I agree that having some like DeSantis as VP would be great. Would also set him up to take over. I also love having based Governors and he is one of the best.
I have High Hopes for Kari Lake too. If she does the things she claims to want too, she will be right up there with the best governors.
Nah not MTG. On timcast she couldn't even come up for a logical defense as to why she still owns Pfizer stock. Although she has played her part, there's something slimy about her.
Kari was also a local news personality. She was part of the media.
Everything Iβm seeing from her in this campaign looks good.
People change - and Iβm sure there are a lot of us on this board, and in this movement, that had questions about Trump when he first entered the race.
My hope is that Kari is the real deal, and any past opposition to Trump is completely resolved, and her eyes opened.
Trump also talks her up in a way thatβs far more positive than any other candidate or current politician. I have to believe that if sheβs at all shady, heβd be well aware of that intel.
I love Kari Lake. I watched her newscast for 2 decades - you could never tell her politics. Then - she had me at the hot mic incident in July 2019 where she attacked the liberal rag, The New Times!!! It was superb! She was a secret conservative!! She is smart, knows their game, and shines with true passion for America.
DeSantis has time in the office and shows what he does. I think Kari is awesome too but needs to be in the Governorship for a period of time to prove herself and kick some major ass in AZ by seeing to it that the criminals who colluded in stealing 2020 are prosecuted by the new State AG. Let's pray that takes place.
The biggest issue is that 2020 was a stolen election. If that is not fixed/overturned then it's a moot point.
After watching a couple hundred #Walkaway videos...the fact that she was a democrat at one point in time doesn't phase me. She most likely had a "come to Jesus" moment, like so many others, and started seeing the filth and destruction that is the democratic party and said "no more". I gladly voted for her this morning.
Ok let me try to change your mind. She was asked this question the other day on Newsmax while I was watching. Have you ever listened to her explanation? She said she was sick of the Iraq and Afghanistan war and the lies being told about it, and when she looked at Obama and NoName in 2008, being from Arizona, she knew NoName was NOT going to end the war. He never met a war he didnβt like. She was fooled by Obama (as many were) and felt he would end the forever war. After that she flipped to independent, and then back to Republican. I find that to be an extremely plausible explanation.
Everyone starts out as Democrat in their youth, turn Republican once you have a job, family,, and responsibility.
I don't know why people make a big deal of this?
There's something wrong with me then LOL. I remember when I was in college or high school and Hillary was in charge of drafting a national health care plan. I thought, "That is some creepy creepy bad idea stuff." I also remember Biden running for President a thousand years ago, and being raked over for plagiarism. I had really bad vibes about him way back then. Loved Reagan in the day too.
Good news is I turned my husband into a Conservative. He voted for Clinton can you believe?!? That was a long, long time ago.
I'm wary of her, too, but somewhat hopeful. Reading the article you linked here and she switched away from the Republican party after Bush Jr's war-mongering and I can relate to that.
While I certainly didn't go over to the dark side (demoncrap), I did not vote for Bush Jr for a second term, this from being a lifelong Republican. The 911 attack set off too many red flags and I started paying closer attention, thought Dick Cheney was the evil incarnate and the whole WMD debacle cemented the realization that there was something very wrong with the establishment politicians on both sides of the aisle.
What I'm trying to say is that the Bush Jr presidency was a political awakening for me and other previously staunch Republicans. I really can't blame Ms. Lake from getting disgusted with the right at that juncture in history.
With all the hype about the renegade I think many people were hopeful he'd be okay, but after seeing him in action and doing what was unmistakeably deliberate damage to the country, many who bought into that hope turned away before he ran for re-selection.
I could be wrong, but it appears to me that her party switches were principled ones, not opportunistic.
when's the last time historically there's been a based VP?
I can't think of one either.
Doesn't matter on the presidential candidate. The VP for a winning campaign has always been establishment connected, only there to win over middle of the road voters in the general election, and to serve as an insurance policy against a president going too far.
IMO Trump needs Desantis as a backup.
I have looked at the arguments all different ways. Having Desantis as the backup is the best fortified defense/offense.
Take out Trump?... fine, go for it..
...and while you are busy taking out Trump, the copilot will fly the plane now.
Plan on this happening.

I like MTG
She comes across as genuine. Not afraid to say the quiet part.
Mtg would be great for the Reeeeeeee
Don Jr would be a very decent choice too, for the reeeee!
Nah not MTG. On timcast she couldn't even come up for a logical defense as to why she still owns Pfizer stock. Although she has played her part, there's something slimy about her.
We love her in GA. Against our bunch of crooks, she is a breath of fresh air.
Magic: The Gathering?

Uhm. Does the name Mehmet Oz ring a bell?
If that's true, and not made up, that's not good.
IMO I would NOT have her as a VP.
Need the full post though.
Desantis as VP guarantees 12 years of maga, worst case.
It also rips up their plans of divide and conquer

I agree π―% u/marcellapalaferri ππ»
She has a track record as a flip flopper, Republican --> Democrat --> Republican
When I hear her talk, I hear an actor being dramatic.
Change my mind....

Trump used to be a Democrat too. The thing is, there are not two parties made up of Dems and Reps.
It's US vs Them.
Anyone, from either party, that recognizes this, and denounces both because of it, and becomes America First, is the right candidate to support.
That's just my own humble opinion.
So was Reagan.
Did Trump ever switch from Republican to Democrat? Kari Lake did.
Fool me once......

I don't see her being solid enough for VP.

Desantis need to stay right where he is.
I understand the feeling.
Trump does need a good backup that can fly the plane. Trump is on a suicide mission.
IMO Desantis is the best qualified.
One rumor had it that DeSantis eill be VP and handle domestic policy while Trump would handle international.
I like it.
He's already got JFK Jr. Isn't he good enough?
I said that Trump needs a backup that can fly the plane...... . . .
The plane crash was staged but I guess on the insurance report it's juniors fault. He'll never fly again. π
when's the last time historically there's been a based VP?

Easy to show where it went wrong.
Depending on your meaning of based
LBJ ---- escalated the Vietnam conflict kill 50,000 US, million+ Vietnamese, to get to the South China Sea oil (this was kept a secret).
JFK needed better backup. Absolutely needed better backup.

IMO it went wrong with Pence. Trump needed better backup.
