Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said Tuesday he would not be former President Donald Trump’s running mate if given the opportunity to join him on the ticket.

“I don’t think so. I’m not a No. 2 guy,” DeSantis said on the “Wisconsin Right Now” radio show, saying he would rather stay on as governor because the vice presidency “doesn’t really have any authority.”

Asked about his own thoughts on a running mate, DeSantis said, "It’s a little bit presumptuous to be doing that at this stage."

"I’m here to win the early primaries, and that’s what we’ve got to do first," he added.

“he’s heading way lower than No. 2.”

He’s “Too Low For Zero”.

Just sound it out, like I tell my nephew.

You’re right!

Let’s keep in mind that presidential candidates don’t select their running mates. The party leadership does. That’s how you sometimes end up with President-VP tickets with two people who don’t even like each other.

If Trump is the nominee, the VP candidate is going to be someone who is a trusted party insider — preferably (from the party’s standpoint) someone who would be flat broke outside of politics and will do whatever they’re told. That will be as true in 2024 as it was in 2016.

If I’m a betting man, I would say — at this point — the best odds for Trump’s running mate would be Kristi Noem.

As a LT in the USN, he was way, way under being a #2 man.

Well he certainly isn’t a number 1 guy either except of course among the anti-American Trump haters that are making a fool of him with this dead end “run.”

“I don’t think so. I’m not a No. 2 guy,”

If Trump had said that about himself, some people would stroke out over the extreme marcissitic attitude proven by that statement.

However, once you believe you are a special eighth day creation...

He used to be a 1/435 guy and now he’s a 1/50 guy.

Ron, a couple years ago, lots of people thought you’d be great for - 2028…

But now, yes; You are really starting to look like a “number two”…

Who would move, Trump or DeSantis. Can’t have a President and Vice President from the same state.
