Honestly, I think he’s more valuable as a governor.

We saw how hamstrung Trump was because of the people around him.

Hopefully, DeSantis is a bit better judge of character, but still, we need strong governors to stand up to the feds, and so far, he’s it.

I wish more would learn from his example, but they are already probably too compromised.

I appreciate deSantis mentioning the “uni-party” operating in Washington....slowly but surely they’re being identified....Liz Cheney comes to mind as we know, and others who certainly can no longer hide.

But at some point the torch has to be passed, I hope Trump stays around for a long time, but at his age, you cannot make any assumptions, and I don’t want the MAGA movement to die with him.

Actually the good thing is that DeSantis has worked with a lot of people as Florida Governor he can bring with him to Washington. Guys he knows and trusts. Trump could never get that.

That’s why I always believe Governors tend to be the best Presidents, especially when it’s a State like Florida.

Governors have a chance of cleaning up state corruption and deadweight agencies, people.

At the federal level, the agencies are too big and too powerful and totally unaccountable. Layer upon layer of rule and regulation impedes firing, Congress has yet to see an agency that is useless. Even the fellow appointed to fix the agency in charge of Voice of America was unable to get the job done, on account of resistance from below. Nothing he could do, and that’s just one little, not-so-powerful agency.

Yes, one more term as governor to really cement the positive changes he's made in Florida. Then, president in 2028.
