There is nothing in such a pairing that can benefit DeSantis. He won't go for it, and he shouldn't.
And Trump has had too many people stab him in the back from his previous term as President. He would be extremely foolish to bring DeSantis into his campaign.
The only way DeSantis gets into a Presidential campaign is if the Deep State succeeds in removing Donald Trump from the game. At which point, "elections" won't be meaningful anyway.
It would be good to stop a pointless conflict within the Republican party, which is being orchestrated by the Deep State for the benefit of the Democrats.
Trump and Trump both Don he’s so magnificent for both posts. Just ask him!
DeSantis would be a great VP. Trump could teach him the ropes and when ‘28 came alone he’d be ready.
It’s a dream ticket.

You make a good argument for the ticket
Have you seen how he governs Florida? He would be a great president, and he has a much better chance of winning the general, and that is all that matters.
I would rather have Ramaswamy.
I opined that ticket here at FR, and got crickets!
We’ve got to put all our chips on the table NOW, or not be able to keep this Republic...
And equally amazing how thick some peoples' skulls are...
Not you, of course.
The GOPe is working very diligently on aiding the steal...
Kari is indeed smart, energetic and pure MAGA.
The question I ask myself is which VP candidate will be able to generate additional votes for Trump. I don't know that having (2) Trumps on the ticket does that.
Is there a VP candidate who will attract more independent voters? If such a person exists, he/she may be what Trump needs to help him win.
That could also work, but Vivek needs more name recognition.
Using that logic, why not Trump/ Pelosi, or Trump/ Schumer? Why would you run an anti-gun democrat like Gabbard on our ticket?
Wait, wait, wait! Why not Trump/Hillary!™???
“...I wouldn’t under any circumstances work for him...”
If he hasn’t asked you, you have no worries...
“...this grooms Desantis for 2028!”
He doesn’t need grooming. He needs patience. I had mentioned this possibility last year and even added another incidental to it...if Trump becomes president for the second time, and DeSantis VPTUS under him, then swaps at the end of Trump’s term, we can get 2 terms of DeSantis and guess who his VP can be? A possible 12 straight years of conservative control at the top. Sound appealing? At this point it can become a reality.

A dream ticket...Ron is great, so is Don...
Trump has residences in other states, all he needs to do is declare one of them his domicile...he doesn’t need to actually live there. Problem solved.
DeSantis should have recognized that, and cut off ANY speculation of him running now.
He’s just gone down in my estimation.
He thought he could beat the best resident we’ve had since Reagan? Who gets 10’s of thousands of people rallying to see him? That shows me he’s a politician and not a smart businessman
Yeah, not hold my hand over my butt waiting for that to happen . . .
“POTUS and VP must be from different states.”
No. They just won’t get the state’s electoral votes. One of them can move (most likely DJT) to another state and problem solved. Same thing happened with Cheney/Bush when they both lived in TX. Cheney moved to MT and resolved the issue.
