'Should we really be doing this?': What went wrong for Ron DeSantis' campaign One person close to the governor said he's already thinking about 2028.

DeSantis began 2023 as the best positioned Republican candidate to challenge Trump for the party's presidential nomination, according to polling tracked by 538.

But he begins 2024 as another name on the growing list of rivals who failed to shake the former president's popularity among the GOP ---

DeSantis' early actions since leaving the race have already sparked speculation that the governor, who is only 45, could make another White House run in the future. A source close to him said that he has privately expressed interest in running again as early as 2028 and has brought it up as a possibility.

Whose your choice for 2028 if Trump wins 2024?

Why don't you post a list of candidates that are running in 2028? If you can't do that (hint: You can't) then your repeated question is nonsense.

Hard getting through to some people..

I said who’s your choice: noun: 1. an act or instance of choosing; selection:

Pretty simple question. I have no idea of who’s actually running which is irrelevant at this point, I said who is your choice?

I’d like steak tonight for supper but the wife may want scallops. Both good “choices” but I’d prefer steak.

Now do you understand what choice means?

“keeping himself in the news....just in case he is, again for 2024”

Yeah. Maybe he and Nimrata are keeping high visibility just in case the left takes out PDJT, and then they can be nominated at the convention.

Deal breaker for me was when he was flip-flopped re Ukraine after just a couple days.

Then there’s the flip-flop re not challenging Trump in the election, and then becoming a candidate.

Sure signs that (1) he has no fundamental principles, and (2) that he is easily manipulated by wealthy and powerful puppeteers.

“read slow.”

That would be “slowLY”.

Projection? You don’t even know what the word means.

What would we think of the Super Bowl teams if they gave interviews running down their defeated opponents? We’d probably think they are mentally sick losers. But of course champion athletes don’t do that. They think and say “I beat the best, which is more proof that I am the best.” I’m sure that’s what Trump thinks, but some of his supporters are pathetic losers who hang on to hatred like it’s an heirloom.

What are the choices? I notice you deflected in naming the choices. You can't because its unknown. Tough to get through to some.

F - - k... talk about thick, you’d be the definition.

I’ll try to dumb it down more but I’ve never played that stupid except with the dog.

I stated I have no idea who might be running in 2028. Do you understand that? That means I can’t give you a name on who is running because I... DO... NOT... KNOW... WHO... IS... RUNNING.

My CHOICE (which means who I’d like to run in 2028) would be DeSantis or maybe Vivek.

I don’t know if they’ll be running but that would be my CHOICE.

Then again someone new may pop up and be better.

Maybe Trump’s VP if he’s elected might be a good pick.

What a ranting raving lunatic you are. You ask people to state their choice and all I did was point out that your demand can't be stated. No one knows. Even by your own words you said you don't know yourself who will be available in 2028.

This is our first contact. The rest of your ranting and raving wasn't said in this post that I responded to. Its almost like your rants throw you off track of a conversation.

Whose your choice for 2028 if Trump wins 2024?

That's your entire post.

Why don't you post a list of candidates that are running in 2028? If you can't do that (hint: You can't) then your repeated question is nonsense.

That's my response to your nonsense question. I don't care what you said before or after. This is the comment you made that I responded to. Get it? I'm done with you so buggar off..
