Of Course Ron DeSantis Will Run…and He May Very Well Win

Guest Post by Kurt Schlichter

Of Course Ron DeSantis Will Run…and He May Very Well Win

When Ron DeSantis is consulting renowned experts about whether or not to run for president in 2024, the man he is most likely to listen to is President Chris Christie. Well, not literally listen. He’ll instead learn from the potential prezzy who ended up presiding in network green rooms instead of the White House because he declined to run when he had his big – well, everything about him is big – chance in 2012. The Gov will also look to the lessons of President Mario Cuomo. These two guys hesitated and missed their window, just like there are some folks – Mitt Romney, John Kerry, Felonia Milhouse von Pantsuit – who never actually had a window at all yet still tried to dive through one and ended up defenestrating themselves.

Remember a decade ago when we had Christiemania, when he was a breath of fresh air blowing away lib pieties after an improbable New Jersey governor win? And instead of striking while the presidential iron was hot, he failed to go for it, and now he will never be president of anything except maybe the International Society to Prevent Cardio. Mario Cuomo similarly blew it in the 80s. He was the Dem candidate who sped up the Dems’ heartbeats with his unapologetic defense of liberal values. He had his shot, and played Hamlet, and never became president. Today, he’s remembered only for being the father of two big creeps.

The 2024 cycle is undoubtedly Ron DeSantis’s moment. He won a first election that everyone expected him to lose as the governor of the Free State of Florida. He will win a crushing victory over secret lizard-person Charlie Crist this November. And he has set about owning the libs hard not merely by humiliating them for their hypocrisy with awesome moves like sending illegals to Martha’s Vineyard but with substantive conservative policies that are sucking the remaining productive people out of hellscapes like New York and California. 

He has governed like a conservative, and he has the receipts. Florida works. Its kids went back to school while blue state bosses were still sacrificing their own kids’ futures to the garbage teacher unions. He is fighting wokeness and its poisonous CRT ideology. He treats the media like what it is – a pack of flunkies. And when he picks fights, he wins them. The base loves him. The polls bode well, to the extent polls are not mere onanism.

If Donald Trump was not still in the picture, he would be the unquestioned frontrunner. But Donald Trump is in the picture.

And he has every right to be. Let’s cut the baloney the regime media keeps serving up. This was a great president who made huge substantive improvements to the country. By defeating Bill Clinton’s wizened baby oven – maybe – Trump literally saved the Constitution. And he would have done even more but for an indisputably questionable election and the unprecedented, fully-fascist attacks of the Establishment and their media and bureaucratic allies.

There are good reasons for Trump to run, and good reasons for him not to, and none of them matter because the decision is Trump’s. The smart money says he will go for it.

So, does Ron DeSantis step up to the 800-pound Gorilla Channel fan for a clash of the titans?

There are rumors that he has promised not to run if Trump does. Do not believe them. There is wishcasting to the effect that he would take the veep slot. It won’t happen.

The fact is that this is DeSantis’s time to score the Big Enchilada.

He is never going to be better positioned than right after his smashing reelection victory. He will have the momentum, he will have the excitement, and he will have the bully pulpit as governor of America’s most vibrant state.

He’s young (44) and he could wait, in theory. But why? Youth is part of his sell, and that applies both to the relatively youthful Trump and especially to crusty Grampa Badfinger should he run again (which he seems to want to do). And after getting the nomination, some Democrat is going to have to spend the campaign explaining how inflation, foreign defeat, and an open border are actually good things. With potential competition like Crusty, Kamala, or that supply chain superhero/scourge of “racist roads” Buttigieg, DeSantis would have to try to lose.

But most of all, he has to consider the fact that things can only go downhill for him from here. An economic downturn. A hurricane the regime media will blame on his personal carbon footprint. A terrible heath crisis (thankfully, his wife recently beat cancer and is back by his side). It could be anything. And it could change everything. Chance is a fickle and cruel dominatrix, just the way the Dispatch guys like ‘em.

