Ron DeSantis was a history major at Yale, but don’t expect him to offer a deep read on Donald Trump’s latest controversial comments.
“They’re poisoning the blood of our country. That’s what they’ve done. They poison mental institutions and prisons all over the world, not just in South America, not just to three or four countries that we think about, but all over the world. They’re coming into our country from Africa, from Asia, all over the world,” Trump said of undocumented immigrants at a rally this weekend.
The Governor has been reluctant to weigh in on what Trump could have meant, however.
“I don’t know what this means with the blood stuff. I know people are trying to draw historical allusions. I don’t know if that’s what he meant,” DeSantis said on Fox News Monday.
The “historical allusions” are to Adolf Hitler’s “Mein Kampf,” in which the then-future Nazi leader claimed that “all great cultures of the past perished only because the originally creative race died out from blood poisoning.”
In the Governor’s other reported comments on the Trump phrasing, DeSantis denounced it as a “tactical mistake,” as reported by WOWT.
“Why are we in a situation where we’re even having those discussions? We need a candidate that’s going to be very focused and disciplined…on pressing the case against the Biden administration…on showing what they did…what they’ve done has been a disaster for this country…and showing the American people how we are going to do it better.”

Good Morn ‘Ting America,
Many “Dook 4 Brains” Lefty’s in Our Great Nation are totally unaware of our “Sage Plan” to have Don gracefully bow-out of the race for POTUS aproximently 2 weeks prior to election day.
The “Suprise Withdrawal” will leave Ron DeSantis as the only logical choice.
So “Relax Your Political Sphincters America”. Secure in the knowledge that Earl and Ron will lead our Great Nation back to “Planatary Dominance”.

This guy Earl is the one that handed Ron the poop map during our Hannity debate and made my wife order the debate stopped.
We should cancel this Earl pest.

Imsgine how drab America would be with just “Anglo Aryans.”
Just imagine literature, science, meďicine, ànd food if nothing else.
Go to the rural south and you don’t have to imagine it.
The good and more diverse local foods are largely via the slaves.

ron is a wet dish rag, he doesn’t have any strong policy preference on any subject.He has chosen every position that he taken to vote pander.Making his track record that of less educated and disgruntled voters who feel that someone is going to take something from them. trump did the same thing when he scared old white voters with instilling fear in them that refugees and anyone that does not look like them has come here to do harm.Hitler did the same thing.
disantos has also weaken the educational system here by the same technique. Home schooling can never replace a solid education administered by professionals.

Perhaps Trump is in league with the Red Cross. They don’t let people who lived in Europe for at least 6 months donate blood because of mad cow. I always thought they meant the disease, but apparently they meant Trump.

Ron DeSantis proclaims such ignorance on so many topics (including law) that we hereby officially rescind his Ivy League diplomas.
Diplomas that we only gave him because he was a decent at sportsball before he got pudgy and old, and one of our biggest donors wanted us to do better at sportsball.

America was founded as a Judeo Christian country. It had a culture based upon the belief of hard work and sacrifice for the good of all and was welcoming to those who wanted to do the same and assimilate into our society. Today, 99% of those who are crossing the Southern and Northern Border, are not likely to adopt to our belief in that American society and honor our Legal system. They came and are here only for what Biden is offering them, which will be for their future vote. That is poisoning our America blood, destroying the America of our ancestors, turning it into a Third world POS.

America was not founded as a Judeo-Christian nation – nowhere does the Constitution even mention the word “God.” That nonsense was only added during the red scare of the Eisenhower era. That’s a Republican fever fantasy.
As to the border, go back to the “gang of eight” and the effort at comprehensive immigration reform (Rubio was one of those members). Sadly, what remains of the GOP refuses to lift a finger, and sees anti-immigration as a means to gin up hate and votes. They are not interested in sensible solutions, only more anger and blame. Only Congress can enact meaningful reform and a stupid wall is simply another way to feed Republican donors.

With the passage of time that nincompoop George W’s border plan looks better and better. Too bad W fell under the malign spell of Dick Cheney and took us into major overseas interventions and a major tax break for the uber-wealthy — kick starting the national debt’s rise again after a brief pause in the 1990s.

Anti-immigrant tough talk is just pandering to G0P voters.
But G0P’s inaction on the immigration problem they allege to their voters, that inaction is their action on immigration, and it’s pandering to the folks who matter, the folks who want an endless supply of cheap laborers who exist outside the protections of US law.
G0P’s inaction on immigration also benefits the folks who sell guns and ammo that crosses the border illegally heading south to stir up more violence which makes sure the endless supply of cheap laborers who exist outside the protection of US law continue arriving despite knowing it sucks here for them.
For the G0P, the border isn’t the problem. It’s the solution.

America was founded as a Judeo Christian country?
There were not many Jews in USA until the 1940s after fleeing Nazi infested Europe, but you think America was founded Judeo Christian?
What you smoking, my man? I want some of it, but not nearly as much as you’ve smoked.
And what about people crossing via the Eastern and Western borders? Do you approve of them just because they arrive by boat?
Build that wall and everybody who currently crosses the Southern border will start arriving by boat, a lot of them arriving directly in Florida, and you will be SO confused about which immigrants to like and which ones to hate.

Fun Fact:
Everyone in America knew who Donald Trump was referencing in his “poisoning our blood” comment except for Elise Stefanik and Ron DeSantis!
Republicans are America’s worst enemy!
Vote all Republicans out of office.

Ron DeSantis doesn’t know anything. He couldn’t go to the mens room alone without making a big mess. It’s no surprise that he doesn’t know what Trump means when he spews forth. He wants the #2 spot and is unwilling to take any position that would upset anyone.

Every accusation from a G0P is a confession.
Trump is telling everyone HE has the sepsis and will die soon.
