Oops, your cutting into backpacker_c quota, he’ll get jealous you are posting news about Governor DeSantis. And, worse, without insulting him. /s
Imagine what this man could have done had he not wasted months of time and millions of dollars on a primary fight he had exactly zero chance of winning.

Should Donald Trump win this fall, I hope he gives Ron DeSantis a cabinet position.
I actually think Ron should be vp as people are looking for serious change.
If 45 does have to spend time in prison, God forbid, he could choose Ron and actually say Ron will be acting on my orders but will be in the forefront.
DeSantis was a much better presidential candidate. He could have actually won.
This sounds like taxation without representation.
yes, and no.
It’s like he is two different persons. As governor, he certainly looks and acts presidential. Does the right things for his state. As a candidate, he never resonated with the electorate, and instead of recognizing that Trump already had the people’s trust locked in, he schmoozed with anti-trumper elites in the attempt to discredit Trump. It had an element of Jeb like entitlement. He may yet be the guy for 2028, but his campaign leaves a lingering uncertainty of which man he really is.
The Constitution won’t allow this, as they are both citizens of the same state.
He is a boring, ugly speaker. Great as governor. Bad as Presidential candidate.
Damn. I forgot about that.
DeSantis lost when he helped pass a law that prevented you from criticizing a certain group of people. When dems get I power eventually they are going to turn that law on its head with new creative interpretations.
“The Constitution won’t allow this, as they are both citizens of the same state.”
I am afraid you are right.
But it is like the anti-gun people. They pass a law it takes 5 years for it to be overturned by the courts and then they rephrase and pass the law again
Unpinged ping..
>> DeSantis was a much better presidential candidate.
Apart from his qualities as a governor — DeSantis was actually a LOUSY, tone deaf candidate with little to no sense of timing. And for those who love to accuse President Trump of selecting poor lieutenants and advisors... DeSantis assembled, and took advice from, some real howlers.
>> As governor, he certainly looks and acts presidential. Does the right things for his state. As a candidate, he never resonated with the electorate...
Rick Perry (TX) was the same way. Although I believe Ron DeSantis is head and shoulders above Perry in governing capability.
Then why hasn’t Florida secured its elections or protected its budget and taxpayers from Deep State...?
“DeSantis was a much better presidential candidate. He could have actually won.”
Instead he listened to his wife and the Deep State, flipping on Ukraine, and attacking Trump. Pretty much wrecked him as top-tier material.
But yes, he had a chance as a default candidate (certainly far better than the others), but ONLY if Democrats had taken out Trump for him, because there was NO WAY any other Republican stood a chance, as long as Trump was in the race.
