    During the campaign, he will attack Trump. DeSantis is smart and will do it in a way that sways significant portions of the MAGA crowd.

      But he'll still be all in on the trumpesque, own the libs style culture war. No me gusta.

        Because of the yellow fringe, probably.

              I get that you don't like him. Trump will be easy to campaign against. Age, inability to act presidential, and poor behavior on social media will be DeSantis' first salvo.

              • While I am not going to vote for either of them, I will admit that I am very interested in seeing the Trump-DeSantis battle play out. I really hope there are no backdoor deals for one of them to pull out for the good of the party or something.

                  None of this seems to matter to trump's base. Will be interesting to see how it plays out.

                    It certainly doesn't matter to a portion of his base. But Shaka was a part of Trump 's base at one point, and he seems like he understands that Trump isn't a viable option moving forward. How many other former Trumpers are in the same boat? Like you say, it will be interesting.

                      I kind of think the GOP is screwed until Trump physically exits this mortal coil. The GOP media machine is so codependent on Trump, I'm not sure how you break away from it. Look at all that has come out of the Dominion lawsuit in regards to Fox News. Caught red handed and nothing has changed.

                      I kind of hope that DeSantis and Trump can just duke it out and take each other down, leaving someone like Youngkin to jump in. But the base is just so Trumpy and the "conservative" media is dependent on them being Trumpy for their survival.

                        A predicate to such a backdoor deal would be Trump actually caring about the party...or anything beyond himself.

                        • Shaka voted for him, but I don't think he was ever a core supporter or die-hard MAGA person.

                          • A Florida legislature has introduced legislation to ban the democratic party.

                            DeSantis is spearheading a fucked up environment, where they state has gerrymandered to hell.

                              Trump has made himself into a cult leader and he holds that sway over a significant amount of people.
