In New Hampshire, Ron DeSantis gave a wide-ranging, nearly four-minute answer when asked what makes him a better presidential bet than Nikki Haley.
In his response, he offered a defense of his record in the U.S. military and Congress, while offering withering criticisms of the United Nations, to which Haley was the American envoy under Donald Trump.
“I had an exposure to terrorism that was different than what any of these other folks have had,” DeSantis said, noting that he’s the only candidate in the race “that’s actually worn this country’s uniform” and that he’s “one of the few who had degrees from Yale and Harvard and volunteered to serve in the military during wartime.”
DeSantis added that he was on the House Foreign Affairs Committee and a National Security Subcommittee Chairman. He also cited his “missions around the world” as Governor as an example of more relevant foreign policy experience, before turning his criticisms on the United Nations, which he deemed a “worthless organization.”
“All they do is sanction Israel. Like that’s really what it exists for,” DeSantis said.
“How does it really move the needle in any positive way? I think that their behavior has been a complete disgrace,” DeSantis said.
DeSantis also painted himself as a potential return to the “peace with strength” foreign policy rubric of the Ronald Reagan administration and a corrective to so-called “neo-conservative” views on foreign policy.
“I think our vision is really more consistent with the Reagan type foreign policy rather than the more modern neo-conservative kind of hyper-intervention policy,” he said, crediting himself also with “leadership and judgment” and having “actually been in the fire and actually had to make big, tough decisions and delivered when it counts.”
“They have not had to do that,” DeSantis said of his opponents, Haley and others.

Phuck off Julia,
But thanks Julia for giving The Earl top billing above all the Dook 4 Brains Leftist’s below.
Go with the experience America, we need The Ronald’s experience, not a pair of overies auditioning for “on the job training”.

What a shameless buffoon.
Imagine having this boasting dreg representing–far less leadiing–the United States.
Haley is head and shoulders over him.
Though that is an easy bar to clear.

Just because Nikki Haley isn’t a horrible little man like Ron DeSantis…… it doesn’t mean she will ever get the nomination or win a national election!

Not a chance, I would guess.
She is probably auditiòning for some appointed position somewhere.

I commend the Governor for his voluntary military service, unlike our previous President’s five draft deferments for heel spurs. But his base is no different from his draft dodger political party leader. Proud boys, Oathkeepers, and those who said he would pardon, are ‘DOMESTIC TERRORISTS’ and are punishable under the law, the US Constitution.

Good mornting Andrew,
Andy, when will it be time to cast aside your Dook 4 Brains Lefty ways and join polite society as a proper thinking, beloved, and trusted conservative.
You are getting too old for this Ang.
Most men transition to proper thinking conservatives at an age of 20 years younger than yourself Ang.
Dook 4 Brains leftism does not look good on an oldster man such as yourself Ang.
Its past time, Ang, for you to cast aside the wicked ways of your youth old feller.
Thank you Ang, and Ang Relax Your Sphincter,
Earl Pitts ” Everybody’s Daddy” American

The curious thing about Ron’s military service is the information gap from his time in Iraq.

“I had an exposure to terrorism that was different than what any of these other folks have had,” DeSantis said.
A man shouldn’t talk that way about his wife.
