Not so long ago, former President Donald Trump said that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis was on his short list of vice presidential candidates.
Looking at all the things DeSantis has been doing since “abandoning” his presidential election campaign, I think he might think he still has a chance at being on the ballot in November.
But perhaps it’s that DeSantis thinks with the former president facing considerable legal jeopardy, he still has a chance.
It’s all speculation for sure! But it begins to make sense when you put everything together. And when you know the way DeSantis thinks.

DeSantis is like the dog feces on your shoe that just can’t get completely off.

Perhaps against Nikki Haley for 2028 based on this.
backstabbing desanctus is anything but an ally to anyone....
desantis still campaigning for president is based on facts - it’s based on how he’s having near daily press conferences, many with no announced topics, just to keep his face in the media
And as far as pushing buttons, just look at the articles the desantis supporting nevertrumpers have been posting about unacceptable candidates like haley, tulsi, etc, that Trump has already chosen as vp.....
You personally supported Democrats and their talking points here: https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/4219739/posts
You attacked DeSantis for a local press conference talking about issues local to the place he was speaking and claimed it was Presidential politics here: https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/4222593/posts
And we can see a host of other similar nonsensical posts with regularity going back months on a search.
Scouring the internet every day trying to see every little thing that DeSantis is up to so you can post about it and try to manufacture a conspiracy.
Just ignore the other two links and go on a psychotic rant.
and desantis supporting nevertrumpers claim it’s common for governors to have daily press conferences....
Yet, they can’t provide a list of the daily ones desanctimonious did concerning Florida, while he was doing the 99 caucus site grassley...
That’s because desanctus thought he’d be president, and wouldn’t need to worry about governing Florida anymore....
And a bunch of MAGA folks will support Newscum because Trump told them DeSantis is bad.
After Trump dissed her father’s service — not his political career, but his military service — she was never going to support Trump.
Don't put words into my mouth (or is it my keyboard LOL). Would you say my having homeowners insurance means I'm just fine with my house burning down?
IMHO, now that the Republican primary is practically over, DeSantis is doing a good job of not really running anymore. He's not interfering with Trump's campaign anymore (at least from what I see, maybe I haven't seen it). But he's there just in case the Dims figure out a way to remove Trump. DeSantis is now acting like the spare tire; if the main tire (Trump) gets punctured blame the Dims.
And a bunch of MAGA folks will support Newscum because Trump told them DeSantis is bad.

That won’t happen.
Trump is no longer in competition with DeSantis, so he has no reason to injure DeSantis’s political future.
Trump will back the Republican nominee 2028.
“Would you say my having homeowners insurance means I’m just fine with my house burning down?”
If you actually think that is a logical comparison then this conversation is useless.
Florida governors have a long history of failing when they try running for president. Most of them fade away after they leave office. In the south Orlando area, my mother used to see former Florida Governor Reubin Askew and one time aspirant to the presidency slowly shopping on weekday mornings at the local Publix — just another silver haired retiree picking over the produce and trying to scalp a few bargains by comparing prices.
His ego.
Please explain why any Trump supporter or republican, for that matter, would find it acceptable to have desanctus pushed on them as the republican presidential nominee.... When he's so corrupt, and unlikeable.... and was polling worse than even haley....
DeSantis is a social conservative. Trump is not. I would love to have DeSantis as President in 2028 to get this ship of state slowly turning back in the right direction.
If Trump were killed, the only acceptable replacement would be someone with no political career.
You don’t drain the Swamp by being part of it.
Your TDS threads are gone and you’re next, zotbait. Meow.
Since desantis has been shown to lie so much....
How do you know when “I’m not a candidate” desantis is telling the truth or he’s lying about something?
His ego.
Trump Plans to Make Ron DeSantis a ‘Political Eunuch’
************
Rolling Stone is your source. I’ll pass.
The only person that controls what happens to DeSantis in the future....... is DeSantis.(Plus his wife)
He should do much better in 2028 without Trump in the picture.
Trump never had any intent to nominate DeSantis for VP. As a practical matter, he could not since they are from the same state and the constitution prohibits the state electors from voting for two people from the same state.