The problem with being on top is that there is nowhere to go but down. That’s the position Ron DeSantis would find himself looking at in 2028.

Sure, Trump has the poll numbers right now, but right now the 2024 race is a hypothetical. Republicans generally like Trump, except for the Never Trump sissies no one cares about anyway. But the midterm flogging of the Dems is not even complete and no one being polled is thinking deeply about 2024 yet.

“Who do I like? Haven’t given it much thought. Trump, I guess. Now stop calling me during supper.”

But soon, they will have to think about it. They will have to start weighing the alternatives. The GOP base loves only one thing more than Donald Trump, and that’s winning. Ron DeSantis is a proven winner. Donald Trump has the entire axis of evil gunning for him. The GOP could very well offer The Donald a gold watch and a handshake once they think it over.

Or not.

But one thing is undeniable. Ron DeSantis is the best positioned to beat Trump of any Republican who might run. And, unlike Trump, he has no firm ceiling for votes in the general. If Trump wins it will be a squeaker – it’s just a function of how many losers hate him. DeSantis has no such baggage.

And DeSantis knows all this. He’s not dumb, and neither is Trump, who sees the governor of New Alligatoria as his only real competition. The libs are dumb, but even they see it. That’s why we are already getting the inevitable “Trump is literally Hitler, but DeSantis is literally Hitler²” articles and tweets.

The stars have aligned. All the pieces fit. The time is now. Ron DeSantis really has no choice but to run if he ever wants to be president – he will never have a better chance. Just ask ex-President Christie.

Who cares? Do we think he’s going to change anything? Do we really think this time they won’t pull the football out from under us? He won’t even bar the EffBeeEye from his state, but we expect him to destroy it?

Of course he’s going to run, they’ve been grooming him to do that his entire life. He’s barely even running for Governor, he’s basically already started his national campaign in the aftermath of the mar a lago raid with rallies in AZ, OH and PA. Guess he knows something we don’t, like whether Trump will even be legally eligible to run.

He’s leapt from one government job to the next since he graduated from Yale and Harvard Law. From being a military lawyer, to a normal scum sucking lawyer, to a politician, there hasn’t been a moment of Ron’s adult life where he isn’t receiving a paycheck from daddy govt. He has the resume of any other slick haired politico, and his campaign is almost entirely funded through wall street and big business donations.

Always the tough talk from Ronnie, never the follow through. Oh hey big deal Fauci should be investigated, what about all the doctors in Florida who helped facilitate his regime of death and destruction? Can we investigate maybe a little closer to home first? Oh no woops we can’t, slick haired Ronnie gave them all legal immunity.

If you keep falling for circus acts like this guy, you only have yourself to blame.

Well. If you don’t live in la Florida Let me ask you what the period from spring 2020 to summer.2022 has been like for you where you live?
Because in Florida, aside from a brief period in the Spring of 2020, when it could be justified that it was a rational choice to take a pause, Florida has been free of the covidiots nonsense. No lockdown, businesses have been open, churches were open, the economy is doing so well that Desantis just announced a 1 billion dollar cut in the stat sales tax.starting next year.

I do live in Florida champ, born and raised. Just because he was better then the utter dog shit inhabiting most governor’s mansions, that doesn’t mean he did a good job. Don’t give me this “it was reasonable” line either.

It was never reasonable to usurp our private property rights. It was never reasonable for hospitals to treat the sick like they were in a concentration camp. It was never reasonable to shut down churches and keep dispensaries open.

He shut down too. He pimps the shots too, parroting the whole safe and effective bullshit like the rest of these clapping seals we call leaders. His illegal and immoral orders led to the arrest of pastors. These Florida hospitals were killing fields just as much as other states were, I know because my wife worked in them throughout this time period and sees the aftermath of this hideous injection campaign every day.

Just months ago, he gave legal immunity to the butchers and murderers called doctors that facilitated the Covid coup. Multiple family members and friends of mine in the healthcare field are still under the gun for vax mandates.

