It must really hurt to recognize you are doing things so popular that you have catapulted yourself to fame and possible massive power and then have bungled it so hard you have become one of the biggest jokes of your own party with all your star power faded.
Man was doing genuinely good things for his people in Florida, and hopefully he continues to do so from here. Inspiring other governor's to do the same will do more for the American people than him as President ever could.
He's like a Trumpian version of Ted Cruz. He bungled it because he doesn't have the strength to be president, and took advice from people like Soros, McCarthy, and a slew of Jeb Bush allies. He won't ever be president, but as we've seen a Ted Cruz can still manage to do plenty of good when in good environments, and advised to follow a populist message.
I honestly think that if he decides to properly acquiesce to Trump after he wins, and take on a bunch of Trump loyalists, he'll be in a good political position going forward. If he doesn't, he'll lose his whole career.
The problem I have, is that I think that was always the primary objective of DeSantis' advisors. Those Bushites and WEF-shills wanted him dead as much as Trump.
I still think his run was done to make him look weak and lose favor in the Florida governor's race. He has shown that this is still a republic and that states still have power to govern themselves. The expanding federal government doesn't like this and will fight dirty to preserve itself.
Florida is still going through huge population growth, largely due to people fleeing blue states and their blue policies. These newcomers, while realizing their previous homes have become uninhabitable, will still vote Dem because "It's different here" or "real communism has never been tried" or some other such bullshit.
Florida, like Texas, is poised to go purple if not full blue. With a Dem governor, depending on how the federal election pans out, the concept of the US being a republic will be dead. All powers will be ceded to the federal government, states will lose their autonomy.
(This growth trend is slowly reversing, though. I know a few of my neighbors who came from NY, NJ, and CO have decided FL is too redneck and are moving back. Also, the fastest growing counties are historically deep red, rural, and, until very recently, largely agricultural focused areas. Nationally famous Sherriff Grady "Leave people alone. Good people carry guns, and they will shoot you" Judd is the sheriff for the fastest growing county in the state.)

We're not seeing this, and this corresponds to the kind of thing that Thomas Sowell pointed out in Immigrations And Cultures.
People are from a specific time, and a specific place. They take that place with them when they go somewhere else. What is being taken with these people fleeing Florida is conservative values. Dem voters aren't fleeing to Rep states. They like living in the shit, and are proud they don't live in other places. Where we've seen Blue migration, it was basically intentional mass migration from California to create colonies in Red urban areas. That's a whole different concept.
Florida, like Texas, is poised to go purple if not full blue.
Both of these are false. In fact, Florida isn't just not going purple, every bit of signaling is that it is going to be staunch red state, and is likely to stay that way. Same with Texas. Mass migration from other countries, even at the Level that Texas has, hasn't managed to flip the state due to diminishing returns on colonization. Texas isn't going purple, it's getting Redder.
The political map is changing, but not to only blue everywhere. Florida, Texas, and Ohio are turning Redder. New Hampshire is turning Bluer. It looks like Clinton's "Blue Wall" are all now swing states, and even Minnesota is looking more swing, rather than reliable Blue. Also, Virginia and North Carolina also seem to be more swing, rather than reliable Red. Georgia actually seems to be becoming a complete lost cause for the Dems as bad as Florida is. New York state might even turn Red in the next 10 years if the Trump strategy of recruiting urban voters continues to work.
This might be controversial here, but I think he should stay in the race until Trump has the bitch beat. I think and hope most of his supporters would back Trump as a second choice, but there's no upside to potentially throwing the bitch a lifeline.
One hundred percent agreed. Say what you want about DeSantis, he's an excellent spoiler for Nikki. The farther we keep that psycho from the Whitehouse, the better. DeSantis needs to hang on for a while longer, then he can drop out after he's done his job of saving us from even the possibility of President Haley. Sadly, with how he's run his campaign, I don't even trust him to reliably beat her...but it's still better than nothing.
I'll grant him this: if he can beat Haley in South Carolina, I'll take that as a major win; I just don't know that he can, and I don't think his staff wants to.
He needs to leave before Florida, I don't hate Desantis I just think this year wasn't his year to run and hopefully this brusing has taught him a few lessons, similar to Ted Cruz after being beaten by Trump.
Him losing Florida to Trump would kill his political hopes so he needs to leave before then, endorse Trump then start bitch slapping Disney again because it is popular politically.
Yeah, I've been thinking about the Cruz situation lately. As long as DeSantis doesn't burn bridges with MAGA he should be fine. I think he can even afford to lose Florida. Cruz lost Texas to Trump in 2016 and he's still in pretty good standing. Really he just needs to avoid pulling a Romney or a Cheney, which he's smart enough to do.
He needs to leave before Florida. Being humiliated in his own state will be career suicide. He has a path to being the nominee in 28 if he's not a retard right now
He's a great guy and the best governor in the US. But after those absurd indictments, he had no chance. Also, he had a huge charisma deficit, which he should work on in the four years to come.
In 2028, he should run on making all the US like Florida.

I hope he returns to Florida and gets even cooler here.

Cruz defrauded Carson out of votes in Iowa by spreading literal disinformation. That's how he became Lyin' Ted.
However, he made amends and supported Trump on key issues at key points and became... Lion Ted.
That's some "We were always at war with East Asia" shit, but it shows the willingness of Trump to make allies out of enemies.
Everyone who said this was his year to run is a fool or a Useful Idiot. It was always going to be Trump, even if Trump was the wrong choice.
I said I'd love to see Larry Elder or Rand Paul run, but there was never a chance that anyone was ever going to beat Trump for the nomination.
At least he killed Haley's run, if he wasn't there you know they'd try even harder to push it was a 'two horse race'
There's a path for redemption just stopping that bitch.
He needs to leave before Florida. Being humiliated in his own state will be career suicide. He has a path to being the nominee in 28 if he's not a retard right now
Yeah, I agree. Dynamics might change in a two-way race, and just like that, there's a viable alternative to Trump.
He's a great guy and the best governor in the US. But after those absurd indictments, he had no chance. Also, he had a huge charisma deficit, which he should work on in the four years to come.

Oooooh! Very nice, very nice.
