    Not sure it's about Trump himself so much as it is about his supporters whose votes he'll need to win. He doesn't want to appear like he's trying to replace MAGA, but work with it as the more mature candidate than the guy who started it.

    I have to wonder...everyone saw how Trump treated his 1st VP. DeSantis knows Trump would screw him without a second's thought if it would be beneficial.

    Yea, he is unpredictable but from what I have read trump and pence still speak to each other. It's said politics make strange bedfellows (or something like that).

    Desantis does great in Florida with a lot of things, and has done great. with covid, schools, etc. Economy. That's why so many people are leaving liberal states, such as cali, and new york, and moving to florida.

    Trump can be a political fool. His ego is too large for his own good.

    If Trump gets the nomination, which I hope will not happen, I hope that DeSantis turns him down for the VP spot. We need him more here in Florida than in Washington where he would be no more than a tit on a bull. The main reason to make DeSantis VP is because Trump will be over 80 years which means he might not be able to serve out the term.

    The left does not like DeSantis because he is a very effective leader who gets things done. They view him as a threat because there are many good reasons to make him the next president.

    It has nothing to do with Trump. The so-called "Trump candidates" are populist nutcases like Boebert, Marjorie Greene and Matt Gaetz, who are the new face of the GOP, and share the same political DNA as DeSantis. That DNA calls for maximum divisiveness and partisanship which DeSantis will be running on in 2 years, and he will need the support of those voters who share the DNA. It's a numbers game, and the approach might work. IMO DeSantis has potential, and its a great shame he has chosen the "us vs them" path. I am hoping for someone like Reagan who was conservative, but served all Americans.

    No, he is gunning for the top spot. Besides, who wants to be Trump's VP, after he tried have the previous one assassinated.

    And I suppose that the speeches Biden has been giving vilifying all "MAGA Republicans" and all other Republicans in general have been uniting the country?

    Come on man!

    Oh, we're getting the "BUT.........BIDEN" argument.

    No, I didn't say anything about Biden. Biden won't be running again, so he is irrelevant in the discussion. He was not elected to unite Americans, and no one expected him to do that. His job was to get Trump fired, and he accomplished that. Only a charismatic / inspiring president can unite, and Biden is the least inspiring president we have ever had.

    As for the speeches about "all maga republicans", - I do not know what you mean, and it doesn't matter.

    No one expected him to unite the country? NOT TRUE.

    He hasn't pulled out yet. He's talking to the people who ran the Clinton and Obama campaigns in a gear up for 2024.

    Just because the facts don't match you hopes or propaganda, doesn't mean that the facts are true.

    Pence's shred of integrity got him into trouble with Trump. I don't think DeSantis has that problem.

    DeSantis is wise indeed..........
    I am impressed........

    The potential squabble between Governor DeSantis and President Trump COULD IN THEORY BE USED TO CREATE AN ALTERNATIVE CURRENCY OR TWO OR THREE THAT COULD BE USED TO PAY OFF THE NATIONAL DEBTS OF THE USA, ISRAEL, CANADA AND AUSTRALIA..... .AND THAT IS JUST FOR STARTERS!!!!!


    This looks like an interesting survey but I would much prefer to answer it here on political forum as opposed to merely sending it off to the organization that sent it to me which was Stand For America PAC.

    I believe that it is time for the USA G.O.P. as well as for Canada's Conservative Party, (actually party's plural because the political right here in Canada is certainly divided)....... they MUST DISCUSS SEVERAL ELEPHANTS IN THE ROOM WITH COURAGE...... because these next six months could be rough.......... because some highly influential people such as Bill Gates and George Soros sure sound like they are rabidly Neo-Malthusian, so much so that they are to at least some degree in bed with China .... and the Military Industrial Complex of China, (not to be confused with the Military Industrial Complex of the USA), sure seems to want to shoot the moon or go for control, which is taking both the Queen of Spades as well as all thirteen hearts in the game of Hearts, which is Bill Gate's favourite card game, (that is why the game of Hearts was included with many older versions of Bill Gates' operating systems)!


    Please view the USA Dollar, no matter in what form it exists AS A PROP IN A PROPOSED SERIES OF REALITY FILMS STARRING ALL THREE HUNDRED AND THIRTY MILLION AMERICANS as actors, playing the role of themselves and the Being of Light of near death experience fame as the Producer of the final and most important version of these films, (not to mention the owner of the stage as well as the Creator of all of us actors who are in this Reality Film Series)!

    Atheism in a very dogmatic form.... .much as what was promoted in Russia and China and all Communist nations over the past hundred years has been used to
    make the BEHAVIOUR of high level political leaders PREDICTABLE...... (AND EXTREMELY SELFISH AND PATHOLOGICAL AND NARCISSISTIC AND SOCIOPATHIC......... and on and on and on we could make our list)!!!!!!

    So you're saying that Biden is a consummate liar?

    Or are you going to sit here and deny that that was part of his campaign promise to unite us all?

    Can you just read my post again if you wonder what I said.

    I said "I didn't say anything about Biden. He lives in your head, not mine. I don't give a rats ass what he said on his campaign.

    Who cares if you said you didn't say anything about Biden because directly after you say that you go to talking about him.

    Um...no, I didn't. You did, and you always do because he occupies space in your head.

    My opinion: all of the above. DeSantis wants to keep his options open. If he smells blood in the water, he'll go against Trump. If Trump is still going strong, he'll position himself as his ally. This move keeps both options open to him.

    Trump was openly calling out Pence for failing to wipe his ass with the Constitution in favor of kissing Trump's ring instead WHILE Trump cultists were trying to kill Pence.

    I don't think they'll ever be running mates again, but based on what I've read they don't have hard feelings between them. Of course the media would prefer to stoke the fires to keep it in the news in the hopes it will have a negative effect on the 2024 elections for Republicans.

    One of Trump's strongest skills has always been collecting spineless simps, so it is possible that Pence is among them. I personally would choose to no longer associate with someone who tried to pressure me into overthrowing the Constitution and continued his rants against me while his followers were chanting for my death. Jeez, and I thought Cruz was pathetic for licking Trump's boots after the guy called his wife ugly and tried to link his father to the JFK assassination.

    Could it be that Pence doesn't see it as you do? It's probably a good thing Pence isn't black. I imagine the "Uncle Tom" label might have been included in your description of Pence.

    It is entirely possible that Pence lacks the capacity to accept objective facts, but I doubt it. Any other race-baiting excuses to share?
