    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      Ha... every politician has to have a witty book title.

      Also, he's wearing boots. While I respect him and how he handled the 2020 election loss, why is he wearing boots? The shit he had to step through? He isn't a cowboy republican like Bush or Reagan.

          The actual title and subtitle of the book are:

          "So Help Me God

          Please let me get these boots off that they made me wear for the book cover to make me look like the common man"

            Those boots don't look real stylish. I'd say they're work boots.

            Funny how he releases this right after midterms, huh. As much as I respect him, he has zero chance at the nomination. Mega-Trumpers will blame him for 1/6, the more moderate Repubs will blame him for being part of the Trump administration.

              I agree. He is too Trumpy for the anti-Trump people and not Trumpy enough for the pro-Trump people.

                Yeah he could attract anti-trump evangelicals but that’s a pretty small overlap.

                Maybe David French and his wife.

                  He's also too vanilla, no real excitement. A polished politician who, in hindsight, we are fortunate to have had as Trump's VP.

                  The nomination should be DeSantis' to lose. Maybe he'll pick Tim Scott (black republican!) as VP.

                    @89th

                    Real question though, does Trump burn it all down if he loses? I mean his party.

                      Who knows. The GOP has a good opportunity right now to learn from the midterms and rally around the future of the party (someone like DeSantis, maybe some "diversity' on the ticket, too). Could also help attract the growing latino vote. Plus, with Biden's economy, DeSantis could attract some independents and even convert some democrats the way Reagan did after Carter's term.

                      That being said, there are no good outcomes if Trump announces tonight that he runs. Sure, he could be indicted, he could quit the race early because <excuse> before the primaries start, but otherwise he'll either lose in the primaries and burn the GOP in the process, or he'll win in the primaries and burn the GOP when he loses the general election. I guess there's a chance he'd win in the general election but I can't imagine that happening.
