Of Course Ron DeSantis Will Run…and He May Very Well Win
Kurt Schlichter
Posted: Sep 22, 2022 12:01 AM
When Ron DeSantis is consulting renowned experts about whether or not to run for president in 2024, the man he is most likely to listen to is President Chris Christie. Well, not literally listen. He’ll instead learn from the potential prezzy who ended up presiding in network green rooms instead of the White House because he declined to run when he had his big – well, everything about him is big – chance in 2012. The Gov will also look to the lessons of President Mario Cuomo. These two guys hesitated and missed their window, just like there are some folks – Mitt Romney, John Kerry, Felonia Milhouse von Pantsuit – who never actually had a window at all yet still tried to dive through one and ended up defenestrating themselves.
Remember a decade ago when we had Christiemania, when he was a breath of fresh air blowing away lib pieties after an improbable New Jersey governor win? And instead of striking while the presidential iron was hot, he failed to go for it, and now he will never be president of anything except maybe the International Society to Prevent Cardio. Mario Cuomo similarly blew it in the 80s. He was the Dem candidate who sped up the Dems’ heartbeats with his unapologetic defense of liberal values. He had his shot, and played Hamlet, and never became president. Today, he’s remembered only for being the father of two big creeps.
The 2024 cycle is undoubtedly Ron DeSantis’s moment. He won a first election that everyone expected him to lose as the governor of the Free State of Florida. He will win a crushing victory over secret lizard-person Charlie Crist this November. And he has set about owning the libs hard not merely by humiliating them for their hypocrisy with awesome moves like sending illegals to Martha’s Vineyard but with substantive conservative policies that are sucking the remaining productive people out of hellscapes like New York and California.
He has governed like a conservative, and he has the receipts. Florida works. Its kids went back to school while blue state bosses were still sacrificing their own kids’ futures to the garbage teacher unions. He is fighting wokeness and its poisonous CRT ideology. He treats the media like what it is – a pack of flunkies. And when he picks fights, he wins them. The base loves him. The polls bode well, to the extent polls are not mere onanism.
If Donald Trump was not still in the picture, he would be the unquestioned frontrunner. But Donald Trump is in the picture.

I do not believe DeSantis will challenge Trump. Cruz won't do that either.
-
It has been 12 years (Tea Party) since we Conservatives have had a legitimate say in this game. Instead of this 1 step forward 2 steps back populous crap.
-
Probable have a few good candidates run if not for the stoner option (which does not really include Ted Cruz) of Trump vowing to ruin anyone that runs against him just because he is so self centered.
-
My option was not found. corbe poll fail.

Not going to run against Trump. However I don't agree that this time is his only opportunity.
Four years from now he is very likely the leading Republican candidate.

DeSantis has commented several times that he wants to stay right here governing FL and has no interest in the presidency.
IMO he has been a very good governor. I believe all the rumors about a Trump DeSantis feud are false.
I don't see anyone challenging Trump and I think it would be foolish if they did. Trump will probably announce his intentions after the mid terms and when he does, should he decide to run, I still think he'd be very wise to select Cruz as his running mate.
Then in '28 a Cruz DeSantis ticket perhaps.
I think most of us realize that this country will not survive much longer headed on its current course.
-
I sure hope so.
I have had enough of Trump's idiocy. Ridiculing DeSantis like he has done the last couple days turned me off completely. I will not vote ever again for the dummy.
Trump promised to end the H1-b Visa Program, and six months into his presidency, he met with the tech billionaire oligarchs, and he emerged and increased the number of H1-b Visa recipients. He never did anything. That is 1.6 million H1-b Visa recipients, almost all from India, taking high paying white collar jobs from Americans. And the folks pouring over the border are taking the blue collar jobs. And these people are working for less in wages than what Americans would work for. And this is perfectly ok with many business owners. Well, it is not ok with me. It is a total betrayal of the American people to allow this bullsh*t.

The Republican Party could nominate Jesus Christ in 2024 and he would lose if election laws continue to be ignored with complete impunity!
