But, definitely didn’t want him in charge of the national. He and trump have different methods but their ability to damage and destroy what’s good are equal. I’m afraid when he gets back here Florida is going to take some punishment. Certainly the people who can’t defend themselves will. He really is a nasty man. I suspect Floridians will bear the brunt of his humiliation.

Ron wants to continue burnishing his ultra-RW christian white nationalist credentials for another run, so he won't let up on his anti-Woke, anti-Science, anti-LGBTQ, anti-Immigrant, anti-Education, anti-Disney crusade.

Two good things this Harvard failure has said: The first is that of course Trump lost in 2020. The second is that he's repeatedly ruled out serving as a running mate for either Trump or Haley, that he'd rather return to Florida and finish his term as lame duck governor in his final two years.
May he never darken the American political arena again.

Came out of nowhere and all of a sudden he’s the frontrunner. I wonder if he gets that it’s not his campaign staff, it’s not his donors, it’s not bad luck - it’s him. You have to at least credibly pretend to be a human being to be elected as President.

I will have to try to relate it in the style of Trump.

“Yesterday… Yesterday… This man, a veteran, highly decorated. He came up to me. I could see the respect for me in his eyes. Well, he came up to me and said, ‘Did you hear? Ron DeSantis dropped out and I don’t know who to vote for now!’. I could sense the deep fear he had. Very deep fear. This brave veteran of many wars. He was scared.”

The life of a dead party does not deserve respect. The Democratic party endures although it was also rooted in slavery. Now it has transcended and evolved and republicans remain to abuse other citizens today. ANY corruption must be opposed. Republican corruption far exceeds and violates American citizen ethics. This is not at all the party of Abraham Lincoln. This is the party of greed and corruption. Let them expire and be replaced by something human
