All moot if you believe the election was stolen.
Trump is also too old. DeSantis is very Trump-like, slays the press effectively and has remained loyal to the Big Man.
Release the BRACKEN!.............. Just let him go................
Anyone who is perceived as the present GOP front-runner for 2024 will wear a target for every possible attack that can be generated by the Left and its toadies in the media. Since Trump has nothing to lose, it is better that he wear the target for now—if he chooses to run he will survive the attacks, and if he chooses not to run he will be shielding the eventual nominee for the next few years.
Let’s get Trump in 2024 and then DeSantis after. Let Trump get the nation back up and running with the economy and then put DeSantis in for 8 years to carry on. And I live in Florida and want to keep him for a while longer.
I don't know how DeSantis would be able to identify Deep State traitors any better than Trump. I'm all for DeSantis running. But it's too early. Let Trump talk policy and motivate conservatives for the next two years first. Throw DeSantis in now and he'll be old news by 2024.
Several years ago I moved Matt Bracken from the “definite patriot” column to the “maybe” column.
I totally agree.
Those who think Trump minus the Republican Party plus the MAGA Party will win in 2024 are fooling themselves.
Trump’s role from here on out will be as king-maker. All GOP plans, directives and candidates will be endorsed by him.
Or they will fail.
4 years is a long time. DeSantis is fine, I have no reason to abandon Trump.
If you think they aren’t going to vilify DeSantis just as bad as Trump....
Little early to say that. If the other side can just cheat, it doesn’t really matter. Let’s see what the near future holds. I think that the swearing in of President Harris is going to go over like a fart in church. We could have Desantis, Noem, Don Jr., Eric, others, or the next leader could be someone who isn’t really even on the radar yet. Whoever it is might have to wait until 2028 or be second fiddle in 2024.
Why shouldn't DeSantis stand aside and back Trump?
DeSantis as I understand it is not actually pro-Trump. He’s competent and done well but he’s connected to anti-Trump forces in Florida from an insider I hear.
Why Matt Bracken is making noise I don’t know. He’s at least frustrated his efforts were not being handled by the team around President Trump. That was a mistake.
So some frustration may be misplaced.
Or just stop. The primaries are three years away. Time will tell. Desantis has a reelection next year to show his chops under the magnifying glass. He will be tested, and frankly, needs to show he can run a much better campaign than 2018 when he barely squeaked by with a pretty weak campaign message.
We have several good options including Trump for next time. He is undoubtably the biggest draw right now. Events will guide how bad the democrats are seen through the mid terms.
I think there’s a good chance we’ll see a DeSantis/Noem ticket, and I think Trump would get behind it. Two great, conservative governors who dealt with Covid correctly.
Keep Trump in as long as possible and let the left and their army of rabid goons expend all their cash and management resources chasing Trump, and then switch down stream to DeSantis.
And will we still be voting with the same machines and software, so we can watch the votes being flipped again?
Kristi Noem for President 2024
Ron DeSantis for Vice-President 2024
Donald J. Trump for Governor of Florida
Trump isn’t going to run again and he will back a candidate for 2024. But he won’t pick anyone until well after the midterms. They will be coming to him as supplicants, ready to do what it takes to get his endorsement.
DeSantis should welcome trump back and be his VP and advisor taking the reins in 2028 and beyond...
i had someone tell me they wish they could vote for trump again instead of Biden... shoplifter’s remorse.
