Trump vs. DeSantis

Yeah that is the problem with these exercises. The president is almost never solely responsible for things, which allows his allies room to cut him slack when necessary. At the same time, his allies have room to give him credit for anything during which he had the good fortune to preside.

Trump says he voted for DeSantis for Florida's Governorship:

Trump warns other GOP candidates against running, particularly DeSantis:
...
... "I don’t know if [Ron DeSantis] is running. I think if he runs, he could hurt himself very badly. I really believe he could hurt himself badly," Trump said. "I think he would be making a mistake, I think the base would not like it — I don’t think it would be good for the party."
...
Trump did say that if DeSantis does run, "I would tell you things about him that won’t be very flattering — I know more about him than anybody — other than, perhaps, his wife."
...

There’s a good reason to vote for Ron, right there

Preemptive strike.

Can't find it right now, but yesterday I saw a poll of Georgia voters.

They pick DiSantis over Trump by a 2-1 margin.

It’s pretty universal here too. I absolutely will not vote for him in the primaries. I’d have to see who the Dems offer up in the general.

If it was Trump vs Manchin?

I would freaking love seeing Trump getting beaten in the Primaries. And I have this vague feeling that I’m not alone.

The fat man is worried.

Is French right? What’s the counter argument?

No, it’s just another one of his narcissistic brain farts. This time though, he shat himself.

He will wear it.

Now there's a mental image that I'll never be able to erase.

Thanks.

For most people, that would not be an enjoyable experience. For Trump, I’m not so sure.

Like most unpotty trained toddlers, he is mirthfully oblivious to the soil in his nappy.

OK, that mental image just displaced the one I mentioned earlier.

DeSantis supporters were chanting “Two More Years!” at his rally tonight.

Had no idea DeSantis is only 44, btw.

Last night was big for DeSantis. 2024 should be his to lose unless Trump runs and makes the primary swampy.

[xenon]

The answer could not be more clear for Reps. Do it the DeSantis way. Dems are trying to paint him as a Trump clone - he’s not.
