Now you Trumpers are moving the goalposts. Yesterday it was "DESANTIS HASN'T SPOKEN OUT ABOUT THIS ISSUE!"

Now that Desantis has spoken out about this issue, your position has changed to "DESANTIS WON'T STOP EXTRADITION!"

Absolute lunatics, the lot of you.

I just asked the question... and the answer I’m getting is “he doesn’t have the power to do so.”

His reply is excellent. Focus on the real issue here—the pro-crime Soros-funded prosecutors who are abusing their offices to promote a left-wing political agenda while crime is out of control in their jurisdictions.

Trump and the porn star are the circus sideshow. DeSantis should stay out of that tawdry little drama.

The onlyTrumpers have jettisoned fealty to the Constitution for fealty to one man. That’s incredibly dangerous.

I would hope that Trump wouldn’t want such support, as anyone who embraced such nonsense would be unworthy of any office.

The Constitution is more important than Trump, DeSantis, or anyone else. Cults of personality never end well.

DeSantis’s statement is very good and well thought out. He’s doing fine. There is an effort to drive a wedge between the two camps and it’s working better than it should. DeSantis adds to this by his “l’m running / l’m not running ambiguity. It is the smart move because he needs to see what’s there when the fog clears but it is feeding the friction we see here. It is how the sausage is made.

“Yesterday it was “DESANTIS HASN’T SPOKEN OUT ABOUT THIS ISSUE!””

No. It’s always been “Why hasn’t DeSantis spoken out about this issue YET?” That question still remains. Why did it take him 3 days to condemn something every American should condemn? If he’s content with remaining Florida’s governor for the next 4 years, I suppose it’s no big deal. But if he plans to enter the 2024 presidential race, people rightfully expect more.

Personally, and as a Trump supporter, I wish everyone on both sides would pull their heads out of their asses, quite frankly. This is getting stupid. What DeSantis said today is perfectly in line with what he should be saying. The bits about pornstar hush money were genius. It is that side of Trump that everyone hates, and we all know he is weak when it comes to women.

DeSantis has done an amazing job in Florida, no doubt. But my issue with him is that he is, very clearly, a polished politician. He will do politician things. He will not be the unfettered leader everyone believes he will for one simple reason: if he even attempts anything close to a Trump-esque administration, he will be just as heavily constrained as Trump was, not only by the left, but by his own damn party. Anything done to minimize the swamp will be met with resistance on all sides.

I think it's important that he speak out on the potential pending arrest, and his statement today was exactly what I would have expected out of him, based on watching his previous responses to issues.

Now, if an indictment does indeed come down the pike, I would absolutely expect DeSantis to step in as Governor, no matter what. The left doesn't care what the Constitution or SCOTUS says, sobeit. It's time we act accordingly. Could DeSantis call out the National Guard to make sure Trump isn't arrested? I say yes. He can do whatever he wants, really, and just follow along with the leftist playbook by apologizing later, maybe. But I do expect him to get involved, very deeply involved, for one reason:

If the left is successful in getting rid of Trump, they WILL do precisely the same with DeSantis.

Indeed, more than a few screws loose.
