As much as I like The Donald and would support his nomination, Ron DeSantis would be the better pick. He’s younger, handles himself better in front of the camera and has a lot less historical baggage to drag along.

Wrong on all accounts.

Donald Trump is the same man he was in 2016 and America loves his brash style even more now.

He IS what America needs, a blunt, honest, brash man that will take the fight to the enemy.

But thanks for sharing the Establisment's viewpoint on Trump. It is good to know what the enemy is thinking.

Trump could not pick DeSantis as his running mate in’24 because they are both from Florida. Right?

Many do. But many - including many who voted for him - don't.

Elections are about numbers, not about passion, and a vote doesn't count any more than anyone else's simply because you are more enthusiastic about your candidate. Trump cannot win if the only votes he gets are those of dedicated "Trumpers".

“Donald Trump is the same man he was in 2016 and America loves his brash style even more now. “

Trump will be 78 in 2024. Biden has demonstrated to the American people a danger of putting someone in their late 70’s into the job of POTUS. Trump’s combative style was refreshing and new in 2016. Given the direction the country is moving in, by 2024 the American people will be looking for a young, energetic problem solver who has demonstrated he or she can build an effective team to tackle the myriad of grave problems the nation will be facing at home and internationally.

Serious voters will be concerned about Trumps age, and the possibility of electing another advanced age president with dementia, and will remember Trump failed miserably in selecting capable and committed people for many key jobs. They will also want a president who spends time and energy actually working on very complex problems not someone whose extreme ego is so big he goes into personal attack mode at the slightest perceived offense. Trump always has to be the center of attention, taking credit for anything good, and blaming others for anything negative. Real leaders back their people when the going gets rough, they don’t constantly criticize them, or berate them, in public.

The key question is can a 78 year old egomaniac adapt his style to govern effectively in 2024? If Trump is reelected in 2024, and spends four years at war with his own people in the executive branch, Congress, and the media, he will fail.

Donald Trump was literally robbed of his second term. He deserves it. He still is out supporting the party every day. His endorsement is gold. His predictions are still coming true. The witch hunts will continue to fail. Elon likes to think hes the smartest guy in the room but this isnt always the case. Ive watched Trump annihilate folks like Elon for years. Trump has no problem calling people out. People like Musk do not like to be called out.

As usual u attack anyone not 110% fanboy just like folks here did with bush in the embarrassing Dubya years here when dissent brought howlin and her future wideswakes coven down claws beared in an instant pleading for JR and the silly Viking kitties cause someone said Bush was wrong

Incredible considering how Bush was viewed here 97-nomination to the ignorant who don’t know that history

One can support trump as number one choice for 2024

He is MAGA no question

But this fight with Musk gains him nothing

It’s just to push his site over twitter

Which is quixotic and a waste of his Q factor

In my opinion

It doesn’t mean we don’t value Trump as much as you do

It means we think it’s not his best use of time

Id be happy with musk flawed or not running twitter

Ditto trump running America

He’ll give him six years as king would suit he honestly

DeSantis as chief of privy council

I’m in
