Nonetheless, I see the virtues of DeSantis as well. He has been extraordinarily good at pushing through his agenda, and especially giving Disney a bloody nose is something I loved.
It's okay to be wrong.
Besides, you're not american, so your opinion can be disregarded.
That said, it's still DeSantis. If you've seen any of his speeches, he's more measured, which is what the neocons/squishy fag independents want. Trump has pissed too many people off, and won't get the nomination. He'll also back DeSantis, because he wants to play kingmaker and have influence. Running third party guarantees dems have more power, and he has less (because people will rightfully be pissed at him).
Imagine if Trump could put aside his ego and accept a VP nomination. Can you see this team in the White House?
Trump ought to bow out and stump for DeSantis.
It's only OK to be wrong. People will forgive you for being wrong, but never for being right.
Measured and boring.
Don't pretend that Trump is any sort of rational actor. He's not going to bow out gracefully if he loses.
Wrong, outdated, and bad faith. You have clearly not watched any of his speeches and pressers in the last 2 years.
Polling already shows that support for Trump is declining, and DeSantis is not a generic Republican.
Trump fucked over his base by tanking the Georgia special elections and giving us total Democrat control of government these past 2 years. Trump only cares about Trump, and no one else, including the interests of the "base". Trump went hard on China for a minute when he thought it would get him votes, and then when it wasn't having the effect he hoped for, he backed down bigtime.
This is completely untrue. Alienating the Right wing base like that will guarantee him a jail cell. It will also make him universally reviled and ruin his legacy. Trump has on multiple occasions since 2021 agreed to be a "team player" and try to act as a power broker within the Republican Party instead of trying to go 3rd party.
He has almost all the benefits of Trump, without the massive downsides. If he is the nominee, he will win in a landslide.
I don't, because they are boring. I do watch clips, and I generally love what he has to say - but he remains uncharismatic and boring.
Oh well, if polls say it, it must be true - Trump's performance taught us that.
There is nothing that connects DeSantis to the good old times under Trump. So yeah, generic.
Which is the same as any other politician.
The difference being is that he has burned his bridges and therefore cannot be co-opted. DeSantis may still be.
Trump is not a rational actor, which has been his strength for all these years. But this does guarantee that he will go out of his way to sabotage you if he is humiliated.
So don't. I know you are the king of wishful thinking, but the most disastrous outcome would be a situation like this. Be a good little boy for 4 years, then you can have your DeSantis.
Balderdash. More wishful thinking from you./
