“I’m in my mid-40s. [20]28, you know, maybe beyond that, I think that there’s a lot of runway,” DeSantis said Monday when asked if he would run for president. “Who knows? Like, you never know,” he told The Post’s Charles Gasparino during a moderated discussion, before launching into what sounded like a campaign pitch.
“Who took a state that had more Democrats than Republicans by 300,000 when he got elected [in 2018], and now has 1.5 million more Republicans?” DeSantis asked, referring to himself. “Who had a state that had a trillion-dollar economy and now has $1.8 trillion? Who has a state that had some school choice, now universal? A 50-year low in the crime rate? So we’ve got a good story to tell.” A Republican insider told The Post of the Florida governor that “it’s not been a secret he’s running.”
I'm not that keen on Vance. He sounds good occasionaly, but I know a lot more about DeSantis, and I'll tell ya - he's a no-nonsense, law-and-order conservative who's smart, intuitive and highly intelliegent. He'd make a great Commander in Chief, and a DeSantis/Rubio ticket would be perfect if he can pull it off.
That's just my opinion, nothing more. Juss' sayin...
Former Trump foe, like JD Vance?
ReplyDeleteI was very anti-Trump until I saw how he governed. I don't agree with him 100%, but he's correct more than he's wrong. I would definitely give DeSantis a chance. Especially if he doesn't try to sabotage the ticket.
Talk about inane headlines.
ReplyDeleteEvery candidate in the primaries was President Trump's foe.
The smart ones (like Desantis and Rubio) work with him

If DeSantis had just backed Trump in 2024 and waited until 2028 to run he would be a shoe-in for the Republican nomination.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how Vance feels about this.
ReplyDeleteDo you think DeSantis will get more cooperation out of Congress than Trump?
Since they're both from Florida, a Desantis-Rubio ticket would be highly problematic from a XII Amendment standpoint.
