I agree with you and like Hound, I really hope he doesn't run.  Too much baggage and he will not only energize Democrats he will give them additional rationale to cheat....more than they usually need.  I don't think even DeSantis can stop him.....and he is the only one with even a glimmer of hope.  Pence, Pompeo, Cotton, et al are wasting their time and other people's money if Trump decides to run.  The only slight hope that DeSantis can stop him is if it is a binary choice and not 27 candidates splitting the non-Trump vote.  I think you'll see a lot of people that would love to run against Biden or whoever replaces him sit this out if Trump declares.....and wisely so.  

If I were DeSantis I would only run if Trump doesn't and I would not in a million years be his VP.  He is young enough to wait this out.  If Trump wins he can still run in 2028 regardless of who the VP is and if Trump loses again he can likewise run in 2028 as a successful two term Governor.
