Well, Carlson already has politician hair. That, a pulse, a bad suit, and an ability to read a teleprompter is evidently all you need to make it in DC. We’ve got plenty of examples of that. So why not go for it?

Seems like making liberals cry is a great platform for a section of our electorate. All I can say is good luck with that.

I consider myself a liberal, and I wouldn’t cry.

I’m not a leftist, though. There’s a difference.

The issue with DeSantis, is the more the public listens to him, the less they like him.

With Tucker Carlson, he's like a loose cannon. Much more likeable than DeSantis by many on the right, (and poss some independents) but I don't think Carlson would want to be in that role.

If the Republicans want to have a better shot at winning in 2024, they should look outside of DeSantis and Trump options entirely.

Either of those 2 choices in the lead Republican spot will allow a loss for sure.

I think Tucker would obliterate his DNC VP opponent in a debate...unless Trump takes Megyn Kelly.
We get two clowns for the price of one? Sounds like a scam.

MAGA has to die before this can happen. Trump still has a chokehold on the party and the GOP is scared to death of pissing off his supporters. Trump is the head of the snake and 2028 will be the earliest they can get put the train back on the tracks.

These make too much sense for most American voters. These are boring tickets, & politics has become entertainment with consequences, so I don't feel these tickets would sell...they'd just solve most of our problems...which is no longer the goal.

DeSantis has a boring personality, so he needs to add some spice to get himself elected. Tucker is interesting, & wildly popular, so he'd be a nice fit for Yawn DeSleeper.

It would be best if conservative logical thinkers would step outside of their skins, and think like the masses until the next election passes.

So, how about Ramaswamy & Tucker?...a younger person of color? He seems very likeable to me...& a very popular and interesting media figure. They have similar positions on the issues.

He could be a force in 2028. Best he can hope for in 2024 is a cabinet position. His policies are not my cup of tea but I will admit he is young, has charisma and he is smart. The GOP will do well in investing in him.
