Monday News Roundup: At CPAC, DeSantis Emerges as Trump’s Clear Heir Apparent

If this result surprises you, you haven’t been paying attention. – It is no secret that the Republican Party establishment has coalesced behind former Virginia Governor and UN Ambassador Nikki Haley as its’ preferred GOP presidential nominee for 2024. Haley is a consummate creature of the DC Swamp, a RINO at heart who would be very easy for party insiders and funders to manipulate as president. She is basically the female version of Jeb! Bush.

But Amb. Haley will have a very steep hill to climb in order to become the 2024 nominee, if the results of yesterday’s CPAC Straw Poll are any indication. Donald Trump of course came in as the clear front-runner in the poll, but if you assume as I do that he will not be the party’s nominee, given that he will then be as old as Joe Biden is now, there is one clear-cut front runner who Haley would have to find a way to overcome: Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.

Actually it was North Carolina... not Virginia

Actually it was neither North Carolina nor Virginia. It was South Carolina.

Uhhh...former Governor of SC, not VA. Author is a little sloppy...

She has more of a chance to become the VA governor(D) than the President(R).

Can’t see anything that should attract conservatives to Haley. SC should have elected someone better.

No, they can’t both come from FL, or one has to forfeit the FL electoral vote.

I want Trump to run again in 2024 but Ron DeSantis is a real rock star of a candidate and I’d be very happy with him. I really like Kristi Noem and think she would be a great choice for VP.

DeSantis is only 42. He will have many bites at the presidential apple if he so chooses. If I were a Floridian I would not want to share him with the rest of the country just yet, because he is doing a great job in the Sunshine state.

Donald J. Trump in 2024.

I hadn’t thought of that....Trump and DeSantis are citizens of the same state.

Good point!

Trump will be too old at the same as Biden’s age. And he’s not quite the candidate made out to be.

DeSantis.
