You’re right. In 2028 he wouldn’t have had to come up with
a platform to outdo what had already been on someone elses
platform.

He could have stood there with Trump, and Trump would have
talked him up. He wouldn’t have had to do much of anything
to carry on Trump’s legacy.

Now this. Well, everyone who talked him into it, ENJOY!

Trump would have the reins ready to turn over to him. He wouldn’t have had to fight the deep state if he would win 2024. Like here in Florida, Rick Scott had everything ready for him and a very friendly legislative branch etc.

Your posts expressed a lot of what I have been thinking.

The saddest part--the consultants will move and attach themselves to the next money teat. The donors are trying to woo Youngkin.

While 2024 is shaping up to be a very critical election, some thought has to be given to 2028. If Trump wins, and starts to reverse the damage, who would carry the standard? DeSantis pretty much flashed his butt at the electorate.

He could have stood there with Trump, and Trump would have talked him up. He wouldn’t have had to do much of anything to carry on Trump’s legacy.

He would likely have joined the Trump administration in 2026 after his term as governor of Florida was up and run from that position of strength.

He still could, if he backs off, does a good job in delivering Florida to Trump next year, and does a good job finishing his term in Florida.

He will no longer be a threat to President Trump.
