What's your opinion of Florida governor Ron DeSantis?


Anybody who had a “just let it rip” attitude with coronavirus are just about the dumbest and most reckless assholes I could imagine, and would be in no way fit to govern a population wisely. That was a shining example of “how not to do it.” I’m sure the citizens who didn’t die or lose someone close to them enjoyed it, maybe thumbed their noses at us while they participated in large gatherings and shit, but remember people are absolute fucking idiots who unfortunately usually need someone else to force them to do the correct thing for collective society. I wish we could all do what the hell we wanted at all times too, but that’s not what a society is. The best part was Florida had ASTRONOMICAL Covid infection numbers, unsurprisingly, and then when Biden had to finally step in and say “bro, you guys can’t just go wild and then take the lion’s share of that hydro-chloroquine treatment from the federal government, and this dude and everyone turns around and acts like it Biden selfishly withholding treatment. NO, you fucking mongoloids…. it’s just that other people are getting sick, who ARE living in places that ARE doing their best, and they need the shit too, and it some point, “first come, first serve” has to give way too “Hey Florida, maybe chill the fuck and take a time-out like the rest of us are doing rather than just doing whatever, getting everyone sick, and then acting indignant when someone tells you you can’t have like 70% of the medicine because, you know, there are 49 other states who need it too, and not for nothing, they’re at least TRYING.
DeSantis is an absolute bozo. I hope his wife recovers from her breast cancer though🙏
He's actually a Navy vet, and still part of the Navy Reserves.
As of right now, he'd easily be my first choice for the next president, though I'm not sure that he's planning to run in 2024. He already said he has no interest in running against Trump (assuming Donald will run), and is committed to keeping Florida red and functional first and foremost. There's plenty of time for him to change his mind though, and he's clearly setting himself up to do it at some point.
In the Navy, he served/serves as a JAG officer. Now normally this would be pretty much useless as far as bragging rights or relevant background for political leadership is concerned, but he actually has some pretty unique experiences in this regard: He spent time with prisoners at GITMO, and was also a legal advisor to NSW SEAL Team 1 in 2007. This gives him a pretty unique perspective and insights as far as the military and foreign policy are concerned, especially for a state governor.
He's definitely going to run for president. Trump knows deep down he can't win a general election in 2024 nor are the Republican establishment aren't going to endorse him as strong as they did in 2016 so I doubt Trump runs for a 2nd term.
Moreover, Trump is a intolerable idiot that easily irritates literally everyone in politics at some point with his constant BS and whining and bragging.
“Tho he’s a republican” is your problem. If you have to fight through someone’s title to really see someone, you’re already blinded by partisanship.
That being said, I generally agree with a lot of the stuff he does but I wish he was more sensitive in how he talks. I agree that biological males shouldn’t swim against females and I agree that lgbt issues shouldn’t be taught to kids under 5, but he’s just a dick about it when he talks which gives his enemies great fodder to call him racist homophobe blah blah blah
I have a major problem with Republican economic policies favoring the rich and powerful and not the common man and woman.
That may be true about republicans (I have a problem with that too) but it’s also true about the democrats, the democrats just pretend it’s not a d republicans don’t.
Democrat traditionally cared to support unions lest workers get exploited, favor low skill workers getting a higher minimum wage, favor paid maternal leave for new moms, higher taxes on the super rich, affordable housing for low income families etc.
Republicans don't favor any of that. Everyone on their own.
Sink or swim is their political philosophy, a country and its citizens suffer greatly under such philosophy.
You keep comparing them like it’s one or the other. Take republicans out of the equation, and you see democrats really need to clean up their act. Morally it sounds great to hear what they say, but those things don’t work and when they don’t, the poor people suffer. The poor suffer in the recession, not the rich people. The poor people suffer with a lack of policing, not the rich people. The poor people suffer if they lose control of their healthcare because they’re not paying for it, so they don’t get to make the decisions. We need to step out of the red and blue, left and right perspective. They aren’t two sides of a coin or darkness vs light. They are both broken parties that need to do better and their supporters refuse to see that, so they never do.
Those policies do work if the government is determined to make it work but the Republican establishment fights against it.
Yawn. You’re bought and sold unfortunately. These guys are all talk.

Try…. just try…to see past the “good guys vs bad guys ideas”. These guys are lying to you and you’re thanking them
@Hispanic-Cool-Guy republican policies favor the working class, such as banning immigration to raise wages. trump did that
@007kingifrit: Republican party don't give a damn about the working class.
The Republican party supports the interest of high middle class and above.
They don't give a damn about the poor working class and their struggle and interests.
Once again your best argument to support democrats is how bad republicans are. So sad. One day you’ll wake up and see
well their motivations don't matter much, republican policies favor the working class
He would be the absolute best choice for Trump''s VP. And that would assure his presidency in 2028.
A Trump/DeSantis ticket would be unstoppable.
The word on the street is that the Dems are looking at a Buttigieg/O'Rourke ticket. lol
But O'Rourke would be way more entertaining than Pence was.

