Govs. Abbott, DeSantis Compete for GOP Leader Roles

Govs. Greg Abbott, R-Texas, and Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., have been in the news a lot lately, resulting in the impression they could be positioning themselves for national office.

Strong supporters of former President Donald Trump, Abbott and DeSantis have signed state laws supporting conservative and populist stances, and have led their states' reopening following the COVID-19 pandemic.

"I don’t think they are out-Trumping each other," GOP strategist John Feehery said to the Washington Examiner of the two governors. "I think they are racing to align themselves better with the heart and soul of the Republican base, which is emerging post-COVID pissed off at the sharp leftward shift of the Biden administration and desperate to reclaim freedoms that were taken from them by the healthcare bureaucracy.

Both Abbott and De Santis are great governors. They listen to their population and are acting accordingly. They are responding to the anger of the base at the federal government and blue local governments using the pandemic as a pretext to take away our freedom.

 

These governors among others are doing a great job leading the resistance to blue city and state policies as well as to the acts of the O’Biden regime.

 

No flip flopping with either one of them. Either one would make an excellent running mate for Trump in 2024.

 

Nah.

Haley is gonna be the VP Nominee.

With Either Trump or DeSantis.

 

Can we put that down as an official prediction, AJ?

 

They also cooperate.

Florida Gov. DeSantis Sending Police To Deal With Border Crisis In Arizona, Texas

"With your help, we can apprehend more of these perpetrators of state and federal crimes, before they can cause problems in your state..."

Governors that respect and value their Law Enforcement Officers.

Kamala/Joe have destroyed the Trumpian Security System that had the border handled. All Biden and Harris had to do was not screw it up, and take credit for the results.

With two clowns in the WH, Pelosi and Schumer knocking between useless and harmful, the GOP governors are stepping into the breach to maintain the order necessary to preserve our civil society.

 

Great!! 2 more nationally unelectable candidates taking oxygen.....

Keep em coming, GOP!

 

So very "unelectable" unlike that gillum guy Democrats ran in fl. found passed out naked in his hotel room, in his own vomit with a male hooker and meth....

 

Nat-ion-ally.... You could elect a ham sandwich from the GOP in Florida (and did)....

 

How are they going to convince 55% of Republicans who believe Trump is the legitimate POTUS that Biden really won?

 

Also, just to remember how close it was, with your version of Gillum against your current White Knight.... Less than 33K

I doubt Floriduh will be purple anytime soon, but the right D candidate could put all the Junior Fascists out of business there for a cycle or two...

 

It's nice Texas is going to finish building the wall. Go Greg. You the man.

 

LMAO…well, there’s a race to the bottom, eh?
Let’s see which one can stick their head furthest up trump’s ass.
That’s the only litmus test that matters.

 

Will they be queer, disgraceful meth users too?

 

Probably NOT.

Although the Florida Dem Party has a really thin bench, I think they can do better than Andrew Gillum

 

Abbott is half fraud. He catered to the media/pressure for much of 2020. It wasn't until he realized that he was well on his way to being replaced in 2022 that he started acting like a conservative again.

 

As mayor of the Capitol, his City Hall was also under FBI investigation at the time. Do dems think running folks under FBI investigation is a plus?

 

Huh?
I never said that.

Although, now that you mention it, Trump was the subject of several investigations when he ran.

Voters can do what they want, even if a candidate is under investigation.
They are free to vote for that candidate (regardless). Period.

 

Could be... it's Florida....

Even that's gotta look pretty good to those completely ignored under the round heels of DeSantis....

 

Huh? Did I ever say you did? Notice I used a question mark? Was Trump under FBI investigation?

 

Do you think he was?? (with 2 question marks)

 

Yep, those fleeing the stupidity they voted in their blue states can be depended on to do their best to install the same cancers here.

 

Then we need a bit more blue state fleeing and "The Villages" emptying out by natural causes...

 

Nope, enough people in Fl are natives with good sense. Speaking of The Villages, those 40 golf carts for Biden was hilarious. Why do blue staters leave their "utopias" if voting blue is so great?

 

Don't know... I'd sooner retire to an open carry, sanctuary city, leper colony surrounded by a 24x7 lava flow in Hawaii than end up in Florida....

But those former blue state retirees finally paid off in Arizona....
