If Trump doesn’t want it in 2024, I’d consider DeSantis.

It’s not really up to us.

Mitch McConnell is lord of the GOPe, and he will determine
who is fit and who isn’t.

He’s already announced he won’t support anyone who can’t win.

Remember, they all thought Trump couldn’t win.

Anyone who has to float a tepid little trial balloon to see which way the political winds are blowing can just go away.

Ditto. If Trump doesn’t run, Desantis would be my first choice at this point. He gets it and isn’t afraid of the liberal/left/Dem/media establishment.

Trump is a lighting rod so DeSantis probably has a better chance in winning.

McConnell looks really ill to me.

He might not be walking the face of this Earth in 2024 due to health reasons.

He should be praying instead of bashing a fine man like President Donald J. Trump.

He should be praying, but he sold his soul a long time ago.

No one can fill the vacuum left by Donald John Trump. You people are deluding yourselves. I wouldn’t know this DeSantis guy if I were trapped on an elevator with him.

Doesn’t matter who the Republican is, they will be crucified.

I think there’s no question that if Trump doesn’t run then DeSantis will be the odds-on favorite.

Yep but Trump surprised his enemies on his way to victory in 2016. DeSantis would have a similar advantage, Democrats might underestimate him.

Gov. DeSantis would emulate Trump. He’s one of our best Governors and owes Trump for his election over the Stalinazi Sodomite pervert and crook Andrew Gillum in 2018.

DeSantis is a fool to let this trial balloon float in this way. We just had the largest presidential election win in history stolen out from under us. The nomination is Trump’s to take if he wants it, and DeSantis risks permanently alienating Trump’s enormous base by openly plotting to run against Trump for the nomination. DeSantis and every other potential candidate should wait and see what Trump decides to do before making any overtures. DeSantis has plenty of time in his career. He should shut up and wait for us to right this wrong and take our country back. I, and many others like me, will vehemently and permanently oppose any candidate who tries to push Trump off the stage.

The Demonrats are going to throw the kitchen sink at DeSantis next year for reelection.

Yeah Trump should give up his 80% popularity and 80+ million voters because he’s a “lightning rod”. Whatever the f that means
