Casey DeSantis starred in a heartwarming campaign ad during the run-up to the Florida governor’s race several weeks ago, and it really was an excellent thing. There's just something to the look in her eyes, and the expression on her face, that seems very genuinely admiring of her husband, Ron DeSantis, as she describes how she knows him as her husband, and the father of their children.
And so I say that having a better, healthier example of marriage, and a young family, in the White House would do America a whole lot of good, far more than many of us realize.
Many say President Trump is strong on the economy. And they're right. But what, pray tell, is upstream of the economy? Simply put, the resounding answer is both marriage and family.
Along these lines, when Florida Republicans were polled recently, and asked about both DeSantis and Trump, the results weren’t even close. Many more would prefer DeSantis running as the Republican nominee or president in 2024, given what we’ve seen and heard from him thus far.
What really caught my eye in the results, though, was who Florida Republicans believe would be a better moral example, and who our young people would be better served to see in the White House for four years. The answer was DeSantis, and for good reasons.
On the other hand, I watched My Dinner With Trump on DailyWire+ last week, and it was a good look for Trump and the members of his administration who were present. To see how their conversation sounds, and what the back and forth over a dinner goes like - it makes me think it would not be the worst thing to have them back again.
But Andrew Klavan is also right in something he said the day before yesterday. That is, there’s a wager being made on both ends of the American political spectrum, that the Left being driven so crazy by Trump will gin up support and votes.
Most folks want Trump just because he’s so upsetting to people they do, or don’t, like. And this is why the Left not-so-secretly wants Trump to win the nomination. It is precisely because they don’t want him to be President.
More than that, I think the Left wants Trump to be the nominee because they don’t want any Republican to be president, least of all Ron DeSantis.
But Chuck Schumer says we need to grant citizenship to countless millions of illegal immigrants because not enough Americans are having babies. I have a better idea. Let’s go the whole way on repealing Roe v. Wade, and enact a national ban on abortion. Thereafter, let's force the Democrats to stop encouraging kids to become transgendered, or homosexual. And then we'll encourage young people to grow up, get married, and have children of their own instead.
Whether Matt Walsh thinks it's possible - and he doesn't - the United States Supreme Court should overturn Obergefell v. Hodges anyway. It was a bad decision to begin with, and we all ought to want it to go away. The sooner the better.
Anything is possible at this point. After all, how many of us thought Roe v. Wade could be overturned in our lifetime? And yet it was.
Take note that "The Respect for Marriage Act" advanced in the United States Senate with the help of 12 Republicans. Nix that. Prove that you respect marriage by supporting legislation to encourage traditional marriage and the raising of families.
Just so, it would set our country on a better path, and a stronger economy, to have a strong example of marriage and family in the White House. And I think DeSantis would provide that, and then some. That is who Ron DeSantis is, after all.
