legal troubles, though I hate the idea of that the communists might get their long-awaited scalp.
See my #15.
Don’t make stupid statements
Not every Jan 6 victim had been charged by the time left office
Pardons have a method to them
Quit trying to pretend that you can read Trump’s mind
