True.

But if Trump can just peel off some of that black vote...

[Jolly]

BTW,would DeSantis take a cabinet post in a Trump administration?

[Mik]

Over governor? After Trumps animosity? Nah.

Agreed.

Supposedly (too lazy to look) Trump was gracious in accepting DeSantis' support.

If DeSantis has a brain in his head, and I think he does, he'd distance himself from Trump as far as possible, while maintaining some political cover.

[Mik]

Yep.

You mean run for the presidency?

He's a viable candidate for 2028.

It took Reagan a couple of tries as well before he made it. DeSantis is young and competent.

The problem is probably half of DeSantis' voters will go to Trump, and half to Nikki (aka anti-Trump). Whereas if Nikki dropped out, all of her voters would go to DeSantis (anti-Trump). Oh well, at least it gives Nikki a very slim chance, but it's hard to see her winning the majority in each state...

Trump: 64
Haley: 25
DeSantis: 8

Read the Spectator article.

[LuFins Dad]

This DeSantis guy is praying for Manchin.

[Copper]

There are so many people who hate Mr. Trump, Ms. Haley should stick around just in case any of them succeed in knocking him out of the race.

[LuFins Dad]

Nah, she should stick around just in case he actually winds up in jail.
