We might as well support Trump, because he is going to run even if he were to somehow lose the primary. There is no scenario where he doesn’t run.

So it’s either support him and maybe win, or don’t support him and 100% lose.

I really wish this were not the case and Trump had not chosen to run again and had thrown his support behind DeSantis. If that had happened we would of won in 2024 easily.

It makes no sense to endorse someone who is not running.

Why not endorse Santa Claus? He’s done far more for mankind.

The insights from Congressman Greg Steube are particularly revealing.

Those without TDS knew this all along — Trump is the right choice, and that DeSantis is a facile, Establishment alternative.

Trump has the support of millions. DeSantis has the supports of thousands. ‘Nuff said.

I live in Florida. Think DeSantis has been a good Governor. Better than most past Florida governors. But, not my first choice for President at this time.

Sure. and of course DeSantis wasn't running when he went to Iowa, New Hampshire and soon to South Carolina. And of course DeSantis wasn't running when he went to DC looking for endorsements.

If Trump hadn’t decided to run and DeSantis had gotten his support instead, I think he would of beat Biden like a drum.

Why would any sane person who had an election win stole from him, who was able to do the wonderful things he did on a massive scale ever decide not to run?

Your alternate reality was never going to occur, and eventually, his leanings towards the GOP-E and Globalists would have come out even without Trump in the picture and all those deplorables who came out for Trump in the millions would have just sat on the sidelines again.

The GOP is never going back to the GOP-E and Globalists. If it does, it will lose everytime.

This article is just another one claiming DeSantis is not really a people person.

Everyone isn’t lying. I rather doubt he could win. That said, I rather doubt the democrats will stop cheating and relinquish the WH in 2024

I live in Florida. My family is very politically active in our state. As a career military vet I am in touch with a great many veterans in the state and am active at the state-level American Legion and VFW.
One thing never discussed in the political news likely because they are not connected to this community in any way and unaware is, the level of disdain a great many Florida vets have for Governor Desantis. This is due to a series of campaign ads he ran trying to become governor the first time.
He ran TV ads and saturated the mailboxes all across Florida with ads associating himself with the SEALs. It was very obvious to the vets he was attempting to allude to Floridian civilians who know little about such things that he wanted those ads to give the impression he was a SEAL without actually saying he was. Vets reacted quite negatively to that saturation Ad Campaign. They referred to Desantis as that Jag Lawyer MF’er. And, accused him of a quasi-Stolen Valor ad campaign. To this day a great many have not forgotten those ads.

Psst.

I'm making the point that DeSantis wants to run even though he hasn't announced yet, and that his numerous moves show that.

Your request which can't be met, doesn't contradict the point.
