But he should have supported Trump for 2024 and not run. Instead, he was disloyal, after Trump had endorsed him for governor. DeSantis seems to be doing right by Florida. Maybe that's where he belongs. Being a good governor does not necessarily translate into a good president. After all, DeSantis is no Reagan.
I voted for him to be governor. I didn’t vote for him to have him 5 months after his second inauguration to go off and run for President and not fulfill his elected obligation that he proclaimed he wanted.
He betrayed his voters in Florida by doing so. He has been a good governor but once you betray your voters you’re done.
BTW Trump is leading DeSantis in polling in Florida so there are a lot of us who think this way.
As a Floridian who was a big DeSantis supporter prior to his presidential campaign, I have reconsidered all his "achievements" as governor and concluded that, in a time of common sense and respect for the Constitution he did the minimum of what we would expect a conservative to do.
It was a low bar.
Trump left it up to the governors to close down. 7 did not. All Republican. DeSantis was not among them.
DeSantis said nothing when a prominent Tampa area pastor was arrested for holding services - observing the 6 foot rule and providing hand sanitizers.
DeSantis has not only done nothing for the J6 political prisoners - many his constituents - but he gave Nancy Pelosi permission to set up a division of her capitol police in the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office (near his hometown) to pursue more. Several counties have passed resolutions asking the governor to remove this agency but it appears to be permanent.
DeSantis did nothing when constituent Trump's home was raided but make pre-planned sarcastic comments at a press conference that fell flat.
DeSantis was a JAG in the Navy. Yale graduate, Harvard Law. He doesn't need anyone to explain the Constitution. He does need someone to remind him why it was created.
DeSantis changed the Florida constitution in order to run for president - after promising Florida voters he was focused only on Florida.
DeSantis did send illegal aliens to Martha's Vineyard but he didn't take the thousands he knew Biden was sending by plane in the middle of the night to Jacksonville. Instead, he went to Texas and flew 50 from there. Why? (BTW, Jacksonville just got its first Democrat mayor in decades in a state that now has more registered republicans than democrats)
DeSantis was promised that Trump would be taken out and DeSantis would be the only possible winner.
Some are still whispering that in his ear. He's too out of touch with the voters to see reality.
We've seen massive increases in our insurance here in Florida in the past 2 years. Many home insurers have left the state. Some neighbors have seen a tripling of home insurance premiums and people don't discuss that the last-resort insurer (backed by the state) is really insolvent.
Electricity prices have increased by 1/3 in the past year with utilities move away from natural gas to solar.
DeSantis has destroyed the support he had in Florida and whatever good he's done is now perceived as the minimum that a responsible governor would do.
Governor DeSantis has been a good Governor. We visit Florida often and can see a thriving state. I have always maintained that DeSantis should finish his second term. Floridians elected him to serve them not run for President. After his second term join Trump’s administration in some high profile position and use it to launch a 2028 campaign. I’d be willing to bet Trump suggested the same thing to him. I’d also be willing to bet that the establishment Republicans said to Ron, “You do that and your 2028 hopes are toast. Here is a boat load of money, run now, and beat Trump in 2024.” It didn’t work for JEB! And it isn’t working for DeSantis. I have worked in and around politics long enough to know how this stuff works. The party bosses run the show. Everyone, I mean everyone, was shocked by Trump winning in 2016. JEB! Had millions in his war chest and was completely blown out by Trump. This really pissed off the party bosses. They reluctantly went along with Trump when it became obvious no one was going to beat him. Then they helped to undermined his administration in an effort destroy his popularity. Problem was “We the People” loved him. It became obvious he was going to win 2020 in a landslide. So they looked the other way while democrats fixed the election (Obama was so good at it why not) and went back to politics as usual. What they didn’t plan for was it pulling back the curtain showing “We the People” just what was going on. Oh there are still the many in the “Great Unwashed” who haven’t seen or refuse to see the light but many have. Will it get Mr. Trump elected in 2024 I sincerely hope so. However the opposition has a ton of nasty tricks at their disposal and plan to use all of them to prevent it because if Trump is re-elected many heads will roll. And that my friends is what “We the People” want to see.
