willing to compete with Donald Trump, the only declared candidate.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The standout best is the Generation X governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis, who has shown what can be achieved in a short

href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2023\/01\/28\/ron-desantis-advisers-preparing-for-2024-presidential-run\/\">DeSantis, 44, is coy about his ambitions, <\/a>he has a book out at the end of the month which is a blatant campaign starter: \u201cThe Courage to Be Free: Florida\u2019s Blueprint for America\u2019s Revival.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The blurb describes it as \u201ca winning blueprint for patriots across the country.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A working-class Catholic, born and raised in Florida, DeSantis graduated with honors from Yale and Harvard Law School, served as an officer in the US Navy and as adviser to a SEAL commander in Iraq, earning a Bronze Star.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Fleshing out this central-casting r\u00e9sum\u00e9 are his admirable wife and three cute kids. Casey DeSantis is a beautiful Emmy Award-winning former TV host whose praise for her husband\u2019s support through her battle with breast cancer was a <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/11\/09\/florida-gov-ron-desantis-not-so-secret-political-weapon-is-his-wife-casey\/\">secret weapon in his 2022 campaign.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>In a disappointing midterm landscape, DeSantis\u2019 thumping victory in Florida was a shining light. He won by 1.5 million votes, nearly 20% of the vote margin, the highest of any Republican governor candidate in the history of Florida, now the nation\u2019s fastest growing state.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Ron chooses optimism\u00a0<\/h2>\n<p>As he told a group of influential conservatives in Miami on Saturday night, it wasn\u2019t so pretty in his first gubernatorial election in 2018, when he scraped in by half a percentage point, or about 32,000 votes. He was advised then to govern timidly, to \u201ctrim your sails a little bit.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/NYPICHPDPICT000006341469.jpg\"><button class=\"button button--modal-trigger\" aria-label=\"Open the image in a modal.\" data-modal-image=\"25737229\"><\/p>\n<p><\/button><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" data-modal-image=\"25737229\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/NYPICHPDPICT000006341469.jpg?w=1000\" alt=\"DeSantis noted that Florida has one of the \" lowest per capita tax burdens \/><\/a><figcaption>DeSantis noted that Florida has one of the \u201clowest per capita tax burdens\u201d in the country.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Doug Engle\/Ocala Star-Banner via AP<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>But DeSantis\u2019 view was: \u201cI may have gotten 50% of the vote [in 2018], but I earned 100% of the executive power and I intend to use it . . . I had an agenda that I had pledged I would pursue, but I also . . . knew successfully implementing that agenda would leave me much higher than 50% in the future.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>And, boy, did he prove that, by doing what he thought was right, even if it bucked public opinion, the electoral dividends would come.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He even won a majority of single women in November, he says, despite tens of millions of dollars spent attacking him over abortion.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019ve got to have the courage of your convictions to stand up when it\u2019s not easy. Because when you\u2019re going after the sacred cows of the left, they don\u2019t just take that lying down, they come after you\u2026 You\u2019ve got to be willing to stand strong.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Today, \u201cWe have one of the lowest per capita tax burdens of any state in these United States [and] the largest budget surplus in the history of the state . . .

Florida\u2019s performance through the pandemic was second to none, despite its large elderly population.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe made the decision, we are going to defy the experts, we are not going to allow the state of Florida to descend into some type of Faucian dystopia,\u201d DeSantis said. \u201cNow, this was something that was not necessarily the smart thing to do politically because if you go back to April, May, June 2020, there was mass hysteria . . . I thought maybe it would end up being bad for me. [But now] people revel in the fact that . . . we weren\u2019t listening to people who ended up being wrong.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Swoon over Miami\u00a0<\/h2>\n<p>The Miami crowd gave DeSantis four standing ovations.
