Why Ron DeSantis looks just like Bill Clinton in 1992
Nypost ^ | 11/12/2022 | Charles C.W. Cooke

In attempting to describe Florida Governor Ron DeSantis over the last four years, the press has reached for a whole host of inapt comparisons: He’s Donald Trump! He’s Scott Walker! He’s Satan! But none of these seem right.

Instead — and hear me out! — he may well be Bill Clinton.

No, not morally. Despite Donald Trump’s grotesque insinuation that there is something “unflattering” about DeSantis that only he knows about, there’s no indication that Florida’s governor is anything other than an upstanding husband and father.

Wow; that is one of the worst and unflattering comparisons someone could think to make.

Ron isn’t a draft dodger, and no bimbos have come forward....YET! That’ll happen if he decides to run for President.

Hadn’t BIll Clinton been elected governor in the 70s then he lost re-election then he got elected two more times? DeSantis was in Congress a few years and then he’s just one re-election for the first time.

So you’re saying he’s definitely a philanderer?

I guess you missed what happened on Tuesday. If Biden runs Biden wins.

LOL

Of course, that’s not what he meant. It’s even in the excerpt.

This DeSantis worship is almost as bad as the worship the Left had for Soetero. Good Lord. And it’ll only get worse.

2 more years of Biden and this....WOW!!! Time to go off-grid in Alaska or something and trap martin and hunt for caribou and moose.

I’m hoping he is the real Ron we need after our current Carter.

I dare not say it....somebody else fits that description. But thanks to Klintoon, gets a pass.

"So you’re saying he’s definitely a philanderer?"

No, I'm saying that if he runs for President, the Democrats will march out their usual group of bimbos claiming sexual abuse from 20 years ago. Did I really have to explain it? It's not like Democrats don't do that every f-ing time.

My biggest concern is we’re too high on Ron and he’ll end up petering out because of...something. Can his goodness and the enthusiasm last that long? The other issue is his wife. If she is in for bad cancer, Ron may not hang around politics much. We may be floundering in 2 years looking for a real champion.

As for worship? You must be talking about Trump.

I noticed that. It gets even more fawning and ingratiating as the screed goes on. Despite Cooke’s apparent intent, it’s the worst thing he could do to DeSantis.

Murdoch’s choice, like Shrub Bush. NeoCon status guaranteed.

Bill Clinton was an excellent politician regardless of his views. Obama was too. Trump had good policies but was absolutely terrible at it and it hurt him and the country.

I’m thinking more like the right’s version of Obama. Too perfect. Too good to be true.

Actually, they don’t. Except hoping it still sticks, just like they got for Klintoon’s real escapades.

Alot of what we tolerate now is because of Klintoon. The philandering, the stories of it, and impeachment. Dems want to get back for all of that.
