It is still way too early to know what will happen in the next presidential election, but the first Republican debates will take place on August 23, so things are heating up.
There will be no debates for the Democrats because Biden would not be allowed to use a teleprompter and to know in advance what his opponents would say to him. So that's understandable.
Trump is the obvious front-runner but I hope for the sake of the country that De Santis or someone can challenge him. Trump is a loser-he lost his own re-election and the two Senate seats in Georgia. Though I like many of his policies, he carries way too much baggage to be effective again. I don't think can capture enough votes from white suburban women to win. Many of them voted for him in 2016 and then turned against him in 2020. A republican needs those votes to win the presidency.
The Democrats think they can beat Trump with Grandpa Joe (and so they want to run against Trump) and I fear that they are right. Their only worry is that Joe checks out of this life before the election. Then what-Kamala?
Even Trump could trounce that imbecile.
My preference is De Santis, because he has done a great job governing Florida and that's the kind of person you want as president. I don't give a shit that he signed a law limiting abortions and that he got into a scrap with Disney. These issues can help him as much as hurt him. Nevertheless he needs to focus on the economy, illegal immigration, energy, foreign policy and other more important issues.
De Santis is not perfect but I hope he will perform well on the debate stage against Trump.
