I could see it. Similar to Scott Walker in 2016, he's a super hyped up candidate with a real chance to flame out.

You have to connect with Afro Americans, DeSantis doesn't, and in order to win MI, WI and PA, the Afro American population make or break and Election, Biden has enough Support along with Females to get Reelected

Republicans can win with very little African American support. This happens every time they win an election.

Starting to feel  that he is overated. Lot of oppo is coming out on my twitter feed. I would not be surprised if he falters. We see how he does in his reelection bid. I'm not ready to write him off.

He is overhyped he is an R not a D and as soon as the time comes, to campaign for Prez, when he steps out of FL, we will see with his tax cuts that he wants no Entitlements and tax cuts. No income tax in FL

Possibly Scott Walker 2.0 or an equivalent to Kamala in 2020. She was hyped early on, was riding high in summer before the election and started tanking in the fall before dropping out. DeSantis becoming the vice presidential candidate under someone like Mike Pompeo would be reasonable to assume. I think Pompeo has good chances to earn Trump's endorsement and then run in the general. Unless a major scandal or economic crash erupts, President Biden will handily defeat him.

Keep in mind Obama, Bush, Biden did not have this kind of opposition nor where they criticized so much in the past. Harris and Walker where.

“I don’t like DeSantis” = He’s overhyped, he’ll be the next Walker/Rubio/Jeb/Cain/etc.

“I like DeSantis” = He’ll win the nomination and romp in the general election by winning all of Trump’s and Romney’s voters and more, so Trump 2016 + ME, MN, NH, NJ, NM, NV (double digit win), OR, and VA.

A couple of differences to note, compared to the Scott Walker or Pete/Kamala comparisons:


in 2015, there was a massive field of Republicans itching to get the nomination after 8 years of Obama, and these were serious, well funded candidates with non-insubstantial political differences-from Rubio, Bush, Cruz, Paul, Christie, Kasich and Trump, all fiercely vying for the nomination, as well as a number of less serious candidates.

In 2019, every Democratic senator, governor, house rep, and dogcatcher wanted to be the one to knock off Orange Man.  The Media went through stages of having it's own darling, none of whom ended up with an actual chance at the nomination.

2023 is going to be a different situation, because every potential GOP nominee (that has an actual chance of being nominated) is going to be united on it's view on Trump and Trump-ism/the policies of the Trump admin.  Every candidate, even those initially cold to Trump (Haley/Rubio etc...) is running as a functional second Trump term.

The GOP field thus far is not particularly strong.  I don't view someone like Cotton, Pompeo or Noem as someone who can win either the nomination or the GE.  Has-beens like Paul/Rubio/Cruz probably won't fare much better.  DeSantis looks quite good in comparison, and his interparty popularity reflects that.  Obviously, if Trump runs again all of this is a moot point.

DeSantis parroted Trump he didn't have his own agenda unlike McCain, he voted for Trump tax cuts and Trump in the H, so why vote DeSantis and you can have Trump.

All the R party knows is tax cuts for rich if they have a different strategy like closing tax loopholes and putting time limits on the rich on SSA then they can be elected

Congratulations on your successful prediction. (I came to the same conclusion, but not until October 2022 - you were earlier by a year and a half.)

FL and TX and parts of OH have turned into R based states and AZ, NC, GA have become D based states

That's why Trump polls so well OH, TX and FL and not so well I'm NC, GA and AZ, that's why DeSantis message hasn't got off the ground as I said earlier he offered nothing than parroting Trump on tax cuts, at least Romney said close the tax loopholes in 2012, thats not the R party anymore, its tax cuts for super rich all the time

He's not going anywhere beyond Florida, unless he completely overhauls his entire personality.

You are a joke with that!

POTUS, Veep or Cabinet Secretary in a possible Youngkin Administration after 2028 is still very much a possibility.

Florida is quickly becoming the home of failed and/or overhyped presidential candidates.

Youngkin's not going anywhere beyond Virginia. Not because of his personality, you understand; because he can't run for re-elex in '25 and keep his name in people's heads on the off-chance he wins (which, I don't know about that--Spanberger seems to be running a decent campaign so far).

Now, I could see the Matt Walsh administration hiring DeFat after '28, because even though he's doing Judged, I'm still convinced Walsh will somehow be the next Republican nominee after Trump.
