Here is my take for what its worth. Trump wins and this time begins to clean house, draining the swamp, that takes a Mr. Hyde to do. Also, he becomes the Evil Force that our enemies on the worldwide stage are in desperate fear of.

He then assigns his VP candidate, which could be DeSantis, Scott or Ramaswamy (just to name a few), and he could also assign them to his cabinet. But they have to be younger and have a strong voice and can turn into a Mr. Hyde when called upon to do so.

Plus, there are a few women who can fill the role of VP and/or cabinet quite nicely to round it out.

Bottom-line its time to cut the crap, take out the garbage, stifle the RINO's and ride out the oldies like Schumer, Feinstein, Romney and a host of others. And definitely time to oust several of the consultant types, get rid of certain departments, and send a loud and clear message that MAGA is the only way to proceed.

Then they need to proceed to clean up our political voting machine which we all know exists and has existed for a while now.

As for the RINO's and those picked for cabinet positions, if they cannot show loyalty to the American People and their party, then it's time for them to leave.

This all takes, in my opinion, several Mr. Hydes and their take no prisoner's approach.

My 2 cents.

Good analogy! It is indeed sad that Trump hasn't evolved in ways that he should have--and is now very bitter. I hate when he attacks DeSantis but that's his nature when he feels remotely threatened. My FB friends in his base are still loyal to him and invent all sorts of idiocy against. DeSantis (you mentioned a few).Some want DeSantis as VP--also absurd. The VP has to attract people who wouldn't vote for the head of the ticket.

As a political body we need to ween ourselves of the political pied pipers of pleasant words and allied ideas. Anyone with a mouth can spout these. Look at actions, track records and most notably, who the opposition fears. Trump leads, hands down.

I will continue to assert that the best choice for the USA would be DeSantis/Pompeo. DeSantis an effective implementer of policy and Pompeo who know where the "policies" hide.

For pets's sake people ! didn't you see the "F" curve 2020 election? or the really popular joe biden have the Best midterm performance in history in 2022. There is only one party in DC . mcconell and schumer are joined at the hip in serving the same donor class. I have worked on political campaigns for over 40 years. thats all done . voting changes nothing. once long ago it did. but it hasn't for a decade or two. none of this is worth a minute of your time . vote harder next time guys! it'll fil everything !

Two fixes needed. Karl, not Carl, and the sentence beginning with "Then image of Trump..."

DeSantis is backed by Murdoch and if I recall rightly was encouraged by Jeb Bush. He was also a Gitmo lawyer for the military. For some reason I suspect he is just another brick in the wall. Trump of course is old line CIA asset going back to Resorts International.

I am very fearful of how this is all going to go down. Trump OUGHT to still be president. But he's not, and I hold pretty low hope that he can be elected this time around. Who should accept a VP spot with him? Tough question. Sure, make it the black guy, or the Indian, or one of the women. Go for that diversity vote. But don't you think being Trump's running mate is the kiss of death for your political future if Trump is not actually elected? And, as I said, I am quite fearful that if Trump manages to pull off being the nominee, there are enough "anybody but Trump" votes out there to keep him out of the office. At this point, the majority of Democrat voters say they don't approve of the job Biden is doing, yet the vast majority of them also say they would still vote for him if he's the Democratic candidate. Then there's what Trump is doing to DeSantis. If Trump wins the nomination over DeSantis, he it will be after doing a lot of damage to DeSantis, and it could be damage that would prevent us from having a good shot at a DeSantis presidency following Trump. We have a LOT of work to do.
