Republican billionaires are lining up to back Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, and with good reason. He's younger, fresher and more exciting than the aging, raging gorilla Donald Trump has become, writes Piers Morgan.
Donald Trump is a whiny has-been - the Republicans need to run with Ron DeSantis if they want to win in 2024
The once omnipotent GOP beast bestriding the American political world like a paw-crunching King Kong is now seeing his stranglehold over the party ebb away faster than the infamous gorilla tumbled to his demise from the Empire State Building after being shot by US Navy jets. ‘He was bright… very, very attentive,’ Dee Centinaro, DeSantis’ first-grade teacher, told the Miami Herald. ‘I knew he would do his work, I knew he would pay attention, and I knew I could trust him.’He was captain of Yale’s baseball team and had the best batting average . ‘He’s a great captain,’ teammate Kyle Cousin said of DeSantis at the time. ‘He helps everybody out. He is a true leader on and off the field.
Ronald Henry, who was DeSantis’ direct supervisor, described him as an ‘aggressive prosecutor who didn’t go light.’ The two men have publicly supported each other for years, but I confidently predict this mutual admiration society is about to hit the buffers big time.
