TALLAHASSEE — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, whose bid for president ended following a distant second place finish in Iowa, is now poised to have a speaking slot on the main stage at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee next week.

DeSantis, once seen as a rising conservative star, was initially not scheduled to have a main stage speaking slot during the weeklong celebration of former President Donald Trump, three people familiar with convention plans but not authorized to speak publicly told POLITICO on Tuesday. Two of those people told POLITICO that, as of Wednesday morning, the plans had changed and DeSantis is now in the mix for a spot.

The graphics list the speakers. Some are great, I'm sure, but there are real duds - especially WV Gov. Jim Justice and "Babydog," his bulldog.

Interesting that you would degrade one of the most conservative governors we have.

No worries.  You need not come to FL.  FL is reserved for people who want to escape the DC establishment and liberal states.

I wonder if Trump's GOPe delegates will boo DeSantis like they did Ted Cruz in 2016.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

The GOP Civil War is over, and Trump has won.
