Trump has repeatedly hinted that he would pursue another run for the White House in 2024, while DeSantis has stayed quiet on the issue.

Anyone who thinks DeSantis is “the guy”, needs to watch a DeSantis rally. He does that Hillary Clinton fake yell into the microphone thing. Words are coming out like talking points thrown into a blender. He is boring as hell.

The donor class of R flavor wants their cheap labor neo-feudalism just like that of the D flavor. https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2022/11/06/desantis-megadonor-billionaire-head-of-citadel-investments-ken-griffin-explains-why-he-purchased-ron-desantis-for-2024-and-what-he-expects-from-his-investment/

First of all, our nominees for president are not determined by "mega-donors" like this Ken Griffin, whoever he is.

Secondly, we have a long string of primaries and caucuses for the 2024 candidate to slog through, which are still over a year away. Nobody gets annointed, they are going to have to go through the grueling process.

If Trump runs, good luck to anybody who goes against him. We saw what happened in 2016 with the 17 other candidates. Trump outworked, outsmarted and decisively beat all of those so-called professional, career politicians. Many of them never recovered. Has anybody heard from the likes of John Kasich, Jeb Bush, Bobby Jindal and Carly Fiorina since? To name a few of those who got utterly demolished.

Interesting dynamic now between Trump and Biden with regards to declaring for 2024. I think if Trump declines then Biden will as well. But if Trump declares I think Biden’s ego will push him back into the race. So who blinks first?

The campaign environment in 2020 was abnormal, to say the least. I think in a conventional campaign Trump would have mopped the floor with Biden. But they were able to hide Biden behind the COVID panic and he held on for a close win.

But his presidency halfway through the term has clearly been a disaster, so I would think Trump would be favored in a rematch at this point. But if the economy rebounds in the second half of Biden’s term, it would be a tough race for Trump.

Republican mega-d--k's last two big donations have been to Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski.

Watch your step, Kenny, that GameStop class action suit still has your name in it.

Is this one of the same guys who required GOP fealty to illegal immigration and amnesty long before Trump came onto the scene to get his money? like nearly all GOP donors?

Pardon me if I don’t care what the Establishment Oligarchy want.

DeSantis has made Florida into a solid red state in his first term as Governor. What happens if he runs for the presidential office and leaves Fla to drift back into a blue state? All of the newcomers to Fla are not conservatives. Fla needs DeSantis, and he needs a second term as gov for the experience needed for the US presidency. I hope he does not put any trust or hope for any political advancement with the RINOs who are courting him. They lie and obfuscate as well as the communist dems. As is obvious to political watchers, DeSantis is a potential Judas goat for the power seeking RINO globalists.

I would like DeSantis more if he openly denounces Ken Griffin
for being the douchebag that he is.

Who the hell made you King Griffin? Get your rear end back to Chicago! We the voters will determine who will run for POTUS.

Take your billions and get out of Miami you conceited arrogant Chicago jerk.

2028 is DeSantis’s for the taking. It will take a minimum of 12 years to undo the damage done since Biden took office. Trump once, DeSantis twice.

Ken Griffin can go pound sand.

DeSantis Telling Donors He Won’t Challenge Trump in 2024, Per Report

Sources told me DeSantis recently indicated to donors that he would not challenge Trump for the Republican nomination. “He’s led them to believe he will not run if Trump does,” a Republican briefed on the donor conversations told me. Another source told me DeSantis’s calculus is that, at age 44, he can easily wait until the next presidential cycle, so why risk a brutal primary fight against a pugilist like Trump? “He can walk into the presidency in 2028 without pissing off Trump or Florida,” the source said.

Where is Trump more powerful? Being able to influence so many state elections or as president? I dare say he is more powerful out of office. And I just am not hopeful that the democrats will ever lose the presidency again. Their cheating is so pervasive and their bureaucracy is so powerful they don’t need to worry about it. Who will stop them? Mitch? The FBI? It’s going to have to start small and get the bureaucrats and state offices cleared out. And Trump is showing he has a powerful political machine to do that.

Trump needs to go away. For awhile, at least.
