    Trump already decided. His PACs are only running anti-DeSantis ads. No mention of Donald.

      @Mik , it seems to me that's sort of the new normal these days. The PACs run all the negative attack ads, leave it to the campaign itself to run positive aspirational ads. That leaves the candidate and his campaign plausible deniability to say they do not know and cannot control what the PACs are doing.

        Yes, and I do not like it.

          I understand that Gov. DeSantis did not specifically make this ad, but isn't there some sort of rule that you can't use a person in an advertisement (p0litical or otherwise) without their permission?

            @taiwan_girl No. It’s very common for “Super PACs “ to do this. People can donate unlimited money to them too, which is different from the campaigns themselves.

            The only restriction is the campaign can’t coordinate with the super pac.

            Only non-witches get due process.

              I wonder how much "wink wink" cooperation there is.

                Not yet. There are PACs starting pro DeSantis adds, and this was the most obvious supporting him for President, but not yet.

                Bad ad, too. All white people. And the one guy should have been hit by a truck. Walking down the street watching a video? FFS.

                @LuFins-Dad Hey, doesn't DeSantis sound like Lon Solomon in that video? Not a sermon, just a thought.

                  The bit where he taped over the Trump 2016 sticker was pretty funny, and almost guaranteed to send Trump into a fury.

                  I was only joking

                    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                      To answer your question, watch the following video, maybe skip ahead to the 4:30 mark and start watching from there:
