(The MSM ain't gonna let that happen)

I’m no dreamer. I always face reality. Former President Donald Trump and Gov. Ron DeSantis don’t especially like each other. They are two competitive, mega-successful leaders. They both have big egos (well earned). They both believe they should be the one to save America. But so what? Former Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush didn’t especially like each other in 1980. But they united for the good of the GOP and the country. That gave Reagan two landslide victories, and Bush followed as president. That’s the ticket to save America today: UNITY.
With the GOP divided and Democrats in control of government, the very existence of America is threatened. Look around. We are on the verge of World War III. The U.S. economy is in decline. Banks are failing. Our border is wide open. Crime is exploding. And inflation is wiping out the great American middle class. America is hanging by a thread.
Our only hope is the reelection of Trump as president. But even that is not enough. For any chance at all, America needs DeSantis to carry on after Trump. America and the world are simply in too precarious a state to fix in four years. But a lot can be done in 12 years. To that end, let me first offer Trump and DeSantis my advice on how they can work together to save America.
This isn’t about either of you. It’s about saving the United States of America from a communist takeover, combined with a foreign invasion at our border. Time is running out.
Let me stress again: Four years with Trump as president is a good start, but it is only that… a start. Because it is going to take more than four years to save this troubled country. Because of that, I believe Trump and DeSantis are, at this moment in time, the two most important people in the world…
How? It starts with them becoming a team. Let DeSantis acknowledge the importance of Trump being president for the next four years, and let Trump acknowledge the importance of DeSantis taking over from him in 2028.
My personal opinion is that DeSantis should remain governor of Florida for the next four years, thereby solidifying his credentials as “the greatest governor in the history of America.” But he would also make a great vice president (assuming Trump/DeSantis can work out the legal residence issue of the Electoral College).
As VP I’d put DeSantis in charge of election integrity. He’s the man to make America’s elections as secure as Florida’s elections. And with a secure election, look what happens. The GOP won by a landslide in Florida.
Next, after deciding how to best proceed to unite the GOP and save America, jointly announce that decision to the world, and announce that they are going to work together to ensure that Trump is elected president of the United States in 2024, then DeSantis in 2028.
With this unifying message in place, Trump is essentially guaranteed to be the Republican nominee. Then Trump can embark on what I call, “The ‘What Have You Got to Lose?’ Tour” aimed at converting independent and Democrat voters in battleground states (meaning states that are actually winnable, if just a few voters can be persuaded to change sides).
Hold rallies in Philadelphia (in battleground Pennsylvania), Minneapolis (in battleground Minnesota), Atlanta (in battleground Georgia), Detroit (in battleground Michigan), Milwaukee (in battleground Wisconsin), Las Vegas (in battleground Nevada), Phoenix (in battleground Arizona) and Virginia Beach (in battleground Virginia).
This is the strategy to win the election in 2024.
Every vote gained this way is a “twofer” — meaning it’s one more Trump vote, and one less Democrat vote. That’s two for the price of one. But this strategy only works in battleground states, where the margin is razor thin.
The message “What Have You Got to Lose?” is simple and powerful. Democrat voters in Democrat-run cities live in MISERY. Trump’s point is, “What have the Democrats done for you? It can’t get any worse.”
To the contrary, President Trump gave black, Latino and female voters (all groups that support Democrats) the lowest unemployment in history; historic increases in middle-class income; and near-zero inflation. Compare all of that to Biden’s economy today.
With Trump and DeSantis in partnership, this strategy makes sense. But with a bitter primary fight, Trump must aim his campaign only at Republican voters.
But if we win with Trump in 2024, and he makes major strides to save the great American middle class; secure the border; restore law and order; reduce inflation; and restore election integrity, then we have a great chance to elect DeSantis in 2028 — and put together 12 straight years of GOP rule.
So, saving the greatest country in world history all comes down to putting ego aside and uniting Trump and DeSantis for the good of America.
Agreed. Anyone discussing elections who ignores election fraud is part of the effing problem.
For the sake of Uniparty unity, MAGA should make no compromises with Never-Trumpers, RINOs and Neo-cons and we already have a champion of MAGA.
DeSantis is joining the fray only to divide MAGA base while uniting Never-Trumpers, RINOs and Neo-Cons under the pretense of uniting GOP which will restore it be a Deep State Uni-party, a B-team of Globalist Democrats.
Trump handed the entire country to fauci. We struggled while he gave big pharma billions. He was the one who addressed Americans and told us we couldn’t gather in ground ups of 10 or more (except those burning cities), limit travel, except his unvetted Syrians, a bumpstock ban.. and to ensureperpetual tyranny: mail in ballots.
Then he stands up and decries election fraud when his right hand gave it to them.
Taking water to Ohio was great, he was not the only one there doing it. But I watched people die alone in hospitals n homes and no funeral.
Many suffered, are we letting their dying alone go without holding anyone accountable?
That’s it reprehensible. It is not who we are.
Trump bowed to the dems when there were plenty of reasonable voices.
And he gave pharma more money and power over everyone.
It’s not egos… it’s records.
He will come for your guns… he already disregarded 2A with his bumpstock ban.
He is too easy to manipulate or… he is a willing partner in the tyranny.
Ron was never there to begin with. This has all been an eGOP scam from day one.
Trumps fault!
Trump needs to stop acting like a 12 year old.
Await his turn? Sheep await their turn…to go to slaughter.
Best case scenario is that this is all a ploy by Trump and DeSantis to get the RINO establishment rallying around DeSantis which prevents them from unifying against Trump with anyone else, and once it’s too late for them to run another RINO, DeSantis bows out and tells the RINOS “sorry, I’m staying on as Gov and endorsing Trump”
We will not win in 2024
The battle was lost already
To win there must first be a blood letting war
Gee Bert, I’m surprised you think it is impossible to regain fairer elections. I’m not saying you are wrong. We are in a deeper mess than ever before.
I think that because in reality, there is no law. The law has been weaponized against us
Are you falling for Paul,Ryan’s plan by blaming Trump?
Name a recent POTUS who was as successful as Trump? Look at what Trump accomplished:
Gas price per gallon was about $2.30;
Inflation about 1.4%, mortgage rates were half of what they are now;
Unemployment was low before Covid and before Blue Governors shut everything down and we were in the midst of a V-shape recovery until January 22, 2021;
Tax decrease; tax laws promoted small businesses as well as large;
US enjoyed energy independence - No Green Agenda, no war on energy, No Paris Treaty;
No war in Ukraine, no threat of nuclear war, NATO paid its way;
China was quiet and we were winning the trade war;
US companies were bringing home the jobs due to well executed tax treatments;
Peace in the Middle East aka Abraham Accords; US Embassy moved to Jerusalem; and Iran was isolated.
Got three non-left “I don’t know what a woman is” Supreme Court Justices on the bench allowing Roe vs Wade to be overturned.
Who the heck can accomplish the above in four years while being impeached twice and investigated by Obama’s Weaponized Agencies?
Due to simple minded voters, elections are allowed to be stolen, idiot Democrat and RINO leadership goes on without question and Freepers like you dump on Trump.

DeSantis is a tool and a fool. Who knew?
RE: DeSantis is a tool and a fool. Who knew?
How so? Anybody who aspires to run for the presidency when Trump is a candidate is by definition now, a tool and a fool?

Yep life is a bitch. But with people free to make choices and
the ‘simple minded voters’ have a right to make choices as
that is the way things operate in non dictatorial societies.
Correct. Dumb people vote. I know I sure do!
Amen
