Friday, during an appearance on Fox News Channel’s “America Reports,” Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) insisted his 2024 presidential election campaign was built for “the long haul.”
He insisted he was competing in Iowa, and there were undecided voters who could still be swayed to vote for him despite his lackluster polling thus far.
The Florida Republican said nobody was “entitled to be nominated.”
“[W]e know the issues that people care about,” he said. “Economy, border, crime, education, all these things. Weaponization of government. The question is, who is best equipped to bring all this in for a landing? And I think you’re right. What I’m finding in Iowa. We have a great organization in the early states. We’re built for the long haul. That’s how you win there.”
“But a lot of voters haven’t made a firm decision,” DeSantis continued. “They may be leaning one way or another. So, I think this is very fluid, and I think someone’s got to go out there and grab it, and that’s what I’m going to do. Nobody is entitled to be nominated. You got to show up in these early states, and you’ve got to earn it, and that’s what I’m going to do.”

Yawn
So says the single digit midget. DeSantis does have a hope in hell at be elected to office ever again.
Except that Trump did earn it, but DeSantis has not (and will not) be able to do the same.
Why does RDS keep saying this when he is obviously not earning the nomination. It’s gaslighting.
Really Ron, you mean you are more entitled to be nominated than a former President who was cheated out of his last election?
Quit your complaining and accept where you are in the polls.
The Dead DeSantis Sketch.
He’s not dead, he’s restin’.
So sez ron disgruntled® whom expects said entitlement.
Okay Meatball. Tell us something we don’t know.
Trump has earned it, three times now
And Trump hasn’t ‘earned it’? He has fallen on his sword so many times he is a pincushion, and yes, had the guts to stay the course.
Yep.
Please clap.
Go away Florida Man.
Our PDJT, The GOAT, has earned the spot by leading every other also-rans by 50%
I think Trump has earned it ten times over. What a stupid thing to say?!
Donald Trump has been under attack 24 hours a day since 2016. Be a good governor while you still have any respect.
Show up? Show up in the early states? Is that his idea of “earning it”? How about putting your entire life on the line for the people? How about risking your very freedom on the line, does that count?
I dislike this man more and more every day.
I agree with Ron DeSantis on this one.
Is he doing new Smith Barney commercials and taking over for the late John Houseman? “You have to earn it.”
