Trump would definitely lose his influence if DeSantis runs and wins. Here we would have a 43 year old versus an old washed up 75 year old former president who's still complaining about his loss. Our country needs the younger generation to take over.
Because Trump will always have influence as he’s so extremely popular and gets sOOO much attention from both parties. It shows in so many candidates he’s endorsed that have won…and he has so much influence that he hasn’t even said he’s running, yet you can’t stop talking about him. That’s the definition of influence.

My point is DeSantis is just as popular if not more and doesn't need Trump's endorsement. This has to do with the election of a president which is much different then other elections.

Go to the doctor, get your health care, then pay for it. Just like you go to the restaurant, get your food, then pay for it. Or go to the department store, get your clothes, then pay for it.
First step in reducing health care costs is to block illegal immigrants at the border.
Immigrations policy, tax policy, foreign policy, energy policy, etc.
I did not read this entire thread so if someone stated this, the mod can delete this one.
DeSantis has stated he has no interest in being president, and wants to stay governor of Florida.
I believe if he has a change of heart down the road, he will ask trump to pick him as his running mate.
Isn't that par for the course? To say you're not running up until the moment you announce you are running? He would want to build the back channel support before making it formal.

DeSantis for President, then he can nominate Trump to SCOTUS.
Although I am in the Trump camp, if he stepped aside for DeSantis, I would rejoice - and happily support DeSantis full force. But DeSantis is still young, and has more good he can do for FL - then we tee him up for 2028 and we get the longest Republican reign since the 80s.
On the other hand, if the Left has its way - they take the two strongest figures in the Party and pit them against each other - and it produces rapid electoral destruction for the MAGA GOP. Because both men agree on virtually everything and draw much of the same base of support.
I concur that they need to have a talk and one hundred percent ensure there is no civil war.
For one thing, even if DeSantis prevailed in a food fight with Trump, the MSM would then use that against him in the general to try and persuade Trump supporters to stay home. Of course, if the roles were reversed this holds true as well - but many Republicans seem to think DeSantis is somehow immune to the media's attacks. The media would act accordingly in an attempt to divide the MAGA movement permanently, and thus decimate its ranks - ultimately keeping the Dems in power.
Make no mistake, I firmly believe this is the Left's "ace in the hole" - break in case of emergency - and our two greatest assets need to recognize this ASAP.
Relax.
There's not going to be any war. Primary among the reasons for that is the left's transparent encouragement of it.
Trump needs to step aside. This conservative will be once again debating whether or not to vote 3rd Party if Trump wins the primary. What all you “Trump or Nothing” folks need to consider is that if I am not sure I can bring myself to vote for him imagine how hard it will be to convince Independents to, let alone unhappy Democrats.
We can have Trump’s policies without Trump. DeSantsis has shown himself to be a tough fighter who isn’t going to let Democrats or the media run over him and he doesn’t have Trump’s baggage. Plus, by God, he is younger than me.
Exactly this. I really don't want Trump anywhere near this election. His time has come and gone. I'm not even a fan of DeSantis, and was hoping for a better candidate. We will see. I'd like to see Steve Scalise run, but there is no chance of that.