What happened to all those sweet bills that passed? What happened to no vax mandates or you face crippling fines? So we can threaten the Special Olympics if they don’t comply, but his big corpo donors are off the hook? Why are hospital conglomerates like HCA still forcing boosters on their employees with no legal repercussions?

A law is only as good as it’s enforcement, and for all his tough talk and rah rah speeches, he NEVER follows through once these bills pass. Some retard judge strikes the abortion ban down, oh well guess we gotta keep killing babies Florida.

Maybe Covid hell ended for you, that’s great. But the healthcare workers of this state are still being forced to jab up or lose their livelihood. They still have to wear the tard rag. They are still subjected to daily or weekly testing regimens.

This Governor hasn’t done shit about it. I mean worse then not doing anything, he talks like he’s on your side and then chooses to do nothing about it. In my eyes, that’s even worse then just doing nothing.

He knows what is right, and chooses not do so.

Here, well everywhere it seems, matryoshka metaphors karma, as Forrester finds, yet again, his old nemesis from Name of the Rose, & all the rest of the stock characters, too (coming back as a worm might start to sound like progress as versus coming back with the same lot over & over again):

From Quigley’s massif:

“…After the Bosnian crisis of 1908, foreign affairs became increasingly absorbing, & by 1910 Stolypin had lost his enthusiasm for reform replacing it by senseless efforts at Russification of the numerous minority groups. He was assassinated in the presence of the czar in 1911.

The fourth Duma (1912-916), was similar to the third, elected by complicated procedures & on a restricted suffrage. The policy of drift continued & was more obvious since no energetic figure like Syolypin was to be found. On the contrary, the autocracy sank deeper into a morass of superstition & corruption. The influence of the czarina became more pervasive, & through her was extended the power of a number of religious mystics & charlatans, especially Rasputin. The imperial couple had ardently desired a son from their marriage in 1894. After the births of four daughters, their wish was fulfilled in 1904. Unfortunately, the new czarevich, Alexis, had inherited from his mother an incurable disease, hemophilia. Since his blood would not clot, the slightest cut endangered his life. This weakness merely exaggerated the czarina’s fanatical devotion to her son & to her determination to see him become czar with the powers of that office undiminished by any constitutional or parliamentary innovations. After 1907 she fell under the influence of a strange wanderer, Rasputin, a man whose personal habits & appearance were both vicious & filthy but who had the power, she believed, to stop the czarevich’s bleeding. The czarina fell completely under Rasputin’s control &, since the czar was completely under her control, Rasputin became the ruler of Russia, intermittently at first, but then completely. This situation lasted until he was murdered in December 1916. Rasputin used his power to satisfy his personal vices, to accumulate wealth by corruption, & to interfere in every branch of the government, always in a destructive & unprogressive sense. As Sir Bernard Pares put it, speaking of the czarina, “Her letters to Nicholas day by day contain the instructions which Rasputin gave on every detail of administration of the Empire – the Church, the Ministers, finance, railways, food supply, appointments, military operations, & above all the Duma, & a simple comparison of the dates with the events which followed showed that in almost every case they were carried out. In all her recommendations for misnisterial posts, most of which are adopted, one of the primary considerations is always the attitude of the given candidate to Rasputin.”

Behind every good XY is a great XX. Or, gender, when it comes to “power,” is a just a distraction. Or, it’s a mixed up muddle up world ‘cept for Lola.

Cue blind Pacino & his flamethrower. Hoo-ah!

Well champ, all those things that you said were unreasonable were. Bit they weren’t going on in Florida. What he did was shut the state down for a few.weeks, not months and years like the people you seem to be comparing him to.
And please spare me about the health care workers, there was no state mandate for injections.
As for his pimping the shotsthat was so 2020, he has been the one and only governor who pushed back on children’s injections. So by that metric alone he is far and above all the other governors in the country.

