DeSantis Floats Kim Reynolds As Veep to Crowd of Tens.
The National Pulse ^ | July 30, 2023 | JACK MONTGOMERY

Presidential hopeful hopeless Ron DeSantis has continued to tout Iowa’s Governor Kim Reynolds as a possible running mate, to a few tens of not largely unenthused voters in the Hawkeye State.

“You guys think she’d be a good number two?” he asked a small crowd this week, having told reporters he was considering her at another Iowa event just weeks ago.

Officially, Governor Reynolds is claiming neutrality in the GOP race, but she has appeared alongside DeSantis and his wife Jill, a.k.a. Casey, multiple times, praising them to the rafters – a matter that has not been lost on frontrunner Donald Trump.

Pointing out that he “opened up the Governor position” for Reynolds in 2018 and held a number of rallies on her behalf, Trump has said she is no longer welcome at his events.

DeSantis has sought to strengthen the sense that Reynolds is in his camp by criticizing Trump’s “chirping” about her, but their alignment does not appear to be doing anything for him in Iowa, where he is trailing the former president on just 15 percent, with Tim Scott snapping at his heels.

How many conservative careers will DeSantis destroy on this Democrat minefield he walked into.The Democrats had two conservative targets and Ron willingly jumped in with both feet.

I’m sure she will jump at the chance to run with a guy who has -O chance to win. She’d do better just to run against Ron for President. 😆

She’d make an excellent VP.

Trump mostly sits at Mar-A-Lago, Bedminster, Trump Tower. He goes to Pennsylvania and has a rally that draws around 3000 to an arena of 9000. (Nobody in hte back 3 rows or upper levels.) Meanwhile, Gov. DeSantis is out talking to groups of voters every day, often one on one as he works a crowd.

The Trump mystique seems to be fading.

Yes, she’s one of the best governors in America.

But some so-called “conservatives” here would rahter hvae Lindsey Graham becaue he’s “loyal to Trump.”

NEWS FLASH: Nobody is owed the nomination.

Just about all VP nominees say they aren’t goign to run for VP until hte nominee asks them to run for VP, at which point they run for VP.

I haven’t seen that one.

Usually they just are aghast that Lindsey is on with Trump….in denial that they have a relationship. And of course it’s not Trump’s fault.

I find it strange that Trump and his supporters, he being so far ahead, that he/they feel it necessary to attack any real conservative that stick their head up and doesn’t kiss his behind. Does it say something about his character and his supporters’?

Wow!

Is that what you call it when hardly anyone shows up for your candidate's pre-published events?!?!:

Nice attempt at reverse psychology there (ie. Prove how confident you are by not responding to criticism). But no thanks. We’re not falling for it. When somebody attacks you, you hit back, and when someone says something about the candidate we’re supporting, we respond. Period. It’s real simple. And Trump may be way ahead, but if he just stopped responding to critics, and his supporters just stopped defending him, he wouldn’t be for long.
