Desantis give me the political philosophy with which I align, but he brings none of the baggage brought by other candidates. He's young, served in the military, is a devoted husband/father, and has turned a purple State bright red. I truly hope he runs.

Trump is human carbon steel quenched and tempered.

Desantis is a pin cushion.

Okay, cool. Go DeSantis! Are we doing away with mail-in voting en masse? Otherwise, he cannot win.

He’s establishment’s choice. And, he wouldn’t be if he wasn’t in bed with the Chamber of Commerce and neocons.

People do not get it

We are fighting a deep state that has no intention of surrendering

If DeSantis is Legit the same forces that fought Trump would be destroying DeSantis..

Trump fought

DeSantis will play ball because why are they promotion him as the Trump alternative?

Trump has all the right enemies..DeSantis doesn’t

Trump proved himself, BIG TIME.

The baggage associated with him,was brought by the insane democrats who could not stand that Trump did exactly what he said and Made America Great Again.

DeSantis is my second choice, but as long as Trump is alive and running, Trump is 100% my choice.

I agree that Governor DeSantis is the best leader we currently have. And if divine providence still considers the USA worthy of protection, he will become our next President.

So all the BS the establishment of both parties pulled to hurt Trump worked with you? It didn’t with me, I want Trump back in more now than ever. If the establishment of both parties is frightened enough of him to do all they have done and continue to do to destroy him and anybody who supports him, he is my guy. The truth is that nobody would even know who Desantis is if Trump hadn’t gotten him elected. GW Bush was also a good Governor, he was also Ivy League educated, a former military officer and a good family man. How did that work out for everyone? Establishment republicans pretty much always suck when they get to DC, even if they are good at the state level.

i’ve been all in for DeSantis since 2021. it’s not complicated. i just think he’s the better man, and the better conservative. but he’ll have to channel the wisdom of the great Ronald Reagan to harness the GOP, and be as selective as Elon Musk on who he brings in. so many stumbling blocks there.

he’s got to beat both the Trump and Establishment wings of the GOP.

however, if God is with him, anything’s possible—as it was with Trump in 2016. Hillary really would have been our death knell. four years Trump gave us a needed respite at least.

Ruh roh.

Here we go again.

Trump aficionados are quick with their input, gotta give them that.

Fine.

I like Trump and what he did during his presidency.

If Trump wins the GOP Nom, I'm on board and will support and vote (early) for the man.

That said, I like other candidates more for the upcoming election.

So do many others.

Of the more than a dozen or so Conservatives in my circle of friends and rels, not one (zero) wants Trump to run again (I know, he already announced) and a few say they will not vote for him even if he is the Nom.

I currently support DeSantis. I'm also looking at Pompeo. (Notice, I have no "bromance" with any candidate. I just want a Conservative who is most likely to win in the general.)

DeSantis and Pompeo both impress me as they both have good communication skills, they are strong but diplomatic (Reaganesque), and they clearly think before they speak or act.

I also think that Veterans make better presidents, as they have a good understanding of what our Military is really for, and what protection of classified information is all about.

And DeSantis and Pompeo are both more likely to criticize a Dem rather than a fellow GOPer. This is a major issue with me and so many GOPers.

If you like Trump, good on ya. He's my third choice at the moment, and the primaries will be interesting and instructive.

I hope so too. I’m not going to vote for somebody’s ego…that would be Trump…but for somebody’s program and his ability to accomplish it.

I think there are other candidates warming up in the wings, so maybe we’ll get some real substance in their pitches.

He wants to raise taxes, expand the welfare state, all because he thinks he knows what’s best

All false.

You align with a "rules based international order", recession of American sovereignty, and foreign wars for the benefit of alien peoples?

What's the name of that philosophy?
