No one else can do Trump like Trump. DeSantis has to be a more and better DeSantis, not a copy of Trump.
I can agree with that, I never voted for him but I hoped he would rise to the office instead he acts as if the Presidency is beneath him.

The FBI is not the enemy and I want someone that stands firmly in the middle and takes the law and government seriously with no baggage, Adam Kinzinger stands out for now.

LMAO!!! People are clueless. TDS does this to people. Trump will have an easier time winning the 2024 GOP nomination than 2016. In 2016 he had to beat a long 17 candidate primary and the establishment. He doesn't even have to do that in 2024 because he already has the votes. It took 8 years to build his platform.

DeSantis is NOT going against Trump in 2024, it will be some anti-Trump Republicans that will do as bad or worse than Jeb Bush or Kascish in the primary.

Without picking a VP, Trump beats Biden and Kamala today . Trump picks DeSantis as VP and it's over for the Democrats.

Democrats doesn't go hard after Trump for 6 years and raids his home if he is a losing formula. Nobody does that to a person out of power that "can't" win. It's on.

I'm not sure Governor DeSantis would accept the selection as VP. If I was in his circle... I would advise him to pass and wait for his time.

You are not him. It make perfect sense. DeSantis takes the VP spot and he earns the base and win or lose he has the base for 2028. You think DeSantis will take on Trump and risk losing to him or worse yet lose Trump's base.

DeSantis was the first one to come out in public to defend Trump after the FBI raid and he is going many times to Arizona to campaign for Trump's pick Lake and others. You think that sounds like a person that will fight Trump for the base?

2 things he does:A) he joins Trump for V.P. and takes the base when he runs in 2028 or B)doesn't run but for sure he isn't fighting Trump for the base in 2024. He has too many things in common with Trump and he needs the base whenever he runs for President and Trump is gone.

I would add Hogan in the poll. He appeals to everyone just like Reagan did.

LMAO! Stop it! You take comedy too far. Hogan has less appeal than Jeb and Kasisch and those 2 are dead in the party. Why do Democrats vote in a GOP poll?

Neither one was elected twice in a blue state were they? No. I didn't realize this was just a poll for republicans.

I didn't know the key to win the GOP nomination was to win in a blue state governor . I guess Charlie Baker of Mass, Chris Sununu of N.H., Phil Scott from Vermont should run in the GOP primary.


Why doesn't the Democrat party replace Biden and Kamala with Laura Kelly or Andy Beshear, 2 Democrats that won in Red states? Too white and not from near the coasts for the party?

Bill Maher and Ben Shapiro agreed that Trump wins the 2024 nomination and clears the field. DeSantis will NOT take on Trump because Trump will wreck him or anybody in the field and even if DeSantis wins, he won't have anything left in the general because it will be a bloody 50 state bath primary with Trump and DeSantis doesn't want it or has the stomach for it and if he loses the primary to Trump he is done. Maher admits Trump beats Biden and Kamala and he hopes there is somebody else.

Trump poisons as much water as he purifies. Don't get me wrong... I'd vote for Trump over any demoncrat, but Governor DeSantis will have his time, at his own choosing, as his own person.

Trump is no Ronald Regan where his coat tails are a legacy.