It’s up to the AG to fight for the Abortion law, or any law.that was challenged in court., that’s how the State Constitution works.
And to tell you th truth champy the medical industrial complex can go fuck itself. They had a choice between getting federal money to push the covid protocols that killed people or to use safe and effective inexpensive treatments that cured people but didn’t get them money from the government.
Are you friends in healthcare prescribing Ivermectin or HCQ, or are they still pushing Remdesivier down people’s throat to cash in on the $48,000 federal pay out? Are they pushing Pfizer drugs that don’t work but burn out people’s kidneys when Pepcid AC or Claritan is more effective as a therapy.
If not they suck so phuck themselves as well
And they chose to kill people and take the money.anyway Champ your putting on Desantis what the federal government did.

And Champ, it’s the Local Sheriff’s and police chief that enforces the laws.
And spare me the whole the Doctors are bad but my friends and relatives in the hospital system are good BS, they are all part of the medical industrial complex, if the hospital has become a death camp because of the Doctors, any one who goes along with it, just to keep a paycheck is just as loathsome as those Doctors.
Once someone who works at such a place realizes.what’s going on, and they stick around, they aren’t any different, just following orders won’t work in Nuremberg II.

So according to you this didn’t happen then? No pastors arrested in Florida you say? Churches weren’t closed down you say? Dispensaries weren’t open while business were forced to shutter their doors?

Hillsborough pastor arrested for violating rules amid coronavirus outbreak

https://www.leafly.com/news/politics/arizona-florida-dispensaries-remain-open-during-summer-covid-19-spikes

Lol your just making shit up now champ. The vax wasn’t even in widespread distribution in 2020. This is him in 2021, just over a year ago, saying the same exact shit Don Lemon was, safe and effective safe and effective blah blah blah.

https://www.news4jax.com/news/local/2021/07/21/desantis-these-vaccines-are-saving-lives/

I will give him credit he isn’t in favor of poisoning children, just their parents. Truly a moral standout.

He shut the state down for 6 months. Not a few weeks like you are claiming.

https://abcnews.go.com/Health/wireStory/florida-governor-reopening-states-economy-spread-73244205

So the crux of your argument is just factually incorrect on multiple fronts.

As for your other assertions, no my family and friends were not complicit in these schemes. They stood up against the murderous edicts and were punished for it. They have been reprimanded and censured for giving advice counter to the CDC and WHO’s edicts. My brother was almost kicked out of residency for advising people against taking the shot. And it’s this Governor who signed the bill that opens up Doctor’s and Nurses like this to even more legal jeopardy. I agree with much of your disdain for the Medical Industrial Complex, and have said the same things to them. They are currently vacating their previous fields to work outside the system.

https://health.wusf.usf.edu/health-news-florida/2022-02-25/desantis-signs-a-bill-that-extends-covid-protections-for-health-care-workers-to-june-2023

Are there others in state gov’t who failed spectacularly during this time period? Yes. Does he bare all the blame? Certainly not. But he is the QB, he is the leader. He gets the credit for the good and the bad, that’s part of the gig.

The Governor of this state has wide latitude to shitcan Sheriffs and other state officials for negligence and failing to uphold their duty and oaths. He wasn’t just some helpless victim here while local government ran amok, he could have intervened and interposed himself to defend the constitutional rights of his citizens. He failed to do so. He can fire Sherriff Israel, he can fire the Tampa DA, but he can’t fire a Sheriff for arresting a pastor? Come on man.

TLDR; Stop watching Fox News and come back to reality.

The last person I voted for president was Ross Perot. Why?
Because he explained HOW he was going to do what he wanted if elected AND he had a backup plan if that didn’t work. How simple is that? Have a plan and explain how you’re going to do it.
Huge difference between what and how.
Name any presidential candidate that has done those things in the last 30 years.
Answer: Nobody…. instead we get “I will do whatever those that vote for me want me to do” and they don’t do it.
That’s why I no longer vote.

Predictions –

1) If DeSantis has been turned (or always was), he will run against REPO Man (Trump) and the Pence / Haley ticket will sit it out. DeSantis won’t beat Trump so he will be chosen by The Chosen to be VP and play the role of Rasputin like many before him. Cheating will again throw election to DNC.

