Jimi Hendrix play briefly in Little Richard’s backup band, and also in James Brown’s Famous Flames band. He didn’t last long in either. He was told “ain’t room but for one star up on this stage”.
I like both Trump and DeSantis, would love to see it. I don’t think Trump could tolerate anyone as VP who would take the attention away from himself, pretty common in politics and why Presidents usually have some nebbish as VP.
But this time we have extenuating circumstances. The country will soon be past the point of no return if we don't use every weapon at our disposal.
The rule of thumb was to never pick a VP that would outshine you and the choice of Sarah Palin by McCain proved that completely. However DeSantis as VP is likely a good choice. No one can out shine Trump. Ever. DeSantis knows his place in the Chain of Command and would likely do exactly as he is told by his Commander, should he be asked to step into the boss’s shoes, he’d do his best to maintain the mission. Trump and the people of the United States could do worse than DeSantis as VP. Excluding Trump at the top of the ticket I would probably go with DeSantis. At least he was never a Senator and isn’t a clown as Governor. Governor make good Presidents, (okay, excluding Carter) and Senators make terrible Presidents (see Barry Odumbo and Joe Hiden).
