But he needs the GOP nomination first, and no one gets that as long as Trump is around because I just can't see Trump ever passing up the chance to run for the GOP nomination as long as he's alive.
It's too bad. DeSantis has the intellectual capacity and actually wants to stop wokeism and Marxism, which if unchecked will continue to destroy America.
As for DeSantis and his appeal, if one has been following critical race theory and how it's being forced into schools and the garbage hate that children are being taught at this very minute, then one will understand the appeal of DeSantis. He was the first Governor to come out and say "not in my house" with that racist Marxist tripe.
He also was the first Governor to say, back in mid-2020, that his state "will never do lockdowns again" because businesses and people have a right to liberty and individual decisions.
For those two reasons alone, it is no surprise he has risen to prominence and is the clear second-choice among GOP voters to Trump when it comes to presidential preference.
For those that believe Kamala must be stopped at all costs, DeSantis is the choice imo. He will appeal to moderates, suburban women and independents in a way that Trump simply cannot do. That is not necessarily a view held by everyone, but if one wants to be honest about what it takes to win a general election and stop the Marxists, then one should be looking to DeSantis over Trump. But it will be a moot point if Trump decides to run b/c DeSantis is smart enough to know it would be impossible to defeat an actively running Trump in a GOP primary.
If you really believe winning the popular vote is meaningless than tell us why it’s ok for the governors that you tout to make national policies,
Nah it’s not meaningless it’s the reason there’s so much divisiveness in this country, a President or any other official elected with less than a full mandate will generally be a failure and Trump is full proof of that.
What is actually happening now is tyranny by the minority and is just plain nonsense, our democracy is in trouble because it is being overrun by liars and grifters and there's a large group of morons being led around by these con men and their false promises.
Team Blue savaged Every Democrat's Favorite Republicans (McCain and Romney) in 2008 and 2012. They'll go after DeSantis the same way. Trump's foibles are incidental.
Clearly you either don't understand the electoral college as well as you think you do or you're just too dense to process the underlying rationale for it.
The reason for it is as valid today as it ever was, maybe even more so with how polarized the country has become. Back then Southern states were worried about losing their voices to, and having their values run over by, more populous Northern states. So the Founding Fathers established a system designed to balance the will of the overall population with the rights of individual states. Today it is a collection of large and small states worried about NY and CA driving policy for everyone in perpetuity.
The electoral college has historically forced candidates to a certain degree of moderation and compromise by requiring them to appeal to a variety of different constituencies. In its absence, we'd be living in some version of the Hunger Games, with a handful of capital cities dictating policies for all of the outlying Districts. Maybe we could consider FL or TX as District 13, lol.
Better yet, unlike that whack job Trump, DeSantis handles the press in a very straightforward and calm manner. He frequently holds press conferences and takes all questions, including from snarky ankle biters writing for Miami and Tampa left leaning rags. He is hard to rattle and is always ready with the data underlying his chosen action(s).
Net-net I think he would be a great candidate for President. I'm only sorry that we will lose him as Governor of FL as he has been doing a fantastic job.
I will never, ever, change my handle here. I will never, ever stop posting here. I will always be around to oppose your radical politics, highlight your already evident ignorance, and call you on your bullshit.
You follow me around attacking me at every turn you sent me threatening pms you have a history of posting the most inappropriate bigoted things you trash every thread yo enter, you pathetic little twat, to have posted on my reviews lies that I don’t even bother to respond to even founder told you to put up or shut up I guess you can’t help yourself I own you and I really don’t want to be bothered by you but you are the biggest loser on this website
Leave me alone I will put you back on ignore, if you continue to harass me I will send those bigoted pms you sent to me to founder and see if he has something to say you have to be aware of the words you have used and you have called me a kike a porch monkey and more
I wasn't too excited about him or his Trumpism in 2018, but I did vote for him. Like Trump, I have been pleasantly surprised by his actions and policies in office. If that other lib out of Tallahassee had won that very tight election, Florida could have been as bad or worse than Michigan or New York.
The press will continue to believe that they can damage DeSantis by tying him to Trump, but that actually raises his stock in FL (Trump won this state in every contest); and in any event, DeSantis's track record will prove his leadership skills and qualify him for POTUS when he is ready.
Hard to believe it was a close race with a bisexual found inebriated in a hotel room with a gay male escort that had o.d.'ed on crystal meth. Y'all dodge a bullet on that one.
Of attendees who responded to the survey, 74.12 percent said they would approve of DeSantis for president in three years, compared with 71.43 percent who said the same of Trump. DeSantis won 275 votes, while Trump got 265.
The duo had wide leads over the rest of the sprawling field, with Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) coming in third at 42.86 percent approval.

Interesting, but I still can't see Trump standing down for 2024. Too bad, DeSantis is better equipped intellectually to combat wokeism, not to mention far younger, more likely to get the voters needed to win a general election, etc.
However, this idiot Biden admin and a hopelessly incompetent democrat-held congress is going to give the Republicans a landslide in 2024. Expect both houses to swing solidly Republican in the midterms.
That disgusting Jabba-The-Hut-looking romance writer Stacey Abrams even caved in on it.
I guess over the top theatrics is what people want these days.
And if he wants it, I don't see how anyone stops him.
It's bad news for the country. Now the Republican party will simply remain all about his personal antics instead of offering a winning and consensus alternative to the radical left agenda. DeSantis could have provided that.
A while back, the media made it look like the Georgia case where Trump asked the sec. of state to find him 11,780 votes would be the smoking gun that surely took him down, but he just keeps on keeping on.
For me as a Conservative I def see DeSantis as the best choice but would love to see Trump in office again as an America-sized middle-finger to the fucking-left – problem is Trump brings too-many negatives but then again he had the balls to do a lot of things in his 4-years that likely no other politician would have had the balls to do (moving the U.S. Israeli embassy to Jerusalem; taking on China; renegotiating trade-deals; making the EU pay their fair-share; getting peace-treaties in the middle-east; etc) – but then again Trump brings a lot problems on himself and made a lot of enemies including on the Republican side – and he puts his foot in his mouth too-much for a politician – Trump needs to do as Teddy Roosevelt did (“Speak softly and carry a big stick”).
So I feel Trump w/ his bombastic don’t give a f*** style can get more done but also cause a lot of drama – DeSantis is a good choice as someone willing to take on the tough issues and not back down but also knows how to play the political game and knows the political game better than Trump.
Trump would be 78 ys/o in 2024 – IDK if he’d want to go to war again – perhaps he can see himself being more effective out of office, or focus on rebuilding his business empire which looks like it took a big hit in his time in office – I would not be surprised if ran and would not be surprised if he didn’t; either b/c he sees other pursuits more worthwhile or perhaps the GOP may convince him to stay out and support DeSantis; or perhaps run w/ DeSantis as a VP but IDK if DeSantis would be up for that?
(Tho I guess not as amusing as the 2016 “Feel the Johnson” from the libertarian party)
