I still say DeSantis will not run in 2024 and if I were him I wouldn't. WHY would he?
He's leading a state that loves him. The national media can't touch him really. Once he hits the campaign trail all bets are off. They will devour him. Why would any sane person want to deal with that in today's society?

I like DeSantis but being a good governor is not the same as going up against the DC Bureaucratic machine, fresh off the destroy Trump campaign. Our State Dept, Intel Agencies, and all the alphabet agencies have experienced new found clout and power having bested Trump. I consider what was done to Trump by these bureaucrats to be Treason if as seems to be the case they were intentionally lying in an attempt to remove a duly elected President.
If you hadnтАЩt noticed, DeSantis is rallying in other states. No one does that if their eye is only on remaining governor of one state.
I think itтАЩs good that both DeSantis and Youngkin are helping out in the senate races. If those people win, then it is good for their resumes. If they lose, then at least they introduced themselves to the voters in other states. And if the guys they help win, they get good time tokens from the voters and the elected officials.
Plus, they can rally in other states without the baggage Trump carries at this delicate time.
Why would he? Because he wants to be President. All governors of big states salivate at the idea of being President. It's one of the traits that got them to where they are at now lol.
I agree. The country will be better off if DeSantis stays right where he is so our governors can observe and copy his approach to policy and take as much advantage of states' rights as he does. The problem is that not every elected official is as confident and clearheaded as he is when it comes to dealing with the media and progressive rhetoric. He's immune to bullying.
DeSantis is still young. I think he will eventually run but maybe not in 2024. He seems open to a bigger office but another term in Florida might make him stronger.
So - who would be an alternative to Trump? It seems like we have a sad dearth of leadership/sane people anymore, whether GOP or Dems. Partisanship has taken over and I think Barr covered that well.
I agree, but I sure wish he would. I am so over all things Trump. Can you imagine what his campaign will sound like? This time around itтАЩll be about all the terrible things that were done to him. That sure isnтАЩt what independents will want to hear. I voted for him twice, and I donтАЩt want to be forced to vote for him again because obviously I canтАЩt ever vote for a democrat after the places this admin has taken us. 2024 will be all be about revenge for Trump.
Linda - my thoughts exactly. Trump has a chip on his shoulder now (and rightly so, but still) and half the country hates him. It would be chaos.
But at this point I'd cut off my hand before I'd vote for a Dem. Voting for one Dem means you vote for them all and Pelosi is just too vile. She's like a geriatric Chucky.
I voted for him twice and I don't want him to run again. I just wish the Democrats and the media would have just ignored him. Instead they put him back in the spotlight 24/7. Most people were ready to move on.
I will say this, because so many people had reservations about the election outcome the Democrats did zero things to try and make future elections more secure. It's as if they accept how elections are run now as being completely free from fraud. That will never fly with many Trump supporters.
Yes, no one in their right mind would subject themselves and their family to the attacks associated with running for public office. This is why we have terrible candidates running for public office. The brain drain in American politics is stunning and We The People are suffering terribly from it.
I like your thinking on this--and really do wonder whether DeSantis in actual fact has more power as governor of this model state than he would lodged in the Deep-State mess of Washington.
Of course that's Trump- I never said otherwise. But his policies were good, thousand times better than Biden IMO. But like I said I don't want him running again. I would like to see the next candidate have similar policies.
Yes - we're living in a time when it feels like anything could happen. Unstable and no way to guess what's next. It's like everyone's finger is hovering over the nuclear button, figuratively speaking.

To save the Republic!

Hmmm - Maybe Barr?
God forbid!
Wow, thanks. I was unaware. You canтАЩt make this stuff up.
I agree, but I sure wish he would. I am so over all things Trump. Can you imagine what his campaign will sound like? This time around itтАЩll be about all the terrible things that were done to him.

I wish everyone could get behind a third party candidate. Libertarian would be my choice.
I agree, no more Trump. HeтАЩs done his job and is now a liability to all sane conservatives.
I voted for him twice and I don't want him to run again. I just wish the Democrats and the media would have just ignored him. Instead they put him back in the spotlight 24/7. Most people were ready to move on.

DTS. The opposite of TDS. No, that will never fly with Deranged Trump Supporters.
Me? I give more credit to what Barr says than to what Trump says, any day of the week.
So, you agree with Barr, that Trump's policies were solid and he should be proud of his accomplishments?
Yeah. I've said plenty-a times he did a lotta good things. Learned some more today..
Yes, no one in their right mind would subject themselves and their family to the attacks associated with running for public office. This is why we have terrible candidates running for public office. The brain drain in American politics is stunning and We The People are suffering terribly from it.
But alas, this is intentional.
Agree 100%.
I like your thinking on this--and really do wonder whether DeSantis in actual fact has more power as governor of this model state than he would lodged in the Deep-State mess of Washington.
I'd like him to continue to set precedents for other states to deal with the culture wars for the next four years, and then take it up a level.
I think his positions regarding K-12 and Universities are spot on, and could accomplish at the state level what the Feds could never accomplish.
True, but he is the most electable Republican for 2024. If he doesnтАЩt run, GOP is in trouble.
I agree
I feel exactly as you do.
the tease of the throne gets em every time.
Ego
Narcissism
Power
Any, all, or combo of those gets them all the time
You realize, right? You're describing Trump to a T. From Your comment above:
"Why would any sane person want to deal with that in today's society?"
I suppose that's the best justification to ending up with Trump as the nominee. He *hungers* to deal with it.
In fairness, that describes most of our presidents lol
Of course that's Trump- I never said otherwise. But his policies were good, thousand times better than Biden IMO. But like I said I don't want him running again. I would like to see the next candidate have similar policies.
That'd be nice.
But there's Trump in the way of any-a that, right? IMO, he's the *only* R that could *possibly* lose to a D. Me? Too close, and too far away to call.
Yes - we're living in a time when it feels like anything could happen. Unstable and no way to guess what's next. It's like everyone's finger is hovering over the nuclear button, figuratively speaking.
Lucky is "figuratively" speaking. (As far as we know. Oh! ;-)
The citizens of that state love him. He's doing a great job. The national media really can't touch him. I would stay there, but that's me.
