He should stay in the primary if Trump is in, keeping the high road to Trump’s shenanigans. Also, he absolutely should turn down any Trump offer to be his running mate. Being Trump’s second will do damage to his brand.
Trump ain’t running.
DeSantis is running a brilliant campaign to exercise state sovereignty over the leftist scum and the criminal fascist gang occupying DC.
I want DeSantis to stay in Florida for another gubernatorial term to hone his skills. Then go to DC as president in 2024 to dice and slice the moronic, weenie deep state.
I don't believe DeSantis will run in the primary against Trump if Trump chooses to run. I'll vote for whichever one of them is running.
The MAGA movement wants President Trump in 2024 and nobody else.
President Trump IS the MAGA movement.
Not only is he the best man for the job, and has proven it over and over again, but his victory in 2024 will be highly symbolic - they badgered him with fake impeachment BS throughout his first term and then literally STOLE his second term.
After what they did to him there is no way to put things right, other than putting him back in the White House. If there was ever anyone who deserved a second term, it is Donald J. Trump.
Besides, serving as VP is pointless, unless you are a politician who lacks name recognition and needs to make a name for himself. By serving as VP, a relatively unknown politician can become a household name, and if he is well-liked and doesn’t screw anything up, he can become the default nominee for his party.
DeSantis is doesn’t need the VP spot to earn name recognition or prove himself. AND, he would be wasted as VP - he is MUCH more valuable to MAGA where he is, as governor of Florida, where he is totally kicking ass.
Then, in 2028, he will sweep the primaries by running as Trump II.
I have no idea who President Trump will pick, but I expect his running mate to be someone well-respected across the board, fiercely loyal to President Trump - but somewhat underwhelming, unexciting and unambitious.
Kind of what we thought of Pence, before we found out he was a spineless traitor.
I’m thinking someone like Ben Carson would be perfect.
