Ron planted the story so he could make a headline with the denial.

Rhonda Santis should call a WAAAaambulance.

Well, OK then. You will NOT be considered.

For starters, he’s not Black or a female.

This is not breaking news. It is old news. That was then, this is now. RDS as VP makes a lot of sense in certain ways. It is also a lot better than some other possibilities (e.g. Tim Scott). If Trump picks DeSantis the last thing we should do is freak out.

Unlike Pence who was chosen by Trump twice to be his running mate.

Live and learn.

Only black females can be chosen for now on as VP, or we are all sexist and racist.

He’d add nothing useful to a ticket.

Poor Ron. He's burned too many bridges.

More likely the other way around, "Poor Don. He's burned too many bridges."

There are lots of MAGA folks that no longer support Trump. Just look at many of the folks that once worked for Trump. Trump has been a trainwreck when it comes to picking people, keeping people, and earning their loyalty. They may no longer support Trump, but they are likely still MAGA. People can be MAGA without kissing Trump’s ring.

>>”There are lots of MAGA folks that no longer support Trump.”

I doubt that. I’m sure there are a handful of people to whom that description applies, but most are pretenders who never fully supported Trump in the first place - either voting for him reluctantly or lying about having voted for him.

>>”Just look at many of the folks that once worked for Trump.”

Who? Michael Cohen? John Bolton, Bill Barr, Maddis? Refer to my above response. Few if any who worked for him but no longer support him were ever MAGA to begin with.

>>”People can be MAGA without kissing Trump’s ring.”

Only if they’re very stupid. There are a lot of pretenders who grift off of being MAGA but in truth, despise Trump and his agenda. If you support MAGA, Trump is the only logical choice. He’s the only Republican politician who ever took the fight to the left in such an effective way. Just look at who the Biden regime is trying to put behind bars, if you have any doubt.

Someone apparently moved it back into Breaking News - probably in response to Trump diplomatically saying he would consider DeSantis for VP, as well as all the other potential VP picks that Laura Ingraham asked him about.

Right. Poor Don. I guess you missed the part about DeSantis dropping out and Trump outperforming Biden across virtually all polls.

Maybe you were in the lobby getting some popcorn.

Ron has nothing to gain from the Trump clown show as they crash and burn this year. Hopefully enough idiots wise up before 2028.

It is 100% clear Trump has no interest in winning in the fall. He’s bankrupted and divided the party while paying for legal fees. Backed the loser RNC chair who has run the party dry and has done nothing to attract lost voters who have abandoned him since 2018.

I’ll vote for him but see no path unless Biden stays the nominee and does a dramatic face plant on live TV this fall after it is too late for a switcheroo.

Yup, but of course the DeSantis fan club around here can’t and won’t acknowledge their man is part of the Uniparty.

>>”It is 100% clear Trump has no interest in winning in the fall.”

What an absurd statement. If you genuinely believe that then there are probably very few things in the world that you DO see clearly.

>>”He’s bankrupted and divided the party while paying for legal fees.”

He’s bankrupted the party? You’ve got to be kidding. The RNC has spent nothing on Trump.

>>”[Trump] Backed the loser RNC chair who has run the party dry.”

While the RNC has spent wastefully, the bigger reason their coffers are dry is that donations have been anemic. You can attribute a good portion of that to DeSantis sucking up $300 million of donor cash for his doomed campaign.

No worries you turp, I don’t want you as VP either. We need a VP who will WIN IN FOUR YEARS, AFTER TRUMP!!! Yeah, I’m yelling. That is what we need. Not someone who will just hand the WH back over to the communists to stink up, again!!
