If DeSantis wants to be a real America First politician, and win the support of the highly energized America First voters, then here is his perfect opportunity to do it. He needs to tell Paul Ryan to shove his endorsement straight up his ass, and denounce him as the type of RINO trash that the republican party needs to purge from its ranks.
This is a fork in the road for Ron. An endorsement from Paul Ryan, and the RINO establishment is a curse. Will he graciously accept the curse, or stand up, and call it what it is?
yep.
Well the question is, Did DeSantis actually SEEK Ryan's endorsement? If the endorsement came out of left field and DeSantis did not ask for it, that's one thing; sort of like when KKK leader David Duke endorsed Tulsi Gabbard. She didn't solicit Duke's endorsement, it was just a political albatross that she had to disavow. Here is the Wiki entry on David Duke's endorsement:
"In February 2019, the media reported Duke had endorsed presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard for the Democratic ticket and changed his Twitter banner to a picture of Gabbard. He tweeted "Tulsi Gabbard for President. Finally a candidate who will actually put America First rather than Israel First!" Gabbard refused Duke's support: "I have strongly denounced David Duke's hateful views and his so-called 'support' multiple times in the past, and reject his support." Following Gabbard's defeat, Duke endorsed president Donald Trump for reelection."
So just because a RINO endorses someone, doesn't mean the endorsee sought or solicited that endorsement. I suspect that DeSantis will quietly walk away from this albatross.
Unfortunately, that's a likely outcome. But, that is why I called it a "fork in the road" for Ron. He could capitalize on the endorsement by forcefully rejecting it, and denouncing the entire RINO agenda that Paul Ryan represents.
I really hope he chooses the strong path. But, nearly everything about the republican party has been one disappointment, let down, and failure, after another, so I don't have high hopes for Ron demonstrating true bravery by staring down a RINO. Let's see what happens.
Well in truth, it might not be a good idea to subject people to any kind of "purity test." That's what the Left does, but I recognize that no human is perfect, and to expect perfection is to seek the impossible.
As Dan Bongino frequently says, "Republicans aren't the answer to all of our problems, but Democrats are the CAUSE of all of our problems."
I get what Bongino is saying here but I don't like it. It omits the fact that the republican party establishment is also the cause of ALL of our problems, due to their inability, and/or unwillingness to fight against the radical left democrats.
{see mile long list of easily prosecutable criminal offenses committed by democrats that perpetually go unpunished, for proof}
To me, it says: "Conservative voters should be happy to strive for, and accept policies (RINO politicians) that are not what the nation really needs to survive, and thrive, because the democrats are even worse. Accept second best, and be happy, because that's all America is worth."
I don't like that attitude. Nope. Not one bit. That is loser mentality; defeatist mentality. That is the mentality of the republican party establishment- losers, and weaklings, and I'm sick and tired of these kinds of establishment asswipes having any say whatsoever as to how to run this country, and repair our damaged society.
The spineless RINO party establishment of weaklings have absolutely no place in American politics whatsoever. And, if we the people do not rid ourselves of them, we will continue to lose, until we learn our lesson- the "lesser of two evils" is still, evil. We need a better direction.
DeSantis has been given the perfect opportunity to forge that direction, here and now by rejecting the RINO endorsement. He should seize that opportunity.
I don't disagree with you, I was just adding to the conversation.
Same here fren. My reply was towards Bongino's statement.
Roger that.
Even if he denounced it, it could be a setup for him to do just that. Just another chance for him to "look MAGA". I don't trust RD.
David Duke endorsed Donald Trump.
He endorsed a lot of people who didn't want it.
Maybe that’s the whole plan, they are attacking trump and now they are switching to trump light
Lol at Paul Ryan and coveted in the same sentnece.
***> Folks, I’m not trying to bust on Ron DeSantis, I’m just highlighting the dynamic in the background to include the political players and deep connected GOP club operatives. If the truth makes me a critic, then so be it; but I’m not going to play the pretending game. Quite frankly, I’m tired of it.
Ron DeSantis is backed by the same assembly of political insiders, donors, corporations and financial backers that supported Jeb Bush. The professionally republican class know what they have in DeSantis, and he is brand organized, packaged & managed to deliver on their intents.
Former Speaker of the House Paul Ryan is as dialed in to the GOP club system as it gets. Ryan’s brass nameplate is rivetted to one of the select mahogany chairs at the club table> .***
DeSantis does enough to be a celebrity Governor but if he was really our guy he would be demanding accountability for the stolen election.
Well President Trump sent out that list of RINOS weeks ago that someone posted here and it had Desantis listed. Some questioned that and I believe Trump was telling us exactly that.
Seems to be a strong Negative to me.
It could also be a move to take support away from Trump. Moves and countermoves.
Bingo!
Paul Ryan can fuck right off - go do some P90X in the fox studios.
Eddie Munster looking Rino bitch
coveted paul ryan endorsement? fuck paul ryan
I remember reading an article before Trump's 1st election that said Ryan and Pence had an agreement that should Pence become the POTUS he'd bring on Ryan for VP.
Its also been brought up that Ryan works for Fox in charge of polling data and workers claimed he manipulates the polling contacts over/under to match the narrative.
Well if he excepts the endorsement will soon know what kind of person DeSantis really is?
Paul Ryan is cancer and anything he touches turns to woke!
Yeah who want that doucheknuckles endorsement for anything?
Paul Ryan knows MAGA hates him and loves DeSantis. This looks to me like a purposeful attempt to break DeSantis support and make people question him. The establishment knows the only way to break MAGA support is to sow doubt. As a Floridian, DeSantis has done nothing to make my support waiver and it’s going to take DeSantis personally doing something against Floridas best interest to make me question him. He is the best governor in the nation!
I will accept every good thing DeSantis does but I wont ever trust him. The likelihood he is a Trojan Horse is simply too great. If he were truly on the side of MAGA he would speak forcefully to that like Kari Lake does. But he remains silent on too many key issues.
No I will keep DeSantis at arms length.
Guilty until proven innocent. Nice!
Who would care if they got RINO, FOX New’s Paul Ryan’sendorsement. Ryan is of zero consequence.
