re: DeSantis responds to Trump criticisms

As a Floridian, IMO, Trump needs to be careful criticizing DeSantis. He is very popular in Florida and Trump can't win the nomination without winning Florida. If he turns off too many Florida voters by bashing the Gov. he won't.

Nothing now that Lake lost, unless something changes with the appeal. It's up to AZ to fix itself.
This whole Trump/DeSantis argument is pointless.

Then maybe Trump should shut up?

He's not ready to stand up to Trump or even the national media
He's dealt with national media since he became governor. Furthermore, he doesn't have to respond to Trump or name-calling. Just bring it back to the issues, and his record on them.
I laugh at the double standard that doesn't allow any politician to change their stance on anything, except Trump. He can do it whenever he wants and sycophants find a water spin it

Which he did on the coat tails of Trump and playing America First.
If Ron is too stupid to figure out which side is the winning ticket, you are right, he's not ready for the national stage.

Maybe. I still don't get his angle here.
DeSantis could also say if he is running or not if the jabs are bothering him.

Over 76K people voted for at least 1 down-ballot Republican but didn't vote for Trump. Kimberly Yee outperformed Kari Lake and so did some Congressional Republicans in their districts.
The lesson is pretty clearly to nominate candidates who expand the base and don't alienate voters who typically vote Republican, which Trump and Lake have done.

I doubt it's bothering him. He probably loves it. Unlike Trump, DeSantis doesn't have a brain that's the size of a walnut and realizes that Trump saying stupid shite and lying helps him (DeSantis) get more support each and every day. He's smart enough to let the loser continue to hang himself.

Will Ron be allowed as President to speak and act like this?
Anti-WEF is red meat to the base. Will he go to a podium and refurbish/denounce the Paris Accords? Revamp NATO? Stop playing color revolution in Ukraine?
Would he denounce The WEF? The U.N. globalization, great reset hard on in actionable policies?
Very unlikely, he would fake it and give red meat speeches; while having lavish meals & cocktail parties with the globalists-- like Nikki did as she banned statues.
Ron is on record as being a neocon regarding Ukraine. Does he still think that Zelenskyy is like Churchill? His avoidance of the Ukraine topic could be that Christina Pushaw was at Zelenskyy's inauguration.

There is a Bush ran PAC called MaverickPac. It was archived above. Ron DeSantis, Cruz's names are listed on there as their birthplace of politics. Nuff said...
ETA: The MaverickPac ran by the Bush's suddenly disappeared online. Good thing it was archived.
A Typical DeSantis Snow Job: Buddying up to the CCP while pretending he isn’t.
This in minor oppo research and vetting. I am out just knowing he didn't fire Christina and his political career was born in the Bush MaverickPAC.

I don't think they are. DeSantis is a smart dude, and probably recognizes that Trump's actions are helping DeSantis.

Sooner or later he has to pick a side. Only one is a winner. If he decides to dump Trump, he's done. Even in Florida.

1) trump ain’t ever won the popular vote
2) Trump only won Fl by 300k votes
3) RD won by 1.5M votes- and that was during a cycle that nationally Republicans barely won anything
4) Trump is smelling like old man desperation
5) If the Repubs nominate Trump again…he will lose again

We are two “retruths” (lol) from Trump asking why DeSantis didn’t fire Fauci.

LOL no that is completely the wrong way to go about it.....the winning strategy is to get MAGA and the Establishment/RINO wing aligned on what is important to both parties and get everyone on the same page. That basically means the Establishment is going to have to start listening to the concerns of the working class MAGA base and what is important to them which is principally: trade policies that create jobs and benefit American middle and working classes, no more cheap labor imported through open borders, ending NEOCON foreign policy, stopping the progressive march, and government that is responsible to the people not the big corporations.
There is a hell of a lot more that I agree with Mitch McConnell on than any fricking Democrat and if we could just get on the same page it would be a winning combo.

DeSantis threads that needle perfectly- he will have the MAGA ppl because he brings exactly the same thing Trump brings but minus the negatives that Trump has and he will have the 20% of Repubs who didn’t like Trump’s antics
This is a win/win

He had 2 million more votes than any Republican candidate in his first election and added another 12 million on top of that in 2020.

This insanity is no different than the resist libs that have attacked DeSantis for 3 years

People better do their research. Some are just paid political bots. Not going to work when people hit the polls.
