Ron DeSantis has a good track record as governor, but I'm not so sure he's not using the Populist movement as a weapon for his own personal advancement. Trump has glaring flaws: mostly related to the fact that he sucks at figuring out how to build excellent staff or coalitions around him (instead he just has people compete for his attention). Vivek Ramaswamy I just don't trust: he comes out of absolutely nowhere and acts like a titan for populism, but I feel like he may be a plant?
Larry Elder? I know Larry Elder is a blood red conservative who's been doing this shit longer than any of them. Larry Elder was challenging the narrative of the Central Park 5 back when Trump was a 90's Democrat. Larry Elder has been quarreling with the Black Nationalist movement for decades. Larry Elder remembers when the Black conservative movement was basically just him, Clarance Thomas, and Thomas Sowell.
Just having Larry Elder on the stage is a win. He's going to show the normies what an actual anti-woke take looks like, how to make it eloquently, and how to fight the Left. Better yet, when Democrats start funding the Black National Socialist movement's Kristallnacht as a response to solidify the Left and burn down America in race riots; it will be Larry Elder pushing the absolute hardest back against them in the hardest possible ways, live on TV.
I don't even care if he wins. I don't care if he's doing this for a political appointment as VP, or if he's he's doing this to get more attention for a new book, his show, or the Epoch Times. Having him on the debate stage is a fucking win.
Bonus points if Trump calls him "Leisure Suit Larry"
Elder has decent conservative credentials and I actually like him.
Still I do think him running for CA governor during the CA recall fucked up the entire recall.
The CA GOP had a shot to atleast give Newsom a scare but once Elder joined the race, for some fucking reason Elder talked about him having the potential of replacing Dianne Feinstein's Senate seat with a conservative and that one statement spooked all of the soft Newsom disapprovers to eventually getting behind Newsom. That statement was a disaster and Elder was too earnest to avoid making that statement. He is sadly too nice.
Newsom ended up winning the recall by the same margin he won his first Gov election by. The recall ended up boosting Newsom's status.
I doubt Elder even makes the Presidential debate stage since from what I heard from local GOP members, the RNC this time will be instituting a polling requirement of something like atleast getting 5 percent to make the main debate stage.
My guess is that the only candidates who will poll well enough to even be on that main stage are Donald Trump, Ron DeSantis, Nikki Haley, Tim Scott and maybe Mike Pence if he actually runs.
Larry Elder is not going to make the main debate cutoff if the cutoff is 5 percent. If the cutoff is like the 2016 cutoff of one percent he will get in.
Honestly, I'm stoked.

I hope you are right. I’ve been a fan since the early 00s. I don’t see him getting far but you are right about his credentials

I’m wondering if he is hoping for a cabinet position
Maybe he wants a cabinet position or maybe he just wants to market his work to a larger audience.
Hard to guess what he really wants.
