Steve Deace makes the case for Florida Governor Ron DeSantis for President.
He did not hold back his preference for the Florida governor for the last few months. But this time, he went all out and endorsed his candidacy.
He gives a compelling set of explanations below.
Thank you, @SteveDeaceShow. @RonDeSantis is honored to have your endorsement!

What I find really helpful is that Deace calls out Trump for going after Christie, yet also pointing out that it was Trump who revived Christie’s political career by reaching out to him for advice on whom to appoint to head the FBI. You can’t bash the guy on one hand, then hide the fact that you had reached out to him for help staffing the executive departments in Washington DC. That is all wrong.
And fundamentally, that is one of the biggest problems with Trump. He is easy to flatter, and enemies of his agenda get into the wings of power and undermine his agenda just by flattering him. And Trump has not learned from these mistakes.
I have had enough of this.
I also liked that Deace pointed out how we need someone to DO the MAGA, not just market or message the MAGA. That’s a big deal. That’s a huge problem on the Trump side. It has been all talk, no walk, no accomplishment, and he did not lead the GOP into restored victory in 2022. He has sided with the Swamp more, not less, since he left the White House, and most of the candidates he endorsed in 2022 were going to win anyway, since it was a conservative field, or they lost.
DeSantis has accomplished immense policy victories over and over. When Deace shared that DeSantis should go after Disney’s government perks and set-asides in the state, then DeSantis actually did it, I felt that Deace was reading my mind, too.
DeSantis is creative and effective with government power. We need that kind of thinking in Washington DC, and we need that kind of bold resolve, as well.
