  Makes sense to me. The Deuce Deuce could also stand for the diarrhea you got eating there too. “I went on down to pew pews and got the double deuces.”
context: I don't think DeSantis has a choice. He's the republican darling currently but that shine doesn't last. If he doesn't shoot his shot now he risks sinking into irrelevance similar to Christie and walker and I think he knows it. My understanding is that he's term limited too so his opportunities to make waves will dry up. Apparently there's a growing problem in FL regarding rising insurance costs that may come back to him if left alone long enough. >
  
  Yeah this is the only answer. You take your opportunity before it’s gone. He just won re-election in an absolute landslide so he’s at his peak right now. The only obstacle in his way is Trump and it’s too early to tell who will come out on top which is an advantage for DeSantis since Trump is an incumbent with 100% name recognition. The fact that DeSantis is the defacto #2 in the polls and in some polls it’s very tight, shows he needs to run whether he wants to or not. >
  
  Yeah, ask Jerry Brown about that. He was so hot in 1976 as a new kind of Democrat he could have won the nomination, but he dithered about running  since he wasn’t 40 yet so he decided to wait. His rep went down and he spent the next 30 years unsuccessfully trying. >
  
  I know several Trump voters and they all want Desantis over Trump because:
  “Trump has too many haters. He lost to Biden.”
  The guy who told me that attended a recent Trump rally. He was die hard. WAS. >
  
  My very conservative Evangelical family members are starting to sour on Trump too. Some of them used to talk about him like he was the Second Coming (which they likely believed he would usher in). He's definitely past his expiration date. >
  
  Crazy to see Trump going from someone directly comparable to Jesus and is definitely chosen by god and probably even more than that to meh…. >
  
  Most of the people I know who are/were Trump diehards still have massive respect for the guy. They just think his time has passed and DeSantis would be just as effective. A lot of these True Believer types don't even think his star has faded, but rather than Dems damaged him so badly that he'd either lose or have a much tougher path to victory compared to '20 or even '16. He's still Jesus-tier for a lot of people, it's just that RDS is fresh and they don't have to cover his uh... missteps. >
  
  I think the VP roll has been promised to MTG which would explain her efforts to normalize herself. >
  
  She's still a freaking dingbat >
  
  No argument here. She’s Sarah Palin 2.0. >
  
  2.0 would be a slight upgrade, more like .002 >
  
  Can Boebert be Sarah Palin .22 cuz of her dumb gun restaurant?