2) If DeSantis isn’t fully Kosherized, extremely Kosher Pence / Haley ticket will run against REPO Man and lose. After that Pence / Haley will run as a third party in general election to “Save America” and throw election to (drum roll please) – Big Mike and an Obama 4th term. Newsom isn’t a Deep State Obama acolyte, he’s old money San Francisco pol for hire via his place in the Brown-Pelosi-Newsom-Getty mafia. Third party combined with cheating will throw election to DNC although Dem excitement and turnout would be high as they would get an opportunity to elect a real nigger this time instead of just a CIA mulatto half nigger.

3) They will cheat like hell again in midterms and DNC will control both House and Senate. God help us as we will again do nothing except complain. You thought shit was fucked up now, these will be considered the good ol’ days by our children.

It’s all just a big steaming bucket of shit at this point. Prepare accordingly.

If you still think our solution is in this broken federal political system, I don’t know what to tell you. This government has been broken in fundamental ways for over a century. Anyone who’s name you know is systemically compromised. The cancer is so entrenched at this point, that if you threaten the system you will be executed. See the Kennedy brothers, MLK, Malcolm X, a host of whistleblowers and journalists, or sitting congressman Larry MacDonald.

There is no singular politician who could fix it.

At this point it will take an act of God to avert the total destruction of our way of life, and we frankly don’t deserve it after the 60 million lives we have snuffed out in the womb. If God destroys is, it will be just. And if he spares us, it is because he has chosen to be merciful to his petulant children.

The problem isn’t any single politician. The problem is us. We have become an indolent , greedy, slothful and haughty country. We claim we are for liberty while exporting death and destruction across the globe. Our politicians are a reflection of us. They come from our homes, our churches and our schools.

If we truly want to fix this country, first we should start with ourselves.

Be the change that you want to see? That worn out phrase? No one can change anyone else; their thinking, their beliefs, their actions.
Even if you embrace the phrase, it will be just a start of a change of one., just you.
Just one… and few will follow, if any. Venting frustrations about current state of affairs on the net, accomplishes nothing. Everyone speculates how we got to this place, it doesn’t matter-we are here. ssdd. There is no perfect man, no man savior for the US to go back to the good old days. (Were they ever that good?)
How are you changing things? It cannot be “fixed”. Voting (lol) in other people will not change a thing. Every day every year is a march toward the one agenda end goal, since the original founders died off.

foreign owners of the FED who always choose the POTUS. However, that

Great paragraph in a strong post.

Roe Vs. Wade being over turned on June 24th was a massive, powerful, tremendous positive change in the spiritual realm of the dis-united states of America.

The last week of September and all of October are going to be monumental as far as what TLPTB (L=Luciferian) are going to do pre-election as America approaches a Red Sea moment.

To me the big question and greatest hope I have is in your paragraph I quoted above…What is the Triune God going to do?

Seems to me TLPTB are attempting to bum rush in their brief appointed time before the Return of the King. The next five weeks are going to be historical in what I like to call His-story.

God could destroy all his creation any second.

For those that believe in evolution , …maybe watch Is Genesis History? The narrator starts off the most simplistic of ways in denouncing the billons of years necessary to make fossils and such. A simple example, Mt. Saint Helens. One only has to consider the alteration of earth from that volcanic eruption in only two days to realize their were no boundaries in God’s creation in six days.

And the account of the flood and Noah. God created genetics , DNA, everything. Noah had “cat” type creatures but only two. Likely my cat was not on board per se, his God given molecular makeup was however.

You seem to have assumed a lot from a simple statement. I’m not an anarchist, although I’ve certainly warmed up to their arguments as I’ve grown older. I haven’t advocated anything beyond putting your own house in order before thinking you can solve the problems of a nation. The problems we face are spiritual, not worldly. I do believe that every man must bow the knee to someone, but my King is Christ, not some earthly imitation.

