Governor DeSantis Says That He Isn't Running For President

[Rambunctious]

Trump would beat him in the primary but Trump may not run if Desantis runs...

Trump would beat him in the primary

I don't know,.. I think it's too close to call on that one actually.

Meaning that he's already considered it I hope.

He needs to win re-election 1st. If he win the presidency or VP spot or is appointed a cabinet position in 2024 republicans can fill his seat for the remainder of his term. I think he know it will be hard for him to run in 2024 because it would take away from his job as governor, and a lot of people in Florida want to keep him as governor.

If DeSantis won in 2024 TRUMP could take over the remainder of his term as Governor.

I have a better idea. What if one of them was president and the other vice president?

Under our constitution, the president and the vice president can NOT be from the same state.I

if Trump changed his Florida residency back to New York or New Jersey etc, they could run on the same ticket.

Oh okay.

Which one cancels the other out? That's what I want to know.

That is not entirely true though functionally it is a problem.

A particular aspect of the Electoral College system has led to some confusion on this question.

It would be strange if he does not IMHO. This is his best chance to take the office, he has built a lot of political capitol over the last few years and all of it will be gone after the next cycle.

Exactly what political capital has he built?

Thanks! That explains it well!

 

[Resnic]

Dissapointed, but I understand.

Explaining it to a partisan would be pointless.

He is not a democrat so he has built no political capitol with the left. He is a republican and has built a massive amount with them as well as strong appeal to the center. That the left wants to bleat 'Dethsantis' has not managed to take him down a single notch and that should, even if it does not, tell you that he has gained a lot of capital.

Florida goes blue we are screwed ..........so Florida is more important. Time for STATE RIGHTS VERSUS FED.

Ironic.

That the left wants to bleat 'Dethsantis' has not managed to take him down a single notch and that should, even if it does not, tell you that he has gained a lot of capital.

How about actually winning a national office? You have to convince at least some amount of moderates and so far Desantis has only managed to barely win a conservative state.

I'm not saying a conservative can't win the presidency, it's just hat we haven't seen one in the Whitehouse since 1992. Even then that's conceding a lot.

 

[Who_Me?]

Imagine how much of a GREAT president he'd make though. (Plus, he has a better attitude than Trump as Trump actually is a bit of an asshole at times.)

At Times?

 

[FA_Q2]

Ironic.

Case in point.

 

[HappyJoy]

Case in point.

Yes, you are.

Yes Trump can be an asshole but remember. He's not a politician. If you ask him a question he'll tell you what he really thinks. Asshole at times Yes. Honest. Yes. I'd take him over a politician any day of the week.
