    I think she will not leave in the middle of a term as DeSantis is trying to do, but if she is out of office by then....

    Which DeSantis pledged NOT to do when he was running for governor.
    That said, after his dynamic win in Florida, I’m sure he was being pressured from all directions with the thought that he might beat Trump.

    He was flooded with money from Republican donors and encouraged to run against Trump. Sad that he went against his pledge, but then Trump is the first "politician" to keep his promises in my memory.

    Maybe everything that's changing in America is a taste of how the Native American's felt when those from other countries came in and took over. What goes around comes around in this world.

    There's a good statement, who doesn't change their mind when we learn something new. People that don't ever change their mind aren't learning anything, and remain close-minded.

    My gut instincts aren't always right, maybe even "rarely" but Ramaswamy just seems more personable and honest than the rest of the bunch. Wouldn't mind voting for him as VP.

    Yeah, but as I alluded to, I think the two would butt heads hard and strong but fortunately, if indeed Ramey winds up next to Trump, Trump can’t fire his Vice President because I think if he could, it wouldn’t be long until he would.

    I'm sure if I listened to more of the debates, or just 'swamy being interviewed I might agree but I truly don't have a clue how he and Trump would get along. Seems they do have a lot in common, and there's always Trump getting worried someone is going to upstage him, plus what he's learned about turn-coats that pretend to be all for him and then turned against him.

    I'm glad I never wanted to even try to be rich and famous, or heaven forbid, be a part of the government. Sure dodged a lot of bullets winding up a nobody ;)

    It’s perhaps way off topic Denise but do remember that the angel appeared to the shepards, the nobodies as it were and declared, unto YOU a child is born..etc. The angel didn’t go to the rich and famous or even to a king. The angel appeared to….some nobodies.

    Seems to me that if a nobody is good enough for an angel to declare the most important message in the world to, I’m more than honored to be a nobody.

    But, isn’t that the way the government is supposed to work? All us nobodies are supposed to be finding someone who will work for us, not the other way around.

    I guess that makes us nobodies pretty important.

    This might be a tad off topic but it is about political debates and This Canadian debate is how Ours should look and be held.
