I believe DeSantis leading governors and states against the federal monstrosity is where he will be at his most effective. I get the rinos want to stop Trump. DeSantis should say thanks but no thanks to lying Paul Ryan et al. As for a later future run for president, I would support him.

For me, DeSantis is too wobbly on his Ukraine remarks. Personally, I need someone to stand up to the NeoCons, the termite plague hollowing out Western World. All it would take is 'not in our national interest' and move right onto building up this country into a decent place to live and work and raise children. And in C & C today? Drilling for oil and pipelines sounded pretty good to me!

Yes. The correct answers by any pres candidate is 'no more overseas interventions, and drill baby drill'.

I believe you make good points. DeSantis seems to be a good governor and might best serve the nation in the near term by continuing to turn Florida into a good example for the nation. IMO he recently disqualified himself for president in 2024 by caving to neocon pressure and spouting the old "Russia is just a gas station posing as a country" trope. He said that in February 2021 and then didn't seem to talk about Ukraine until recently. (I assumed, apparently incorrectly, that this was because he realized that he didn't know enough about the subject to knowledgeably opine on it publicly.} Given his recent statements, I have concluded he currently lacks necessary understanding and backbone. I hope he grows more "character muscle" fast.

This really set me aback too! And how stupid is it to use a trite clown trope as in 'stupid is what stupid does'. And as to Russia, the alleged 'gas station' appears to be dancing circles around the Great Woke Empire whose only expertise lies in blowing up pipelines ... and not in building them!

And your second point regarding being out 'out of his depth' on policy considerations also hit me like a ton of bricks. I figure that the Cretins will run circles around the clueless ... and we certainly don't need more of that.

Yes. He is on the board of Fox News. Swamp creature and traitor. He did everything he could when in office to advance the uniparty agenda including working against Trump. He is the biggest reason for my concern about desantis. He endorsed Desantis which in itself is not a problem. Just I don't trust Paul Ryan at all. He's a traitor.
