Why would DeSantis want to hitch his wagon to the train wreck that is Donald J. Trump?

Trump claims DeSantis would be working in a cigar store now if it wasn't for his endorsement: 'He's got no personality. That tends to be bad for a politician' Good luck with the running mate plan.

DEEBEE, that could actually happen---in spite of all the current rancor, sniping and skirmishing. Bury the hatchet (hopefully not in someone's back) and move forward! Can see it now: Trump DeSantis '24 'n More...

The quasi-elective vice presidency is a witless 5th wheel office which should have long since been abolished. Ideally, we assign all federal agencies and corporations to a cabinet department under a single executive or to a trusteeship under a seven-member board and then assemble the departments and trusteeships into portfolios whose composition is at the president’s discretion. You can have each portfolio supervised by an appointed vice president.

As for election campaigns, provide for political parties to be run, between party conventions, by standing conferences composed of their most recent candidates for public office – Congress and statewide office at the federal level, state legislative candidates and county-wide offices at the state level. If a candidate for a prominent public office dies during the campaign, is incapacitated during the campaign, or is removed from the ballot for some other reason, the conferences can meet on short notice and choose a new candidate so long as their is time to reprint the ballots (ten days will do). No need to have a formal understudy.

IMO, I would have liked him to say — firstly if I get in I am not going to lose. Follow that up with but if the real Repubs are that bent upon getting Trump in and he needs a guy with executive experience to clean up the deep state I am willing to serve my country in anyway.

JFK tried to fight it and Dallas, Texas was vilified for decades when his own government fought against sound investigation.

The real John F. Kennedy was a mainstream Democrat of a less populist bent than the man who succeeded him. His death has been adequately investigated.

Interesting to see so many folks speak of elections as if the USA still had legitimate ones.

In NH (I have not validated this, but then, it’s not my job!) I understand that 3000 folks who have long since moved out of the state but are still registered in and voted in NH (Did they vote in their new home as well or were their registrations coopted?).

Then there are the 6000ish out of state students who vote here. On and on it goes as the R’s cop some Z’s.
