Apparently, Mr. Trump and Mr. DeSantis met recently. What they talked about we don’t know, but hopefully it was about putting DeSantis on the ticket as Trump’s Vice-President. I know you people in Florida want RDS to remain as your governor, and that is totally understandable. You’d just have to elect another conservative Republican.
I think putting DeSantis on the ticket would be the smartest thing Trump could do. A Trump-DeSantis ticket would easily be the most powerful ticket the Republicans could have. Compare it to Biden-Harris…
Of course, we know nothing yet. Would Mr. Trump want DeSantis as his running mate? Would DeSantis even want the job? Veeps don’t do a whole lot, what this would mainly do for DeSantis is set him up better for a 2028 run. A lot of Republicans want this ticket, but the question is, do the two men involved both want it?
I tend to be a little skeptical. We have two very headstrong men here, and that doesn’t usually mix very well. Trump might want somebody who isn’t a threat to show him up or go off on his own. How well could RDS be a team player? I don’t know, but it is a concern.
We’ll see. I expect Mr. Trump to announce his VP choice soon.
