Path to the Polls: Is Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis still running for the White House?
news4jax ^ | Mar 11, 2024 | Bruce Hamilton

Not so long ago, former President Donald Trump said that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis was on his short list of vice presidential candidates.

Looking at all the things DeSantis has been doing since “abandoning” his presidential election campaign, I think he might think he still has a chance at being on the ballot in November.

But perhaps it’s that DeSantis thinks with the former president facing considerable legal jeopardy, he still has a chance.

It’s all speculation for sure! But it begins to make sense when you put everything together. And when you know the way DeSantis thinks.

Somebody told him they are going to take out Trump and the self-serving SOB wants to be there when they do.

I lean Trump. But IMHO it’s wise to have a plan B in case the fascist Dims do take out Trump.

What silliness. He has endorsed Trump and said he’s not getting back in the race (to the disappointment o many of his supporters.)

The Trump crowd said he needed to go back to Florida and do his job. That’s what he’s doing, and you’re attacking him for it and claiming it’s some sort of shadow campaign.

Think 2028. If Trump wins in November, he can’t run in 2028, and if he doesn’t, he’ll be too old. Someone has to be the candidate. The most effective governor in America would be ideal, especially since it’s VERY likely Gruesome is going to be the Democrat candidate, and we’ve already seen him beat Gruesome in a debate.

So is he still running? Not in 2024, but he has not ruled out running in 2028.

Remember, President Reagan lost four years before he won.

Trump is going to win the nomination.
This was just a trial run for DeSantis. He is probably setting up for 28.

He already endorsed Trump, and is back in Florida doing things that a Florida Governor does.

He only gets in if Trump drops dead before the convention.

“But IMHO it’s wise to have a plan B in case the fascist Dims do take out Trump.”

Or, in other, you are fine with the facist denying Americans their first choice and you search for ways to submit and comply.

Such a fighter. Wow!!!

Under no conceivable circumstance would I ever vote for DeSantis. None.

And I'm supposed to take the New York Times's word for ANYTHING?????? SERIOUSLY????

The New York Times saying it's so is just further proof that it's a lie.

It's simply non-factual. Please put down the Kool Aid.

Well of course it is. But Pavlov’s dogs will reliably drool when the bell is rung. This from the article:

“It’s all speculation for sure…”

Truer words were never spoken. The article contains the speculative musings of some rando, yet is enough to get the usual suspects around here in a larger

It’s early, but the 2028 election may very well be DeSantis vs Newsom.

FFS, Ron’s exit speech was the best audition for Secretary of Education in modern history and if he wants it, it should be his, as long as he agrees to close it and turn out the lights by 2026.

Jeez people; some mainstream media talking head pushes the right buttons and half the folks here immediately start attacking election allies. Not a good way to recapture the White House, folks.

If his purpose is to hand the ticket over to the Democrats, since he’ll NEVER get enough Trump voters, as is clearly Haley’s purpose, then I could see why he won’t go away.

Again, you’re simply not telling the truth. He is farther from the Bushies than Trump is. They hate him because he’s an effective leader for conservative policy. Trump hates him because he is popular for those policies. So he makes up lies and you folks gleefully repeat them.
