This writer is very amusing.

I agree with much of what he says.

DeSantis has a lot going for him.

He’s young, vibrant, forward-looking, and unafraid.

He makes leftist heads explode.

He is also a good pro-life Christian.

What’s not to like?

SCOTUS was as much McConnells’ doing as it was Trump’s.


Wrong.

What a joke your post is. Take a little time to review what President Trump actually accomplished to avoid sounding like a total tool.

If he choose to run against President Trump, I will consider him a Traitor to the conservative cause and he will never get my vote, Primary or General.

That’s the difference between Trump and DeSantis supporters. Every DeSantis supporter on this site, including myself, has pledged to vote for Trump if he secures the GOP nomination, while so many Trump supporters are going to stomp their feet like petulant children and throw their away their votes to the Democrat.

How about a Trump/DeSantis Ticket. That would set up DeSantis for the election to come in 2028? Four years for Trump to set things right—then retire in grace and DeSantis continues the MAGA Revolution? Both are from the same state but Trump could move to another state—New Jersey? He owns a lot of places. The world in 2023 will be very different—the old order is on its last Green New Deal legs.

It would be incredibly naive to think that the left would not pull the same shenanigans on DeSantis as they have on Trump, regardless of how much baggage DeSantis may or may not have. A likely tag line would be DeSantis is Trump, evil incarnate.

Age weighs in favor of enjoying all the benefit of Trump’s remaining productive years rather first than going directly to someone younger.

I think that Trump himself is having Trump fatigue.

He is at an age when he should be more worried about his health than his political future.

Both of his brothers died at an age younger than he is now.

I wish him a long, peaceful retirement.

Your statements are only true, objectively, if you truly believe there was no fraud in 2020.

Furthermore, why you believe DeSantis would do any better in the Rust-Belt states, or any other states, with the possible exception of Florida boggle the mind. Especially with current state of polling that show President Trump wiping the floor with DeSantis.

That, and the Left will have no trouble ginning up the same level of hatred for DeSantis that they have created against Trump.

And he is short - which will probably be enough to do him in with the shallow electorate...

And that my friend is both something you cannot prove, and a lie since I know of several loud-mouth posters who support DeSantis and have made it clear they are not voting for Trump.

The election was manipulated. You are arguing from corrupt data points.

You can argue that until the cows come home. If the democrats stole the election, it's because Trump let them steal it. And at the end of the day, Joe Biden is in the White House and Trump is living in Florida as a private citizen.

Trump knew they were going to steal it. Yet, he greenlit mail voting and then stupidly told his supporters not to utilize it but instead to vote in person during the middle of a pandemic.

And where was the army of poll watchers? He did nothing to stop the steal except whine about it on Twitter before he got booted off.

I think for the first time I agree with you on something. I love Kurt S. but he’s like most attorneys and places no value on loyalty. As “Darrell Royal famously said.....”we’re going to dance with who brung us”.

Americans owe Trump eternal gratitude for exposing the corrupt to the core American government and it’s partnership with the marxist media. AND, in the process, he put himself, his wife and his children through hell.

I like De Santis but he should wait to run for president if Trump runs.

JFK, Obama and Clinton all got elected. Both Obama and Clinton won two terms. JFK was on his way to his reelection....

Wishful thinking on your part.

If there truly any proof by his behavior or his words please provide that as supporting proof of your contention

Its been ages since the GOP had two conservatives worth voting for. Either Trump or DeSantis unless the GOP decides to throw another Jeb up.

That is why Trump’s VP choice is so very important

I fully agree, especially considering the fact that Trump will only get another 4 year span rather than an uninterrupted 8. The VP absolutely has to 1000% MAGA ongoing. We need 12 straight years of MAGA without liberal interruptions paying us back with KADA (Keep America Down Again) which is destruction back on schedule plus interest.

Trump fatigue is a very real thing. People are tired of all the drama. Not in FreeRepublic of course though...

The cold truth is that if Trump runs (he will), he will lose in 2024.

DeSantis will probably win easily if he gets the nomination. He might even win Virginia and Colorado, states that are normally out of play.

Ron can’t run yet, he hasn’t been sued or indicted enough like Trump.
