The self-immolation of Ron DeSantis.

[WarGamer]

Not a smart guy...

Obviously the heir apparent to Trump... all he had to do was endorse Trump and give a "This is not the time, Florida needs me for 4 more years..." speech

Then win or lose in 24 nd Trump gets behind DeSantis 110%...

Doesn't take a brain surgeon to see that Trump wins the 24 nomination going away and Crispy-Cake, Dense, Loser and "Who-dat" are merely speedbumps.

Now, DeSantis will be bruised, the MAGAt's may or may not be behind him in 28...

[calimary]

1. I kinda doubt trump will get behind anybody.

You've heard the expression "me, myself, and I" ? Well, with trump it's him, himself, and him.

[maxsolomon]

2. He may be positioning for 2028.

he'll be the runner up to President Utter Asshole this time, so he'll be the front runner in 2028.

problem is, the more people see him, the more they dislike him. but will they dislike him more than they hate Kamala in '28?

[WarGamer]

3. VP will be a candidate in 28...

But Newsom will be roaring in HARD.

[maxsolomon]

6. I agree; Harris may not even try.

Newsom's been emailing me at a furious pace - I had to unsubscribe in self-defense.

9. I don't think he's our best shot. Am saying

that as a Californian. Better to have someone from the middle of the country. Gretchen Whitmer! Okay, finished with my 2028 outbursts

[jcgoldie]

14. Big Gretch!

Will be a force nationally.

[Demsrule86]

19. If Kamala runs Newsome should not run....we will end up losing the General if he does. And I have

concerns about whether he can win rust belt states that are essential in a General. I like the guy, but will he be able to move to the middle where the election will be won?

8. In 2028 Trump jr almost certainly running

He'll be broke by then and need the cash

[WarGamer]

10. late night comedians rejoice.

[gratuitous]

16. Needy Amin will run again in 2028

Whether Republican voters would give him yet another bite at the electoral apple in 2028 after losing the popular vote three times in a row by increasing margins is an open question right this minute. He may not be the Republican nominee in 2024, but that's the trend. He hasn't done jack shit to reverse the 7.1 million loss of 2020, and he could lose in 2024 by 10 million votes.

4. 'And Trump gets behind DeSantis 110%"

You haven't figured out Trump's approach to loyalty?

[republianmushroom]

5. agree with posting.

[FakeNoose]

7. It's further proof what an idiot DeSantis is, was, and will continue to be ...

[rsdsharp]

11. Whether Florida "needs" him, or not, he's barred from running for Governor in '24.

[WarGamer]

12. ahaaa.... that might explain the urgency to run in 24

[genxlib]

15. He was elected in '22

And serves until '26

Not happy about it but he has a job at least that long.

[rsdsharp]

17. Either way, he can't run again.

[genxlib]

18. True

But this idea that he ran for president because he needed the "next thing" just isn't the case.

In fact he is ignoring the position he has to run for President.

This is all ego and opportunism.

It would have made much more sense for him to wait it out and run in 28. He would have been done with the Governors office in 26 so he could have been a full time candidate.

But the truth is that he had 15 minutes of fame and I think everyone knew that 4 more years of him in office would make his prognosis worse.

I hope he gets embarrassed and crawls off never to be seen again (a la Bobby Jindal)

13. Yeah, MoRon deSadist is an

EGOManiacal self-immolator, alright
