My Prediction: DeSantis will be the 2024 GOP Nom

[RFCalifornia]

Trump and co will be dealing with so many legal problems, they won't be able to run an effective campaign

DeSantis' hands are clean, legal wise, of all the Big Lie shenanigans

And unlike Trump, he has a functioning (yet diabolical) brain

Buckle your seat belts everyone, it's going to be a bumpy ride

[Timeflyer]

1. Please, no!!!

[RFCalifornia]

2. Oh believe me, I don't want this

He's scarier than Trump in many ways

Trump is Kaiser Wilhelm to a possible DeSantis as Hitler

[getagrip_already]

3. tfg will make life hell for any candidate other than himself....

His ego demands that only he can win, so if the party chooses someone else than he will work to see they lose, just to say he told you so.

Question is, does he have the sway to pull that off? Still fun to watch.

He will never endorse desan.

[RFCalifornia]

4. He won't but he won't have much time

He'll be on Trial in GA for a while

[getagrip_already]

9. he could probably make that an advantage.......

it would polish his brand and keep him in the news.

Even if convicted, if he won the election, he would not serve time.

23. I suspect corrupt bargain

Guaranteed pardon on all federal crimes and a Cabinet position for one of his spawn. Also GOP and the government will take every opportunity to have campaign workers and government employees stay at his properties.

Also agreement to put the screws to any governors (like New York and Georgia) where Trump and his spawn might run into legal difficulties to ensure state level pardons.

Trump will get a tasty ambassadorship that he will be able to monetize (him or one of his spawn).

For all this DeSantis will be anointed by Trump.

5. It will split the party. The Trump cultists will not vote for ANYONE other than Trump.

He will run as a third party if that happens or they will write him in.

[RFCalifornia]

6. That would be the most desired outcome

[NYC Liberal]

8. Let's cross our fingers.

[33taw]

12. I agree.

[phylny]

21. I sure do hope so! nt

[JustAnotherGen]

7. Are certain that maggot

Wasn't involved in stop the steal? Committee hearing on Tuesday - I heard the word 'Florida'.

[rso]

10. DeSantis

DeSantis has zero physical appeal, which is a major factor for american voters. He's very short and has ballooned to the point of being actually obese.

[walkingman]

15. As if Trump did? The South loves these "strong men" actors that talk shit and bully people.

[TheRealNorth]

20. That shit works on the deplorables in the Midwest too.

[Casady1]

22. At one time Trump

was good looking. Ask Candace Bergen who dated him one time at Penn. DeSantis is hideous.

[TheRealNorth]

18. You seem to have a lot of faith in the Republican base...

[Omnipresent]

13. I think the QOP still wants to hang onto Mike Pence.

..or hang him.

[Initech]

14. Trump is a useful idiot. Fox News is pulling his strings.

When they no longer need him, they will cast him aside. Fox News is mad that they lost their plaything when Trump lost the election. They want a direct line to the White House because it will be good for ratings. If DeSantis were to be in charge, Fox would go nuclear against all of the right wing's political opponents and they could really do some damage.

That would be a "nightmare scenario".

[TheRealNorth]

16. The only thing more scarier about DesthSatan....

Is that he would be more competent than the Biggest loser.

[Poiuyt]

17. I agree, and what's worse, I predict DeSantis will be our next president

Our country seems to be regressing rapidly, and Republicans are learning how to rig elections. With Biden's age, I don't think he'll be able to win a second term.

That said, things change quickly in Washington. I thought Jeb Bush would be the Republican nominee in 2016.

[TheRealNorth]

30. True

I thought it would be Snotty Walker.

[HAB911]

24. He's more dangerous than TFG, he's smart

not that the end result would change any

[slater71]

25. If you are correct, count on him being the dictator for maybe 40 years.

[RFCalifornia]

34. This, my friend, is why I am nervous

It's not about Trump, but who follows in his footsteps

[Tickle]

27. He'll need desantis

to pardon him. I’ve been saying this for over a year now. Trump will hold a rally and tell his supporters to get behind desantis, they most likely will.

[Alhena]

28. Agree, Trump relies upon keeping his moronic followers entertained, and his act is getting stale

I think enough of his supporters will want a newer and fresher Nazi to give Desantis the nod.

[RFCalifornia]

33. I'm not talking about good vs bad but danger vs even more dangerous

[Samrob]

31. MISSION POSSIBLE

Your assignment, should you agree to accept it, is to link DeSantis and all other FL Republicans to Trump and the insurrectionists of J6 and their total disrespect for law and order and now to the dangerous SCOTUS, that has no regard for the will of the majority of Americans or their safety and security. GET TO WORK. This message will NOT self-destruct 10 seconds.

[RFCalifornia]

32. Can we?

[Justice]

35. Let's see if he wins re-election first.
