DeSantis-Gabbard Yeah, that's the ticket.
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations

Personally, I find the idea of politicians using tax money to knowingly send "bad people" to areas where they hope they have a greater chance of harming people who support the opposing party to be pretty reprehensible and divisive.
Even if you appreciate such things, I can't imagine republicans or independents or non-voters in Pittsburgh will appreciate DeSantis sending sex offenders their way because the area happens to be "mostly blue." Hell, why doesn't someone run for president on the promise of dropping bombs on states that don't vote for him?
And here is a biased reply for you: Neither Trump nor Biden should be president. I will say seeing DeSantis flounder in a debate against a man who used to represent the GOP doesn't bode well for his 2024 bid.
I agree neither Trump nor Biden should be President in 2024.
So you agree Biden sending thousands of illegal aliens all over the country via plane rides without the consent of the receiving area is reprehensive and divisive.

It was legal.
And the states were notified and the proper agencies prepared.
The exact opposite of the sunt pulled by Abbott and DeSantis.
So no.
Your anger and ego will always reveal your true self.

It could happen, but it would also be interesting to see if republicans who want to move on have to watch Trump completely destroy their hopes for that ticket by making up a bunch of nonsense and throwing a bunch of insults and sound bytes at them and then saying if they win the primary it is rigged and so on and so forth.
I'll be exceedingly disappointed if the 2024 primaries aren't the most entertainingly chaotic thing ever.
Ron Desantis’s excuse for why he will only do interviews with Fox, and won’t go on other networks or sit with any other journalists for an interview, is because he doesn’t want them to “set the narrative.”
The simple truth is that he is a coward who can’t handle real questions.

Please don't let me pull my J.D. card out, now that Fred Toast is gone.
This two party system really grinds my gears. Libertarians aren't all about securing the border, but you don't see democrat or republican politicians saying "Oh, let's send all these dangerous illegals to one of those yellow states since those libertarian maniacs find border security to be so anathematic to freedom!"
I don't know what is crazier, a 3rd party winning a state or a politician using the word "anathematic."

It was interesting seeing an actual GOP politician have to turn democrat in order to run against one of the new culture-war style republicans in DeSantis. I don't think DeSantis can handle debates on the presidential level, plus he's only a few years removed from being a millennial, and we know how much republicans hate millennials.

But not Biden or Kamala because they are cowards.
Here is a cool liberal and I am not talking about Tulsi Gabbard going on what was a hardcore Fox News show.
To all the hypocrites that whine about Tulsi going on Fox News.
You focus on the "going on," and not what was said, defended, or not defended.
Obama and O'Reilly are at odds--Dem vs Republican talking points.
Tulsi didn't appear much at odds with Tucker, as both are Dem bashers.
I don't see much "bravery" there.
And some Fox shows I'd be leery about as well, as the goal of a Hannity or Carlson or
Ingraham would be to confirm bias and grievance. Would I be sandwiched between
another griever who asked questions faster than I could answer them?
Still, have to admit I might give it a shot, bring up Hannity's past comments and compare them
to the present. "Sean, why do you suppose Trump ignored your pleas to stop the riot?"
