As a democrat, you are better off with DeSantis. Trump is tarnished. Trump should just endorse him. Otherwise we will get Biden and Kamala again. My vote is for DeSantis.

[adamkatz]

That being said TRUMP need to watch how he handles DESANTIS. Desantis has an extremely large following which could hurt TRUMP if he attacks Desantis.

[jayvilla]

At this point I’d vote in a shoe box over Biden. He ain’t doing nothing to help us.

[maggiemims]

45 may run but he'll just lose again. The majority of Americans won't vote for him. And what's he gonna do? Have another mental break

[adamkatz]

These two need to help and work with one another no matter which one grabs the nomination.

I much prefer DeSantis to Trump. He's well spoken and behaved. He also agrees on infrastructure for a growing Florida, so he can be bipartisan. He's a better option to reach between party lines .

Ngl id take Desantis over Trump. Similar characteristics but less stupidity and more pro USA

[josejones]

Now trump hates desantis. Funny how he was kissing up to trump but when trump saw the polls trump turmed against ron. Now they are at odds. Ahaahahhaha loveee it!!!!

[peggyblairjr]

C'mon Trump is a train wreck with Desantis it's a total disaster

[adamkatz]

I would not like to see Desantis as president. GOV Desantis needs to hold the line in Florida which I EXTREMELY important. We can not allow a democrat GOV OF FLORIDA

[savannahm.laurentian]

Yes, Virginia, there is a Dumb and Dumber.

[jimmycarter]

Great they can’t get in fast enough for me

[michelbisson]

i support desantis, i was pro trump but as he is anti cryto currency i cannot support him anymore

[Hydroflask-ckvb]

we love Trump, we need Trump the Best President Trump we must save America .

[innerlocus]

How can a known insurrectionist who should be in jail like his comrades, run for political office?

[ifiknewthen]

What a nightmare that will be. Either way, it's a nightmare!!!

[tree]

These people shouldn’t be able to step foot in the White House.

[redspiralray]

Desantis looks like a guy who has bodies in his crawlspace.

[neuroticnation]

But what is Ron Desantos’s chance against Biden?

[taniaburton]

Terrifying. I knew this world happen. Somebody squash him.