He is really stupid. My favorite part was his attempt to drum up public support by attacking Disney, which not only will they lose in court against the quite frankly terrifying Disney lawyers but they just destroyed the economic future of his state. Companies are not going to trust a state that backtracks on their contractual agreements and Disney in particular can't invest further into the state now.
If you go to Disney world in Florida and look around, its not because of some corporate pride that everything is "perfect" and clean, that is the literal brand they are trying to sell you on. If they can't enforce that image then they can't operate Disney world in the first place. It has to be "magical" to be worth the money they invest.
If or rather WHEN Disney leaves Florida, all hell is going to break loose. So yeah, Ron DeSantis might just have singlehandedly destroyed Florida. Very impressive in a way.
I actually like this guy. He signed the "Don't say gay" bill which prohibits public school teachers in Florida from holding classroom instruction about sexual orientation or gender identity. It's funny how these people are okay with banning the discussion of God but okay with discussing gay shit. Just weird
DeSantis has shown he is willing to fight for a coupled of high profile issues against formidable radical opposition. That is what voters want.
He's young enough to actually be able to do something. He's also brave enough to push back against the Marxist bullshit going around and protect kids.
I like him, but I haven't studied him in any detail.
I'm from Tennessee and I think Ron DeSantis is the best governor in the United States today. I do believe that he could run neck and neck with Trump in a primary but I also think it would be a very bad idea and I'm quite certain they have discussed the fact that it would split the party guaranteeing a loss against the Democrats. My opinion Ron DeSantis does not run until 2028 after Trump's next 4 years hoorah.
I don’t trust him he wants to turn Florida into the next Las Vegas and legalize gambling that will bring mafia crime and trouble and plus many people here in Florida will go bankrupt because they can’t control their gambling that makes for bad bad business. I’m not gonna vote for president like that I’ll vote for Donald Trump once again
Sounds like a perfect conservative president material, as he is similar to Trump, but has much less "aggressive" rhetoric, which was the main reason that discouraged some people. Hope he runs for president one day, if I were American, I would vote for him.
I don't know much about him, other than what I sometimes see in the media. He seems to be a guy who takes action, and doesn't care if that upsets some people.
I don’t agree with his politics but he’s handsome and seems nice and down to earth. Plus I heard he went to Yale.
He seems pretty down to earth and has common sense solutions to a lot of problems. He handled covid a lot better than Cuomo did.
Another psychopath seeking power over others. Sadly the people we need in power don't seek those positions & the society collectively is too ignorant (lack of knowledge) to change the pattern.
he's a fighter so i can support him, i don't think he can be a VP for trump and he won't run against trump, i will vote for whichever one takes it. desantis will run for office next time no matter what i'm sure
He will become president in 2024 or 2028.
Much as I like Trump, DeSantis has a cleaner reputation and he's doing good things for Florida.
republicans are the only ones who can make things right again. can't wait for biden to get out of office. just wish it was sooner...
No Trump will win again. Look I like him too. But the crap of Democrats have lost all people in US. We are not progressive like Russia we are give everyone equal right and under Biden we have no rights
First thought: his teeth must have been really expensive.
Logical afterthought: ''show-boy?''
Yet another American populist. He is like south American politicians. It is possible to see the results of south America of that people.
I've heard a little bit but one of the guys at work about him. I'd like to know more about him and his viewpoints. I just hope he's not a rhino.
I hope he runs for president. I think he’s the best conservative politician.
He's one of the best ones. Mostly libertarian in his leanings which is more or less better than most alternatives.
As I said in another thread, don't know much about him but he looks like a proper leader.
Mostly positive. There are a few things I disagree with him on but I see where he's coming from.
can't beat Trump and if he runs, he will be damaged goods , so he won't
I'm voting for him. But I wouldn't trust him
He aeems like a kiss ass. And he scared of trump for some reason.
Where your balls at
Tucker Carlson can be president as well if he wanted it. He dog walk trump and DeSantis.
He would make a good president looking at his track record
Apparently Ron De Santis is 5' 9" tall. I didn't know they stacked shit that high.
Yes, as a Democratic I would switch parties to vote for him or write him in
He's a demagogue willing to sell his soul and let his people die to pander to the MAGAt cult so he can position himself for 2024.
He's the man! Will hopefully be the next President.
A "conservative" version of AOC. It's all about performative politics.
I think he awesome and should run for vp with trump!!
In my opinion I think Ron Desantis is Wonderful.
I like him he seems cool
He is handsome. I will totally date him
A twisted and dangerous bigot.
Lol why? He seems like a cool humble man.
No he's not. y'all always pushing your homo agendas and he ain't allowing it
hey @Hispanic-Cool-Guy i wish you would block anon posters on your questions because of cowards like her
Would you vote for him?
No. I can't see myself supporting a political party that turns its back on the financially struggling citizens and just favors the financially successful and powerful. I seriously hate that.
But hasn’t that been exactly what Biden’s been doing?
I mean we’re suppossed to believe that nothing can be done about all this inflation stuff
He is level-headed, I like him too
Strongly prefer him over Trump.
He is a liar, a criminal, and mentally ill.
Floridians are very lucky to have him
should run for pres in '24
He looks like a Governer
