The discussions around DeSantis involve untangling several different political threads. The governor is currently handling the fallout of a separate Trump cabinet pick: Marco Rubio’s nomination to be secretary of state. DeSantis is weighing whether to appoint Trump’s daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, to fill Rubio’s Senate seat. The possibility that the governor himself could end up at the Pentagon may factor into that decision.

“Initially, Lara Trump was not part of all of this,” the source said. “But there’s no way it could have been avoided.”....

But many top Trump advisers dislike DeSantis for running against the once-and-future president, and some have been frustrated behind the scenes by the governor’s unwillingness, so far, to pick Lara Trump as a replacement for Rubio.

DeSantis resented being told whom to appoint and was uncomfortable with making Lara Trump, a newly minted Floridian, a senator. “She hasn’t paid her dues in the state. If she wants to become a senator, she can run for it in two years,” a DeSantis adviser said.

Asked if a possible Defense Department post could change some of DeSantis’s thinking, the adviser added:

“Who knows what’s going to happen. This is Trump’s world. We’re all just living in it.”

DeathSantis could appoint himself as Rubio's replacement.

1. A prisoner exchange swap of brainpower

Sounds like a done deal at this point.

2. If he's looking for a future in politics

he'd be insane to take the defense job. NOBODY walks away from depraved donnie with an enhanced reputation.

7. I mentioned somewhere else that Cabinet Secretary is not a good resume builder for President

One of the usual objected that six Secretary Of States had gone on to become President. That was all pre-1850, of course. So fucking tedious.

[Sundance1220]

8. I wasn't even considering that aspect although

you are 100% correct in it not being a resume builder in the last 150 years. I just think anyone getting involved with demented donnie winds up covered in shit.

15. All of these little quislings think they'll be the one who finally beats the odds.

3. In effect, that's selling a Senate seat...a quid pro quo.

Reminds me of Rod Blagojevich, that asshole.

4. I cant see Lara Trump holdingbthat seat agaknst any reasonably competent Democrat

But that doesn't me she won't.

5. DeSantis doesn't want the job

Who do they think they're fooling with this shit. DeSantis doesn't want to 1) go work for a President; 2) Go work for Trump; 3) Help Trump out of his Hegseth jam.

[Sundance1220]

9. Joni Ernst would be a better pick

but he'll never give that job to a woman.

12. I am betting maybe Nancy Mace

[Sundance1220]

16. While she graduated the Citadel

I don't see where she served in the military. What am I missing?

[Passages]

6. UGH

[Initech]

10. Holy shit, keep the Trumps out of the Senate! They don't belong there!

[drray23]

11. There was a time when this kind of quid pro quo would land you in Jail

At least for democrats like Rod Blagojevich. Trump is so utterly corrupt that this is nothing in this context. Obviously nobody is going to bat an eye at it at the justice department.

13. Sounds about right...

For those losers.

14. trump is transactional.

He always expects something in return.
