You Dems must be getting really desperate at the thought of President Trump CRUSHING the Dems in 2024 and becoming President again.
If you Dems are really convinced that Dementia Joe won with a massive, unprecedented 81 million votes in 2020 without massive fraud, why are you so scared of President Trump in 2024?

“DeSantis is Trump without the mean tweets, adultery, and poor hiring decisions.”

He, DeSantis, also appears to be self disciplined, with his ego in check. DeSantis comes across aggressive, but not mean spirited. Like Ronald Reagan he effectively uses humor to make his points.

While Trump may have once been a successful businessman, he struggled administering a government bureaucracy and political relations with Congress. DeSantis has proven he can effectively run a large government.

DeSantis’s young age (45 in 2024) will likely be a huge advantage should he decide to run in 2024. Biden and Pelosi are daily reminders to the electorate of the danger of dementia in elderly politicians. Eighty year old Mitch McConnell is another example of an old politician who seems out of step with today’s world. The baby boomer generation is fading into retirement, infirmity and death. In 2024 Trump will be 78. Even if his mental faculties appear intact, will he have the physical, mental, and emotional stamina to hold the office for four years? If an ailing Biden is still in office in 2024 age will be a major campaign issue. If Trump is running, and the Democrats have a younger candidate (Newsom for example), the press will make Trump’s advanced age a major campaign issue.

A DeSantis vs Biden matchup would be perfect from an age optics perspective, An active and vigorous young governor of a large and prosperous state running against an addled invalid incapable of appearing in public on his own two feet without dozens of aides and a teleprompter. Biden can’t be trusted to engage with a friendly press. DeSantis is very capable dealing with a hostile media on an impromptu basis.

In a Newsom-DeSantis matchup DeSantis is the younger candidate and the governor of a large vibrant growing conservative state while Newsom is the leader of a once vibrant state being crushed by decades of the progressive policies of the Democrat party. Voters can choose between prosperity and freedom or malaise and the heavy hand of government.
