GOP presidential candidate and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said on Saturday that he'd consider Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds as a potential running mate if he wins the Republican nomination. She appears to have other plans.

But Reynolds demurred when asked in an interview Monday morning on Fox News if she'd accept the offer.

"I am so focused," she told Fox News' Ainsley Earhardt. "I'm busy working on being the governor of the great state of Iowa."

STOP THE BS CLAIMS OF LYING. Why don't you re-read Jim's notice a week ago.

I've called you out on the incessant and repeated posting of negative threads about DeSantis, trashing and insulting anyone that supports DeSantis, but being thin-skinned when people question Trump.

Read through the threads. The only people insulting people on FR are like you supporting Trump. You don't see supportings of other candidates insulting people on FR or resorting to Trump wann be namecalling.

Seriously, people might consider your comments on FR if you could manage a little bit of politeness and engage in constructive conversation.

Lastly, do you think any of your posts or comments have added a single new voter for Trump? How many may you have lost him?

So, do you answer politely and constructively or will you just continue with insults and namecalling?

Trump didn’t suggest Tim Scott. Maria Bartiromo asked him about Scott and in usual Trump fashion he said Tim is a nice guy.

What has that to do with threatening anything?

You and your comrades, a few of them, keep posting multiple times a day new threads with articles either denigrating DeSantis or promoting Trump to high Heaven.

It’s an open forum.

People REPLY to that thread, and some of it will be blow-back and disagreement.

YOU and those other comrades are those who keep posting, carpet-bombing, the FR article listings with your biases and prejudices every single day, yet you expect no comments? Especially not contrary comments?

The only way this applies to DeSantis is if he’s going for a jog.

Jim put that post out because the fundraising is struggling ... bad. I wonder why?

I don't see any fundraising issues. I see the progress and the goals acheived. I'm a long-time paying supporter of FR. And I don't recall seeing Jim saying in many years that there is an issue with fundraising or a need to contribute more.

I'd love to see flags identifying paying and non-paying FR members. Let's get the non-paying folks to pay-to-play.

"What are you going to do if Trump announces a VP early?"

The question is what are you going to do when DeSantis drops out?

"Ron should be busy doing what Reynolds is doing. Being Governor."

Ron, like Mike Pence should be concerned how each will get back to their home States in the not-too-distant future. And in Ron's case, how he will be treated after deceiving his supporters last November.

Answer the first, I’ll then answer yours. While others here don’t answer questions, you do, which I respect.

The targets have been lowered ... now down to 75k. I think some good people have left because of the issues you’ve mentioned. Nobody likes to be ridiculed for posting their opinion on an open forum.

"Also, you keep posting negative threads about DeSantis, but not negative about Trump."

ROFL!! Are you so helpless that you can't post your own Trump-hating threads?

"Answer the first, I’ll then answer yours."

Your "what if" question was ridiculous as all "what if" questions are. If you want an answer, ask Trump. He's the one running.

There was a purge of the vitrol writers in 2016, probably coming due again now. BTW, if I recall correctly, many tried to go an create their own alternative, what happened with that? And I think many eventually came back. Today’s vitrol is much like before, and not disimilar to early election cycles.

Point is he was considering if someone would be VP. It is NOT declaring someone as a running mate. So what.

If your question is not rhetorical it mat be because the Ukraine war is so topical and widely discussed. There are a dozen or so heavy posters who call anyone posting or commenting in support of either side Zeeepers, Globohomos or Putin Puffers. There exists the possibility of discussing the war and suggesting what its and how about thats without immediate ad hominem name calling attacks from these. I think people left. Do these dozen or so donate enough to make up for it? Does this dynamic encourage others to stay and donate? No easy answers to these Qs.

The corresponding point of that is we don’t want to constantly rag on Trump or even cheer-leading for DeSantis or anyone else. We’re not that obsessed or vested in anyone to keep finding articles and posting them. Carpet-bombing FR article listings to influence opinion.

Indeed - this is so disingenuous, AGAIN.
Thread here just over the weekend about Trump saying Tim Scott might be a good VP.


More mis-information as usual to cover for desantis

Trump never said a name for v.p.

Maria - is there anyone you see on theat stage as a potential running mate, as your vp?

Trump - possibly. you have some very talented people. I’ve been impressed with some of them. A number of them called me up, not for permission, but sort of, to say they’d like to do it. -— I’m not going to embarrass them by saying who, but no. I think you have good people, good potential cabinet members.

Actually Trump said if he won he’d consider Scott for his Cabinet.
a tad different

You also have the choice of not clicking in threads.

But if you click into threads that you don’t lie the topic of, you should stay on topic.....

instead of bringing up Trump and other off topic stuff in it, to thread disrupt it.

Otherwise, the only point of clicking in the thread and posting off topic stuff is to throw attention off of, in this case, desantis.
