For no other reason, than this ticket gives the GOP ticket the best chance at winning. There is no substitute for victory

All feelings and personal idealogies aside, if the Republicans behaved liked Democrats, and actually found it useful to win, then they would figure out away to being these two camps together and make it happen.

Furthermore, this easily sets DeSantis up as the de facto 2028 canidate. Otherwise he is going to be termed out in 2026, and depending who the VP is in 24, there is a good chance that canidate will leap frog his 2028 ambitions.

I know, all.of us on the right (myself included) like to critique every detail about every canidate and various issues. But ultimately we do need political power to even think about wielding said political power. But more importantly, what we really need is to neuter the deep state gestapo from interfering with local political action where real change can occur. I'm less interested with what a Trump/DeSantis ticket can do... and much more interested about what an uninterrupted Ken Paxton AG office can do.

Rons only chance at 28 is to take the VP spot

He knows this and why he begged for a meeting with Orange to apologize

I have no idea why people believe this. Trump is still Trump, so no matter how he performs half the country will be sick of him after another 4 years. It will be an uphill battle for any Republican, but his VP will be dead in the water.

Being Trumps vp is a death sentence to your political aspirations. This is not a debate.

Imagine the mental gymnastics some posters would have to jump through if this ends up being the pick?

Never give up a governorship for a VP position. It makes no sense at all.

Where does this line of thinking come from? He got destroyed in the primary, but you think he gives the GOP a better chance? Common sense says the guy that whipped everyone else in the primary has the best chance. What am I missing?

Republicans aspire to lose. That's how they and the Democrats have agreed to play this game. In the end they're on the same side, which is opposite the People and the Constitution.

quote:

DeSantis up as the de facto 2028 canidate

If we don't get it right in November, there's not going to be a 2028. The country will be gone. We'll have 50M people from south of the border and a million or so from Palestine. They will all be getting hundreds of billions in free stuff every year, ripped from you at the point of a gun. But people want to keep making excuses for losers like Mike Johnson and will just keep electing Republicans, and Democrats, and won't use the ballot box to purge Congress.

I'm amazed that people are still clinging to the two party system after what we've seen, especially since the midterms. The two parties have moved in lock step.

Only one person in the Senate, on the ballot in November, deserves any consideration and that's Hawley. Only 7 in the House: Biggs, Crane, Rosendale, Goode, Gaetz, MTG, Massie. The last two have finally seen the light on Speaker issues.

That's 8 out of about 470 on the ballot. About 1.7%. And people will just keep voting for the same cast of characters as they destroy the nation.

We can’t have 2 candidates from the same state. Trump and Desantis are both Florida citizens.

Just being objective, a more moderate person from a swing state makes much more sense.

Trump has clearly moved to the center, and he wants to shy away from any image that he's a ultra right extremist or anything. He did terrible with women and he needs to at least do a little better there.

Plus there is the hoops he needs to jump through electorally just to make it happen.

Desantis and Trump should work together and campaign together in ultra red states, however.

Are you aware of the ramifications of having two people from the same state on the ticket?

DeSantis would be the best no doubt.

It may beeter for him to be at arms length. We need RDS for 28 and 32.

No sense in Rob catching blowback when the media goes after Trump.

DeSantis makes the least sense, dumbass. He’s exactly like Trump just in a different and often times weirder suit. He brings nothing new to the ticket that will ease the minds of on the fence white women. Trump needs to pick someone who will relax concerns that the middle independents have of him and DeSantis does nothing for that.

No need for Trump to select a globalist RINO Bush-wannabe cuck like Meatball Ron.

I like the idea of DeSantis as Veep. I like the idea of him being the future. I think he’d be the Two in the One-Two punch the party needs in order to change. Trump is moving the GOP in spirit to America First. DeSantis is implementing actual changes in law and policy at the ground level.

Good governor should stay governor, finish his term.
You can't have any Presidency if you don't finish your Governorship.

Good governors and state AGs should all stay where they are, they'll be needed.

If you think about it.. Trump and DeSantis were both actually pretty cordial to each other during the election.

The only things trump really bashed desantis about was his shoes and stupid petty things. I think that was part of their plan the entire time

DeSantis would be a poor choice. He may be independent at the state level, but at the federal level he will be controlled. Besides that, he brings as much energy, that motivates people to vote for you, as Jeb had. I mean Haley beat him.

This fall DeSantis, should be covering the debates on fox.
