About a whole year ago already, I announced on SS that I support Ron DeSantis for President. I still do but I'm a little chagrined that DeSantis has veered further to the right than I am. Still, he's demonstrated that he can be effective running the Executive Branch of a government. Among all the candidates, I continue to think DeSantis would be the most effective President.
Having said that, pb thinks that it's at least 95% that Trump is the GOP nominee in 024. See link for the current betting line.
pb thinks that DeSantis is already running for 028.
OD has mentioned that he's backed off from Haley because she broke the 11th Commandment. DeSantis hasn't gotten close to that sort of violation. I'm convinced he won't. If you follow him, it's not hard to suspect that he's taken a long-term view of the campaign.
So, Trump will win the nomination. Whether he's elected or not, my guess is that he won't be a serious candidate in 028. Whoever Trump picks for Veep will be a serious candidate in 028, if not the frontrunner, and DeSantis will be there. If I'm not pushin daisies by then, I'll most likely be supporting DeSantis in 028.
So there.
