Has he ever told us he is even considering running?
When asked he has refused to rule it out.
So he’s no different than I am, today.
I haven’t refused to rule it out, either.
I also haven’t refused to rule out flying to the Moon, buying a Ferrari, or vacationing in Japan.

>>I live in Florida. Think DeSantis has been a good Governor. Better than most past Florida governors. But, not my first choice for President at this time.
Same here . . .
Mr. Kalamata
I would like Ron DeSanis to run and do well but lose the primary vote. I want to keep him in Florida so long as his term lasts. He also needs the experience of mounting a presidential campaign Regan ran and lost once before he ran and won. And. If Trump meets with a fatal “accident” during the primary campaign then I would prefer Ron to anyone else who is in with the possible exception of Ramaswami, who has announced and running but has not even managed to get mentioned in MSM.
DeSantis is not a RINO operative. The Rinos support him because he is the only possible viable person who is not Donald Trump. That said, I do not want to see him as the Republican Candidate in 24. I would rather he run in 28.
You've made political in stops Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina?
You've been to DC, meeting with representatives looking for endorsements?
You have Fox News, PAC's, numerous surrogates and an army of supporters, day after day pushing you to run?
You've been asked and have refused to answer in a gubernatorial debate?
Yes sireee. There's not a dimes worth of difference between you and DeSantis.
agreed
Trump knows DeSantis is bought and paid for, no way Trump would support him now and going forward. Trump helped him get elected and DeSantis threw Trump to the curb quickly after.
DeSantis is for no one but himself (and made his family), if others are helped along the way that is just an unimportant bonus, not DeSantis’s real intention, worse is if it’s so obvious to us, God knows that too.
😮 Ron can’t recover from that I don’t think. I live in Florida but I don’t remember these ads probably because they did not pertain to me.
And living in Florida, I know a great many FL vets that love DeSantis, myself included. Maybe the reason it isn’t talked about politically is that most of the “great many” vets who don’t like him are the same amount as those who vote Dem. There may be many, but statistically, are insignificant when it comes to voting for a candidate for office. Primaries, maybe. And I guarantee a significant slice of that “great many” will hold their nose and vote for him in ‘28 if faced with a Marxist alternative.
Think about it. How better to maintain support for Trump during the latest witch-hunt by the deep state. RDS deflects attention from the pending persecution, while gaining more national exposure, getting Squishies on record for supporting him, and screwing then in the end in 28. All these negative RDS vs Trump polls (the only positive polls show RDS beating Biden) allow DeSantis to bow out of the primaries (which he still has never declared) without getting pummeled by Trump. Mark my words, if this is true, Ron will never enter the running in 24 and will endorse Trump, and Trump will seemingly be back in love with Ron.
“Maybe the reason it isn’t talked about politically is that most of the “great many” vets who don’t like him are the same amount as those who vote Dem.”
This statement is an ignorant and immature statement. Your entire post totally ignores the issue that angered a great many Combat Veterans about a JAG Lawyer turned politician that attempted to associate himself with the Elite Warriors, Navy SEALS, and the anger this pathetic attempt caused among Combat Vets.
Ouch
