lol.

I love DeSantis as my governor and he’d be an amazing president, but he just SUCKS at campaigning... so bad.

He needs another 4 years in the minors. Just not ready and the math says he *cannot beat Trump.

The problem is that Trump can't beat Biden, but apparently the MAGA base doesn't care about winning. I have yet to hear any strategy on how Trump plans to win swing states, and I wish he would stop flat-out lying about Desantis's record. It's so insulting.

If DeSantis keeps it up, he will be soon labeled as a corrupt RINO idiot. It may be a plan to expose the RINO's/DEEP STATE players but I'm NOT amused.

I voted for DeSantis as governor, but he is now suspect by me as a potential sellout. I would never vote for DeSantis against President Trump.

I get the impression that he’s being pushed very hard (by the NeverTrumper bunch), and would rather not try moving up the political ladder this fast. After all, he’s 44 years old. I base this on his first campaign, where one account that I read said he wasn’t even up to speed on state issues - not a good look for someone running for governor. And then Trump needed to drag him over the finish line. And even with that, he barely won, very barely.

In this year, his flip on Ukraine showed me, at least, that he hadn’t given it much thought and would rather not have to worry about it - so he called it a ‘territorial dispute’. And while that’s the correct position, he obviously didn’t get clearance to state that, was unable to make his case to his handlers, so had to flip. In the case of the Trump indictment, it was a long statement and almost certainly written by others, at least some of who are rabid NeverTrumpers (no offense at DeSantis, as it’s not his job to know the details of that crap), so they (the handlers) simply could not control getting a jab in at Trump...and so they did, and so it backfired.

Best option now is to make up with Trump and look for either a VP slot or staying in Florida, as either is FAR BETTER than simply losing, either in the Primary or in the General Election (when many of the Trump voters simply don’t pull the lever for him).
