Ron DeSantis and Tim Scott are the ticket to beat Trump
The hill ^ | 05/02/2022 | KEITH NAUGHTON

Ever since Donald Trump sulked out of the White House, the question has never been whether he would do whatever he could to get back in, the question has always been whether he could do it. At first it looked like Trump could easily secure the Republican nomination but could not unseat President Biden.

Slowly but steadily this script is flipping.

Increasingly Trump is looking stronger against a flailing Biden, while eroding as the preferred candidate for Republicans. The prospect of the GOP turning to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is very real, if DeSantis plays his cards right and Trump continues to play his cards wrong. And a Ron DeSantis-Tim Scott ticket could be a combination Trump can’t beat.

DeSantis is a young guy he can easily run after Trump wins again.

No to Scott.

If Trump doesn’t run, DeSantis #1 on the ticket. For #2, maybe Noem if she confesses a couple of earlier bad decisions.

Not Scott.

Tim Scott is a darker Flimsey Grahamnesty.

If he is on the ticket, I don’t vote.

Trump is the “presumptive” R nominee the minute he declares.
It’s up to him to decide yes or no.

Scott’s a worse RINO than most in Congress. NO to that.

I think it’s a moot point anyway.....I don’t look for DeSantis to run in 2024.

No way would I vote for Scott, nothing more than a closet RINO. This is the same guy that worked with Corey Booker for police reform and not a big Trumper.

Ron said he wouldn’t run if Trump ran, already. So, unless something happens to Trump, he won’t run.

There is simply no way that if Trump chooses to run that he will lose any Republican primary. Other Republican politicians may seethe but they know its in their best interests to remain silent and back Trump. Unless Trump develops health issues, he will probably run as a matter of principle if nothing else.

Still trying to drive a wedge between Republicans. The Hill can stuff it.

This author is an idiot.

Ron DeSantis will not try to “beat” Trump and he couldn’t even if he tried.

Tim Scott is a non-starter. He’s a squish and a swamp creature. Totally useless.

I will vote for whomever wins the primaries as long as it's Trump or Desantis, and Desantis says he's not running if Trump is.

Scott is a non-starter for 2nd fiddle, or any other fiddle. Not even as the guy with the triangle. No go!
