“I think they [Alito and Thomas] are the gold standard.” I’d add Justice Scalia to that list.

DeSantis would have to first make it past Trump and then prevail in the general election. As fully demonstrated in 2020 the dems are in control of our national elections. So this will be an uphill battle for DeSantis. Of course it will be hard for Trump as well.

DeSantis knows all this but is positioning for 2028 and beyond.

Karl Rove helped to nominate the TRAITOR John Roberts and Harriet Mears.

Does Karl Rove have a horse in this race?

For 25 years, every GOP President’s nominees had to face “Are they really an extremist conservative?” “Prove to us they are sensible and moderate” “Are they women haters who want to restrict a woman’s right to choose an abortion?”

And a lack of subservient kowtowing means they get “Borked.”

But Dems don’t have to prove their nominee will uphold rights under the Constitution.

When asked by radio host Hugh Hewitt if he would “pledge to the Republicans as you go around the country that your judges will be like the Trump judges,” the 44-year-old DeSantis responded: “Well, actually, I would say we’ll do better than that.

Ron is learning.

He smiled before and after he said that.

But he was on radio.

Trump did well, working with Mitch McConnell, in filling vacancies on all three levels: the Supremes, the Courts of Appeal and the District Courts. This was among his top accomplishments as President.

But, in 2020, in addition to losing his bid for re-election, we lost control of the Senate. And, since 2020, Trump has been calling Mitch names like “absolute loser.” To paraphrase something Trump himself said, “I prefer politicians who win.”

Those are the great ones! However, Trump was lucky to get the ones he did (thanks to McConnell) even if they don’t meet the gold standard.

The biggest problem is probably Roberts, and Trump had nothing to do with that.

“I think they [Alito and Thomas] are the gold standard.”

No doubt about that.

Sure you will, Ron. And when the Uniparty starts attacking and slandering your nominees, and the RINO’s in your own party start to cave, who’s going to prevent that from deep-sixing your pick? In case you haven’t noticed, you’re not really a people person.

Your collogues don’t particularly like you. You’re considered a cold fish. Who’s going to press the flesh, make the calls and rally the party to stay firm when the left goes on the attack? I suppose you could delegate that task to someone on your staff. That would probably be your best option, because you’re not a natural born leader like Trump.

DeSantis will be lucky to stay in the race til SC. Much less be picking SCOTUS candidates. 😏
