    @Renauda said in DeSantis out?:

    My impression is that he didn’t have “the fire in his belly” to want it that much from the beginning. Just look at his prevarications leading up to his announcement to campaign. The desire just was not there and people sensed it. That could change down the road - he has the smarts and ability.

    I think you’re right, but he was convinced by those around him he had to strike while the iron was hot

    You mean run for the presidency?

    He's a viable candidate for 2028.

      Agreed. Just needed to have Trump out of the way.

            It's politics.

            Nikki ain't beating Trump in the primaries. The party will start to coalesce around the nominee.

                    True.

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

                          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.

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