I was a big fan of Gov. Ron up until it was obvious he was, at some point, going to announce he was running for President in 2024. Why? 2 simple acts of disloyalty - 1) running against the man who “made him king” in Florida, and especially 2) lying to Floridians that funded and voted for him in his reelection campaign for Gov. He told them more than once that he was running for, and would serve out, his 4 year term. Since then he’s transferred a large amount of campaign cash to his national campaign while hitting the road to travel the country. Things have only become more glaring since. The pre-campaign campaign was clumsy. Everyone with a brain could see he was doing a poor job of hiding his intentions. Book tour? C’mon. His whirlwind world tour was an obvious tell, and the visit to London’s financial center was poorly received. The campaign “launch” on Twitter was just embarrassing. The Florida Republican CONgressional delegation stood solidly behind...President Donald J. Trump. They accused Gov. Ron of not taking their calls and generally being aloof. I am not sure the Florida State legislature was a whole lot more supportive. Reports from the campaign trail reinforced the notion that he seemed to have difficulty connecting with humans. His debate performances were unimpressive, but had the memorable “hand raise” moment. His policy flip flops seemed consultant/donor driven. And speaking of donors, he’s taken money from all the wrong billionaires. Sadly, the more exposure he’s had, the lower his poll numbers decline. I didn’t pay attention in 2016, because I was excited (more briefly than I expected) that Sen. Ted was running. Then PDJT started making sense and knocking heads. I mention this because one of the folks I wanted to like was Gov. Scott Walker, who had done such a great job in Wisconsin. He was done and out early, wasn’t he? DeSantis looks like he used up his political capital very suddenly and thoroughly, at home and nationally. I doubt that after this disaster he’s going to find many open checkbooks for 2028. He could have walked in as the leading candidate. Now I wonder what the rest of his term as Governor is going to look like. It didn’t have to happen this way....
DeSantis was/is an effective governor largely because of the rock-rib majority of red, white and blue people that populate Florida, backed up by a Legislature largely composed of the same. But he is a politician.
When I was young someone very wise said to me, “a President - or any leader for that matter - can only be as effective as the people he surrounds himself with.”
Trump, in his first foray, not only into the political sphere but also into the den of iniquity we know as DC, was truly caught unawares this regard. His default nature is to like everyone and try to get along. Heck, he charmed Kim Jong Un!
But that was his Achilles heel.
While he hated the political world and it’s totally ineffective way of doing things, he totally underestimated the depths of wickedness and chicanery at work every minute, in every nook and cranny, of that Dante’s Inferno known as our Capital.
By his third year he was just catching on - but then came Covid.
Suddenly, in those utterly uncharted waters, he found himself surrounded by a cabal of some of DC’s truly heavy-hitter veterans of unparalleled machinations and wizardry, (a/k/a liars), compounded by a never-ending drumbeat of a media-driven all out “fear campaign” unleashed upon the entire country.
People fault him for going along with too much of what was being sold, but in actuality he was virtually sidelined and even any attempt he made to counter or temper their supposedly sage guidance was mocked and ridiculed. The paranoia and terror injected into the people of the entire nation didn’t help.
And while I admit to have been disappointed in much of how he handled things then, I don’t know how any human, much less any politician like a DeSantis, would have fared any better -and probably much, much worse - under those same circumstances.
We have witnessed the depth, breadth and almost incomprehensible lengths the Left will go to in order to get and maintain power. It is beyond mind boggling in the sheer audacity of its utter ruthless lawlessness and corruption.
So here’s the thing about Trump: A. he’s not a politician. He’s just regular man.
B. He’s a businessman. He’ll be willing to negotiate in good faith but if you try to f-around with him, he’ll crush you.
C. His eyes are WIDE OPEN now to just what a total cesspool our government is and who exactly are the snakes that slither throughout it.
So here’s the rub: we are admonished by God to never put our trust in any man. And for the love of God we should NEVER put our trust in any politician!
That being said, I would rather have a man who has suffered the slings and arrows of his enemies, stared that enemy in the face, called it out, and is more determined than ever to crush it, to sit in the Oval Office of the President of the US than any politician mouthing “all the right things” but wholly oblivious to the true nature of the battle for our lives and the future of our country that is set before us.
There only one guy who fits the bill: Donald J.Trump.
P.S. that is IF we ever actually have an election the way things are going. We shall see.
Well said, Don. We dont dislike RdS, we just are disappointed he is effectively working for the globalist donors after demonstrating America and Florida 1st.
TRUMP 2024 Our nation is being destroyed by a masked Marxist Democratic Party with a toxic agenda based on lies, misconceptions, and a glaring neglect for the American people and ignoring the very values established by our founding fathers. FJB and Barry Soetoro
As far as DeSantis goes, he's akin to Ronna McDaniel's (Pierre DeLecto's niece) who DO NOT and HAVE NOT serve our populace base and what we're facing. I contribute direct to candidates thru winred as I did before. The RNC are far from President Trump's base support. Again, I say, FJB and Barry Soetoro

No one wants to stay on theJV team for his/her whole career. You have to keep testing yourself to see how far you can go. I give DeSantis points for trying out for the varsity team. It's real life experience, and I am sure he will learn a lot. Soon he will learn he is not ready to be team captain, and, if he is smart, he will join in supporting Captain Donald J.Trump!
