[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m surprised no one has suggested this yet, but I actually think a DeSantis/Cheney ticket would be the winner (assuming Trump doesn’t run). I think R’s would be shooting themselves in the foot if they nominate Trump again. Like someone said, he will be too old and likely on the edge of dementia by 2024, and the R’s really need a sharp candidate on the debate stage (let’s not forget the embarrassing 2020 Trump-Biden presidential debates (for both R and Ds!))

The Republicans need a fresh start to wash away their tarnished image with this latest J6 and Maralago garbage. DeSantis is on board with most of Trump’s policies (tough on China, secure the boarder, ensure personal freedoms, contain the woke corporations/government), which would appeal to the Trumpers and Republican base. Meanwhile, Cheney would appeal to the democrats left unfulfilled by a bad ticket on the D side because, let’s face it, there’s no one. She provides a sense of security/guarantee that she can keep R’s BS in check in Congress — plus she is a woman, so double whammy. It may actually be a huge step back towards the center, which we desperately need. Any candidate on the left will be controlled by the progressives and will be a huge waste of a vote, IMHO.

Youngkin is great, but too green and would not stand on the international front. I doubt he has the knowledge to address any of our national security concerns abroad. Hogan is ugly and uncharismatic. I total bore and not conservative enough for the Trump base.[/quote]

I'd vote for a DeSantis/Cheney (or vice-versa) ticket.  Sounds like a great pairing.  And I'd love it Youngkin either ran for Senator or was appointed head of an agency, maybe treasury or commerce.  And then a presidential run in the future.  [/quote]

I don't think DeSantis/Cheney could work because Cheney has pissed off too many MAGAs. DeSantis know that he must pander to this contingent to win and has been very successful in doing so. Teaming up with Cheney would tarnish DeSants's Trumpy credentials that he has been working hard to cultivate. Niki Haley would probably be a safer choice if he is looking to go with a woman.  [/quote]

Yeah, DeSantis is Trump 2.0. I don't see Cheney aligning herself with him or the Republican base going along with it.

As for this statement:

[quote]Meanwhile, Cheney would appeal to the democrats left unfulfilled by a bad ticket on the D side [/quote]

No. That is not going to happen. And especially not with DeSantis at the top of the ticket.[/quote]
