I've said it before, when DeSantis first declared his intent to run as President. It was a bad move. He was the most popular governor in the US, he'd pushed great policies, he had the support of most Republicans. Now look at him. He should have publicly supported Trump, continued being a great governor instead of completely losing his focus on his job, sat this one out, and run in 4 years with the full support of the entire Trump base. By choosing otherwise, his future political career is now at risk. He will not win the nomination, and he should have quit weeks ago, or even long before. Did he really just ignore the letter from his colleagues telling him to get back to work at the public service job he was nominated for?
He was in a fucked up spot where he'd be out of the governor's office and irrelevant in 2028, but also running against Trump after an election that was obviously stolen from him and during an election where Trump either wins or dies in federal prison.
Why would he be irrelevant? He would have been elected as Governor again, at the very least, no doubt about it whatsoever. Or before his term ended, he could have openly declared his intent to run as President in the next election, and said that he would now spend the remaining time preparing for it, researching his future duties, becoming familiar with all the issues, in order to be the best President there can be. Even if the election itself happened 2 or 3 years later, he could have still remained relevant, just by showing up to various interviews and shows like Tucker's, Shapiro's, Crowder's or Info Wars. Basically doing a bit of what Vivek has been doing so successfully. He would have had options.
But instead, he made the worst tactical decision of all, and has made multiple blunders since then, on top of it.
He seems pretty level headed so for the life of me I can't figure out why he decided to run. I half think he was goaded in to it to harm his chances at being re-elected governor.
People are pissed at Florida for being a sane state but with the massive influx of people fleeing insane states it would not take much to push it blue. Doesn't matter who the Dems run if they get in there they will repeal fucking everything day 1.
I think the deep state whispered in DeSantis' ear that Trump wasn't going to be allowed to run, so he thought well I better position to be the #2 choice.
He thought Trump-lite would poll low since why not get the real thing, so he went after the never-Trump in order to secure the clear #2 position.
His problem is that there is no fallback second choice. Trump is so popular that nobody is in the #2 spot.
Like if it was 50 Trump / 30 DeSantis and Trump gets Kennedy'd the party would just hand it over to DeSantis before anybody could say otherwise. But when he's at 10% and tied with other also-rans, the Trumpers (assuming we're not in full-on civil war) will make it a contest and probably go for Trump-lite Ramaswamy.
He would have been term limited in Florida.
Oh? I see. Well, my point still stands. He would not be a nobody.
I think that's fair, but imagine Desantis as AG. If Trump is smart he will reconcile and use Desantis where he's good.
If DeSantis is smart, he'll try to reconcile with Trump and he'll provide the people a reason explaining why he was so hesitant to discredit the obviously bogus accusations levied against Trump. I think that comes before giving him any official position.
Also, although I'm not 100% on the specifics, isn't DeSantis still going to technically be Governor of Florida for several months after the presidential election? He should finish that term before he becomes AG, at least. It's what the people voted for.
What accusations has he been hesitant to discredit? I've always heard him calling out the legal attacks on Trump as being BS and saying he wouldn't let the state of Florida do that against him.
After all the attacks from Trump he'd seem like a pussy ala Ted Cruz. I think it would be smarter to say attacks from both sides have hurt our party and our chances to take America back- ask Trump if he's willing to let bygones be bygones, bury the hatchet and move forward since they have more in common than differences.
He refused to say whether he would pardon Trump. "If the facts fit" or something like that. Lawyer speak.
Don't disagree. Losing him in Florida would hurt, but we need someone who is going to come out swinging for AG. Tough call to make
AG seems like a big step down from Florida gov, is it not? I don't think it would be politically smart for Ron to take that position.
Agree with Trump needing to reconcile, problem is his personality is against that kind of thing. It's especially lame since Trump is whooping everyone in the polls combined so it's not even a tight race where you could justify the attacks as somehow being politically necessary. I think he could do it without losing too much face if he blamed his competitive nature, say something like "You know me, I love winning and I fight like hell because I know you need a tough fighter to stand up for you. But this fight with Ron isn't going to help you, the forgotten Americans, so we need to stop and focus on our real enemy."
AG moves him to national stage rather than just Florida Man. A step up in prestige and power for sure.
AG would be in charge of the FBI, incumbent Garland.
