In an extensive interview with journalist Bari Weiss on her podcast, "Honestly," former Trump administration Attorney General William Barr said that "if I had to bet" who'd be elected president in 2024, he'd say Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.

Agreed. Trump has better agenda than Reagan due to MAGA.
Reagan was never MAGA, he helped China enter WTO which devastated American middle class working in manufacturing.
If Trump had the same personality as Reagan, who knows how much more he could have achieved.

There are not more people convinced that Trump’s a villain. Only about 40 million imaginary people were, in 2020.

If they get Trump, they will get DeSantis, too.

How did Reagan help China get into the WTO?

His actual policies towards Red China should have been stronger, but he was hobbled by Carter’s full recognition of them.

GHWB was the best friend China ever had.

Yes, and his son helped them join the WTO in 2001.
Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the UN.
That’s Goal #7 on the list of 45 communist goals for the USA. Why were Democrats and New Republicans RINOs so eager to make them happen?

Bad thing for DeSantis with all the Deep State RINOs bandying his name around. He ought to shut them all up and disavow their ruminations once and for all.

Why should he do that? If DeSantis is easily re-elected (as everyone predicts), every single person in his circle is going to push him for a White House run. Strike while the iron is hot.

DeSantis is one of the most popular Republican politicians right now. Why should he make a declaration to not run when Trump himself hasn't even officially declared that he's running?

The country needed a man equal to the vision, courage and audacity of our founding fathers. Barr failed.

Because it sounds like you’re saying that Ron DeSantis should formally make a pledge that he will not run for president in 2024.

And I ask, why should he do this?

You must be hearing things. Don’t ever put words in my mouth, please.

What do you mean by that?

Thanks for asking.

DeSantis receiving open support from left wingers in the Uniparty for a Presidential run makes it seem that he is representing their agenda. A man considered a popular choice for POTUS does not need such support.

Left wingers in the Uniparty? Who? Barr? Trump's Attorney General?

There's nobody on the left that wants DeSantis to run for president, seeing him as a far more competent, focused version of Trump minus all of the negative baggage.

LOL, all of the left-wing media was touting DeSantis as the alternative to Trump. That includes all of the RINOs such as at National Review.

I’m sorry you insist on denying reality.

DeSantis is an alternative to Trump. He’s better than Trump in every metric.

He’s younger, more disciplined and focused, more MAGA (DeSantis actually fights and wins). And most importantly, he doesn’t surround himself with imbeciles, backstabbers, and Deep State stooges.

Now you’re talking like the RINOs and Democrats.

This has nothing whatsoever to do with what I said, as I pointed out before. Please take your sales pitch elsewhere; it will only serve to make people wary of DeSantis, who is not attacking Trump in any fashion himself.

Why would DeSantis attack Trump? He'll need MAGA votes when he runs for office and rest assured, you'll bet he courts them.

You seem threatened by a potential DeSantis run. Why?

You contradicted yourself in your previous post. DeSantis has never been a politician in DC, so he cannot be surrounded by too many swamp-dwellers.

You contradict yourself here, too. It’s only the RINOs and Democrats presenting DeSantis as a 2024 presidential candidate right now (in the face of who has the popular support), and that’s the threat to all of us, including DeSantis.

Since you are going to continue to be a broken record, I bid you good evening . . .
