DeSantis exits presidential race

Original Article

Posted By: BThis, 1/21/2024 3:20:40 PM

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is ending his turbulent presidential campaign and will endorse former President Donald Trump. DeSantis announced he’s ending his campaign in a video. DeSantis’ run came to a halt following a dispiriting second-place finish in Iowa, a state where he and allies poured millions into an aggressive get-out-the-vote effort that featured the governor visiting all 99 counties. He spent week after week in the state instead of establishing a presence in other early voting states like New Hampshire and South Carolina.

Comments:

This reversal follows DeSantis's admission three days ago that he regrets shunning media earlier in the campaign, but claimed he had enough resources to remain in the race.

I've said for a year.....It's not his year. Should have stayed in Florida doing an outstanding job. I am convinced, admittedly without solid proof, that his overly aggressive wife pushed him into this ill-advised run. Perhaps something like "Doc" Jill?

He got bad advice from everyone. It was his for the asking if he'd just waited out this race. He would have been unstoppable. He just got bad advice and I honestly think the Bushes did that on purpose. And his wife had visions of being First Lady and living in the White House. A mistake all around by everyone.

I always thought that 2028 was his time to run. However, I'm concerned that the Bushes were involved with his running this time. This means the Rino's and the swamp are his backers which is not a good sign for the future.

What we now know for sure is that there will be a lot fewer RINOs in Congress next year. The only question is, what percentage of the replacements will be Trump supporters?

Now, the Bushes, the NWO, the Rinos, the demoRats and the RNC can concentrate of pushing Nimrata - the one that can be controlled.

Thank you, Ron. You are making Florida great, and later, you may yet be needed to make America great again.

I’m sad. I was never going to vote for him while PDJT is in the mix. But I like(d) him. He always seemed fearless, which reminded me of PDJT. However, if he was influenced by the Bushies’ advice, I’m inferring he is not wise in seeking and accepting counsel. If money was a motivation, that’s a problem, too. In any event, I’m not sure how he now rounds this circle back in the square hole.

He's the best governor in the country by far; he should have waited 'til '28 to run for POTUS.

Well Nimarata, you have your one on one with DJT. Unfortunately I think that all of DeSantis support will go to the true MAGA candidate and you will lose by a bigger margin.

I find attempts to fault Casey for any of this way off the mark and snarky. We generally forget that when he first ran for governor he was NOT a good campaigner. We in Florida were very lucky he squeaked by Gillum. DeSantis is not particularly affable. He's improved, but he's still wonky. He's shown outstanding leadership in office, though, and his landslide re-election was a reward. There's a car in my neighborhood that sports a bumper, "Ron DeSantis—the Best Governor Ever." I pretty much agree. It's his misfortune to go up against probably the greatest campaigner in this generation, Donald Trump.

Now the question for Nikki is how much humiliation will it take in the votes to push her out?

Daniel “Danica” Roem, the first “transgender” state representative in U.S. history, won election to a new office last November and shared in a recent interview his intention to be sworn into the Virginia Senate with his hand on a heavy metal album rather than the Bible, as is tradition. Roem, a male Democrat who identifies as a woman, defeated incumbent Republican Bob Marshall for his seat in the Virginia House of Delegates in 2017, an upset celebrated by LGBT activists. Last fall, Roem won his race to move on to the state Senate. (snip) “I will be getting sworn in on a 1988 vinyl copy” of his favorite Metallica album,

TV court-show arbitrator Judge Judy Sheindlin said Monday on CNN’s “Inside Politics” that she thought Republican presidential candidate former Gov. Nikki Haley (R-SC) was the best choice to “redeem” the United States. Sheindlin said, “I met Nikki Haley about a year ago. Because I was impressed with her four years ago. And when she decided to dip her toe in the water, I said, it’s someone who I could embrace, but I first have to meet her. So we spent some time together, and I was impressed enough with what I heard and her history to travel 1,700 miles tonight to convince whoever I can in the state of New Hampshire

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday sided with the Biden administration in a case involving a razor wire fence along Texas’ border with Mexico. The court’s decision allows Border Patrol agents to cut concertina wire that Texas had installed along the border near Eagle Pass while litigation continues. The roughly 30 miles of wire had been installed as part of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's broader fight with the administration over immigration enforcement and attempts to stem the historic flow of migrants across the border since Biden's term began.

Consider this the one point of agreement between Israel and the terror network that has conducted war against it for nearly 20 years. Although perhaps there could be another point of agreement now as well — that October 7 changed everything. For Israel, it finally woke them from their fantasy that Hamas would turn into a governing entity rather than a genocidal terrorist network. For Khaled Mashal, it marked the first time that Hamas successfully turned the West into cheerleaders for their genocide, which fuels their fight in Gaza to this day. “From the river to the sea” means exactly what it states, Mashal asserts in this interview caught by MEMRI

The multitude of migrants flooding New York City have apparently not been cleaning up after themselves in the East Village area. For the past few months, adult migrants have stood in line outside former St. Brigid’s School on East 7th Street, the New York Post reported Saturday, noting the overflow of people has spilled into Tompkins Square Park as they wait to be given shelter and a bed. However, workers with the city’s Parks Department have been forced to remove three Port-a-Potties from the nearby park because they were left so dirty it became impossible to keep them clean.

A Harvard University-affiliated teaching hospital is seeking to retract or correct dozens of papers authored by four of its top researchers — including the hospital’s CEO — following a probe into allegations of data falsification. The Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston has already initiated six retractions to papers and 31 others are in the process of being corrected, the hospital’s research integrity officer, Dr. Barrett Rollins, confirmed to the Harvard Crimson. The corrections follow claims of data falsification leveled against the cancer institute’s CEO, Dr. Laurie Glimcher, chief operating officer Dr. William Hahn, director of the Clinical Investigator Research Program Dr. Irene Ghobrial and Jerome Lipper Multiple Myeloma

The prospect of a deal to release the remaining hostages held by Hamas appeared to recede on Sunday after a Hamas official said Benjamin Netanyahu’s rejection of their conditions meant there was “no chance” of their return. Netanyahu had earlier dismissed the militant group’s conditions to end the war, which he said included leaving Hamas in power and Israel’s complete withdrawal from the territory. A Hamas official, Sami Abu Zuhri, told Reuters the Israeli prime minister’s refusal to end the military offensive in Gaza “means there is no chance for the return of the [Israeli] captives."

The US Supreme Court on Monday sided with the Biden Regime and allowed Border Patrol agents to remove razor wire installed on the Texas-Mexico border. In a 5-4 vote, the Supreme Court granted Biden’s emergency request. Recall that Biden’s border patrol agents are cutting a razor wire fence on private property on the southern border to allow illegal aliens to enter the U.S., putting Americans at risk. Gov. Greg Abbott (R) previously installed about 30 miles of razor wire at the Texas-Mexico border near Eagle Pass to stop the flood of illegal aliens being let in by the Biden administration.
