With DeSantis ready to throw in the towel, no one has to watch any screeching or hollering from any political side, and I hope people will at least occasionally give themselves a break from all of it and go out and have some fun. Or, stay inside, listen to some music, warm up by a crackling fire, read a good novel, watch some sports, or hang out with loved ones, instead. Politics will always be there.
Other than voting and encouraging eligible others to vote in every election, there's not much an individual has to do. Doesn't require even deciding who to vote for until the final candidates are on the ballot.
Good. I hope that he does endorse Trump. If it weren’t for Trump, he would not be where he is now. I remember the GOP primary in 2018 and I voted for a guy named Putnam but DeSantis ending up winning and then Trump got him over the finish line in the general.
Agreed. Except I am an NPA so had no say in the primaries, but had no problems voting for him both terms. And thank GOD he won the first one. Andrew Gillium would have been a nightmare.
I tried to warn DeSantis fans that Trump has never lost to any GOP candidate. Another one bites the dust.
So you are saying that Ron DeSantis is smart and wise enough to avoid losing in the Primary election. This is just another reason to like and respect DeSantis. He doesn't do stupid things just to indulge his ego.
Though just a claim, that’s sad to hear. He’s a better candidate than Mr. Trump. Why, you might ask? He shares the good Trump policies without sharing the bad ones. Governor DeSantis shines where Mr. Trump falters, personality and policy wise. Mr. Trump wants to deal with Democrats on abortion. Governor DeSantis wants it left to the states. Mr. Trump has yet to show any humility and admit he made mistakes with the pandemic. Governor DeSantis has, by signing bills into law that never let the state of Florida lock down their citizens again. And we haven’t heard anything from Mr. Trump about reducing spending and debt, because his record is the exact opposite.
Unfortunately, too many good people either ignore, dismiss, or excuse these legitimate criticisms because they’re in love with Mr. Trump, the man. That’s the only way I can think of to explain it. It’s exactly like many Democrats were in love with Mr. Obama in 2008. And I understand it. I was once like that about Mr. Trump. But once the veil’s been lifted, it’s hard to go back. He’s flawed, like the rest of us. But his gigantic ego is his own worst enemy. I can hardly stand to listen to him, at this point.
And he hands them things to attack him with or charge him with on a silver platter. Then you hear “look at me. They’re attacking me”. Of course they are! They’re your political opponents. Stop giving them things to attack you with. When I first supported him in June of 2015, I thought he was smarter than this. Unless he’s doing this on purpose, to give some of his supporters what they want to see. But it turns off a lot of people, too. Myself included. Is he playing the victim card? While the media was nasty towards him, he wasn’t exactly innocent of everything.
He can try again in 2028 and 2032. He's got plenty of years left before he's considered too old.