I saw De Santis speak at an event here in 2022. He gave a great speech. I was impressed. He’s done a lot of good things as Governor and he continues to step up to the challenges staring every politician in this country in the face and respond decisively. He’s not perfect. But he’s head and shoulders above any other Republican governor in the country. Not even close.
So his humiliating collapse as a candidate was unexpected on my part. I think it was a grave strategic error to not stand with Trump. I think he may have lost any chance at the presidency. Impatience, ego, and bad advice are not a good combination.
I think before he leaves Florida he should do everything possible to ensure continuity of leadership in the same vein he has established.
I think he and Trump should mend fences if possible. De Santis could be an asset on the policy side, no doubt. He’s proven that he knows how to go toe to toe against the Left and beat them. He should do it for the country, not for Trump.
A positive note is that it appears we snuck in a good Speaker of the House despite the back room knife fighting led by RiNO loser McCarthy.
This is positive. I guess three weeks without a Speaker wasn’t the end of the world and Gaetz and co. aren’t delusional anarchists after all. Here’s hoping Mr. Johnson walks it like he talks it.
I would have been all in for DeSantis in a 2028 run for president but he jumped the gun. He thought too much of himself and not enough about the country. He has done some good things for Florida but he should have thought beyond that and supported what is best for the country in 2024. It’s not him now and may not be him in 2028.
Thank you for this column. I would be perfectly happy for either man to be President, but, as you say, the race for the nomination is virtually over. I'm a big fan of Trump, but trashing DeSantis helps no one. He's a good man and a very good governor.
I am not one of the DeSantis haters. Never was. He’s a good man and willing to take on the powerful interests who want it all their way. Early on I hoped for a Trump/DeSantis ticket because it made sense longterm. It still does. I cringed when Trump attacked DeSantis with the childish jabs and forced him to respond in kind. This didn’t need to happen but egos are everything in politics. Wish there was a way for them to join forces for the good of the country but doubt it can happen now. Knowing this could have been a very good ticket for America, if Trump chooses a squishy female for his running mate I may leave the party. Halley is running for the VP slot or a choice job in the Trump Administration right now. She deserves neither. She is a war supporter and someone who is a classic RINO. So DeSantis is the right guy at the wrong time this cycle. I hope he keeps his campaign classy and on subject until 2028.
I'll wait until 2028 to look at DeSantis again. He made some suspicious alignments with NeoCon money and globalists in his fight against Trump. Hubris without enough experience? Perhaps. I'll wait, but he should drop out now.
Perhaps - but in what capacity in a cabinet in Trump's second term?
Personally, I'm hoping for only the absolute essentals being filled, and a lot of vacant posts. I'm not sure where he'd fit.
Though, I could see Pushaw as the press secretary.
"Give DeSantis his due. He is fighting for himself and if a man won’t fight for himself, how do you expect him to fight for you?"
Indeed. LardMaster is right - Ron! is in the wrong place at the wrong time.
I'm all in on Trump, too.
No, Ron! should not drop out of the race - he's kind of a shiny trinket that occasionally distracts the propaganda apparatus from publishing ever more elaborate lies about Trump, and he splits the NeverTrumpers.
**Yesterday, were the comments disabled for everyone, or was it a glitch unique to me?
DeSantis seems to be a good man, in the wrong place at the wrong time.
It is time for him to step aside.
Some think he is not MAGA, but a member of the RINOs. His governorship make him appear to be MAGA. More governors should be like him, including mine.
I agree with you, Don. If he joins PDJT’s cabinet, we will know where he stands if he runs for president in 2028.
I gave DeSantis his due when he brought Americans home. https://www.facebook.com/kitty.myers.77/posts/pfbid02NaaAGqCAnny64PsMnrQnv3xfnKTzfsJfgEuodQy16NPdWDd7tEAUyoQPcmC7FhAzl

As a Florida resident who
1. Votes for him twice for governor
2. Donated to his campaigns twice
3. Worked on his campaign the first time
4. Attended his second inauguration
I wouldn’t vote for him for President.
I voted for him to be governor. I didn’t vote for him to have him 5 months after his second inauguration to go off and run for President and not fulfill his elected obligation that he proclaimed he wanted.
