In South Carolina, Ron DeSantis heard and rejected an interesting suggestion for his running mate in the event he’s the Republican Presidential nominee.
On Saturday in Myrtle Beach, a supporter from the Sunshine State floated Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd as a potential Vice President.
DeSantis called Judd, an ally who has appeared with him at numerous press conferences over the last five years, a “great guy,” but noted that since he’s from “the same state” he couldn’t run on the same ticket.
Beyond that, DeSantis called VP speculation “presumptuous” given the state of the race for the GOP nomination.
“I mean, you know, I’ve got eight delegates. Donald Trump’s got 20,” DeSantis said. “You gotta get there, and so I focus on that.”
Beyond ruling out the unlikely prospect of a county sheriff being one heartbeat away from the presidency, DeSantis offered more familiar language regarding a potential running mate.
“It’s got to be somebody that shares my vision for the country because you don’t want to go run an election, you win, the American people endorse your vision, something happens to the president, then you have a VP that goes in a different direction,” DeSantis said.
“So I want somebody that’s going to be true to conservative principles. I want somebody that’s going to be true to our vision. And if we, if we do that, then you’ll have somebody that’s good. But, you know, I don’t, I don’t put names out there because I don’t think it’s fair.”

DUMB “GOTCHA” QUESTION.
They could run together, but they could kiss off Florida’s votes in the Electoral College. Better to appoint the good Sheriff as ambassador to the UN, eh?

Grady Judd would be an excellent choice as head of Homeland Security. Enough of the mismanagement down there on the Southern Border by the 3 stoogies: Biden, Harris, and Mayorkas.

Raise your hand if you’ve finally figured out that “impeach biden” is a screen name avatar for hateful incompetent wingnut “Christina Pushaw!”
LOL 😂

Grady Judd would be an excellent choice for whatever office he were to commit to serve. He would be an excellent Governor or any office in the State, however, he would have a different style than what I have seen in the country ytd!

You do know that the immigration laws and enforcement are delegated by the Constitution to the Congress. Why do Republicans in Congress fail to agree on comprehensive bipartisan immigration reform? Hint: it’s because they prefer to complain and have a campaign boogeyman rather than do their job.

How about RFKJr.? Or Nikki Haley? Or the Iowa Governor, Kim Reynolds? Or Ted Cruz? There’s lots of options besides Trump and Scott. If the Confidence Man, Trump, were to win the nomination I will vote for RFKJr. And I think half of the Republicans will dump Trump.🤠🇺🇸

Good evening America,
I, Earl Pitts American, work my “Sage Political Wisdom and WORLD Dominance” best behind the scenes. My, Earl Pitts American’s, “Sage Outcome Based Wisdom” is best when deployed “Behind The Scenes”.
So far I, Earl Pitts American, have been able to keep the GroundSwell of public opinion tamped down and out of the media.
SO PREPARE YOURSELVES AMERICA:
Soon we will be flooded with a Media Blitz of “Is Ron Going To Pick Earl As His VPOTUS????
The answer may be “Dragged Out” for political reasons to pull the ultimate “Fast One” on the Obama’s ….. but America I will not play second fiddle for anyone or take the pay-cut of becoming the VPOTUS.
Thank you America,
