During an interview airing on CBS Evening News, Florida’s Governor was blunt about former President Donald Trump’s chances — or lack thereof — of winning the presidency if convicted in any of his upcoming trials.
“I think the chance of getting elected President after being convicted of a felony is as close to zero as you can get,” said Gov. Ron DeSantis.
“I didn’t think even before all this, that the former President should have run again. I mean, I think that there’s too many voters (for whom) he’s a deal breaker for them,” DeSantis told Norah O’Donnell.
The comments are the latest example of a Governor who has become more confident in making the case that Trump should not have run for another term given his various legal problems.
“Well, look, I never thought he should run to begin with, even before all these legal cases when he left office in January of 2021,” DeSantis said in August on Boston’s WBZ NewsRadio.
“I think he did a lot of good things, and I give him credit for that,” DeSantis added. “But I never thought it was a good idea for him to run again, because, one, I think we need a candidate who’s going to be able to win a clear-cut victory; two, we need a candidate that’s actually going to be able to deliver on all the things that we’ve been talking about, (and) that requires focus and discipline.”

Good evening America,
☆FYI this is a Staff update as Earl is in high level meetings at this time.☆
Leftist press along with the Intelegence agencys are now turning on Biden. New marching orders are coming out for our resident Dook 4 Brains Leftist commenters here at our beloved online host F. P.
Intelegence reports coming in hot to the Earl Pitts American’s Political Science Division are still raw data and we are in the process of consolidating incoming data to get a more clear story on this for our members.
At this time it is leaning twoards the left being aware they are giving up 2024 to Trump or Desantis and are going to lick their wounds for a while then regroup and make a hard run at POTUS in 2028.
More updates as they come in. Thanks Staff

Ron, you are getting really really close to the correct message. Trump was a VERY good President who was polarizing. Republicans love him because we see that there is much more Good than Bad and that Trump loves America. But for many, especially Democrats and Independents, Trump’s mean words are enough to disqualify him. It doesn’t matter how good a President Trump was or could be, Independents and Democrats will never vote for him. Especially after he is convicted of one of these phony crimes. Ron, you can win Independent votes, you’ve done it in Florida that was until five minutes ago a purple state.
