Government Desantis understanding of the U.S. Constitution and the Florida State Constitution is amazing and his policies he has implemented for Florida have been good for Florida and if applied on a broader scale to the policies of the United States will be good for all of America. He also has the courage to fight for the rights of Floridians against the federal government, big business, woke agenda, and more.
He was on Mark Levin tonight and understands that core elements of good governance is based on t***sparency, integrity, accountability, lawfulness, sound policy, participation, responsiveness, and absence of corruption and wrongdoing.
We have not seen any evidence of the implementation of these core elements under the Biden Administration. Under President Biden, he has delivered zero, zilch, nada on the governing of this great nation!
Government Desantis understanding of the U.S. Cons... (

Governor DeSantis has done an admirable job as Governor of Florida. He has made all the "right" moves, and is seen by many as a well reasoned, "less obnoxious" Trump! They "May", or "May Not" be right.
Before c****ating Gov. Ron as the 2024 GOP nominee, I would hope everyone does their due diligence on vetting this candidate.
The "Uniparty" does an admirable job of putting up candidates, both of whom are willing to due their bidding.
Here are a few of the things on my list that concern me about Ron DeSantis.
1. DeSantis was a Republican United States House of Representatives member from Florida from January of 2013 through September of 2018. DeSantis was appointed to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs upon joining the House and went on to be chairman on the Subcommittee on National Security at the Oversight and Government Reform Committee. What did he accomplish? What is (was) his track record. (I'll leave that to people more qualified than me to answer that question).
2. Ron DeSantis recently faced backlash from hosting a panel on "media disinformation". That panel included attorney Libby Locke, who is representing D******n V****g Systems in its case against MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, Rudy Giuliani, and multiple conservative news outlets. DeSantis described her as an "extraordinaire at first amendment, defamation law."

Here’s a statement from Ron after the “DC thing,” as he calls it, at the Capitol:
“I actually am glad to see some of these people being arrested from the DC thing, because I think the prosecutions will really make a difference. I think it was a really unfortunate thing,” – Ron DeSantis on J6 arrests
And this is from Ron’s official statement that he shared on Twitter: (see screen shot at bottom)

https://www.tampabay.com/news/florida-politics/2021/01/12/desantis-says-hes-glad-violent-trump-protesters-are-being-arrested/DeSantis’ press secretary Jeremy Redfern, who is still employed, by the way, tweeted out that he wanted Trump impeached for J****** 6th, and also that
Ashli Babbitt deserved to be shot and k**led. He has since deleted those tweets.4. Who are the "big money donors" backing DeSantis, and what do they stand for? Again, I will leave it to others to flesh out their backgrounds and motivations.

He made a fortune from the Budget Suites of America extended-stay rental chain, which he founded in 1987. He put $350 million in profits from that business into Bigelow Aerospace, according to a 2021 profile in the New York Times.
Who supports Florida's governor?
DeSantis has ‘extraordinary’ billionaire support, with at least 42 backing him. Who are they?
https://www.tallahassee.com/story/news/politics/e******ns/2022/05/25/florida-governor-desantis-billionaires-by-the-numbers/9745560002/5. Who are Ron's political supporters, and what is position on Ukraine?
"When Trump announced his candidacy in 2022, conservative media began trotting Ron as the replacement for The Don, with
RINOs, from Paul Ryan to Jeb Bush, backing DeSantis. One of DeSantis' most prominent donors, Ken Griffin, has been vocally anti-Trump, going so far as to say he supports DeSantis because the Florida governor will
“blunt the vein of populism that has complicated the party’s relationship with the corporate world.” DeSantis has also praised the Ukrainian resistance to Russia's invasion, signaling he may
align more with the neocon establishment than America Firsters.
So, these are my concerns. What is your response (point by point please)
