I’m a little worried with the Bush/Rove “support”.
Whether it’s concrete or not and if - as one Freeper said - he blows kisses back time will tell.
Does this not trouble you, too?
Reagan #1
Washington #2
Trump #3
DeSantis #4
I’ll make up my mind when I hear them debate the best way to restore the Constitutional Republic...
Not for even one minute.
Maybe not. I remember Senator Howard Baker resigning in the 1980s so he could concentrate on the 1988 presidential race, still several years away.
But by New Hampshire and Iowa in 1988, he performed so poorly, he quit soon after the race began.
He later said it was a mistake to resign from the Senate. That as Senator, he would have stayed in the news, so that he would have run a stronger campaign.
The takeaway: DeSantis might lose his luster by 2028. He has to strike while, as governor, he's in the news.
RINOs are behind DeSantis. He may not be one for now but they are taking the “if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em” route and leaching on to DeSantis, hoping to change him or make him owe them. They know they don’t have a chance with any of their own and they can’t buy Trump. DeSantis will need to be watched carefully. Trump needs to get back in and stamp out the RINOs, Bushes and Cheneys once and for all. DeSantis won’t do that.
You summed it up well in a few sentences
😂
If Ron made videos like Don then I’d be impressed.
I won’t hold my breath.
Time will tell, but bear in mind that the Bushes and other Rino trash would throw their support behind any viable alternative to Donald Trump.
Trump not only defeated Jeb!, he humiliated him. Likewise for the rest of the Bush “dynasty”. Same for all the other GOP establishment hacks that were trotted out.
So if the Bushes weren’t supporting DeSantis, they’d be supporting Haley or “anyone else but Trump”.
“But it might mean Rove and the plethora of Bush League Republicans become part of his campaign and - if he succeeds - a future administration”
Trump as president also surrounded himself with establishment hacks. Because that’s all that was available to him as an outsider. Oh yes, and his daughter and her husband. Ugh.
Desantis on the other hand is a sitting governor. He would bring his own team from Florida, people that he trusts and that have been effective, but also from outside the DC bubble. Yes and also some establishment figures but I doubt that would be the “core” of the administration, as it was with Trump.
Trump made some truly awful hiring decisions.
All the Republicans with any scruples hated Howard Baker after he pushed the Panama Canal treaties. On other issues he was a Casper Milquetoast and a boring speaker. He was the Jeb of his day.
Stamping out RINOs once and for all is impossible even Trump won’t be able to get that done, Barry Goldwater couldn’t do it, Ronald Reagan couldn’t do it and Trump won’t either, the Bush clan may be destroyed but another RINO clan will take their place like the Romney and Rockefeller clans before them, the best we can do is to consistently beat them back but like liberals they never go away, they regroup and come again another day
“My hope (although doubtful) is that this is all theater and that Trump will pick DeSantis as his VP. They’d be unstoppable.”
They can’t run on the same ticket because they’re from the same state. Trump is registered in Florida now and has been for years.
Come on people this is basic.
Does anyone know who the letter(s) to Jeb and Laura were from and also who physically gave them the envelopes?
You smear Desantis by putting Soros in the same sentence.
Provided we had honest elections. Equal access to social media also helps.
But we have neither. So it's uphill regardless of who's on the GOP ticket.
I’ve also decided that I won’t support any presidential candidate unless his or her home has been raided by the Biden Gestapo.
I still think it’s cute that anyone will even think that the problems will be solved by voting.
Desantis didn’t-and wouldn’t-turn the country over to Fauci.
Stick with Trump.
I know he’s not perfect but he’s not one of “them”. Sheesh.
Also, that video really impressed me Alberta’s where he condemned the military industrial complex. Did you see it?
