I have been told by all the Trump vioters here that DeSantis is a RINO and Globalist plant. No way Trump would want to have him on his ticket. Way to go for Trump lost lose most of his base if he were picking him for VP

And the last thing Trump needs is another stodgy white guy as his running mate. Trump knows better. Frankly, DeSantis is a dead ender without Trump. And he needs Trump more than Trump needs him. Trump knows this. DeSantis will have to kneel before Trump and kiss the ring. If that happens, the world will crumble for so many here. But don't worry. I think this meeting was about Trump pissing on Ron's leg. Like that meeting Trump had with Mittens. Remember that? LOL. So DeSantis will stay a virgin, and not be forced to lift his skirt for the evil orange man. And the presidential fantasy for so many remains "intact" until the 2028 election. But it will be too late by then. Too late. Ron will be an old maid that no one will want. With his maidenhead forever pure. |

Sounds like a great step for DeSantis to win over Trump voters (85% of GOP) to set himself up to win in 2028

TDS (closet Dems) will never face this reality as they want Dems to win now and in the future. View Quote If DeSantis is devoted to to be POTUS he needs to sit this one out and run clean for 2028. Again, I can't imagine he's even remotely interested in accepting the number two slot to Trump. It's a political suicide mission. He's the darling of the conservative "right" on paper. The wonks in the globalist GOP will be backing him. Four years is a blur in the grand scheme of things. He's way more dangerous to the left as Governor of Florida and he needs to stay there to cement his platform. Not an endorsement, but I like the guy based on what he's done in the state of Florida. I'd give my eye teeth to have him as the skipper in the shit state I live in. Ya can't have it all, but the shit sammich might taste a little better if the chef spices it up some. |

DeSantis' 2nd term as governor ends January 2027, primary campaign season for 2028 starts only a couple months later. He'd have enough time for a vacation before hitting the campaign trail. He'd be well-positioned for that, and despite some loudmouth histrionics from a few he's got the highest favorability ratings for alternatives amongst Trump supporters.
I'd prefer to have him up to bat this year, but he can position himself well for the next window of opportunity. |

Always felt like what he was doing in Florida could be applied on a national scale. All during Trump's domination in the party (starting in the mid 2015s), DeSantis was always praised by the MAGA faithful. Every week Desantis was praised by some action he made in Congress. Then when he became governor, the DeSantis praise became stronger from the MAGA faithful. Even today, DeSantis is still the same guy he was 10 years ago. Want to know how DeSantis magically became a Uniparty Globalist, Deep State, RINO, Establishment??? It was when DeSantis became Trump's competition. That's it. Nothing more. It's when DeSantis decided to run against Trump rather than being a MAGA faithful himself. When that happened, DeSantis now became a possible threat to Trump's power and control over the GOP. That's when Trump started laying out the insults (like Ron DeSancitmonius, Ron being a RINO, "no energy," "awkward", etc..) That's when Trump convinced his fellowship to turn on DeSantis. All of this bullshit towards DeSantis is due to Trump's dark cloud hanging over the party. No Republican has a chance because the second Trump senses someone attempting to move up the ranks and challenge him, Trump will immediately go on the offensive and convince his faithful this politician (that they previously loved) is now an Establishment Uniparty RINO and can't be trusted. Notice how quiet politicians like Rand Paul have become? Everyone is terrified of sticking their neck out. The moment you stick your neck too far out and Trump sees you gaining ground as a possible threat to his power? Trump's attacks begin. The only Republican politicians willing to make waves and get away with it are the MAGA disciples (Freedom Caucus types, Jordan, Gaetz, MTG, etc..) They get no pushback because Trump doesn't see them as a threat since they're faithful to him. If Trump loses in 2024, runs again in 2028, and Jordan, Gaetz, or MTG (or any others on the Freedom Caucus) decide to run against Trump? Trump will immediately turn on them and convince his followers they're barking dogs with no bite, full of shit, loud mouths, etc.. Basically what a lot of Republicans are saying now (like seeing types like Marjorie Taylor Green as an embarrassing WWF sideshow). But the moment Trump says it during a speech or tweet? All of the faithful MAGA will turn on that group too. Trump will give them a few nicknames during speeches and tweets, his faithful will repeat it, and they'll no longer be relevant. There is nothing wrong with the DeSantis. DeSantis didn't turn into a RINO Establishment Uniparty, etc.. Trump just changed the narrative about DeSantis to keep himself at top. The only "wrong" thing he did was decide to compete against Trump. |

DeSantis knew exactly what he was getting himself into knowing full well Trump intended to run again in 2024. Also, I sure hope he didnt take it personal as politics and maneuvering are just that.
I would 100% support a Trump/DeSantis ticket. DeSantis is a FAR better orator and debater than Pence ever could DREAM of being. Pence sounded bloviated and absolutely didnt attack or crucify Harris when given golden opportunities. |

I would vote for that ticket and, if by some biblical-level miracle, they were to overcome cheating and win, they'd wreak havoc on the dems and the woke society.
However, I don't think DeSantis is the best choice. I think Trump has to pick someone who will unfortunately get more of a diverse turnout in his favor, either black or a woman. I'm just calling it like I see it. |
