Why Ron DeSantis Is The Man To Lead The Great American Comeback

[mountaineer]

That right there should tell you everything you need to know.  And there are posters here on this forum who are 100% in bed with Democrats to see it happen.

"Strange bedfellows" doesn't even begin to describe it.

DeSantis isn't the best campaigner/politician among the contenders, but I'm pretty sure he'd make the best President by a good margin.

Yes!

I'm not looking for a 'polished' campaigner or politician.  I'm looking for someone who will lead us forward and that respects our Constitution.

You bet ya.  At this point, I think DeSantis is our best hope for our Republic.

Unfortunately, the masses are swayed by celebrity, good looks and/or glibness. An Abraham Lincoln or Calvin Coolidge wouldn't stand a chance today.

IMO, Americans, by and large, are drawn more to strength, courage and honesty than "polish" or "good looks" or "glibness".  Look beyond dissing Trump in abstenia for a moment ---- and explain how Vivek Ramaswamy is overtaking the self-annointed greatest governor in our lifetimes if this spin embraced by many is true.

If that were true, y'all wouldn't be throwing monkey-sh*t like you do.

Ramsy is telling people what they want to hear and is articulate in doing so; just like O'Bammy. 

BTW -- self-annointed??  B.S. He is an awesome governor though and with his record leaves little doubt he'd make a great president.

Drawn to strength and honesty yes.  Trump has shown strength at times, but his honesty is definitely in question.

There is nothing special about Ronny's tenure as governor except his Republican super majority in the state house, his Republican majority on the state Supreme Court, and use of Floridians to feed his opportunistic ego.

Bull.  He is getting things done period.  He got things done during COVID.  He got things done after Ian.  He doesn't sit on his hands and wait till the last minute to move to get something accomplished like Trump.  Trump had a super majority in his first 2 years and has nothing to show for it.

Hardly anybody's attacked Ol' Four Syllables yet. Nobody sees him as a threat—and he isn't one.

There has been exactly one U.S. President with four or more syllables in his last name... and that guy won World War II and was smart enough to drill the name "Ike" into people's heads. A guy with a last name like Ramaswamy isn't going to fly, especially with a Republican electorate.

If Trump all of a sudden disappears, a guy whose name conjures thoughts of that old doowop lyric Ramalamadingdong and South Asian swamis isn't going to become the frontrunner overnight.

But really, it's also the reason why your guy is still getting polling numbers. The vast majority of the dais is playing footsie with your guy except for Chris Christie, who also stands no chance. Yet everyone seems to be attacking DeSantis left and—well, further left. I've never seen it. The entirety of the negative campaign focused on the guy supposedly in distant second or third.

That tells me all of this polling nonsense is noise.

He didn't appoint the head of the GOP Swamp as his chief-of-staff.  He didn't give medals to Fauci and Milley.  He didn't give a dime of taxpayer money to Planned Parenthood.  And he didn't bury Florida with ten trillion in debt.

Ramsy's parents are migrants (illegals) from India.  End of story for me.  The only other research I found on him leads to his affiliation with Soros.  Done. 

In May 2023, Ramaswamy's campaign admitted that he had paid an editor to alter his Wikipedia biography before announcing his candidacy, but denied that it was politically motivated.[24] Forbes reported Ramaswamy may have paid an editor to alter his Wikipedia page to appear more favorable to political conservatives before announcing his campaign by removing references to his Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowship for New Americans postgraduate fellowship and his involvement with the Ohio COVID-19 Response Team.

In other words, someone other than Donald Trump.

Ronny followed the law of Fauci to the letter long, long after President Trump left office.

Trump had a RINO majority in the first two years of his presidency under the leadership of McConnell and Ryan --- the same ones using DeSantis to return to power.

A lie.

Trump had a RINO majority in the first two years of his presidency under the leadership of McConnell and Ryan

And a RINO President who supported them both.

--- the same ones using DeSantis to return to power.

A lie.

I am sick and tired of liars posting lies on this forum.

 DeSantis most certainly followed Fauci's lead , including in 2021 @Hoodat    Would you like me to repost the receipts you've missed?  Just say the word and I'll be happy to do so.

It will continue and will only become more egregious.

Cults of personality trade in lies; it is their common currency.  The Cult of Donald Trump is deeply ingrained in the minds of its adherents.
