A new Morning Consult/Politico poll revealed 27 percent of Republican voters believed Trump should pick DeSantis as his potential vice president, compared to 15 percent who wanted Pence.

Nikki Haley, the former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, came third with 12 percent. Texas Sen. Ted Cruz placed fourth with 9 percent when respondents were asked whom they would like to see as Trump's Republican running mate.

There’s only one litmus test for a VP candidate. If 2020 were to happen again what would he or she do.

The two together, if we can get them to work together, would be an unstoppable team.

Nimrata Randhawa is not a natural born citizen.

Aside from that she got the ball rolling on the history erasing.

It’s not her history, so she doesn’t care.

I don’t think either man can live with the second fiddle role. Desantis would probably rather wait until 2028 than do ceremonial stuff for 4 years

I agree. I don’t think androids are White House-eligible.

I want Trump to retire and DeSantis to be the nominee. But I would happily vote for Trump.
