Going against Trump means going against the policies that make America great. DeSantis has mirrored every Trump policy here and that is the foundation for his support. Policies Floridians have demanded.
Florida has always gotten a bad rap but over the last 4 years we have had it better than any state in the nation.
We're not going back for anyone or anything.
DeSantis is not stupid, he knows this. I think there are bigger games here. If Trump wanted to pick a solid candidate and use him as a bait to expose all the RINOs, he could not have picked better than Ron. At the same time, it allows the RINOs to calm down a bit even if a Maga wave hits in midterms - because in their mind, they can defeat Trump in 2024.

I really hope you are right. Desantis's backing and Skull and Bones background makes me nervous. IF what have read about it is true. I haven't really sourced that information. His wife's ad about him being so awesome when she had cancer was also extremely cringy. IDK what that has to do with anything, but it was a bit too slick politician for my taste. Like when Biden keeps talking about his "personal tragedies" as a way to relate.
Been questioning his ties and stance on Israel for a long time.
One word from trump and DeSantis is exposed.
Trump wants him so I want him.
Swampsantis also served at GITMO. Swamp rat that is an inside man. Trump kept him around while he was useful
He is still very useful and florida is doing well under his leadership.
Accountability is what trump offers th3 people. DeSantis is accountable because the standard is clear. Prior to this trump was the only guy not in the middle of it.
I liked what he did through the pandemic and I think he is legitimately anti-woke. But I also think he is an opportunist and he clearly gave behind the scenes approval for the feds to illegally search Mar-a-lago. He will stab Trump in the back for his own ambition.
None of this made any sense to me - everyone knows Trump will run in 2024 and he will most likely win this time even though they'll try and do a steal again. DeSantis will be a shoe in for 2028, he's still young. Everyone can see Florida has been one of the best states in the union to have been in the last 4 years.
So maybe you're right.
If Trump wins in 2024 he should just name Mar-a-lago the Florida whitehouse and govern from there. Given what the feds have been up to the last few years it would make sense to govern from a state with a friendly government.
