Who is Ron DeSantis?


At the outset, it must be said that we, here at Reality Is Truth, will wholeheartedly support whomever the Republican nominee is, as long as they are chosen from the current crop of candidates. With Donald J. Trump currently 52 points ahead of all the other Republican candidates, we fully understand that the debate over who will be the Republican nominee is more or less moot. However, due to the current state of affairs in American politics, Trump's age, and his legal vulnerabilities, things could change rapidly. Even though, from an editorial standpoint, Trump would not be our Plan A, we are absolutely convinced there must be a Plan B.

Our decision was made using an elimination process based on the following criteria:

  • The candidate must have the courage of their convictions and not shy away from a fight for political reasons. (This eliminates Nikki Haley)
  • The candidate must be electable and have a broader appeal than legacy Republicans yet still attract independent voters who lean conservative. (This eliminates Chris Christie)
  • The candidate must have proven success as an elected executive in a multi-party legislative environment and have shown clear legislative achievements. (This eliminates Vivek Ramaswamy)
  • The candidate must have the ability to hold the office of President for 8 consecutive years. (This eliminates Donald J Trump)

We are including another data point for you to fully understand who Ron DeSantis is and if he is a good choice as a Plan B candidate. This interview with Jordan Peterson is unlike any presidential candidate interview you'll ever see. We encourage you to listen to the entire interview to help you know who Ron DeSantis really is. He believes he is the best candidate because he (paraphrasing):  "...knows the difference between promising things that you know will never get done and working towards things that are absolutely possible and can be done...".

There was a lot of discussion online today about last night's Republican presidential debate.

There is a lot of discussion online today about last night's Republican presidential debate. Who won or who lost? Is Nikki Haley or Ron DeSantis the best choice if something were to happen to Donald Trump's bid for the nomination?  What about Vivek Ramaswamy? Why is Chris Christie even on the stage? The Real Clear Politics national poll averages show Donald Trump at 61%, DeSantos at 13.5%, Haley at 10.3%, and Ramaswamy at 4.9%. Chris Christie is not even registering on the national average. This means Trump is leading DeSantis by 47.5% for the nomination.  We are including a few links to some pretty good articles and videos examining last night’s debate in order to give you an opportunity to make your own decision.  We highly recommend the first link from Matt Vespa over at Townhall. If you have some time on your hands Larry O'Conner always does a great job in his Podcast. You may have picked up on the fact that we at Reality Is Truth have pointed to Ron DeSantis as the can

Admit it or not, we have to face the fact, we are in a literal war with China.

Years ago, we were given a gift of two ATVs that were made in China. On the surface, it seemed like quite an amazing gift. Unfortunately, in a matter of months, we realized that you kind of get what you pay for. Now, 10 years later, Chinese ATVs still leave something to be desired, yet they sell big. For the consumer, they’re cheap, in many cases, 1/3 the price of more reputable and well-known brands. For the Chinese companies that sell them, they’re cheap to manufacture and cheap to sell. But the fact still remains: tens of thousands of people make the decision to buy Chinese, and the net effect is that when it comes to ATVs, in many respects, the Chinese are eating the big brands' lunches. When you started reading this post, you might have thought it was going to be about a literal war with China. Well, the reality is that we are at war with China, and over the last 3 years, we have suffered millions of casualties, including over 100,000 dead in 2023 alone. What are we talking ab
