Ron DeSantis (R) likes being Florida governor, but would rather be president. He’s sort of a frontrunner for the 2024 GOP nomination, if Trump for some reason (whatever reason) doesn’t run. So let’s check out how DeSantis views the condition of our society: Pete Buttigieg: “If a[...]

Say what?
From Huffington Post, Monday, February 7, 2022 (story here): “If President Trump runs for reelection, I believe he would defeat Joe Biden, and I don’t want Kamala Harris to have the power as vice president to overturn that election,” Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), who is facing reelection in No[...]
Pence vs. Trump

Hillary for president in 2024?
No, no, no, I’m not suggesting it! But could it actually happen that Democrats nominate her? Journalist Joe Concha, writing for The Hill (here), speculates they might; I’m unsure whether he’s saying that tongue-in-cheek. He assumes Biden won’t run for a second term (even thou[...]
