As it stands today, DeSantis would have my primary vote. Why?
1. Most important is that the GOP wins in 2024. The man who pulled a swing state governorship by double digits is a strong candidate.
2. He has a pro-freedom record in Florida to show how he would handle the presidency
3. He pushes back and easily shuts down the main stream media with coherent, mature arguments
4. Whether we like it or not, there is a significant establishment presence in the GOP on the hill. DeSantis is able to work within that structure.
5. The Deep State will never let go of the desire to destroy Trump. Even if he won, we would see another 4 wasted years of investigations that would handcuff his ability to get his agenda done.
6. The amount of moderates, suburban women mainly, who are solid 'never Trumpers' means even the smallest amount of election interference or flat out cheating would put Biden, or whomever the DNC candidate ends up being, over the edge.
7. We are heading into tricky economic times and foreign relations- we need someone who is willing to make the tough decisions (that will also maintain liberty over all else and uphold the Constitution). DeSantis has proven he will do that (bans on ESG, CBDCs, etc.)
8. Trump lost my vote when he didn't fight against lockdowns and till this day thinks that those horrendous 'vaccine' products were a good thing. (to cater to the folks that want to argue that DeSantis locked down, too. Yes, he did -the difference is that he pulled international experts and looked at other nations' data, saw the trends, and then altered his course appropriately. That is what a strong leader should do.)
Regardless of who is on the ticket next November, if we can't fix our broken election system, we are going to lose. At this stage of the game, the more voices the better, but people are wasting their time fighting over their choice when they should be fighting for election integrity.
