GOP presidential candidate and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said on Saturday that he'd consider Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds as a potential running mate if he wins the Republican nomination. She appears to have other plans.

But Reynolds demurred when asked in an interview Monday morning on Fox News if she'd accept the offer.

"I am so focused," she told Fox News' Ainsley Earhardt. "I'm busy working on being the governor of the great state of Iowa."

Oh for God’s sake.

So people can only reply to posts to be yes-men?

You post only on threads with which you fully agree? Just to say “yes sir”, “yes ma’am”?

That’s not a conversation.

Get real.

I agree. You need to send your comment to Reno89519. He’s the one demanding “equal time.”

Kim Reynolds could have had the Senate seat now held by Joni Ernst. Reynolds lobbied for Ernst instead. I certainly don’t believe Reynolds wants to go to DC in any capacity.

Maybe DeSantis knows that?

Lots of DeSantis threads were posted when he was doing well.

Now his campaign is flailing, and so any news story about the campaign is going to be negative for deSantis.

Now you’re trying to say I said something I didn’t say, and throw the thread off topic.

So, argue or defend desantis talking about reynolds as v.p..

desantis clearly thought he would gain brownie points for bringing her up as v.p..

Trump didn’t need to talk about the v.p. yet, and so didn’t say anything about it with bartiromo.

If Gov. DeSantis is only running for himself, so is Rahmasway, he is regurgitating MAGA talking points just to advance himself. It’s time for BOTH of them to drop out.

I wish Ron DeSantis would concentrate on being Florida’s governor.

That hasn’t been the only time he has directly said he’ll purposefully disrupt threads...

He actively does it, but he doesn’t seem to want people to know he has said he is doing it on purpose ....

Sorry, doesn’t fly. Ron was ASKED about her as a possibility, JUST LIKE TRUMP. Which is what you all said was “different” about Tim Scott et al over the weekend. When in fact it is the very same. Ron did not bring it up himself, period.

As far as twisting your meaning? Maybe I misunderstand something. But what I saw is expectations of cheer-leading only, nevermind the pure fact that actual threads indeed break off to new threads on tangents. (Easier seen on forums where “threading” was possible, but does not seem to exist anymore anywhere.). This is not a surprise nor a breach of some code about conversation.

Not the same. Tim Scott was a different question. Nothing about VP.

I’ll also add every criticism of Ron gets posted is another lie. Most of it we let go by and it never gets posted. There is so much to work with now it just seems like there is a lot. Posting everything would be impossible. Less than 10% gets posted on here. In actuality more criticisms of Trump are posted.

Where are those Trump threads (NOT MERE REPLY POSTS) posting articles about negative stuff? Usually by pro-Trump people wishing to tear it apart as laughable, for fun.

I look at article listings, Title only to get the maximum number on one screen, and I keep seeing it peppered with how great Trump is or terrible DS is. (I call that carpet-bombing.). Usually by the same 3-5 members.

Why should Trump supporters do the foot work for you desantis supporters/nevertrumpers and post anti-Trump threads?

Can’t you do it yourself?

Ya all seem so able to post trash in pro-Trump or anti-desantis threads....