But I disagree with your assessments on two points:

1) This isn’t a representative government any longer. Lincoln invading a sovereign nation, which the Confederacy was, and then forcing its inhabitants to join their nation negates the very idea of self determination. If I can’t leave your club after joining lest you burn my house down, that is the very definition of force and coercion, negating the very idea of representation.

The idea that these people are even my legal representative is laughable. They can’t be sued, they can’t be charged for blatant lies or fraud while campaigning, it simply does not meet the definition of a legal representative. If there is no legal recourse or punishment for their abuse, then this is simply a one way street that can only end in tyranny, as we see today.

2) This is no longer a republic. In fact we meet most of the definition of classical fascism, the merger of state and private enterprise for a common goal. Or as Trump liked to call it, the private-public partnership.

If you enjoy living under such a regime, as long as it has the trappings of Americana, well that’s your prerogative. For me, engaging in such a system at the federal level is not only counter productive but also morally degrading. At the local level we still have a modicum of power, but most of us are too deluded by another election soap opera to actually harness it.

“Trump literally saved the Constitution.”

Is this a joke? Trump crushed what was left of it by shuttering the entire economy. This is why you can never trust a conservative. They run on Reagan and govern like Cheney.

Who does Fauxi work for. Same “Company” Donnie works for. What does that “Company want?

Why? I’m glad you asked.

The Fate of the Serpent
14So the LORD God said to the serpent: “Because you have done this, cursed are you above all livestock and every beast of the field! On your belly will you go, and dust you will eat, all the days of your life. 15And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed. He will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.”
Berean Standard Bible · Download

The “Company is the spawn of Satan Through Cain. Trace the Kenites from Edom back to Eden. We are Israel not the name stealers. We have discarded all the lies they have told us through control of our schools and churches yet we cling to the one most harmful and damaging lie of all. The they are the chosenites and their name cannot even be whispered in connection with anything negative.

Trump stood in the gap.
His SC appointments helped “save the constitution” in my opinion. Had Hillary been anointed we would have 3 more Kagans or worse.
Trump made every move he could to open the economy including jumping on The Vax grenade. I imagine we would still mostly be on lockdown with someone more amenable to Davos/WEF.
Speaking of, he also torpedoed their Paris Accord, which put them back years. Looks at their frantic pace implementing Green New Deal.
With just a cursory amount of looking one.can quickly establish there is no greater threat to the Constituion than plans articulated by the WEF and their Davos lackeys.
There has be no greater opponent of such than Trump and his America First Policies.
I am not joking.

Trump is probably one of the few “republicans” who could lose the ’24 election, just as Bob Dull was in ’96 & McLame was in ’12 and the reason he will be the nominee, just as those before him were.

I’m thinking the truthful exposure the real Trump only adds denial to the numbers that may “throw away” the vote his direction.

It’s only a matter of unification between Trump and DeSantis…do you want absolute control for 8 years (maybe), or for 12 years? Or 20 years? A Trump-DeSantis Ticket is unbeatable. Once Trump is done BURNING DOWN D.C., DeSantis can rebuild the Capital.

While President Trump is rebuilding the nation, NO ONE who considers themselves MAGA, gives a damn about what happens to D.C. If the place was swallowed by the planet, we would celebrate. DeSantis can be Trump’s domestic bull dog, dealing the the political animals he’s now used to dealing with in Tallahassee. The process could be Trump-DeSantis-DeSantis/Noem-Noem-Noem = 20 years. Enough to REVERSE all the bullshit we’ve been watching for decades.

The biggest mistake we’d make is to have a war between MAGA candidates. This is EXACTLY what the Leftist Slime who are now in charge, want. Frankly, that could mean a real Civil War, because the Left is going to push us to choose the 2nd Amendment or Slavery.

Good points and exactly why some are saying DeSantis = GOPe, they have carefully maneuvered him forward to split the MAGA crowd up.
We’ll see, DeSantis has been careful not to embrace MAGA like Lake, MGT, and others.
