2024 Republican Primary, should we have gone with Desantis?

Starting to think Desantis would have been the better choice over Trump. What y'all think?

He wouldnt have won so no he wasnt the better choice

DeSantis has consistently governed better than any Republican in recent memory.
That said, the guy should have been wiser on his timing. Dethroning Trump within the party was a tall order in that moment.
Should we have? Yes, but only a fraction would have pulled the lever for him. He was a lame duck against MAGA from the start, regardless of merit.

People will say he couldn’t have beaten Kamala but I find that pretty difficult to believe.

Florida would probably be blue too if he left two years ago. That’s a bright spot

2024 doesn’t matter anymore. DeSantis is the best hope for 2028 and the sooner everyone gets behind him, the better our chances for stopping the inevitable woke communist bullshite that’s about to slap us in the face once again.

Kamala was such a horrible candidate, the dead horse beats her

He would have won 2024 general election easily. Now 2028 will depend on how much voters can separate GOP as a whole from Trump. If Trump doesn’t resign and serves out the last 2 years, then he might still be a weight hanging on the neck of whoever the GOP nominee is

Hey dumbass, what should we do in 2032?

A debate between Kamala and DeSantis would have been a bloodbath. He would have slaughtered her.

2024 was the perfect time
-He had just won in 2022 by nearly 20%
-He would be termed out in 2026
-Biden was a disaster
-Trump’s hand-picked candidates had just shite the bed in several swing races
-Trump had worked hard to help the Dems win seats by hand-picking shite candidates
-If Trump won in 2024, likely no Republican would win in 2028 so he’d have to wait until 2032

Both Ron and Nikki would have beaten Kamala.

Would it have even been Kamala? Im sorry but the summer of Ron ruined a lot of you and this is just a bunch of what ifs
He didnt poll higher than Nikki so maybe she would have beaten him
He ran a terrible campaign but I assume that was a great learning experience
And lets not start the muh you hate Ron crap.

No. Desantis was a good choice, but the election required something like Trump's bombasticness to defeat VP Word Salad.
Also, this gave Desantis time to really underscore his potential with an extra term of solid results.

Trumps second term should have end so yeah. Bill gates and the Chinese hit us with Covid and a stolen election.
Ron is the obvious choice in 2028. Jd has an infatuation with brown chicks and Rubio is Cubano.

Yes, DeSantis is a better leader than Trump. Trump is a shallow, egotistical and very low IQ.
Posted on 11/6/26 at 6:22 am to Woodsman
Desantis was the guy who shut inbound highways down during Covid. Didn’t want Louisiana’s people coming into his state

Good point. Ron, unlike Trump, actually has a functioning brain and wouldn’t have agreed to debate Biden during the summer. He would’ve known that Dem leadership needed an excuse to swap in somebody more electable for Biden, and that was the point of the debate. The debates would’ve happened in the fall with Biden, giving them no time to swap him out. Dems would’ve lost more Senate and House seats as a result as Dem enthusiasm would’ve tanked.
