I support a lot of what DeSantis has done in Florida. I actually have no problems with him whatsoever, but I also don't follow him that closely.
But when MSM websites are gushing over him, that is a tell that gets me extremely suspicious.
What is it? Is he compromised? Or is he just WAY less dangerous than Trump?
It might be that if Trump takes office, there is going to HELL to pay for these pieces of shit. But DeSantis wasn't messed with at the level that Trump was. Maybe a deal was struck. Who knows in this swamp.
Anytime I see MSM gushing over someone, I automatically say nope.
What you guys think?
I don't want DeSantis either, but if Trump ends up promoting DeSantis instead of himself, I'm going to hope and presume that it's because DeSantis can be the figurehead that deals with the media while Trump plays the role of cleaning up in ways he could not when he was President.
That said, I like what DeSantis has done, but I still don't fully trust him, and I don't know why. Just a gut feeling. I don't think he's a full blown deepstater, but I also know he isn't going to take the kind of risks Trump and those closely aligned with Trump have been taking for 5+ years to clean up the mess that is the US government.
My personal choice is DJT, and if not him, then Trump Jr., Ivanka, Ric Grenell, Huckabee Sanders -- really, anybody who's worked directly with Trump in the line of fire would be my choice before DeSantis.
Just a gut feeling though, I really do like everything DeSantis has done so far.
Not Ivanka. She is a hidden Manhattan liberal along with her slimy husband I think they would be terrible. I feel like she is President Tumps blindspot.
She is very well spoken but like you, I have my doubts about her too.
Obama was well spoken only with a teleprompter, but it was enough to fool a lot of people. I'm Brooklyn born myself and have zero problems with how Trump is. I cringed at very little he's said over the years, and always laughed when he would talk shit about anyone. Remember "you're a tough guy Jeb?" Fucking hilarious.
We were never offended by Trump, either. We actually looked forward to him speaking because he didn't pull any punches and he was never politically correct. It used to annoy the crap out of me when people would say that he wasn't articulate or "presidential". That attitude brought us many a filthy politician.
Fair enough. She had a great presence at the GOP convention and I saw an ability for her to connect with a lot of people, but how she would actually govern is certainly debatable.
Don Jr as Fl gov desantis as vp?
I’d go for that. Might even be a safer way for DeSantis to prove himself.
I always thought maybe Trump Jr. would run after his father's two terms.
I am not a huge fan of the legacy thing, even if it's a Trump. And Jr. amuses me but IDK. Can't see him at the helm for some reason.
Is it because he acts like Trump instead of acting like DeSantis?
His Yale Secret Society ties are questionable...
No more family dynasties please. JFK was an exception - you know because the deep state whacked him (or did they?)
To be clear, I’m not interested in a family dynasty, I’m mostly just interested in Don Jr.
None of his kids. And not even Eric Trump.
Family dynasties inevitably become eroded with each generation, JFK or otherwise.
And JFK aside, we all know most family dynasties were rotten to begin with (hence why they were able to rise to power to begin with, sans assassinations).
