The question is not really whether Sea Island will attempt to regain their power position in 2028 through Ron DeSantis, the question is more appropriately considered: from what position will they launch DeSantis into 2028.
The Florida Governor’s term ends in 2026. Will the traditional path of a year in the private sector to accumulate wealth be followed, or will DeSantis take this opportunity to fill the Senate Seat of Marco Rubio with himself.

Perhaps the last sentence in that statement provides a clue. No one uses the phrase “proven record of results” more than the tribe of power organizers who constructed the public image of Ron DeSantis. You cannot converse with a member of Sea Island about DeSantis without them saying “proven track record of results.” It’s almost an autonomic response.
Many people forget that Ron DeSantis previously tried to run for the Senate in 2015, filling the seat from Marco Rubio’s first guided effort to be the Vice-Presidential nominee of the Jeb Bush/Marco Rubio ticket.
Jeb failed, Donald Trump crushed him, so the Senate seat never opened; however, behind the scenes Club for Growth had already positioned DeSantis as the heir apparent.
It will be interesting to watch what happens.
I hate to remind everyone about this, but the RATs are not going to go away.
Look at the recent stories of Tim Scott hiring Mike Pence’s team. Look at the Gowdy response to the nomination of Matt Gaetz. Look at the position of Nikki Haley right now. You think Marco Rubio has a disposition toward MAGA that is out of alignment with the GOPe? Not a chance.
By nominating Rubio as Secretary of State, President Trump is removing a dangerous DeceptiCon from the position of Senate Intelligence Chair, while simultaneously removing a threat to the 2028 opportunity of JD Vance. President Trump is supported in the former, because the technocrats around him are focused on the latter.
Keep watching.
I personally had thought that Gaetz was interested in becoming Florida’s next governor. Get some executive experience for his political resume and see where it leads. With Geatz as AG, that takes him out of the primaries for governor. If he doesn’t get the AG position then the door is open for his gubernatorial run. I think he would be a good next governor for Florida.
I don’t see him getting the senate position via RDS.
It’s the Dick Cheney position: I’ve done a thorough review of the potential candidates and after careful consideration have concluded the best person for the job is me.
Casey-get your Jackie O gloves out of mothballs
The Best President Ever is so surrounded by rats it’s almost hard to keep track of them all.
I’m going to keep an eye on JD (and Elon too).
Mostly because of this post by Sundance.

Sorry, I can’t believe people are still trashing JD Vance. Has he not proven himself in 6 months more than Pence in 8 years? And Elon, without him no free speech on X and DOGE is wonderful.
Will we be keeping an eye on Vivak, Tulsi etc………. This is why Republicans never win.
X is not free speech still. Many people are still banned i.e. me. for nothing. Keep an eye on them.
What you said about removing Rub10 from the Senate is exactly what I have tho’t was the plan from Day 1. He will be closely watched in State and it looks like President Trump is doing an end run around him in many areas. State needs to be trimmed down to less than 25% of where they are now.
Unload the Hanger-Ons from Albright, Clinton, Kerry, Tillerson, Pompeo and Blinken! Especially those with manic hatreds for formerly conquered home-lands, wishing death, misery and eternal hell for certain leaders and those wishing to regain lost fame and fortunes of the past and avenge slaughtered relatives.
Have Diplomats that can and will carry on Diplomacy!
Suggetion to Floridians. Write your Senators personally and ask who they voted for Senate Majority Leader. If they won’t answer, you have their answer. Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee wrote me back and she voted for Rick Scott.
I think we need to not just write or call to express our discontent, but ASK POINTED QUESTIONS. You may be able to find out who really is on our side. If DeSantis goes back to the Senate, which I cannot believe his ego would allow… but to keep a Trump out of the Senate, he might. Interesting times.
Our only other senator in Florida is Rick Scott. I’m thinking he didn’t vote for the other two running for the position since he was also running for Senate Majority Leader.
Marco Rubio was part of the “gang of eight” attempting to pass “comprehensive immigration reform” after Mitt Romney’s loss to Obama was blamed on the republican’s stance on immigration.
The public lit the phones up in Congress over it mainly due to Rush Limbaugh’s opposition and daily reminders to listeners to let them hear about it in D.C..
Congress stopped what was basically amnesty for illegals.
That was the first time Rubio removed his mask.
DeSantis was never in the Senate. He was in the House.
Marsha Blackburn is a lovely little RINO at heart, but often does the right thing. On this vote, by secret ballot two days ahead,, she voted with the Left; then, when the vote became a public one, voila!
Everyone wants to be king. It’s not easy to be King.

