“ Yep, I don’t understand why so many of our fellow Freepers, hate DeSantis.”

I don’t hate the man. I do hate what he’s done. Had he played his cards right he could have been VP for four years under Trump and then waltzed to the nomination in ‘28.

Instead he decided to take Trump on completely ignoring the lesson of 2016. Now he will never be anything other than Governor of Florida. Which is too bad.

Trump/DeSantis would have mopped the floor with Biden.

We don’t know what will happen after the 2024 election cycle.

DeSantis could well be in the mix for the 2028 nomination.

Just because you lose out in the primaries doesn’t mean you will never run for president again. ‘

Reagan challenged President Ford in 1976, and failed. Many Republicans were quite critical of Reagan at the time, for having the audacity to challenge an incumbent GOP president. Yet he succeeded four year later.

We don’t know what the political landscape of 2028 will look like. Will we see Trump’s running mate be a strong contender for the nomination? Will a reelected Biden be leading America, and their failures set the stage for a strong GOP election in 2028? We just don’t know.
