The ‘DeSantis Is Trump Without the Baggage’ Crowd is in for a Rude Awakening

As the Republican Party looks to the future, many are touting Florida Governor Ron DeSantis as the man to lead the party into the post-Trump era. The idea is that DeSantis is Trump without the baggage. He is a younger, more polished version of the former President, and his supporters believe he can lead the party to victory without the controversies that plagued the Trump White House. However, this crowd may be in for a rude awakening.

DeSantis is not Trump without the baggage; he is Trump with a different set of baggage. The Florida Governor has been criticized for his handling of the coronavirus pandemic, with some accusing him of putting politics ahead of public health. He has also come under fire for his cozy relationship with Big Sugar and his support of gun rights. These issues are not going away and will be a major part of the conversation in the coming years.

The reality is that DeSantis is not the savior of the Republican Party. He is a politician with his own set of issues and challenges that he will need to address if he wants to lead the party into the future.

Nevertheless, the Trump White House administration achieved a great deal for the Republican Party. During his tenure, President Trump cut taxes, reduced regulations, appointed conservative judges, and withdrew from the Paris Climate Agreement. He also negotiated trade deals with China, Canada and Mexico. He also supported the pro-life movement and took steps to protect religious freedom. The Trump White House was a major success for the Republican Party and its legacy will live on for years to come.
