Florida’s Governor may have wanted people to support him for President this time last year during his attempt to get the GOP presidential nomination. But with that option long since foreclosed to him, Ron DeSantis is discouraging Republicans and others who may be dispirited about Donald Trump from marking his name down as a misguided protest vote.
As DeSantis told radio host Guy Benson, the stakes are just too high in November.
“I’m not a candidate. You know, I’m voting for Donald Trump because I think that he will reverse Joe Biden’s border policies. I think he will appoint much better Judges than what Kamala Harris would do. And I think he would be much better on national security and national defense. And I think those are three clear contrasts between Trump and Harris,” DeSantis said.
“I don’t see as a conservative how you can have any common ground with Kamala Harris. She is the most left-wing candidate that the Democrats have run, certainly in my lifetime and maybe their entire time as a party.”
DeSantis’ response to Benson’s question isn’t completely academic.
When respondents were forced to choose between the major candidates in an Emerson College Poll this week, 8% of those who like the Governor say they will vote for the Vice President, who DeSantis has called a “vapid San Francisco liberal” and “impeachment insurance” for Biden.
DeSantis also hasn’t ruled out a run in four years.
While recent polling for now says VP nominee JD Vance, a thematic and stylistic analogue of the Governor in ways ranging from a blue-collar background to an Ivy League education, has supplanted DeSantis atop a list of 2028 presidential hopefuls, Florida’s Governor told supporters after leaving the 2024 race that he may make another run.
“I heard from a lot of people on the ground in these early states that, you know, they thought I was so wonderful, such a great President, but they wanted to give Donald Trump one more shot and they would just support me in ’28.”

Don’t worry. Mickey Mouse would probably be higher on the list.

A box of rocks is a better choice than anything you excrete onto the ballot.

Don’t worry, I won’t.
Ever.
But it’s a good idea to siphon votes away from Trump to keep him out of the WH. Dan Coats, Director of National Intelligence during the Trump administration, calls Trump a “Russian Asset.”

Did you watch Kammy last night? She has got to be the dumbest human being ever running for President. A full day of prep for that word salad?

Putin would destroy her, and we’d end up freeing another arms dealer in exchange another lesbian dope fiend. All in the name of pandering.

Kammy is absolutely horrible. Not very bright. Not very articulate. Poorly prepared even after taking the previous day off. She did do very well in the debate against Trump. Now more than ever I am absolutely on convinced someone at ABC tipped her and her team the debate questions. No wonder she was the first out in 2020. Crash and burn Kammy.

Trump didn’t exchange a lesbian dope fiend for a Russian arms dealer who’s guilty of contributing to the deaths of many people…That was YOU PEOPLE. that’s why Putin endorsed Karambula. He wants weak opposition. YOU PEOPLE want this too which makes YOU the Russian assets.

Thanks to Ron, Antifa and BLM Doxxers in other states have been arrested and transported to Florida for illegally posting google map images of people’s houses on Facebook to try and silence them. Now we are free to post more personal information without being concerned about their mob violence. It’s pathetic that laws must be enacted to protect but that’s just how the left rolls.

So, why do you think the Russians are smearing Harris and Walz with misinformation and fake AI? Simple: Trump is Putin’s useful idiot. He is blackmailing Trump. Trump is also known as Putin’s Pocket P*ssy.
