Desantis is my guy, no doubt. I hope he runs in 2028. Looks like he can’t be bought, such a rare quality

That definitely scares me....I wish he was better off financially....I think he is actually a better politician than Trump and has shown to have a backbone and fight back.

I'm concerned the swamp may seduce him.

which is it, do we need a billionaire who does't need the bribes, or a pauper who can withstand the bribes?

I’d say that based upon the size of his brass balls and the price of bulk brass at $5.25 per pound…..dude has a multimillion dollar net worth

He went to Harvard and Yale, then spent most of his career in the Navy or politics. If he is not a crook, he shouldn’t be rich on paper.

While you make a fair point, it is weird he has so much cash sitting in checking/savings account and doesn't own any stocks...

He needs a crack head son to peddle off as bait to influential leaders of state and big corporations.

the left is terrified of this guy ... will be incredible to see how they try and make turn him into evil Hitler, Jr.

It’s not much of a mystery. I’m sure you observed what all they did to Trump. But this will be a good bit worse because the process of trial and error and honing of skills has already happened.

Hell the left has even been successful in wearing down a surprising number of former Trump voters/supporters who were weak and couldn’t take the constant vitriol towards them, and gave in to pressure to turn against him and just so happened they had an exciting new guy to rally behind……and get their minds off awkwardly walking away from Trump for all kinds of weak excuses.

So I don’t see any reason they wouldn’t employ the same tactics against Desantis, including a similar strikingly successful gaslighting scheme to eventually chase those same folks away from Desantis and on to the next newest and hottest person going, and so on and so on.

Ben Shapiro revealed on the Daily Wire Backstage show fairly recently that he was told by multiple people close to DeSantis in FL that he is running for President in 2024, regardless of who else is running, unless he loses his Governor's race.

Yes. Apparently his wife has been pushing him to run for quite some time as well.

He will never win the election. The left will not allow a threat like that hold office as president.
