Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is playing the running-not-running game as hard as he can, given the Florida ‘resign to run‘ law he is intentionally breaking. Thus, the severity of the self-centered egoism from the man who calls himself the “savior Top Gov of America,” starts to take on context.
According to the DeSantis media operation known as “Florida’s Voice“, the sanctimonious meatball has already scheduled campaign appearances in New Hampshire, Michigan, Ohio and Maryland for April [SEE HERE]. Then, following the instructions of the brand management team in control of him, Ron DeSantis sat down with Rupert Murdoch’s toady, Piers Morgan, for an exclusive interview in both Rupert Murdoch’s publication, The New York Post, and Rupert Murdoch’s broadcast company, Fox News.
Murdoch, who owns Fox News, had previously given Ron DeSantis several million dollars for his personal wealth via a Harper Collins book deal, another Rupert Murdoch company. With full control over the brand image of the DeSantis effort, Fox News has been promoting the meatball for several months.
Timed to coincide with the Trump indictment, DeSantis sits down with Piers Morgan:
(New York Post) – Ron DeSantis knows everyone is waiting for him to say if he’s running for president. But in our interview, airing on Fox Nation’s “Piers Morgan Uncensored” on Thursday, he made it very clear that if he does, he can win.
“If I were to run,” he said confidently, “I’m running against Biden. Like we [him and Trump] are competing for the Republican, potentially, I get that, but ultimately you know the guy I’m gonna focus on is Biden because I think he’s failed the country. I think the country wants a change. I think they want a fresh start and a new direction and so we’ll be very vocal about that.”
“Do you think you could beat Biden?” “I think so,” he replied, unhesitatingly, and emphatically.
“I won with independents by 18 points,” he said, “and so that will be the same formula that we would take, and honestly forget about me, I think anybody should take the formula like that nationally. You can’t win with just Republicans. You’ve gotta win with independents and you need to convince some of these Democrats, which I was able to do in Florida, because they’re not woke, they don’t like some of the nonsense going on. They want their streets safe, and they want quality education. So I think you could appeal to people across the canvas.”
[…] “I haven’t made a final decision on it. I’ve told people that I’ve got a lot to do over the next few months in Florida. We’re gonna put a lot of points on the board. And then we’ll see how the dust settles after that, but I can tell you a lot of people realize the country is not going in the right direction and believe that what we’ve been able to do in Florida, if we can apply that nationally, we can get America back on track and back on our foundations.
[…] “And so, I take that very seriously, it’s humbling that people have come to me and asked me to do it or urged me to do it. So, stay tuned.”
“That sounds like almost a yes . . .”
“It’s a stay tuned!”
Why wouldn’t he go for it?
“Well because I’ve got a young family. I’ve got different obligations and it’s not the easiest thing in the world to go through and I also want to make sure that I have a very clear rationale for doing what I’m doing. All I’m interested in doing is getting things done and accomplishing things. I don’t need a title. I don’t need fanfare. I just want to know that if I put my mind to this, if we ever did that, and we’re successful, what could I do to make a difference and that’s what I have to have.” (read more)
I was always hesitant to say the Florida Governor himself knew about the Mar-a-Lago raid in advance. However, as time provides more hindsight and datapoints to review, this entire DeSantis operation reeks of coordination with the deepest elements of the DC Deep State.
Ping!
He has some big britches.
Sad he will lose the primary.
Um-hmmmm.....
How brave of DeSantis! He is really pushing the envelope of his non-campaign campaign! DeSantis is too clever by half.
It seems coordinated the Dems go after Trump and DeSantis comes out of his lair to run for POTUS.
What a total backstabbing ingrate. If Trump hadn’t endorsed & campaigned for him in 2018, Florida would be California East right now.
Doesn’t Ron not instinctively understand that Trump was screwed twice and this is his moment to finish his job and get revenge? Ron doesn’t have any idea what he’s up against, remember he was a no-name Congressman.
DeSanctis has to resign before he can run.
For DeSantis to seek the presidency by stepping over the body of persecuted Trump, will not be acceptable.
What's the alternative?
Glad that I was smart and discerning enough to see through DeSanctimonious’ phony facade. What a miserable phony POS!!!
I sincerely hope he has destroyed his political career by now and never gets anywhere near the White House!

Amen, and Amen! My sentiments exactly!
It would be interesting to know how this goes over with Floridians. Has DeSantis prepared someone to take his spot in Florida in order to keep that state solidly in the “red” column? His first election was so close and they were just a hair’s width from being saddled with the meth/sex addict.
Floridians have invested so much in DeSantis and given him their full support, including many Democrats. I’m not sure how they will feel about him just walking away now to pursue higher ambitions. 2028 is not that far away and DeSantis is young. I think he should stay in Florida and finish what he started while prepping someone to step in his shoes at that point. If he walks away now, Florida democrats will smell blood and go all in on moving the state back into “blue” column.
Has Desantis said he is in the race for 2024 POTUS?
Breaking News!!
Author just threw his credibility in the toilet.
The illegitimate Biden regime is trying to completely destroy President Trump and this tool DeSantis is running against him instead of rallying behind him to restore our Republic.
The guy reminds me of Obama. Barely got his foot in the door and already running for president.
