re: DeSantis Slammed for Using National Crisis to Criticize Trump: Poor Timing Criticized

The DeSantis "attacks" you're talking about being a huge mistake involve DeSantis talking about purging personnel that work against the interests of the administration and about how Trump didn't do this well enough. He's not only doing what you're talking about, he's premising his candidacy on the fact that Trump failed to do it.

That’s a legit criticism. It’s fair. It could explain why a lot of people support Desantis. It doesn’t address his Stormy Daniels comment in the context of Trump being indicted in an obvious political witch hunt.

Trump is cozying up to neocons and swamp rats and deferred to them frequently in his administration. So you're hitting Ron on this (I think that's your point anyway) but failing to mention it for Trump.

It’s not relevant. I understand that it may make you not want to vote for Trump. I’m not trying to convince you that you are wrong. I’m explaining why what Desantis did was a problem for Trumps base.

I don't think you'd vote for DeSantis in any set of circumstances unless Trump blessed it. But I'll admit that's a guess and I don't know your true beliefs.

You are wrong. But who cares. I’m but one opinion. You shouldn’t care what I would do. And I certainly don’t care what you think about what I’ll do much less whether you believe me.

None of that is meaningful. The important discussion is about whether Desantis is harming his chances. I only offer my opinion because I believe it’s representative of a lot of voters like myself. Feel free to disagree.

I personally don’t believe any polls. But reading the real leaves I think Desantis and his people do and I think it’s behind his reckless political moves recently. He thinks he’s way behind.
