I want Trump in as soon as possible, and that means the House. In 2022, maximum effort on taking back the House. Anybody can be Speaker, BTW, though it would be a no brainer for Trump to win any non-Dark Blue FL CD.
Now watch how quickly Trump turns on DeSantis. I can't wait to find out what nickname Trump is going to give him. Being more popular than Trump is NOT allowed!
Perhaps there should be 70 or 75 yr age limit for office holders. Also, DeSantis will get a few hundred thousand votes because of Hispanic-sounding name.
It's okay for legislators to be of advanced age; but Executives should be under 70-75 by law.

So if the primary comes down to DeSantis and Trump, you don't think that Trump will throw the kitchen sink at DeSantis?
But seriously, we need some young blood in the executive AND the legislative.
Example: you get 5 votes to select candidates and you vote 1 through 5 on your order of preference for the candidates. The candidate with the highest "preference" of votes wins.
It’s difficult to understand DeSantis’s appeal without talking about Donald Trump. Trump is still the party’s de facto leader and he’s publicly flirting with running in 2024. The centrist, hawkish wing of the Republicans — Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger, et al. — and the DC pundit class believe that the party will return to ‘normal’ if Trump and his alleged personality cult fade into the night. But they have never understood that Trump was a vessel for nationalist and populist ideas that had simmered for years. A recent Quinnipiac poll shows that policy now precedes personality: more Republican voters want the winner of the 2024 primary to align with Trump on the issues than want Trump to run again.
There will be other trial balloons from the establishment trying to do away with our current system of voting. They are going to try to go with a system of voting by preference.
Example: you get 5 votes to select candidates and you vote 1 through 5 on your order of preference for the candidates. The candidate with the highest "preference" of votes wins.
This allows the establishment to run several opposition candidates against a single populist candidate. Thereby diluting the preference votes for the populist.
Yes, they are going to try this shit.
You know that poll is pure bullshit, Pompeo would trash Terd Cruz in an election between just the two of them. .