What I’m wondering is what does Jill (the JackieO wannabe) want lil Ronnie to do? Where will her tiara fit in best?
I think you mean Casey….
Her first name is Jill, her middle name is Casey.
what’s with all these Jill’s?

I’d rather keep DeSantis as Florida governor for another two years…but not sure he’d be any worse than Rubio in the Senate.
Desantis’s RPOF is removing all Trump Republicans from the State Party. Wake up! He is NOT what he pretends.
Keep him in the senate, problem solved. Michele Bachmann would be good as sec. Of State
Mike Benz would be even better.
Benz for FBI chief
Do we have MAGA-ino’s yet? MAGA In Name Only? Rooster, Nikki, Pompeo, Rubio, etc?
They will certainly TRY,…but the thing is, with the viscious attack politics, our enemies effectively did our vetting FOR us.
For example, LOOK at how they treated Pence, some mild ribbing over his comment about not having dinner with a woman without having his wife there.
Otherwise they left him alone, which SHOULD have been a BIG CLUE that he was a traitorous MAGA i.n.o.
Again, we and PDJT don’t have to guess, just look for those who have been targeted and treated harshly.
He’s been called Judas Pence many times, and for impeccable reasons. He is an evil and traitorous man.
Never Make America Great Again
NeverTrump transitioned to NeverMaga.
Cynical duplicity announces itself wearing a mask of plausibility.
STOP THE BACKSTABBING VIPERS
Who was the leaker? Elon Musk argued with someone and seems to feel that this person is the leaker. I know not his name.
Elon argued with Boris Ephsteyn (legal advisor to PDJT) at the ML dinner. Boris has presented himself as true and loyal. Will need more data to understand where Elon was going with that accusation.
MINO.
If Rob Desantis won’t appoint Gaetz, then Trump should rescind his offer to Rubio. Simple.
I’m still thinking the political reality is the ONLY VIABLE path for DeSantis, now to any political career after his term expires,…is thru PDJT.
He obviously has no loyalty, and frankly plenty of reason to be pissed at Sea Island, as they promised him a Presidency, and gave him only embarassment.
PDJT did not game out this whole manuever, without knowing RDS has a key role, and so making plans to cover that.
I have to wonder just how long ago plans were gamed out?
Appoint Meatball to run FEMA, create individual State FEMA’s w/him at the helm. He has plenty of skill in managing disasters. I like that he created a SF National Guard.
Governor is a better presidential contender launch position than senator.
Appointing yourself seems like such a greasy move…perfect for the Meatball. 🤮🤮🤮
I’d like to see Rep. Greg Steube bumped upstairs to the Senate. However, there’s no love lost between Steube and DeSantis so I’m not holding my breath.
I agree… The Meatball will appoint himself
I think that with all of the RATS to choose from Gowdy by far is the most nauseating of the bunch.
Goudy hits the self-righteous attitude often.
I’d rather see Byron Donalds get Rubio’s senate seat ahead of Lara Trump or DeSantis.
Nope, they are not going away, but to speak the truth is to be a naysayer, a Negative Nelly according to many. The work will never end, people simply want to live and let live, we are not allowed that luxury if we are to survive. I have already encountered people w/the “Trump has this” mentality.
What an absolutely gross screenshot.
Lara Trump apparently wants the seat.
Not relishing seeing Spittle Rubio prancing around as SOS. I hope that ends quickly.
Hillary was SoS and ran for president.

Flashback
“In an attempt to gain any form of attention, my “opponent,” tried to label me as a threat to democracy. She then allowed her supporters on her campaign social media to publicly dox, coordinate, and solicit individuals to send threatening packages to my home address.
“The comment below is just one of many. Last night, the police department as well as the FBI were notified. There is now an open investigation with LEO. This info is all FOIAble. [..]
The Rubio idea must have been thought up as a great move the same day as the I hate Taylor Swift move. Both moves are moronic and serve no useful purpose. I love President Trump, but he does have bad days like all of us.
Well, very few here have taken into account the Latin world and all of it’s issues, good and bad. Some are communist, some are conservative, some are cozy with China, and some are on the edge of becoming world powers. What better person to put in place to herd all those cats.
There is also the solidification of the Latin vote as a possible offshoot of a foreign policy that puts more emphasis on South America, Cuba, and Mexico. As a counter to Europe and China, an American consortium of trading partners would wield a pretty hefty club in world trade.
