EXACTLY! DeSantis is a terrible campainger but great executive. He would lose easily to a Newscum. Maybe if he was VP at first and followed up after 8 great years of a Vance/Tulsi/Rubio Presidency he’d be ok I(if he served as the VP).
So would I.
So what...what is your point? He doesn’t like his father’s name?
After Obama and McCain that is NOT an issue at all.
Didn’t the Lord give us this mess though? So that’s not working.
Right now I think it's Vance. But it may be Rubio or Tulsi, and I'm fine with that.
I would prefer that the person is not someone who is favored by the establishment.
Vance was in the Senate for only two years and the Deep State went after Tulsi even though she used to be a Democrat.
Vance, DeSantis, Rubio in no particular order. They all have things that make me leery. Vance is too tied to Silicon Valley tech bros, and is married to an Indian, both of which give me pause on H-1B overload. DeSantis was a poor campaigner, shockingly so, but he was running against Trump and had zero chance. Rubio is great now, but was part of the gang of Senators pushing amnesty. They are all infinitely better than any Democrat, but being weak on immigration culturally harms the country.
But she’ll bring along the blue collar democrats. What is Rubio going to bring? The never Trumpers?
That’s why we don’t want Rubio...the deep state/war party support him.
I think it’s important to keep them MAGA! Which ever one is best at MAGA and selling MAGA should be the lead.
Vance maybe, Rubio no, Tulsi no.
I’m hoping in 3 more years MAGA is the establishment!
Vance of course.
Vance should just hold over the current cabinet - would not have to go through the confirmation fights and could free up the Senate’s calendar to proceed right into continuing confirmations on judges and passing legislation.
And he is experienced in governing in an environment where that are more "elected" democrats than there should be based on vote counts, etc. That will be important unless or until gerrymandering gets under control.
Don’t forget Gabbard ran for president while a democrat congress member against President Trump in 2020. Had she switched parties a couple years before she might be VP right now.
Perhaps Tulsi realized that Xiden IS/WAS the enemy and she wanted no part of it, however seeing this and behavior of the rat party was a little late in the game.
Right...that was ridiculous. Certainly arguable he ruined that campaign with that uncharacteristic major gaffe in that debate but certainly not his “political career” given his significant successes since then.
IMHO, he should remain as SOS (as well as the rest of the cabinet) under Vance then run for Florida Governor - a large and influential state - as the “capstone” of his political career. Of course, that’s just me looking from the outside in. Far be it for us to decide someone else’s life choices.
Ahhh, satan rears his ugly head to get them to stop working together but to destroy. Clever satan, medis.
Don’t recall saying anything nice about the GOPe for decades, but there is one exception - the GOP/GOPe hasn’t elected a president directly from the senate in over a century. I sincerely hope it’s two centuries.
Notice that the dems (voters too) only pick senators, that should tell one something right there.
No Rubio. He’s a neocon and you should never trust a Cuban...especially a Florida Cuban.
Vance maybe but his ties to big tech are troubling. But he’s been pretty good.
Tulsi is the most solid so far. I think it’s because she really experienced the corruption of the Democrats including a team of sky marshals complete with a dog on every flight she was on because she might be a terrorist. She was also directly accused of being a Russian spy.
Well he sure could allow the GOP to say the democrats hates handicapped people. If they’d actually do that to combat the GOP hates black people and gay people line.
