Trump says no consideration of DeSantis as a potential running mate
Newsmax ^ | March 24, 2023 | Eric Mack

Posted on 03/25/2023 2:34:27 PM PDT by backpacker_c

Trump made the comments speaking in an interview with Rob Schmitt.

"No, I think that would be a very unlikely alliance," Trump told Friday's "Rob Schmitt Tonight" in a phone interview, when asked if he would consider DeSantis as a potential running mate.

"I've never thought of it," Trump told host Rob Schmitt. "We have a lot of great people in the Republican Party. I've never thought of it; but you know some people every once in awhile mention it, but that's about it."

DeSantis told Newsmax one night prior he is "an executive guy," suggesting he is a leader and not a follower of Trump, but Trump was incredulous DeSantis has moved on from a former GOP alliance.

I would love for Trump to use his platform to denounce gain-of-function experiments and ask key questions like:

Exactly what tools / techniques / knowledge did Ralph Steven Baric, of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, give to China?

What manipulations, in addition to those that are already known, did China do in order to get SARS-CoV-2?

What other labs have engaged in gain-of-function experiments?

What were the results of those experiments?

Whoa boy! I am almost 83. If Trump is on par with me in health matters, he has it what it takes to be president.

A+ as a president, D- as a politican.

Right now he needs to find a way to get back to the White House.

So, I expect him to pick someone like Kari Lake, who shares the pro-homo agenda.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Let’s pray that he does. Pious Pence was and is a cowardly POS, and DeSantis is a card-carrying member of the Uniparty who hasn’t been outed quite yet. The ‘rats and RINOs will do everything they can to be rid of President Trump who they rightfully see as a mortal threat who would expose their anti-American criminality. By the way, why your hatred of the queers?

Before the members of the band got famous, they got together to play one of their early toxic tunes:

I like her but she lacks the primary qualification.

Are you implying that unlike our current VP, she hasn’t been adequately “qualified” by the likes of Willie Brown?

Establishment money used DeSantis as a proxy to push Trump aside and cripple MAGA. He should have known better but they appealed to his ego and went for the ride. It was a terrible mistake.

BINGO! Well and truly said.

For one, Trump didn’t pay any money. His lawyer did and testified under oath that Trump was unaware of what he was doing.

It’s all a moot point, because your many FAILURES include not securing elections OR getting rid of the deep state, so you will NEVER WIN RE-ELECTION. Nor will ANYONE not running as a democrat. Your FAILURES gave democrats the FINAL victory.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Yeah, that’s right. We would all be much better off with somebody like Paul Ryan, or Mitch the Bit*h, or Larry Hogan, or even Lizard Cheney!

I said I don’t expect Trump to select a morally strong VP again, nor will one probably agree to run with him. He’s already shown his dissatisfaction with Pence, and now he’s constantly attacking DeSantis as “sanctimonious” for his strong moral positions as well.

This is more Trump’s thing, now:


Impossible for Trump to win without Catholic/Evangelical moral majority

You completely defined yourself with that statement. Trump is the victim of political persecution on a scale never before seen in human history. And it’s been going on for more then 6 years. So any freak that would blame Trump for what the fbi/doj and soros bought and paid for prosecutors have been doing is not a person to take serious. I spit in disgust in your direction.

I could have post that and not changed a single word, although I would have added another SPIT!

still waiting for an explanation of why he would pay hush money if there was no affair waiting ...

....

As it appears you've never gotten far enough in any employment or career you've had to worry about something like that,

It's called going away money.

Because if you ever got far enough to be in management or own a company, and someone comes to your business, claims a slip and fall or some other injury and threatens to sue, it's something you consider to do.

Because, it's cheaper to pay some money and make no admission of guilt or responsibility to make something go away, rather than have to have a long and expensive trial to prove your innocence.

But, like I said, it appears you've never gotten that far, to need to know or worry about something like this.

And now watch how many of the same desantis supporters here in this thread, repeat the same question in some other thread

So you can't even accept everything that's been told to you on this thread? Damn son. Go bury your head in the snow pack.
