Personally, I would like to see a president whose main task was to execute the laws enacted by CONgress and not be some autocratic "prime minister" wannabee, making up policy and executive orders.
Frankly, under the republican form of government, all men are created equal and have Creator endowed rights that governments were instituted to secure... not tax, regulate nor trespass. And only by consent of the governed can the government do more than adjudicate disputes, prosecute criminals, and defend against all enemies, foreign or domestic.

Of course, if you consent, all bets are off.
Shut up, sit down, pay and obey.

She still has to run for re-election, no? This is where special interests come in to fund her campaign in return for political favors. People with life-long jobs like Federal judges don't have to worry this.

I'm not interested in the old republican hacks either. I can't stand Romney.
Desantis would have to be insane to even consider a run with a VP Trump. It would never happen anyway but Desantis wouldn't be dumb enough to trust Trump. A few private words with Pence would be all it would take. Trump turns on every person he used.

If you really want to honk off the PEOPLES DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST REPUBLIC OF AMERICA, volunteer OUT of socialism (socialist insecurity - 100% voluntary), banking (usury), and citizenship. The net result is the restoration of endowed rights that were surrendered. And endowed rights cannot be taxed, regulated nor trespassed. In short, government is deprived of revenues and authority to "govern."
Leaving their democracy and returning to the republican form is perfectly legal, and you can verify it in your own state constitution and statutes.

If 51% (or more) left "the reservation" the PDSRA would implode, since the majority who remain will be the recipients / parasites, and not the industrious (former) taxpayers.
The remnant left in the government, would be restricted by minimal revenue and authority, so they wouldn't get into much mischief.

The day the likes of AOC become president, if I'm not dead already I will make sure I am.

I agree, they should be limited to a few years of corruption.

However, the poster above makes a good point about the left will try to coup him just like Trump. Remember the 60 Minutes hit job where they point blank lied about DeSantis?
The lying left-wing media will do the same to anyone that doesn't parrot their talking points. Remember Romney, the left's latest GOP darling? They lied, smeared and attacked him for months during the 2012 elections, including lying and slandering him during the presidential debates. Thing is, most people with an IQ over 80 have already figured this out and realize the MSM can't be trusted. Problem is, votes count, no matter your IQ.
