DeSantis is doing everything that a man who plans on running for president would be doing.
Make no mistake, he's running.
It's his moment and history has been very unkind to those who wimp out when it's their moment.
DeSantis has allowed the rino establishment to ruin his brand. Maybe that was their true intent. He’s not too bright. When Paul Ryan is backing you, your MAGA street creds go right out the window. Taking on Trump will likely destroy his political future. It’s sad but it drives home the fact that there is only one true MAGA candidate, Donald J. Trump.
I am not a fan of Paul Ryan or Ken Griffin, at all, but recognize that they are simply supporting the most viable alternative to Trump based on their opposition to Trump.
DeSantis really has no option but to run. He’ll not be a governor in 2028, so no media access. Repubs own the senate seats for Florida and it’s not good form to kick a senator of your own party out of a job.
POTUS is an open seat this year, so he pretty much has to run unless Trump backchannels a promise of a VP pick.
DeSantis is at his most popular, most important, and most likely to be funded. He really has no choice. And if Trump were to falter for whatever reason, he figures he’d better be there.
Trump generally picks really lousy people, but DeSantis is a must do or DJT’s an idiot.
That money comes with strings. Everybody knows that. We all saw them steal the election from Trump in 2020 and what does DeSantis do? He falls in with some of the very people that were behind that steal. It’s just unforgivable.
If DeSantis is gone from Florida, who would take his place and would/could that person hold it's integrity for the GOP?
I don't particularly care for Linda Graham, but he DID just say there IS NO Trump policy without Trump, and that any other candidate has (so far) NOT offered any policies different than Trump.
Trump is the only natural choice this time.
Trump has no path to the White House in 2024. He loses every state he lost in 2020 in addition to NC. And worse, he takes the GOP House down with him and leaves the Senate in Democrat hands.
Trump's time has passed. DeSantis' time is now. He'll never have higher stock than he enjoys at this moment. If he sits out '24, he'll be Nikki Haley in '28. A has-been.
If you want a Democrat President, House, and Senate elected in 2024 then keep supporting Trump for the GOP nomination because this is exactly what you'll get.
desantis hasn’t announced he’s running for president...
you’re prematurely ejaculating...
And DeSantis has built a powerful Republican Party in Florida. The state is now solid red. It’ll be in fine hands if he’s promoted to the White House.
NO ONE is talking seriously about the wall . . . except Trump and no one is talking seriously about closing the borders except Trump.
If for no other reason, Trump needs to finish the wall and continue to threaten the other world leaders.
Trump is not one of their playahs and THAT sir should be sufficient for the anxious patriot of today.
The fascist momentum stopped while Trump was in office and was put back into play with the collective disfunctional idiots we have now.
Ok, what states does Trump flip in 2024?
Everyone wants to talk about Trump returning to the White House to finish what he started. Nobody wants to talk about how he plans on doing this, an important subject in light of 2022's total rejection of Trump's handpicked candidates in the crucial battleground states that he won in '16 but then lost in '20.
NO ONE is talking seriously about the wall . . . except Trump and no one is talking seriously about closing the borders except Trump.
You don't think DeSantis will tackle illegal immigration?
It's time to find an alterantive to Trump, one who can get elected in 2024 because Trump, quite simply, cannot.
IF it is true Trump is done . . . NO ONE can pick up where he left off, meaning; Whether DeSantos or another, they'll have to go through a learning curve and all time used to get up to speed is wasted time.
Trump ain't a playah, and we NEED that kind of man
Desantos is a good governor and I personally believe he and Trump are playing a media game on y'all.
