CNN) A deepening rivalry between Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis is beginning to spark a debate among conservatives over the unofficial coronation of the Florida governor as the party's most promising non-Trump option in 2024, with some prominent intellectuals and activists urging DeSantis superfans to pump the brakes.
Questions of whether the former President -- with his cult-like following and inimitable breed of politics -- is the only logical choice or a candidate past his prime have consumed conservative donors, organizers and intellectuals as the GOP presidential primary approaches and DeSantis' stock continues to rise.

DeSatan being hailed as the non-Trump option for 2024 confuses me. He’s running for governor again. So IF this dumb state votes for him, is he going to bounce out of office in 2024 to run for President?? I don’t understand people who say they’re going to vote for him for governor and then vote for him again 2 years later for president. They’re voting for someone who won’t finish the “job”.
But, either way, I don’t want him voted in to any office at all because

DeSantis is still better than Trump. Not that this takes much. The village drunk is better than Trump. The one I’d like to see run for republicans is Liz Cheney not that it will ever happen. I don’t agree with her politics but she appears to have two working brain cells to rub together which is more than the entire party has at the current moment. I’ll even take “gag” Mitt Romney, Rick Scott, or Jeb Bush.SoFloMom wrote: ↑Tue Sep 27, 2022 2:31 pm DeSatan being hailed as the non-Trump option for 2024 confuses me. He’s running for governor again.

I find DeSantis pretty vile. If I had to choose a Republican candidate that didn't make me want to toss my cheerios, it would be Tim Scott.Pjmm wrote: ↑Tue Sep 27, 2022 8:43 pmDeSantis is still better than Trump.
