What is the effective price of one of those drinks?
Are they serving Kool-Aid?
“”kakistocracy” - a society governed by its least suitable or competent citizens”
Idiocracy is not just a Movie....
He is only undeclared.
He can’t come out and say he’s running.
He’s running.

Thomas Massie, liberaltarian that hates Trump
Utah Sen. Mike Lee, the original NeverTrumper
Adam Laxalt, a longtime DeSantis friend.
Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton, talks a good game but usually sides with the establishment Republicans
Nothing surprising here.
Wow, I didn't know Trump ran for Senate in 2022. That #MSM felcher and anti-Trumper, anti-conservative Isenscheisse is a genius writer, isn't he, droop? He mangles grammar and syntax exactly like you!
Politico is leftist dribble.
Nothing has changed. President Trump is still the most popular candidate. Period.
Exactly. It’s stories like this that piss off even more people.
Not one of those mentioned were any that drove hours and waited hours to see Pres Trump speak
The writer acts as if the voters in the states whose reps attended, are going to blindly vote for they’re told to vote for.
Cotton tells Arkansas to dutifully vote for DeSantis. Not buying that one.
Time will tell. If/when DeSantis announces, his rallies will demonstrate where he stands with the people that matter.
If he starts filling stadiums and arenas with 1000s watching outside, we’ll know. Until then let all these people expose themselves for the RINOs they all really are.
They used to be Trump's donors.
You must be a special kind of stupid.
Jim Lamon ran for senate, losing the primary race to Blake Masters.
XD XD
Ron DeSantis is considering the Presidency in his future.
The question here is “When?” Getting into a very expensive and divisive fight with Donald Trump at this juncture only divides the Trump base, to no lasting benefit to either DeSantis or Trump.
So far, Trump has not stumbled or given himself any lasting wounds, and there is high probability that he shall maintain this margin right through the primary season, resulting in his coronation, er, nomination for the office of the President of the United States on the Republican ticket.
But if, and this is a very big “if”, Trump meets some heavy headwinds directed at his age and reflecting some very damaging opposition research, enough to tarnish the Trump brand, then DeSantis is a potential “Plan B”. Such a bid would come quite late in the primary cycle, with perhaps limited probability of success.
But beyond that, DeSantis is almost perfectly placed to be virtually assured front-runner for the 2028 campaign. As I have noted previously, DeSantis has a state to run for the next two years, and Florida needs him to consolidate and firm up the Republican gains made in his service as Governor up to now.
Damn near no one has an oath to 270. For crying out loud.
Don’t say you’re looking for someone else when all you do is blather about DeSantis.
DeSantis, admittedly, has done some really good things down there. And he has momentum.
My question to you, Drew68: how successful would he be if, even half the state legislature and county governments were Democrats? And that’s on the light side.
Given that Pres Trump had the ENTIRE federal monster and damn near ALL of Congress working against him at every turn.
Oh wait….DeSantis will sprinkle his Magic Dust and all will be well, right?
Think of the math, for a moment. He won by 400k votes, after 883,000 Republicans moved. If all those folks had not taken their police and fire pensions to Florida he probably isn’t the Governor. But wait, they moved to Florida because of him.
They moved to Florida because of covid nonsense, some of which he pushed as well, and no state income tax, better weather, lower tax burden and jobs. All the latter was happening already and had been happening for decades.
I recall Trump bashing Massie when Massie didn't support him on the Covid Cash handouts in 2020.
If Trump begins doing similar small group encounters this time, instead of rallies, he’ll be unbeatable.
At least as unbeatable as a candidate can be in an election where the outcome is rigged against him.
That was my take from the Politico headline too.
But no.
