DeS was the heir apparent after Trump, until he challenged Trump and lost badly. Plus, he's got several years unemployed until 2028 (unless he starts running in 2026). Assuming Vance does a good job for the next four years (there is no guarantee of that of course), he's the easy frontrunner in the 2028 GOP primary.

I like my governor, I think he's made to many polarizing comments that make him nationally unelectable.
I wouldn't vote for him in a primary. |

It's why I don't fault him for taking a shot. He struck while his stock was high and a lot can change in politics quickly, especially with him being out of office come 2026.
Didn't work out for him obviously, but I don't think he was a flawed candidate ---- realistically no one could beat Trump |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By triburst1: Originally Posted By macman37: DeSantis/Vance ‘28 Desantis should have sat this one out and not burned his chance. He was a complete limp dick candidate and never had a chance to beat Trump. I think differently. He was a very strong candidate, who should have never run. Put simply, he needed to distance himself from Trump to be different but not alienate Trump voters. So basically Trump Light. Why would a voter want Trump Light instead of Trump? Harris had a similar problem. She needed to be different than Biden, but not alienate Biden voters. It's an impossible task. I still think he will do so much more good for the country as a Governor than he ever could have done as President. We need strong conservative Governors, and he was way out in front of Trump on COVID. I think he blew his chance and it's a shame. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Danted: I like my governor, I think he's made to many polarizing comments that make him nationally unelectable. I wouldn't vote for him in a primary. Everybody said that about Trump. There seems to be a pattern in American politics. The best conservatives get elected right after the worst liberals, because Americans get a taste of leftism and go "Yikes!" Carter - Reagan Obama - Trump Biden - Trump Same could happen to DeS, but after a real bad Dem gets elected first. |

I liked DeSantis. The same low-iq instincts that caused tim to challenge trump call into question his judgment. He blew his chance to ever be president by not backing trump. The NTs (fuck off cunts) may disagree but its more of a mathematical certainty type of deal. He should be aiming for senate or whateverthefuck in Florida because he has no shot for the next 8 years and if JD loses in 28 hes not getting a shot in '32 without showing some fucking loyalty for once.

Keep in mind women in California and New York, who had abortion access INCREASED after the SCOTUS decision are the most worried the Federal government is going to like force them into motherhood.
They've never read the ruling. They don't even know their own state laws. They have no idea they actually can have easier abortions now. They are retarded. |

Maybe. A lot can happen in four years though. IF everything goes perfectly, he builds a good track record, and doesn't end up snaking trump, then he'll be in a good spot, especially if trump gives his endorsement. It's way too early to speculate on that though.

Not saying this is necessarily the best choice, just calling it now it will Vance / Vivek in 2028 if Vivek has a relevant role in Trump’s administration or finds a place in Congress before then.

I agree, there could be another candidate move forward in the next couple years. Or several. |

DeSantis has done good. He never had a chance in the primary unless he was going to get in a fight with the democrats that was so big it over shadowed the Democrats fighting Trump. If you want the dragonslayer job you need to fight dragons.
