"Regardless of our talents, we can still be our own worst enemy."
That is profound, and sums it up so well.
And I hear you can cook, too! -

Anyone know if DeSantis has replied in any way?
It seems like silently ignoring Trump and going about his business as Governor is the smartest thing he can do. Oh, and stump for walker.
It's not wise to argue with a fool. Listeners can't tell which is which.
If DeSantis ignores him, Trump will get shriller and shriller to the point no one will listen nor care. He'll create his own ignominy.

I would agree. DeSantis has absolutely nothing to gain at this stage by responding to Trump. The latter is already created his own state of ignominy. Best to give him the spotlight and let him continue to make a fool of himself publicly.

Lincoln's quote comes to mind.
Even if he didn't really say it.

Well, there’s Donald, himself…
Joking aside? They are wrong. There ARE some that wouldn’t vote for DeSantis. I bet there are more than a few that would just stay home.

I think you are right. But we have to face that eventually.

I don’t disagree, but Romney and McCain brought in 60,000,000 votes each. Donald brought in 74,000,000 in 2020 and it still wasn’t enough. Biden came in at 80,000,000. What’s the threshold for a Republican victory in a non-Trump Election? Can DeSantis top 80,000,000 if he needs to? 70,000,000? These are questions that do need to be asked.

I think eventually he can. But Trump needs to be backed off or drawn in to support. A bit late for the latter, but two years is a long time.

What is it with Trump that attracts these people?
I don’t understand why somebody who calls themself conservative wouldn’t vote for DeSantis but would vote for Trump.

Does anyone think Trump would back off and shut down criticism of a Republican candidate for the Presidency that didn't have the "Trump" name? I think he'd criticize any mistakes made by DeSantis and then after the defeat note that he'd have won if he'd been enabled to run.

Weird. I dreamed that I was working for Trump last night and he liked what I did so much that he had me set up a cocaine distribution network for him that isolated he and I from legal challenges.
It could happen.
