presidential bid

Former President Donald Trump continues to hold an iron grip over the Republican Party from his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, making critical endorsements in 2022 races and continuing to flirt a presidential run in 2024.

However, if Trump declines to run for office again, GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida is currently well-positioned to occupy a conservative space within the party that could catapult him to the 2024 presidential nomination.

During an event in South Carolina this past February brought together by the Bradley Foundation and filled with conservative donors, DeSantis, who was in attendance, spoke for almost an hour about his approach to governance, according to Politico.

In the speech, DeSantis detailed his opposition to widespread lockdowns in the Sunshine State.

An asshole is still an asshole.

1. A. He's not nice

B. He's a fcking idiot.

Former guy has some kind of snake oil salesman juju. DeathSentence has none of that. He's got lots of backing and lots of money behind him, but that's about it.

2. He'll be nicer

4. I think he is 10X more dangerous and reckless than frump.

5. Less obnoxious and loony does not make nice. But I suspect not many will notice.

6. He's a smug arrogant asshole. (n/m)

7. Here's my prediction...

If the Repubs take the House in 2022... they will offer Trump the speakership for 2 years in trade for him not running in 2024.

He can troll whoever he wants with a national spotlight for 2 years then go home. No grueling campaign and no humiliating loss (again lol)

Anyone want to bet that he'd do the "Speech Tear-up" behind Joe's shoulder after the 2023 SOTU speech? Smirking like an orange primate the whole time...

smdh...

8. A shorter pile of shit than Trump.

Something like that?
