November is different than the primary. I still think Mr. Trump is better than President Biden, particularly on foreign policy and immigration. I will vote for him in November, reluctantly, but I will not in my state's primary. He hasn't said anything to earn my vote.

Such rulings should be applied equally across the board, but he targeted only Disney 'special district' and left 2000 other 'special districts' in Florida untouched, which makes it clear he used the authority of his office only for personal vendetta.

Sure......."it's for the children.....the innocent little children" is an ancient liberal war cry and an "appeal to emotion" to justify expansion of government. DeSantis overplayed the culture war card, and its costing him in the polls.


Anyway, the topic is DeSantis supposedly ending his campaign, which seems to be fake news.
The old RonnieD said and did things that were helpful to the people. Since he declared to run for potus the man took a full 360. The law in Fl is 6 weeks for abortion. After he was challenged with the 15 weeks, he took the knee to his base.
I don’t think he’s bailing, too arrogant for that until the red team puts pressure on him to do so.

2028 the kids be up in full swing - they don’t like him. They will go for a more younger and liberal minded person, be it red or blue.

I saw DeSantis himself denying it. Who knows what he will do, but he is denying this claim.

I heard the same thing, that he is denying it. The one most to gain from starting this rumor would be Haley, as an anti-Trump choice, so maybe her "camp" put it out there.

It is obviously been put out there to try to hurt both himself and Trump by pushing some DeSantis supporters to Haley. She is "bad to the bone"!

If this is true, I'm not at all surprised.

DeSantis is not a confident candidate. Seems to get easily rattled, and shows that on his face and his reactions.

He's not warm and likable, and he attacked Disney--Disney!--sealing his fate.

Office of the US President is something he'll never see.

I could see Vivek planting this rumor too. He's smarmy.

That's what everyone keeps parroting because its the narrative, but no one can explain why she is a "war hawk".

#1 thing people did not like him are his speaking skills which are awful he speaks like he only has a 5th or 6th grade education

His head bobbing and always smiling turned a lot of people off to

I am glad he is dropping out

I think since he tried to run for President when he runs for reelection in FL he will lose everyone saw how bad he really is
