 So at this point in time Donald Trump is the only declared presidential candidate on the Republican side and He's already threatened to buy a number of individuals when polls show He really shouldn't be but still he is preemptively taking shots at potential candidates Namely Rhonda Santis or as he would call him Rhonda sanctimonious, which is a terrible name But nonetheless in an interview with AP he said this about DeSantis quote if he runs, that's fine I'm way up in the polls Trump said he's going to have to do what he wants to do But he may run I do think it would be a great act of disloyalty because you know I got him in he had no chance His political life was over. He also attacked DeSantis for trying to rewrite history with respect to his COVID-19 policies and claims that Florida contrary to popular belief Was actually closed for a long period of time towards the beginning of the pandemic So he's trying to delegitimize Rhonda Santis little by little. He's planting these seeds and It does seem to be working because this boost that DeSantis had after Trump was wounded Following the election. It kind of seems like it's over. It seems like Trump has rebounded Now Rhonda Santis is going to have to make a decision Is he going to allow these attacks to continue or is he going to respond at some point? He's got to respond if he wants to run because he's got a kind of safe face and he did respond So he was asked about these attacks during a news conference and here's what he said when you're an elected executive You have to make all kinds of decisions You got to steer that ship and the good thing is is that the people are able to render a judgment on that Whether they reelect you were not DeSantis said and I'm happy to say you know in my case not only did we win Re-election we won with the highest percentage of the vote that any Republican governor candidate has in the history of the state of Florida He added we won by the largest raw vote margin over 1.5 million votes than any governor candidate has ever had in Florida history Yeah, so honestly the more that Rhonda Santis speaks The less convinced I become that he actually is capable of defeating Donald Trump in a GOP primary because I Want that to happen. I want DeSantis to beat Donald Trump not because I prefer DeSantis over Trump. In fact, I think that DeSantis is far more dangerous than Donald Trump But I want to see Trump run as a third-party candidate in the event He does lose to run DeSantis in a GOP primary But DeSantis is making my dream of seeing that less likely because he's just not equipped To beat Donald Trump I mean sure you can say that he's done a number of things to kind of set himself apart from Donald Trump Namely, he outflanked Trump from the right with regard to COVID-19 vaccines and he's very anti-vax He wants you to know that but aside from that how else has he differentiated himself from Donald Trump and The answer is he really hasn't even in his response to Trump He's bragging about his numbers in a very Trumpian fashion But I don't think he realizes you're not going to out trump Donald Trump But he thinks that he can be I guess the heir to Trump's throne and out Trump Trump It's just not gonna go Well, if that is indeed his strategy and he really needs to set himself apart But thus far he's failed to do that now he is trying to I guess Appear as a sort of mini-trump and I say that because when you look at the mannerisms he is just directly trying to emulate Donald Trump and It's so pathetic, but look at this video put together by the recount It's evident that he really wants people to think of a certain politician when he speaks Anybody here would do it Judges are a priority and honestly, we have businesses that have been locked down in lives destroyed for over a year, but to say no COVID vaccine passports made in China shipped here Why would we want so many important things can we take to us be at the whim of China uncanny now? I hate Trump's nickname of Ron to sanctimonious for him But I've got to say that in his response to Donald Trump He was pretty sanctimonious. Oh well I simply just can't fixate on these attacks from my opponents because I'm busy steering the ship I'm the captain of this ship and Floridians rely on me to be a good governor, bro. You're not a good governor. You're a terrible governor What have you done to actually better the lives of people in Florida? He has been the country's biggest culture warrior and he's been effective in that regard But you're not actually doing a good job at looking out for the people of Florida And I say this because people are literally dying in Florida because of his policy decisions So take a look at this graph here 2.6 million Floridians do not have health insurance That's 12% of the state's total population and that's higher than the national average of 8.6 Which is still bad, but 12% is far worse In fact, Florida is ranked 46 out of 50 when it comes to uninsured citizens So why is it so bad in Florida? What can he do? Well? Unilaterally he can improve the lives of millions of Floridians by doing one thing But he refuses to do it the simple straightforward reason so many Floridians have no health insurance is that it's elected officials won't sign on to the Affordable Care Act Medicaid expansion which offers states extra federal matching funds if they make the program available to everybody with incomes Below or just above the poverty line. Most states have now done just that It's the single biggest reason that the uninsured rate nationwide is at a record low But 11 states have held out leaving in place the much more limited eligibility standards They had established before the Affordable Care Act took effect Florida is one of them childless adults in the Sunshine State can't get Medicaid Unless they fall into a special eligibility category like having a disability and even adults with kids have a hard time getting onto the Program because the standard income guidelines are so low about 30 percent of the poverty line Which last year worked out to less than $7,000 for a family of three That's not enough to cover rent food and other essentials let alone by a health insurance policy and again Rhonda Santis can change this like that all he has to do is put partisanship aside and Expand Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act, but he refuses to do that So while he continues to try to build up his national name recognition while he hyper fixates on Supposed to woke policies and education in Florida Floridians are literally dying so he has the audacity to Postures if he cares about the people of Florida and he just can't fixate on these attacks from Donald Trump because he's busy as the captain Steering the ship no mother for you're not fixating on anything, but yourself You're unserious. You're a clown now Donald Trump is a clown, too But Rhonda Santis is actually trying to position himself as a more serious alternative to Donald Trump And in some ways I think that he probably is going to be more effective than Donald Trump in the event He were to get into the White House But still everything that we see with regard to his politics has been political theater But yet he wants you to look away at all of these culture war things that he's done Sure, you may be winning the culture war But that comes at the expense of The lives of people in your state who you refuse to help all because you're a partisan hack So that's who Rhonda Santis is in this fight between him and Donald Trump Unfortunately, I'm backing the lesser of two evils in this instance, which is Donald Trump now again I hope that the Santis defeats Donald Trump in the GOP primary that seems unlikely, but I just want to see Donald Trump Burn the whole ship down with him if he runs as a third-party candidate, but it just seems like He's not doing enough to differentiate himself from Donald Trump He's just copying Donald Trump and failing to do that And as a result, he's just gonna go down in flames, but we'll just have to wait and see either way I can't think can stand Rhonda Santis and I think that that's pretty evident based on what I've said about him He's just so insufferable so wine. He's so smarmy and He just he doesn't have that Authentic anti-establishment appeal that Donald Trump has he's not an outsider DeSantis wants to have this facade that he's an outsider, but in actuality. He's one of the biggest insiders in the game Tremendous many people are saying this join today folks you won't regret it
