Governor DeSantis's resume is as good as it gets. Of course the lefties won't even review it. I encourage all others to see what an accomplished good person he is.
Besides the resume the other thing that DeSantis has going for himself is his age (43) and his family. Obama had young children at but otherwise it's been awhile since we've had a family with young children in the white house - I think that plays out well with the public.
So the Repubs need an AOC? No freaking way. It really doesn't matter who the Repubs nominate, the Media will turn him into Dr. Evil, they even did that with Romney as well as Bush (RINO's).
I must take great offense that you somehow managed to work AOC into that. She is a pox on the entire system of government. Sadly, she'll almost certainly be POTUS herself one day. With any kind of luck, I'll be dead by then.
First off, he barely became governor, just squeaking by a black challenger with less than 50% of the vote. So there are plenty of Floridians already who don’t like him. And Floridians twice backed Obama. So even in his home state DeSantis is far from beloved, and he could easily lose the state in a presidential election. Florida is still a swing state.
His politics likely wouldn’t fly in other swing states either. He’s definitely too right wing for most voters in Arizona, Nevada, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, and could possibly even lose Georgia, Virginia, and North Carolina. Most right wingers don’t get that most Americans are not social conservatives obsessed with abortion, critical race theory, gay rights, and gun control—the things DeSantis hammers home. The right makes a lot of noise about that stuff, but it barely wins elections in most places, where voters are more concerned about the high cost housing, health care, college, the negative effects of climate change (hello Florida!), equitable AND effective policing, and rational (rather than emotional) proposals for immigration reform. DeSanris comes up short on all of that.
Maybe he gets re-elected governor anyway. But at least right now he’s way too far out the mainstream to be elected president.
You need to get out from under that rock you're living under. You have no idea how 'out-of-touch' you are.
I had said I wouldn't vote again unless Trump was the nominee but I've changed my mind. Give me Trump or Desantis, or better yet, give me a ticket of both guys....and I'll drag myself to the polls and vote.
Give me any RINO, any career politician, Romney, Liz Cheney, Pence, and so forth... and I'm not going to bother.
What so ironic is the ‘real’ Republicans are the ones you say you wouldn’t vote for.
A Desantis/Trump ticket might be awesome. But Trump would never agree to that unless the ticket read Trump/Desantis. Trump's ego would never allow him to play second fiddle to anybody.
I'm not interested in the old republican hacks either. I can't stand Romney.
I think Trump feels too threatened by DeSantis' popularity and would never allow him to run on the same ticket.
DeSantis being President will be useless if we don't get rid of some of these stubborn, long time established congress people out of DC. Trump faced block after block because of these fools, and DeSantis will to. These congress people were mostly put in place by the rich to keep the system set up in their favor.
Most all in Congress have been there too long and need to go.
Should never be a career or even long term position.

I disagree. Politicians should have a life-long job like Federal judges. This way they are less likely to be bought off by special interests and can focus on serving.

Nah, they don’t have to live under the consequences of their decisions by staying in power. They’d make better decisions if they had to live like everyone else.
