Republican 2024 primary picks

Except that Trump would have to move because POTUS/VP can't be from same state, the best way to plaay this would be the classic Good Cop Bad Cop, have DeSantis roleplay "voice of moderation and restraint" while Trump reenacts Cockburn & Ross 1814.

They can be from the same state. The issue arises in particularly close elections because a delegate to the electoral college cannot cast both their votes for candidates from their state; only one. It would not be a big deal in a landslide victory, but could be an issue in a close election.

Trumps biggest problem is one of image and the fact that he is almost as polarizing as Hillary in 2016. He talked too much and did too little.

To be fair everyone opposed him for the first ten months.

This is my fantasy. Trump go's scorched earth for Four Solid Years. Then we get two terms of DeSantis.

Many people have the same fantasy.
In reality if trump runs we have four more years of the current circus, almost guaranteed.
No way trump wins, he needs to get out of the way and let desantis get the job done.

Yep, and I shake my head when I hear it. It's fvcking delusional.

Hope Trump wins for the 3rd time.

This fantasy that the media and deep state would not have make a circus out of any Republican President, even the “nice ones” like Jeb! needs to stop.

I know it’s hard to admit, especially for boomers, but this is where we are now. It was easy to blame it all on Trump’s personality, but we need to start seeing the world as it is, and not as we want it to be. The next GOP nominee is going to be “LITERALLY WORSE THAN HITLER” no matter who it ends up being.

That doesn’t mean you need to like Trump’s personality, it means you need to value his willingness to fight. Any GOP politician who tucks tail and runs when the fake news calls them racist is worthless. Less than worthless, they are an anchor.

If DeSantis runs this time I think he has a lot wins in FL to run on. I would rather see him challenge Trump and get some national campaign experience than be VP. I also think bringing him in as Secretary of State vs VP would be a better use of his skills.

I am done with the speeches. I do want action. I voted for DeSantis in the poll, but honestly, best bet would be Trump/DeSantis in 2024 then DeSantis in 2028/2032. This country is f'd up and a lot of government agencies need to have their houses cleaned at the upper levels. I am talking even criminal charges for some, and clear firing of many and NO pensions. First place to start is the FBI, it really is losing the trust of the people and more and more people are seeing it as the armed wing of the DNC since its all they go after hard is the DNC enemies.

Easiest one is can the 87k new armed IRS agents. Simply eliminate the positions.

As much as I don't want it to be Trump in 2024, you are not wrong.

Oh I would completely disband the FBI, every swinging dick. Quantico would be shut down. HRT too. In that case I have ZERO qualms about throwing the baby out with the bathwater. These much ballyhooed "honest rank and file agents" haven't shown up. You're ALL fired. Go be a county sheriff's deputy somewhere.

Not even that, stationhouse janitors.
