If topping the ticket is not practical, would you settle for VP? I’m talking about an active VP tasked with legitimate oversight of fraud, corruption, regulatory reform or tax reform, etc
In other words, Trump’s Rubio, but for domestic affairs.

I’m setting Rubio aside for purposes of discussion.

What are my options?

Many years ago, someone asked me if I would actually vote for Dan Quayle for president. My response: "Who's he running against? Ted Kennedy? Hell yes."

He would be better on the Supreme Court or US Senate . He is the strongest conservative we have in a higher power .

He would be underutilized as a VP. The Senate or a cabinet post like AG would be better use for his talent.

We don't need another senator, after being governor, who is into taking millions of taxpayer funds. We already have one of those.

Vp? Mmmmaybe but for who?

And as a governor, vp doesn’t seem like a fitting next spot for DeSantis. He’s earned his place as a chief.

Heck,
I wish DeSantis was president right now

He is JAG. He is not a constitutional scholar. He isnt Tom Cruz in a few good men. JAGs are generally paper pushers. Providing wills and signing off on Leave and earnings statements.

Advising SEALs on their ROEs.

SCOTUS is not a good fit, AG isnt really. SecNav, SecWar or any Pentagon job would be best. Where his UCMJ skills can be used...

Move to PA, GA, VA, and become Governor and clean it up. This is where he thrives.

TBH, I trust Desantis more than Rubio and Vance.
They seem to flow in the direction that is needed to get their positions or how they think they need to be for Maga.
I won't forget Rubio fighting for amnesty and being in the gang of 8 with McCain and that ilk. Vance having disdain for Trump and then becomes his VP is not comforting that he is solid on his principles or convictions.

I overlooked that as they were doing good work, but who will they turn into next? The both are solid conservatives in most things. But I just trust DeSantis more as being a solid conservative in what he has done in FL.

Same.

I was at some point, JD or bust. But I’m so blackpilled at the moment, re the entire Trump Admin and Congress. By contrast, I’m struggling with determining a specific time I’ve disagreed with RDS since he’s been re-elected governor.

I really wish he hadn’t run in ‘24. I think that decision will hurt him tremendously when he runs again.

JD is a chameleon that I'm not sure stands for anything. We hear that he is one of the few dissenters on Iran, but it feels like those stories are planted so he can wash his hands of it later.

He was the lone conservative in the race. He thought this would carry him. It didn't.

Posts like these are fricking hilariously revealing.

“I want the leadership, the efficiency, and the competence of Ron DeSantis….but for heaven’s sake he can NEVER BE POTUS because he ran against Trump.”

He’s not very conservative, he sent weapons to Israel to use in Gaza as a governor

Spot on! 90% in here will forget this though. They are easily distracted by shiny things and words.

yes. Foxes are the best at designing fox proof chicken houses.

Nothing will change until we put term limits in place. It takes a while to learn to fleece us.

Why does it matter? Do you think DeSantis supporters are going to stay home if he's not the nominee?
