Just added DeSantis to my phone's dictionary.

I think Trump will have a hard time to garner enough support, should he fall short I hope he will endorse whomever beat him and get out of the way.

Al_Sharpton_for_President says

The race for the Republican nomination increasingly looks like it will be a duel between Trump and DeSantis

Why do so many people think DeSantis will abandon Florida halfway through his term? If he does he's just another politician.

Unless, of course, Trump is incapacitated and there is no one else to do the job.

You can dislike this very real possibility all you want, but anybody who witnessed the leftoid lamestream media and their handlers and witnessed how well the commie left played this election knows that they will ramp up the pressure on Trump and trying to paint him as a loser. I would like for Trump to run and be successful, but it's not always possible, Trump made many mistakes in the past years and with the leftoid globalist marxists and the commie media you cannot make any. It's just reality. It's possible he will muscle through it, but in the case he doesn't make it there are other who could take his place. With all the cheating going on he basically will need each and every independent, plus maybe some leftoids leaving the plantation

Trump/De Santis (unlikely to happen) or Trump/Lake would be good tickets. Besides De Santis, Youngkin could be a good contender as well. Maybe Rick Scott. Anybody else? Rand Paul would be great but civil, libertarian leaning conservatives often get eaten alive by the leftoids with their smear tactics.

We're slowly headed to a Soviet style collapse - revolution.

Yes, I also get the feeling that the US is going to repeat the Soviet Union's problems of 1989.

mell says

Trump/Lake

I'd vote for that.

The good thing about Trump possibly getting a second term is that he can pick a competent VP this time. Traditionally, presidents have picked incompetent VP's like Biden. I think that's to mitigate the possibility of getting replaced by one's own VP.

mell says

I would like for Trump to run and be successful,

Trump is successful! I would say that he is the best actor the political theatre has seen in my lifetime. Appalled, inspired, or amused you have to admit Trump puts on a great show.

I would vote for a Trump and Kari Lake ticket in a heartbeat.

mell says

Trump/Lake would be good tickets.

I LIKE IT! The stolen election campaign. They don't even have to say it because everyone will say it for them.

Onvacation says

Dave Chapelle described Trump pretty well in his SNL routine, except possibly for implying that Russia had something to do with Trump's first election. The Democrats beat that one to death in spite of an utter lack of evidence. They just hate Trump and hate Russia, so they lumped them together.

Or Pence! Where did that dickhole come from?

Trump and Kari Lake

Both know how to play the media. I'm liking this team more.

Of course the deep state would have to assassinate them.

“They lied to us about the mRNA shots.” - Gov. Ron DeSantis

Patrick says

https://nitter.pussthecat.org/Takeactioncan/status/1595885011663716353

I'd be cautious with DeSantis.

Look into his earlier history. Maybe he found some balls, but he was an Israeli firster ass licker at one point. I suspect he's just a politician trying to rise in ranks that has no real values or convictions. I would be happy to be incorrect.

DeSantis might be better than Trump.

I doubt he would allow Kanye to bring Catboylover Fuentes to potentially embarass him.

richwicks says

I'm cautious about all of them, including Trump.

I just want results, real resistance to the Pfizer-woke oligarchy.

Gov. De Santis: Liberals Who Buy Into Covid Ideology ‘Most Gullible People In the World’

Liberals who put masks and syringes as their Twitter profile and build their whole identity around conforming to Big Pharma propaganda have been sold a lie, according to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who says “They lied to us about mRNA shots.”

“It was basically the current thing. People would put in their Twitter profile a mask and a syringe, and that was their identity. It was ridiculous,” said DeSantis. “I think you’ve seen ideology placed over data and evidence.”

“They lied to us about the mRNA shots. They said if you take it you will not get Covid. That is false. That is not true. And they continue to say, even now when the evidence is so overwhelming, not only is that not true, people who have multiple boosters, you are definitely at risk of getting it.”

“And then they will say something like, six weeks of masks will end Covid. So that’s what they claim. It doesn’t happen. And then what they’ll do is they will kind of move the goalposts and say ‘Well, only 95% wore it’, and they will kind of shift, because they never ever want to admit their ideology was incorrect.”

So, uhhhhhhhhh, when is he going to start a criminal investigation into just about any aspect of this????????

I'm starting to think instead of a Race or Class war, we'll have a Gender War. Unmarried Pompous Urban Single Females and Welfare Black Women vs. almost everybody else.

Nope, not a race or class war, and not a gender war.

We're slowly headed to a Soviet style collapse - revolution.

Except there were no revolution when USSR collapsed: it got quietly dissolved by the people in power who stayed in power. And are still in power in half of the former republics, especially, of course, in Russia in Belarus.

DeSantis on report that Apple is threatening to remove Twitter from its App Store:

"That would be a huge, huge mistake, and it would be a really raw exercise of monopolistic power that I think would merit a response from the United States Congress."

https://bigleaguepolitics.com/florida-governor-ron-desantis-capitulates-to-disney-works-to-give-them-back-their-special-tax-breaks/

“It’s easier to shift policy when you don’t have to defend the old policy,” said Florida state representative Randy Fine, a Republican who authored the legislation to revoke Disney’s special tax breaks. “[Former Disney CEO Bob] Chapek screwed up, but Bob Iger doesn’t have to own that screw-up.”

