He fights. And unlike some others who fight, he wins.
His fights aren’t carried out through rhetoric: he strikes the Left where it hurts them most.
The Left has been winning battles based upon a brilliant strategy they adopted in the 60s and 70s. Once it became clear that the strategy of protest was doomed to fail, Leftists adopted what German socialist Rudi Dutschke called “the long march through the institutions,” explicitly referring to Mao’s famous Long March that ended with the victory of the communists in China.

DeSantis can fight all he wants. It's Trump this turn. The Deep State must be in panic.

" he fights". Oh ok Dave. Everything this guy stated about the Gov. could be written in spades about President Trump. The difference and it is a big difference President Trump has already done it all...without the Club For Growth or the dark Bush crony millions.

Oh, you mean Jeb DeSantis?
If he doesn't publicly stand against the Trump arrest/prosecution/two-tiered justice, he will finally reveal himself to be what he is: bought and paid for.

Since Trump lives in FLA, NY must request an extradiction from DeSantis.
If he signs one, his national political future ends.

I have been the conscientious, dutiful voter for over 50 years. I didn't realize until the stolen election that I was merely jumping through the hoops and running on the hamster wheel set up by the deep state.
I'm not doing that any more. DeSantis is NOT his own man. He talks a good game, and at the governor level he's OK But all the bills come due at the presidential level and we're just gonna get screwed again.
No Trump, no vote. I'm DONE with their game.

I continue to beat my head against the wall that people are acting like elections are as "normal". Run Trump----when they steal it AGAIN, then our side hasn't lost a rising star and FL hasn't lost an excellent Governor. Fix the system or all this is pointless.

#4 Trump can always wave extradiction.
I like DeSantis too and for people here to inply he's a RINO in the mold of the Bush's is ridiculous.

Any politician running for power and relying on the largesse of contributors is, by definition, a prostitute. The bigger the bribe, the higher the place in the "pecking" order.

FTA: “ I do take heart in the fact that DeSantis at least fully understands the task in a way that Trump didn’t. Trump knew he faced an enemy, but he never seem to grasp just how pervasive their power is. They own most of the institutions, and he fought them piecemeal as they attacked him. He was a counterpuncher.”
Quite true. Obviously very few people, including Trump, knew in 2016 how terrified “the swamp” was by Trump’s victory. Before he took office the deep state termites were frantically destroying his administration’s foundation.
DeSantis learned from this and is going on offense. He is racking up wins while Trump, to the great detriment for our country, was stuck in defensive mode. The swamp defeated him. As of yet DeSantis is beating it.

#2, I agree with you and if you believe DeSantis’s donors aren’t doing this for their own agenda and benefit, you are naive. Club for Growth, Chamber of Commerce, the Bushes, Cheney’s, Romney’s, and the rest of that crowd are determined to destroy Trump because he is not like them! He puts the country first, abhors unnecessary wars for profit, and believes the Constitution is correct when it declares the government is of, by and for the people, and believes in protecting our sovereignty. DeSantis’s cabal is a big reason that our country is such danger. They love the status quo even if it is corrupt and lawless. It meets their needs quite nicely.
Didn’t your mom ever tell you that you will be judged by the company you keep? Ronnie is cozying up to the wrong crowd.
