Ron DeSantis scorches ‘delusional’ Trump over Florida crime claims: 'He’s been attacking me by moving left'
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said in a recent interview that former President Donald Trump’s allegations about crime purportedly soaring in the Sunshine State were "delusional."
"Florida’s crime rate is at a 50-year low. That’s just a fact, and it hit a 50-year low during my administration," DeSantis said during an interview on "The Ben Shapiro Show" Friday. "It’s hit a 50-year low while crime has been spiking in other places around the country."
"One of the main reasons families have moved to Florida since I’ve been governor is because of public safety, because they know we’re a law-and-order state. So that’s delusional to say that somehow Florida, you know, has bad crime," DeSantis continued. "You can see that in the migration patterns. People are leaving high crime areas, and they’re coming here. When the Floyd riots were going on in Minneapolis, I called out the National Guard in Florida immediately. I had state law enforcement deployed. We worked with our local partners. And we said very clearly, ‘You’re not burning cities down here. We’ll put a stop to it if it happens.’ And sure enough, it didn’t end up happening." ...............

Shapiro seems to be for DeSantis.... No endorsement yet, of course...
But he's for him.
DeSantis resonates among Conservatives.

It's early in the game, but I think at the end of the day, DeSantis is going to resonate with Independents and some liberals as well as conservatives. I'm predicting he'll be the GOP nominee.
Trump has court battles, legal troubles, age and character issues which I think will snowball preventing him from being the nominee.
Of course all of this hinges on a free and fair election -- something that not many are giving the much needed attention to.

That is my hope. Another issue is that more than half of Conservatives are no longer Republicans... That's an effective imbalance in primaries toward NEOCONs, and another hurdle. I actually think he's got it easier in the general.

Don't count him out. This is where he shines. Slinging sh*t is his super-power.

As an interesting aside... What happens if the current system gives DeSantis a landslide? Or even a clear win?

Yes, slinging sh*t is Donald's super power, but from what I've seen DeSantis has a very calm and collected demeanor which will absolutely drive DJT bonkers. DeSantis' strength of steel and not letting him get under his skin is going to be DeSantis' super strength.
All purely speculation on my part.
