“I may get flamed for this, but I hope Trump does not run. Its Desantis turn. What made me feel this way was reading Scott Atlas’s book about the covid task force. Trump never attended a single task force meeting. The most important issue in Trump’s Presidency, and he was absent. He let Pence ( a milk toast) run the task force, which then allowed Birx to actually make the decisions. Basically, he let Birx take over his Presidency. No one was allowed access if they disagreed with the Birx plan. I remember Desantis early on pushing back against the mandates.
It seems to me DeSantis picked better advisors.“
I agree with you. I love Trumps policy instincts, but he isn’t a good administrator. I supported ALL of the MAGA agenda that he ran on in 2016: 1) build a wall; 2) big beautiful infrastructure; 3) bring industry back from Mexico, China and other 3d worlds; 4) threaten sanctions on ceos who tried moving factories abroad; 5) tax the hedge fund billionaires (who seem to be mostly leftist); and 6) replace Obamacare with a health plan that serves everybody.
Unfortunately, Trump couldn’t deliver on any of these top MAGA promises. He hired people who opposed him, and he was unable to exert leverage against the RINOs in Congress.
I salute him for not getting us into new wars, but on domestic front he didn’t deliver
I see Desantis as an effective administrator who can get things done and who supports the MAGA agenda
If Trumps the nominee he has my vote, but Desantis is by far my first choice for the nomination
Trump must Run—This is a three act play and we are in the second act now, The third act “The Return of the King” is coming and its his duty to set things right, punish the wrong doers and clean the nation before he goes out. Its like Robin Hood, when King Richard Returns, to take out the tyrant King John and unify the Saxons and Normans into one nation. Its poetic. Now did Trump make mistakes—you bet. Did he trust the wrong people—sure thing. Will he make these mistakes again—I think not—he’s a fast learning businessman with a fair for the theatrical. When things are running well—Then DeSantis can step up—Or better yet—Trump could have him as VP so that if Trump should fall to an assassin’s bullet—DeSantis could finish the job. That way he would be set for the next election to continue the MAGA Revolution.
