CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY MAY 26, 2023
FLORIDA REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR RON DESANTIS LAUNCHED HIS CAMPAIGN FOR PRESIDENT WEDNESDAY. THE BEGINNING WAS A DISASTER BECAUSE TWITTER SHUTDOWN DUE TO OVERCROWDING. BUT AS THE SONG SAYS, “IT’S NOT WHERE YOU START, IT’S WHERE YOU FINISH.” DESANTIS HAS A RECORD THAT COULD MAKE HIM FINISH WELL IF VOTERS VOTE THEIR HOPES AND NOT THEIR ANGER.
A WALL STREET JOURNAL EDITORIAL SUMS UP DESANTIS’ ACCOMPLISHMENTS: “SON OF MIDDLE-CLASS PARENTS, CAPTAIN OF THE YALE BASEBALL TEAM, HARVARD LAW SCHOOL, NAVY VETERAN INCLUDING A TOUR IN IRAQ, AND A THREE-TERM MEMBER OF CONGRESS.”
“HIS LEGISLATIVE RECORD IS AS IMPRESSIVE AS YOU’LL FIND, INCLUDING NEAR-UNIVERSAL SCHOOL CHOICE, $3.3 BILLION FOR EVERGLADES RESTORATION, TORT AND INSURANCE REFORM, PAYCHECK PROTECTION FOR WORKERS IN PUBLIC UNIONS, TAX CUTS, INSISTING ON FREE SPEECH IN HIGHER EDUCATION AND RESISTING WOKE IDEOLOGY. HIS GREATEST ACHIEVEMENT WAS HIS HANDLING OF THE PANDEMIC ….HE RE-OPENED SCHOOLS AND BUSINESSES WHILE THE REST OF THE COUNTRY WAS LISTENING TO DR. FAUCI.
IT’S A LONG WAY TO THE PRIMARIES AND ELECTION DAY, BUT DESANTIS IS A FORCE. LOOK AT HOW MANY LIBERALS ARE ATTACKING HIM. I’M CAL THOMAS
