That’s because DeSantis is more of a genuine person. DeSantis is a warrior. Trump is a manipulative, flamboyant showman. Trump never served his country in the military, cheated on all of his wives and made weak political appointees. I will vote for Trump if he’s the only choice.

Trump never served his country in the military???

WRONG.

PDJT served with distinction as Commander in Chief of our Armed Forces between

2016 AD and 2020 AD.

He took very good care of the military.... and he never looked at his watch while out fallen warriors were returning home.

VA health care was operating better under President Trump.

VA health care sucks. My Vietnam vet husband will attest to that.

There are actually a few that are OK. However, the employees know they won't be fired.

It did piss me off that they were pushing the covid death shots so hard. The Secretary of Veterans Affairs forced all the employees to take the jab...tool of the Biden regime.

He didn’t put his life on the line. Huge distinction. I am an Army brat and know the huge sacrifices military service people make. I

Didn't put his life on the line?

Are you serious?

He had to wear a bulletproof vest and is still wearing one due to the media induced America LAST left wing/globalist nut jobs that want to harm him and his beloved ones.

He also served WITHOUT pay for his for years of service after being DRAFTED by the citizens of the USA in 2016. I don't know of any military members who serve without pay.

He leads rallies, engages with the public, puts his LIFE at RISK and he knows that it might be his last day on earth because he is a Patriot who LOVES AMERICA and that America is worth fighting for.

It's easy to judge anyone's life from the outside but until we have walked in his shoes, we have not earned the right to judge. I've got to hand it to Trump. He is showing more grit than anyone I've seen since JFK. For him to hang in there the way he has, in spite of all the abuse, tells me that he loves this country and realizes the danger we all are in. Yet he continues to fight.

As Tom Renz said:

"...They are willing to do absolutely anything to ensure Trump can’t get back into the White House. If you want to know why We The People need to support Donald Trump it’s because of this. If Mitch McConnell, Mitt Romney, the democrats, all oppose Donald Trump that tells me one thing, he’s the man. Anyone who’s under this much attack from the globalists must be a real threat..."

Well stated.

The indictment of Donald Trump has been inevitable since the moment Trump won the 2016 election, because all along, winning that election with the transformative America First message campaigned on has always been the “real” crime of Donald Trump.

I do agree about the fact that he loves this country and took enormous risks and made enormous sacrifices to serve as president and try to make things better for the citizens of this country. That is for me undeniable and probably the biggest point in his favor.

I remember being on the fence about him in spring 2016 and my mom telling me that she’d been listening to Trump as a pundit/commenter for quite some time before he ever announced his candidacy, and that it was very clear to her that he loves this country very much. That helped convince me.

By that token so did Biden as commander and chief. I don’t see that ad trump being in the military. Don needs to fade away and enjoy his fame and money

Clinton and Biden and Obama and Romney never served in the military either.

One of them wasn't even born here. Ha ha! I know that will draw out some complaints. But... way, way too many conspiracies have proven 100% fact the past 4-6 yrs, half of which have far less data/facts behind them than Obama's roots.

Character matters. DeSantis has character.

I don't trust people who cheat on and divorce multiple women. I can't see DeSantis EVER bragging about grabbing women's pu$$ies.

And Trump is a bully. Makes up mean names; makes fun of people.

DeSantis is assertive, stands up for his policies, without the bully streak.

Megyn Kelley had a great interview with DeSantis and she commented that they had dinner with Ron and Casey and the GENUINE love and respect between them. They would be a good role model for our children (unlike Trump- p0rn star lover). I remember when OS became a "thing" on the schoolbus when Clinton was the "role model".

The cheating really bothers me too (and the name calling to a lesser extent). Although I guess we can’t be 100% sure other candidates aren’t cheating too and we just don’t know about it. But I could never get behind the “oh it’s just their private life” excuse that people kept spouting during the Clinton administration. To me, if someone is ready to lie to and betray one of the people they supposedly love most in the world (or if it’s consensual, faking a loving and faithful marriage to the public), I always wonder who else they might betray and what else they are lying about. Now Trump might have repented and changed. That’s always possible and people should be able to start anew. But it always does make me a little skittish.

Sarahanne25, among the people I know in Florida Republican circles who know both of them well, they'd say the opposite to what you're saying about personality.

I was never a McCain fan, but I absolutely loathed Trump’s mockery of McCain’s time as a POW.

It's that level of 'Trumpiness' that is unhelpful to him, I think.
