Now that Donny seems to be a sinking ship, I am sensing more and more GOPers starting to realize that DeSantis is short and chubby with a nasally voice that makes you want to kill yourself. Not exactly presidential material.

The problem is who else could they run? Right now DeSantis is the obvious choice. Granted, that could change in two years.

Trump’s biggest advantage in politics is that people underestimate him and his support.
The mind hungers for that on which it feeds.

If anyone believes Trump is going to win the election I will gladly bet against it.

I wouldn’t count him out for the nomination.

Oh I’d never count him out for the nomination!

Especially if it’s a 2016 repeat and the GOP doesn’t coalesce behind one anti-trump candidate in the primary. A split field is his best hope.

I don’t think democrats will take to funding Trump’s campaign like they did trumped candidates in the midterm. But right now it’s next to impossible to tell what circumstances will be in two years.

I already bet on Trump not winning election, against Wiz, on WoV. Send him a pm. He may want more action. I don’t remember exactly but I gave him around 4-1 odds. No, that sentence doesn’t mean Trump is running against the Wiz.

Desantis pushes for socialism in Florida.
The going rates for property insurance is exploding
I don't see how Florida survives as a free market state.
No doubt DeSantis is going to socialism to save insurance companies
