Newsweek - How DeSantis could out-Trump Trump all the way to the White House.

His every utterance seems calculated to send progressives into a frenzy. He's one of the most prolific political fundraisers in America. His endorsements of other like-minded America First conservative candidates help those beneficiaries pull ahead in crowded primaries. And the worst-kept secret in American politics is that he wants to swap out his Sunshine State address for 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue as soon as possible.
No, the politician is not Donald Trump but rather Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who lately seems bent on executing just about every page of the former president's political playbook—only with a sunnier demeanor, less offensive language and fewer of the personal antics that make Trump so polarizing. At 43, the once little-known backbench congressman has transformed himself into perhaps the hottest, most consequential political figure of his generation so far—possibly the only one capable of going head-to-head with Trump for the GOP nod in 2024 and with a shot at taking the presidency away from Joe Biden or whoever the Democrats nominate. The only real question is whether he'll run against Trump if the former president enters the race or risk his flame burning out by waiting until 2028 or beyond.
"He is Trump without the boorish behavior and name calling, the insults and the bullying—the very reasons Trump lost suburban women in 2018 and lost a significant number of college-educated suburban men in 2020," says Jim Dornan, a veteran GOP strategist who worked on Trump's 2015 exploratory campaign committee and this year is advising Republican candidates in Oregon, Maryland and California. "On the Republican Party circuit, whether it's in D.C .or the suburbs, DeSantis is the first name that comes up when people start talking about 2024."
quote:
DeSantis, who is up for re-election this fall and holds commanding polling leads over his likely Democratic opponents, does not do interviews that focus on his national ambitions, his communications staff tells Newsweek. But in more than a dozen interviews with people who know him personally or have observed his career at close range, there is little doubt he is positioning himself to run for the presidency. The timing is all that's up in the air.

They want there to be infighting in the GOP that simply isn't there.
They know that if Ron and Don don't face each other in the GOP primary, then one of them is going to win it all.

You really believe that?

I don't really care that DeSantis is classier and less crude than Trump or whatever the common refrains are.
I like that DeSantis can articulate why we believe what we believe, and he can do it on the spot in the face of hostile opposition. Perhaps that isn't significant to most conservatives, but it's something I care about.

has Ron really made that promise anyway? It gets referenced all the time but I've never seen it.
I think it makes some sense, but I've never seen someone link an article/video where he agrees to defer to Trump

He was Huckabee and Bachmann's main campaign guy.
Do you think he works for free? He was contracted to start the listening tour for DeSantis. The agreement is that he acts like he is paid by someone else.
It is how it is done to appear as if the people are begging him and he is humble & doesn't want to run-but he does and will.
Or the GOPe paid for it.
Bottom-line at the GOPe secret pow wow conventions on luxury islands they planned DeSantis and probably who his VP will be.
He has been ordered by the GOPe to run just to stop Trump. The GOPe and Governors Association probably already have a DeSantis Gov of Fla. replacement ready.
!Jeb!, Romney, Turtle, Graham will all act dumb like they didn't campaign for him.

When Trump loses again, don't get mad when Lou Pai and I say "I told you so."
Posted on 5/27/22 at 8:21 pm to Bunk Moreland
Trump won't lose. They won't let him into the inner sanctum...As they craft rules/re write rules for their club all the time. Ronna Romney probably has a set of rules that no orange man cannot run already.
They will not let him in the primaries much less WH. There is probably plan A to Z to stop him. If the J6th committee doesn't forbid Trump. They will craft a rule that impeached Presidents cannot run, or orange people not allowed.
They have a plan or two. They won't ever let Trump happen again. It set them back 4 years from globalism.
If Trump sues them, no court can dictate to the elite GOP club.
DeSantis is the best we will get; unless Elon or someone so maga rich they can tell them to GFT runs. People need to realize DeSantis is funded by the GOP and Bush money & will be controlled by the GOP in policies. It is a different ballgame than Governing a State.
How far turtle and gang go to fake a MAGA policy will be interesting.
To protect against an Elon or Trump running third party they will allow DeSantis to sound MAGA AF until he is in. Then fire up the climate change, Paris Accords, speeches.

I hope that Trump runs lol.
The guy is despised by half of America.
It will make Biden winning a lot easier because many voters would rather crawl over broken glass than vote for him.
That's not a feeling many voters have about DeSantis or Romney or any other previous presidential candidate. Trump is the most polarizing politician I've seen in a long while.
