DeSantis is the one bright light in the current debacle that is American politics. He’s smart and articulate. He isn’t mealy-mouthed and he has shown initiative and the willingness to act proactively instead waiting for his opponents to attack him unchallenged.
His court challenges to the Biden crime family’s unconstitutional executive actions have been by and large successful and the legislation that he has spear-headed in the Florida legislature have been bold and practical. Granted not all of it will work and the feds have enormous power to make trouble for him but he’s shown that acting on a positive agenda can be the best way to combat the attacks of the Left.
In three years I wouldn’t be surprised if Trump anoints him his successor for the 2024 election. His youth and energy make him a natural to attract support from all corners of the non-insane portion of the citizenry. After four years of the Biden mess even some of the insane may see him as the more attractive path. After all even the insane have to eat.
I wish Ron DeSantis all the good fortune he can get. And I hope in a few years he’ll be running all fifty states and not just Florida.
I agree. He is the Gold Standard for 2024.
Too early, I think. Now the news media has 3 years to destroy him. They are already at it. My brother in Atlanta in his echo chamber of progressive friends existing almost exclusively on input from CNN and MSNBC has already pronounced DeSantis as too discredited by his covid policies to run.
Well, when you’re taking flak you must be over the target. The question to answer is whether you give as good as you get. That was my complaint with W. Too much turning the other cheek and not enough punching the other guy in the nose.
