Voters 'Will Walk Barefoot Over Broken Glass' For Me, Boasts Ron DeSantis

HuffPost


Sounding more and more like a future presidential candidate, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis arrogantly boasted to a group of Republicans that people are willing to “walk barefoot over broken glass” to vote for him because he’s such a superlative leader.

DeSantis — flush from a strong reelection win and midterm victories that swept the state — loudly blew his own horn Saturday night in an appearance before a leadership meeting of the Republican Jewish Coalition in Las Vegas.

He also presented himself and his state as a model for the party — and nation — in what sounded very much like a dry-run of a national campaign speech. “Florida really has a blueprint for success ... we’re all about exercising leadership and delivering results for the people that we represent,” he said.

Repugs never concern themselves with looking at a candidates record or what a candidate stands for, they just see that R after their name and that is good enough for their vote. That is the biggest difference between a democrat and a a repug. Democrats care who their candidates are repugs do not.

Ron clearly believes all he has to do is imitate Trump, and he will duplicate Trump's success.

It's just not gonna work outside of FL.

DeSantis is worse than Trump and a hell of a lot smarter. He will absolutely change the face of democracy if he's ever elected president.