Democrats, of course, are happy that DeSantis and Republicans in the Florida state legislature are capitulating to Disney, claiming that these corporate special privileges are necessary for economic growth.

DeSantis selling out?

Does anyone think for one second that DeSantis is going to file charges for election interference against FBI agents????????????

I would put zero faith in the man.

https://www.theflstandard.com/democrat-politician-agrees-with-desantis-calls-rejected-ap-course-trash/

TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA — One of Governor Ron DeSantis’ most vocal critics supports the state’s decision to reject the College Board’s AP African American Studies course for high schoolers. When asked his thoughts on the recent controversy, Leon County Commissioner Bill Proctor blasted the course as “trash,” according to Tallahassee Reports.

“There is grave concern about the tone and the tenor of leadership’s voice from the highest spaces in our state being hostile to teaching of African American history. Well frankly I’m against the College Board’s curriculum,” Proctor said.

“I think it’s trash. It’s not African American history. It is ideology,” he continued. “I’ve taught African American history, I’ve structured syllabuses for African American history. I am African American history. And talking about ‘queer’ and ‘feminism’ and all of that for the struggle for freedom and equality and justice has not been no tension with queerness and feminist thought at all.”

I can't quite parse the last sentence, but I think I agree with it.

Patrick says

and all of that for the struggle for freedom and equality and justice has not been no tension with queerness and feminist thought at all.”

The curriculum acts like Civil Rights included fags and trannies from the beginning, and it didn't. I think that's what the guy was saying.

Blacks are still the most antihomosexual, antitrans group in the country by race.

DeSantis is great. I just want another term of Trump. I think Trump 2 will be alot more aware of the Swamp and Bureaucracy, and he'll be wiser in avoiding Bushies. Also, thanks to victories since 2016, we have a pool of salted recruits available to fill gaps. MAGA doesn't need to draw upon Bushtards to fill positions like it did in Trump I.

THEN, DeSantis.

When it comes to politics, we're all being played. Is the product of Yale, DeSantis, another cleaver creation that appeals to conservatives, but will, after elected, be another Bush type Neo-Con that is willing to serve their warmongering, globalist agenda? I don't know ... just asking. When it comes to politics, QUESTION everything and everyone, and that includes 'Operation Warp Speed' Trump.

Jeb Bush Heaps Praise on Prospect of DeSantis 2024: ‘I Think It Is’ His Opportunity to Seek Higher Office

There's two angles:

1. They know that we consider their endorsement the Kiss of Death, so this will divide MAGA and allow a Democrat with Neocon Foreign Policy to win.

2. They think/know they can control DeSantis.

Here's another angle:

By the time a person makes it to the high office of Governor in a major State, he is owned by an awful lot of powerful people. His being schooled at Yale is a red flag for me.

I like a lot of things about him, and a lot of things that he has done. But experience makes me extremely cautious about trusting any politician.

The former for sure. Also notice if this happens on the leftoid demonrat side they stamp out the competitor quickly with media blitz defamation and rigged voting, leaving them at a few percent and discouraging others from doing the same by making them a canceled pariah, even after defeat. Left/demonrats = modern kgb

THEN, DeSantis.

Florida needs DeSantis to finish at least his first term.

https://graymirror.substack.com/p/acorns-for-the-culture-war

It cost $200 million to elect the Governor—a young and vigorous man, with the finest academic and military pedigrees. It might cost a billion dollars to elect him President. What, objectively, is all this money buying? Another Southern statesman, a few years ago, gave away the game:

Conservatism is a party which never conserves anything. Its history has been that it demurs to each aggression of the progressive party, and aims to save its credit by a respectable amount of growling, but always acquiesces at last in the innovation. ...

Indeed we are about to win, Iron Ron is killing woke in Florida and in ‘25 will kill it nationwide, we’re almost at a turning point…

There is a greediness, a wishful thinking, to this delusion. You fools! The Pilgrims were leftists! Why do you think they started Harvard? It’s true that Iron Ron’s name doesn’t end in a vowel. But it might as well. He means well. He even went to Harvard. But in the end he’s just visiting, and so is all of conservatism—which is the postwar fake opposition of the “progressive party,” aka the New Deal.

Isn't he already in his second term?

Patrick says

Conservatism is a party which never conserves anything.

"Conservatism" is not about resisting change. Lots of stuff Conservatives want to change. Conservatives changed slavery. Conservatives want to end massive illegal immigration, want to change woke policies that put dangerous criminals back on the street, want to stop the endless wars, and so on.

You're right. He should finish his second term before he runs for prez.

https://worldisraelnews.com/report-ron-desantis-has-decided-to-run-for-president-in-2024/

Looks like DeSantis has the EGO on full blast. Thinks he can beat Trump. Maybe he can but Only with help from the media. The thing is that as soon as anyone but Trump wins the primary the full force of the media will switch to that “victor.” the media vilification will start in earnest on the victor if it is not Trump winner of primaries.

If Trump can’t win the general election there is no “conservative “ who can.
