Choosing Trump over DeSantis for 2024 is political suicide
By Zachary Faria, Commentary Writer

Election 2022 Florida Governor

The biggest takeaway as Republicans limp to the finish line in the midterm elections is that former President Donald Trump is toxic and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is a winner. Choosing Trump over DeSantis for 2024 would be political suicide.

Trump’s handpicked candidates were disasters up and down the ballot. In Pennsylvania, gubernatorial candidate Doug Mastriano was an anchor on GOP candidates, and Mehmet Oz couldn’t defeat the empty husk of John Fetterman in a Senate race that was crucial for the GOP to win. Kari Lake and Blake Masters are currently projected to lose in Arizona.

Trump scared New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu away from seeking the GOP nomination for the Senate. Sununu cruised to reelection in his race, while election conspiracy theorist Don Bolduc lost the Senate race in his stead. Trump tried to destroy Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger in GOP primaries. Now, both Kemp and Raffensperger have easily clinched reelection, while Trump-endorsed Herschel Walker won't even break 50%, sending Georgia to another Senate runoff.

To top it all off, while Democrats were celebrating a better-than-expected performance, Trump was celebrating right along with them, cheering as Republican Joe O’Dea fell short in the Colorado Senate race.

Choosing Trump in 2016 was political suicide.

Turns out Trump is toxic.  The dems will lay off of him now as he's damaged goods.  They'll set their sights on DeSantis.

No, it's sowed chaos, upset the established order, shook things up. He disrupted things. He was fine for his time and place but now he's the wrong man for the job.

Nope. He helped to cut the TEA Party off at the knees. Cruz was the shining boy in that... Finally moving the TEA Party into national power and party power.

But people like shiny sh*t.  :shrug: :whistle:

We can not lose sight of what Trump accomplished.  He made headway and he uncovered the corruption in DC and made people realize just how corrupt our gov't is.

For me Trump was fine right up until the time he started going after a very popular and conservative governor. The two of them running against each other would once again create division among the GOP voting base, just like there was with Trump and Cruz, though DeSantis is much more popular than Cruz.  The GOP and conservatives cannot afford another division.

Ya, well, I think that issue has been long forgotten.  The DEMS are going to keep digging up stuff on Trump ... but they will also try to take down DeSantis.  I would love to see him run, but I don't think he will.  Maybe another political seat in FL, at most either the Senate or House at the federal level.  Ron may decide to run for a FL justice. I don't think he's going to subject himself or his family to the DC guillotine.

   If asked, IMHO, Ron DeSantis will be there to answer his Country's Call, as he was before.  I'd bet he's boneing up on the Trump/Cruz videos as we speak.

Showmen NEED the swamp.    They need the shoulders of villains to stand on. To give them a stage. 4 years in office, after a campaign promise of draining the swamp, he not only lost the House mid term, one could argue the swamp got deeper.

Midterms voters and presidential year voters are different people though right? Midterms tend to bring out the base types. Presidential years tend to bring out the potheads and people who like shiny things, wrestling/porn fans, etc. Hence my point, Trump had different strengths than Desantis.

Absolute positively 100% correct.  Trump was never a 'drain-the-swamp' guy.  The only reason we have a Mitch McConnell and a Ronna McDaniel today is because of Trump.
