Should it be Trump or DeSantis in 2024?
American Thinker ^ | November 29, 2022 | Edward Mike

Should it be Trump or DeSantis in 2024?  The answer lies in these four words: Form Always Follows Function.  For example, if you’re shopping for a new vehicle, you must consider where the vehicle will typically be driven and for what purpose.  If you would buy a new rifle, you must consider what you plan to shoot with it.  The form must be matched to serve the function.

A classy Corvette wouldn’t be a good choice in the northern mountains.  Given the likelihood of blizzards and rocky back roads, a four-wheel-drive pickup will suit you better. Sure, they aren’t as classy looking and don’t get good mileage, but they are many times over more likely to get you where you need to go.

In a story about elephant hunting, the hunter reported that the tracks he followed were two feet wide.  Think of a large tree, two feet in diameter, thumping down every elephant step! That trusty deer rifle wouldn’t do if you’re planning to hunt elephants.  Elephant-hunting merits the biggest caliber you can find.  Sure, that ammunition is very expensive, and your shoulder will remember the kick.  But an elephant at 30 feet dictates a powerful gun.  Form always follows function.

Apply those two examples to managing a functional society.  What do we mean by a functioning society?  Instinctively, we know what that implies for us.  It works smoothly and allows every individual citizen to pursue his happiness.  These values are expressed in our Declaration of Independence (the sacredness of individual lives and the liberty that allows everyone to fulfill their potential), and the Bill of Rights in the Constitution (matching the laws of nature and of nature’s creator).  A functional society rests on the individual family unit, which is the cornerstone and model of society.  Individuals contribute responsibly what they

"I think Ron DeSantis is great. Considering Trump’s successor, I can’t come up with a better man. And, to belabor our analogy, in four more years Trump may have smoothed out those roads enough so that a front-wheel-drive sedan will do. For now, we need all Trump’s four-wheel-drive muscle."

As long as you have voting that last a month, ballot harvesting, and mail in voting, it wouldnt matter if Ronald Reagan was brought back to life and he ran again, he wouldn’t win

DeSantis would be foolish to run now as Trump is gonna smoke the whole pack. He should work with other GOP governors to help them with election integrity as he will benefit by it if/when he runs in 2028.

DeSantis if we want to win the general

Too many center, center right, center left, undecides, etc even though this pile of voters get smaller each election season, they still pretty much decide elections, will not ever vote for Trump again.

DeSantis would be a fresh face to this block, young man (political wise) with a record of leadership in Florida. Something the Democrats DO NOT HAVE going into 2024. They have zero success to point to on their bench.

DeSantis isn’t 100 percent perfect, he still needs to develop political Charisma, be able to tell a relateable story and connect with the blue collar voters, this will be his challenge, and if he does that, he will be President.

If De Santis runs and legitimately wins the primaries, I’ll support him. By legitimately, I mean not colluding with the media moguls, anti-Trumpers, etc., to concoct some phony scandal or other dirty tricks to take Trump out.

If Trump wins I’ll be more than glad to vote for him a 3rd time.

The media’s biggest fear is that it might be a Trump/DeSantis ticket. That’s why they are working so hard to create a divide between the two.

Does it really matter? We have literally lost all the red states that matter in the electoral count. If Arizona hasn’t taught us anything, then we are stupider than we thought! There will never be another Republican president ever again in the history of the US. Not until we take over those states that used to be red. Without those states, consider it a communist RAT country. The elitist establishment have perfected fraud to the maximum sphere! And there is nothing to stop them from stealing and cheating every election cycle the American people.. Absolutely nothing!

I know over 100 Trump supporters who would not vote for him in 2024 in a primary election.

If he won the nomination we would vote for him but I think its going to be a terrible war that will split the GOP. Then we get the Rat party again.
