I’ve been a registered Republican since 1988 when I cast my first vote for George Herbert Walker Bush. Since 1992, I’ve been a Republican volunteer, activist, operative, organizer, strategist and elected official.

I was at my grandson's birthday party this weekend in California and my son's in-laws were there. One of the uncles, I was told, was a big Trump supporter. So naturally I started up a conversation with him and asked him what he thought of Ron DeSantis. He told me he didn't know…
“I’ve never really heard from DeSantis until today,” said one of the veterans who listened to
@RonDeSantis
speak at a VFW in Coronado, CA last night.
“And now I LOVE DeSantis. I really hope he wins.”

Just as Jack Kemp was too good for the Republican Party, Ron DeSantis is too good for the Republican Party. I believe I can say this without even an ounce of doubt, or hesitation, and that is DeSantis is, far and away, the best and most capable conservative politician in America.

Trump voted for Dukakis in 88, Clinton in 92 and 96, Gore in 2000, Kerry in 2004, and maybe, probably Obama in 2008, and again in 2012. Other than 2016 and 2020, Trump hadn't voted for the Republican candidate for president since 1984. Think about that for a minute.
