DeSantis, Proving He Is a Desperate Loser, Battles With Nikki Haley

With every turn in this far too early 2024 campaign season, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis reveals his lack of basic intelligence and a lack of political acumen.

No One to Offer the People of America

Let me make one thing completely clear, I do not believe, I know, that there is not a single person qualified to lead my country from the right side of the aisle. Donald Trump, Ron DeSantis, and Nikki Haley have all proven themselves to be liars and hypocrites, who have no interest in serving our nation’s people. Each has their own personal agenda.

Trump wants to remain a free man. DeSantis is a fascist who is desirous of power. Haley is ambitious, and surely an opportunist. She is fully aware that after the Trump debacle, and events which occurred after Trump’s controversial victory in the Electoral College, many Americans are beginning to accept the ideas of a female president as early as 2024.

More Than Ever America Needs a Great Leader

It is a fact that in 2024 it is paramount that we elect a leader who will move us bravely forward into the 21st century. We can no longer accept a lesser man or woman whose qualifications are limited, or in the case of Trump non-existent. We desperately need a woman who will change the direction our nation has followed for 247 years. A leader who places the people of our country first is mandatory. With two exceptions, old, white men have failed our nation.

Gretchen Whitmer in 2024?

I have my own dream for America. I follow politics as closely as any man or woman. And, I have the perfect candidate for the office of President of the United States in 2024. She is Gretchen Whitmer, the current Governor of Michigan.

Governor Whitmer was reelected in 2022, and claims that she has no interest in leaving Michigan before the end of her four-year term. However, there is always the chance that Democratic leaders will convince her that she is needed in 2024 if our country is to survive.

Some of you may believe that I have discounted Vice-President Kamala Harris. This is far from the truth. In 2020, Ms. Harris was my choice for the Democratic nomination, and continues to receive my admiration and respect.

No One Trusts Anyone in Washington and For Good Reason

However, a Washington outsider would likely be appealing to a larger number of voters. I am one of millions of Americans who believe that our government continues to fail us on both sides of the aisle. Our federal government is completely and irreparably dysfunctional in its current state. Right-wing extremists are intentionally obstructing every positive effort on Capitol Hill. Real change is a must.

Afraid of Nikki Haley

I was reading an article about DeSantis when he attacked the former Governor of South Carolina. A little later, I saw his first campaign ad on television. The theme of the ad was that the worst Governor in Florida’s history “will never back down.” This is very humorous because his refusal to end his battle with Disney may become his demise.

DeSantis is upset because Ms. Haley jumped in on his battles with the most famous mouse in the world.

“Hey @Disney, my home state will happily accept your 70,000+ jobs if you want to leave Florida,” Haley tweeted. “We’ve got great weather, great people, and it’s always a great day in South Carolina!”

The way I see it, a DeSantis candidacy in 2024 is as ludicrous as when Trump ran in 2016 and 2020. In 2016 the election was rigged in Trump’s favor by Vladimir Putin. In 2020 he was crushed after an historic turnout. Voters cast their ballots against Trump as frequently as they did for President Biden.
