They let Sarah Palin go for VP one year who’s essentially the same version with more city miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats kinda why I'm thinking it wouldn't go over well. You're right she'll do what Pence wouldn't n stay loyal to Trump no matter what. Which is another reason I don't think the big whigs would be real supportive. Scary possibility tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarah Palin at least went to the University of Idaho. Must resist the urge to make funs. 😬 I think Truman is one of the only modern Presidents to not have a college degree.

I said modern Presidents. 😉 Lincoln and Grover Cleveland for example were not college educated and perfectly cromulent presidents. Truman is the only modern one without a college degree. He did a pretty damn good job in office too. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tshile Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 I have a feeling DeSantis being the nominee, and the general democrats vibe/opinion that DeSantis is just another version of trump (you’re wrong but you won’t agree with what I have to say so it’s not worth arguing), is going to make way for Biden to shift from “but I’m the one that can beat trump” to “well I’m still going to run even though it’s not trump” If DeSantis can shift to a nationally appealing character, I’m not convinced Biden has much of a chance. But that’s sort of naive to say without ‘22 exit polling to consider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would expect him to pivot to a non-trumpy person to appeal better on the national stage. Plus - I can’t imagine he’d be successful running as Trump 2.0 while the party is waging a war against trump for destroying the party. He’s going to have separate himself from that, while not alienating that part of the base. So he’ll pivot to a different type of character and let the people behind the scenes take down trump. Hoping to leave room for even the most ardent Trump supporters to feel comfortable supporting DeSantis without feeling like they’re supporting the guy that stabbed trump in the back.

Do you think as of now DeSantis is the favorite for the nominee? I'm too much of an eeyore to think that the Trump show is over. The timing of when Biden announces is interesting. I don't really think he wants to run, but he will if it looks like Trump is the nominee. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he’s got the backing and support. And its not even close compared to others. But the thing is - its 2 years away and that’s a long time. I feel like the general trend is the nominee winds up NOT being the one that is the favorite this early on. So generally if I were to bet on it, I’d take the field right now with great odds knowing that’s how it normally works out and the payout on that bet is so high because the public is hammering on DeSantis to win out. The thing that’s different is Trump. The GOP cannot afford to put 13 people on stage again - trump will win. They also can’t afford to sit on their ass and wait for the election to get closer. They have to act quick and decisive - they can’t have pence or youngkin or Rubio or anyone else joining the fray and watering down the anti-trump vote in the primaries. So I could see this being a time that breaks the trend and the early favorite is the nominee. The ‘24 cycle will show us how much power the traditional people in the GOP have. If trump is facing off against DeSantis and maybe 1 or 2 randoms that aren’t in the club, then they’ve regained control. If there’s 12-14 people on stage again then they failed and the party is in total disarray Edited November 10, 2022 by tshile 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88Comrade2000 Posted November 10, 2022 Author Share Posted November 10, 2022 I wouldn’t just anoint Desantis just yet. No doubt he’s the current darling. How Will he perform on the national stage. Not every state he campaigns in will be like Florida. Also, how will he do when actually challenged. The Ring of Fire/ Faron Balanced guy made an interesting observation about Desantis. He doesn’t like to be challenged. You challenged him on anything he gets flustered and angry. In a gop debate, especially against Trump; how will he do? Just because he looks like a king in his home state; he’s untested. We seen so called stars in both parties flame out in a presidential campaign.
