THE THESIS: If President Trump and Governor DeSantis both run for president, there will have never been two stronger candidates on the Republican side. We should base our decision on prayer that Gid will reveal to us the best path and on measurable, objective factors for what the Country needs.
THE SCRIPTURE & SCRIPTURAL RESOURCES:
John 19:10-12
10 “Do you refuse to speak to me?” Pilate said. “Don’t you realize I have power either to free you or to crucify you?”
11 Jesus answered, “You would have no power over me if it were not given to you from above. Therefore the one who handed me over to you is guilty of a greater sin.”
12 From then on, Pilate tried to set Jesus free, but the Jewish leaders kept shouting, “If you let this man go, you are no friend of Caesar. Anyone who claims to be a king opposes Caesar.”

District of Columbia Jury Pool ‘Saturated with Prejudice,’ Opinion Survey Finds; Attorneys in two Oath Keepers cases file motion to change venue from DC to eastern Virginia
Nearly three out of four District of Columbia residents are likely to find Jan. 6 defendants guilty in federal court, while 85 percent believe the events of Jan. 6 were criminal acts including insurrection, an attack, or a riot, a survey by two defense attorneys found.
Results of the survey by Inlux Research + Analytics were included late April 15 in a change-of-venue motion (pdf) filed by defendants in two Oath Keepers conspiracy cases. The research was commissioned on behalf of Thomas E. Caldwell of Berryville, Virginia, and Connie Meggs of Dunnellon, Florida.
The study is the third recent research project that alleges the pool of potential jurors in the District of Columbia is biased against defendants charged with crimes stemming from unrest at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

Hi Todd,
You asked our thoughts on President Trump and Governor DeSantis. I have always been a big supporter of President Trump. I still think he may very well be the best president this country has had since Abraham Lincoln. However, I started having some serious reservations about him when he continued bragging about Operation Warp Speed considering the devastating consequences these covid shots have caused. He should admit he made a mistake, and apologize. Fast forward to a few days ago, when he endorsed pro-abortion, pro-child-transing, anti-gun globalist Dr. Mehmet Oz, and my support for Trump is really waning....
At this point, if DeSantis were running against Trump, I would definitely vote for DeSantis. However, I don't think DeSantis would run against Trump. If Trump ends up the republican nominee, I would probably vote for him for a third time.
Thank you for all you are doing to speak truth and glorify God.

Todd,
Regarding the president question. We need a president strong enough to start the climb back to sanity. No one is perfect, especially at that level due to the compromises made to get to a high level of power. I too was disappointed in Trump's endorsement of Dr. Oz. Unless he knows something that we don't regarding Dr. Oz.
I would vote for Trump and I believe him to be stronger that DeSantis or Abbott. I think DeSantis has a better vision than Abbott about the issues we face so he would be my second choice.
I have thought about the possibility that Trump staying the background, using his strength and influence to help a person like DeSantis to drive the narrative and be a stronger President. Trump has to be mindful of his age and the need for a successor. The election may be a good way to set up his successor and keep his presence in the office of the President.
Thanks for your drive and I pray that the evil one stays far away form you!

On today's podcast, you asked your listeners to tell you who we would pick between Trump and DeSantis. I would select Trump hands down. Trump is a true fighter. He is not afraid to get down in the mud to fight the deep state. The degradation he has had to endure during the four years of his Presidency is hard to comprehend. He has stood tall and kept fighting for the American people. Yes, he has not always looked good during these battles, but an effective street fighter rarely looks good.
We need a doer and fighter at this point in time in our history. President Trump is a fighter, winner, and achiever. As I tell my friends, I don't know if President Trump will be elected President again, but the good Lord made him the tip of the spear to help destroy the deep state. I believe President Trump is a godly man. I have heard him talk about his faith in God. I have not heard governor DeSantis talk about his faith.
DeSantis has done a lot of good things for the state of Florida. I'm not sure how committed DeSantis is to destroying the deep state and to continue the fight of cleaning up the swamp. I'm not sure how he would stand up to the type of pounding President Trump has taken. What is DeSantis's commitment to help turn American back towards God. In a debate with Michelle Obama, would he be aggressive enough to show people how warped her values are. In the back of my mind, I get the feeling he's not that far away from joining the shiney shoe Republicans. Does he have the stomach to battle the deep state and clean up the swamp. Does he have the will to help America become a Godly nation again.
I understand almost all of President Trumps failing. At this time in the world's history he is the type of leader needed for America and the World.

I joined the Trump train from the moment he declared his candidacy…why? He is a political outsider and he wasn’t crazy like Ross Perot and others who tried to run in the past. Why do I still support him? He proved himself and has shown what this country can be if it is run honestly.
My hope for the future? He runs again with, yes I am going to say it, Ron DeSantis as his running mate. Why? My biggest concern was who could follow Trump? I believe DeSantis is my answer and serving with Trump gives him the opportunity to get an inside look at what it entails to be president. Who would I choose to run with DeSantis? Candace Owens. God does not require perfect, non sinners for his purposes…there are many biblical examples of this…even Abraham sinned with his maid yet look at how important he was to God. As you always say…the president is an employee who is doing a job for us. I am not his wife so I do not have to live with him. Also, I am not God so I do not have the right to judge him.
On an aside, please try not to be so judgemental about others you disagree with. Only God knows their hearts and He is the one to judge…not us. We must all remember to be humble. Thanks for the wonderful show and I am looking forward to attending your May 20th event.
