    Actually, I find his ruthlessness refreshing. I've never minded dealing with people like that as long as I saw them coming. It's pretty easy to extract what value they offer by appearing to offer yours to them. It's a lot like hiring hookers - an unsavory but honest transaction.

    This is where the street smarts I learned from my early reading of ghetto life and countless hours spent at a real pool hall came in handy.

      @Catseye3 said in Trump vs. DeSantis:

      His support of politicians has always been transactional and extractive.

      I'm certainly no fan of Murdoch, but this is just as it should be.

      They're supposed to work for us, not the other way round. Obviously, Rupert Murdoch isn't one of 'us', but he certainly doesn't owe Donald Trump anything.

      Quite the other way around, as a matter of fact.

            You don't.

            He was always an obnoxious SOB, but he never seemed to be quite as unhinged as he is now. I always thought his comments during the primaries regarding his opponents ("Little Marco") the equivalent of the Italian "Busting balls."

            Now, it just seems mean spirited.

            I think he's smart enough to realize that he's become an albatross and just can't cope.

            Or not.

              I suppose he will be throwing tantrum haymakers until the referee calls it.

                I hate to make a judgment before all the facts are in, but it looks possible that he is still a jerk.

                This is a common condition for people from his neck of the woods.

                  He was never not this guy.

                  I bet he still has Jolly’s vote. And Improv’s. And probably Copper.

                        This seems like a yes.

                        The spirit of the question wasn’t “are you with him until the end regardless”, rather it was “despite the fact that you have clear alternative(s), is he still your favorite”?

                                    It will be interesting if the entertainers on Fox channel start to go against President Trump.

                                    (EDIT: I have never seen Fox channel, but based on what I read on here, the main hosts Carlson(?) are very much for President Trump)

                                          By the way, if Hershel Walker’s IQ were over 80 he’s be lamenting Trump’s insistence on announcing next week. As it is, though, he probably hasn’t given it much thought.
