Have they taken a look at how DeSantis is doing these days in Florida. He ain’t exactly in the running for Man of the Year.

Floridians don't think that highly of DeSantis, and just think what dumping the fundigelicals will do to THEIR turnout...

Bring it on, turd.

Under the 12th Amendment, the presidential and vice-presidential nominees run as a pair. Pence will be nominated as VP this month. He can’t be replaced as a political ploy.

In addition, electors can’t vote for a Pres and Vice President candidate who are both from their state. That would mean the automatic loss of Florida, which Trump can’t afford.

Finally, I don’t think DeSantis is all that popular. What would be the point?

Trump will say he doesn't even know anyone named DeSantis.
