The median age of U.S. presidents: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_presidents_of_the_United_States_by_age ... Most in their 50=60s. Ronald Reagan was 77 at he end of his second term. Biden is 80, which explains a lot. Trump isn’t very far behind. Can’t believe Dems or Jill will allow Biden to run again, unless Trump does.

your destroying desantis for doing things right is a slow motion train wreck...

people that live in train wrecked states should worry about cleaning up their train wrecked states instead of telling us floridians we’re doing things wrong...

I obviously am not going to support him instead of Trump. Just pointing out that he is going to play well and his strategy is much better, in my opinion than that of Desanctimonius who is, for a intent and purposes, the establishment candidate. If it’s him V Biden I have no skin in the game.

Iā€™m a Florida resident. I donated and worked to get RDS elected governor not for him to run for president. When I watched the video my heart sank that night that he could not even pledge to his supporters that he would stick aroundā€¦like Kari Lake did. She pledged to her supporters that she would remain governor for not only 4 years but for 8 years if the people put her in office. Why does that make me an idiot?

“DeSantis ā€” what a snake”

Just what statements, policies and actions that DeSantis has made that justify your low level name calling?

Ok so DeSantis is successful and gets the nod. Are we one big happy family now with Trumpā€™s blessing?

Anyone who thinks that can rot in Hades. Ā  It is President Trump or shelter in place in Galt's Gulch.

I donā€™t like this guy, that heā€™s a certified politician, and either a RINO or a Never-Trumper”

Please enlighten us with specific facts which back up your allegations.

‘Desanctimonius who is, for a intent and purposes, the establishment candidate.”

Any dolt can throw out an allegation without any basis. Can you not be specific on why your statement is true and without name calling?

To be doing things right, he needs to be competing, as in, in the here and now. It’s not Trump’s job to preserve Meatball’s chances.

The big question is - If Desantis wins the nomination fair and square, what does Trump do next? Will he fall in line and direct his followers to do the same, or will his narcissism prevent him from taking such a humble path?

ā€œIf he runs for president, Gov. DeSantis is going to win the nomination because of this grassroots support youā€™re seeing right now in all of these states that he is crisscrossing to,ā€ the official said. ā€œWeā€™re the movement, the voice to get him to run. Thatā€™s what youā€™re seeing in these states. Thatā€™s whatā€™s getting missed in trying to see the trees through the forest.ā€

*****************

The power of positive thinking is a sight to behold.

It won’t do DeSantos any good, he’s about ready to drown his political career in an Orange Mud Pit.

There is no use speculating about a total improbability. Deo Sanctus il Ron will be polling in single digits by next week.

Just look at Deosanctus’s friends. Fox News is a 24x7 campaign rally for him.

A snake tricks FL into believing that he would serve for at least 4 years. A snake runs at the age of 44 when he could have it all at 48 for free. A snake goes agaisnt Trump. You know Trump, the guy who made Desantis.

If it slithers like snake, and hisses like a snake then it is a snake.

He’s supported by all of Trump’s enemies and that’s what he’s using to try and destroy Trump. If Trump loses to DeSantis thr deep state has won and their plan worked.

desantis just won reelection for florida governor last november (2022)...

desantis won by 19 percentage points...

desantis was just sworn in for his second term as florida governor 3 months ago (january 2023)...

those aren’t the signs of drowning his political career in an orange mud pit...
