Based Florida man.
I would love to see him as the Republican nominee for President in 2024.
The man is pragmatic, polished, able to win over Independents and way less likely to unite the Democrats than Trump.
I like his style which is why I'd rather he stay as governor. We need more governors like him. They can resist a tyrannical DC. But he should announce that if he ever loses his seat in Florida he'll immediately run for president. Dems worship central authority and would be afraid of that. Reps should pivot to decentralized control and shrinking the federal government.
the establishment has been trying to pit him AGAINST drumpf for 24. So you know there is some underridding reason that they WANT him to run.
Idk what it is, yet.
I've been watching the media rant and rave about DeSantis and he's by far my favorite possible 2024 contender. He was the one leading the charge in opposing the riots and the disruption to people's lives over the past 2 years. It's going to be tough for the Dems and their mouthpieces in the media to get people freaked out about DeSantis after what they did to Trump (not that they won't try of course).
McCain and Romney were "so called actual Republicans" and they sucked ass.
Trump is a anti-war 90s Democrat with right wing views on immigration and guns and yet this specific platform is what the GOP needed to be competitive in the rust belt states and actually win a national election.
Bush policies of war mongering, unfettered "free trade" of globalization and austerity measures nearly led to the complete extinction of the GOP.
I will always give Trump credit for shifting the Republican party to be more populist.
DeSantis is great because he has learned to adopt Trump's good populist policies while his delivery is polished and way better suited to win Independent votes.
DeSantis is great because he is not Generic Republican.
You could do much worse than "anti-war 90s Democrat with right wing views on immigration and guns."
We are literally doing much worse than that RIGHT NOW.
I voted for Trump twice but I have to admit he is abrasive and turns people off. Desantis wouldn’t have that issue.
I think desant with more power would lead like mccain, just imo
Exactly why I feel we should not run Trump for the third time in 2024.
He has great policies but his delivery rubs too many normies who care about optics the wrong way.
