I would love it but I'm not sure it would really be a ticket that draws votes Trump wasn't already going to get. I'm not sure it's really advantageous for Desantis either. I would think he'd be better off finishing his term in Florida and taking a cabinet position.


Don't overthink this one. This would be the best that could happen!

That would require Trump to care about something other than himself


This. Voted for Trump twice. Will vote a 3rd. But so many loyal followers don't see it. They think Trump wants to save America. But what Trump wants is for TRUMP to save America. All of his rhetoric towards others (like calling him desanctimonius on the very same night he destroyed Florida Democrats) shows that if it can't be him then he'd rather it all burn down.

Would be a bonehead move by DeSantis.
If DeSantis isn't VP, he's either on his way to congress or he's on his way to obscurity. He might have one more failed presidential run in him. But if he's VP, he'll have much more credibility with the rest of the country.

Choosing Desantis would be the best choice for America. You are wrong to think that move would be about Trump.

DeSantis is too important as the governor of a large state that could shift back to purple if he left. He is working wonders and needs to stay where he is unless the move is to the presidency.
Only for 2 more years, he is not eligible past January 2027.

Though I wish DeSantis had crushed Trump and gotten the nomination, he wasn't an alpha dog in the primaries, more of a lap chihuahua.

As of now there is no successor to Trump and it's a fresh game in '28. If you think Trump having Vivek or Abbott as his VP clears the field I couldn't disagree more.

DeSantis has an insane record and work ethic. He has a solid base of support. Not saying he is the presumptive nominee but he's the likely front runner.

Nah, he hit hard and often in the primaries. He made Newsom into a joke. He destroyed Haley in the last debate. There was just no way to break through against Trump, especially with the media and RNC completely in the tank.

If you can give me a realistic example of how he could have beaten Trump though I'm all ears.

Which is why I don't believe it will happen. And I DEFINITELY don't believe Trump would step aside half way though his hypothetical 2nd term. The highly more likely scenario is Trump picks a weak VP he has no chance of being overshadowed by.

DeSantis spends 4 years as VP, throws his name in the ring for 2028, and then wins the next two terms. 12 years of no bull****


Exactly. He wouldn't be your typical VP given he's a proven solid leader and not some DC swamp rat.
Do you honestly think Trump is going to share the limelight with someone else and let DeSantis get wins ?

I don't think that's in Trump's genes. I'd love to see Trump turn DeSantis loose to clean up the DOJ, FBI and half a dozen other agencies.




You have a short memory. His last VP thought Trump was trying to get him killed and he hates him. DeSantis is smarter than that.

Well, he wasn't running against Newsom. As far as hard and often, I guess I missed his delegate totals somehow. The media is in the tank for biden, not Trump. DeSantis's campaign was ineffective, that isn't Trump's fault.

And the media/Dems thought that Trump would be the most vulnerable candidate in the general election.

I can think of so many times during the campaign where DeSantis absolutely hit something out of the park and the media either ignored it or downplayed it. When they talked about him they always started off with polling numbers and Trump. This was after giving Trump 10x the coverage. Even the Hurricane was memory holed in a flash. They let Trump get away with not doing hard interviews and not debating, hell they praised him for it and called him smart.

I didn't say that was "Trump's fault" it just was what it was. I also noticed you didn't have any response to giving an example of how DeSantis could have beaten Trump. The only way it was going to happen was for Trump to self implode.

DeSantis didn't run a perfect campaign but he ran a solid one. In the end he just never got a real shot, so be it. He's a young guy and has a lot of career left in him. Trump does not.

You would have a hard time finding a more Conservative candidate than Pence.

Trump is so smart that he knew that the Dallas Cowboys weren't worth the $50,000,000 in the mid 1980s and bought the New Jersey Generals instead.

Yep. Real brain power, business acumen, and foresight in that pumpkin head.

The Dems were ready to toss Joe overboard and go with Newsome if Republicans had been smart enough to choose DeSantis. And yes, the media was in the tank for a Trump rematch against Biden.

This. Voted for Trump twice. Will vote a 3rd. But so many loyal followers don't see it. They think Trump wants to save America. But what Trump wants is for TRUMP to save America.

If his policies make American stronger, it's so odd that some people get so twisted because he's a narcissist. Get over it, it's a broken record. We need to get behind Trump fully unless you are cool with Biden for another 4 years.

Trump is a better option than democrats, but his choices in 2020 started us down the road that we find ourselves today. He fast-tracked and promoted the hell out of what turned out to be a worthless and harmful vaccine. He also turned on the money printing presses so he could show a fast recovery (The "V"! The "V"!) before the election.

Trump is absolutely capable of harming America, but out of two **** choices he is the least *****

He relied on medical experts who turned out to be frauds. Promoting the vaccine (hell, he took it) isn't in the same hemisphere as supporting mandates and closing businesses down.

And yet, when asked, he still can't admit he made egregious mistakes. He'd do everything the same.
