I wonder if we will see another 100 responses on this thread, as proxy battles between those who prefer Trump and those who prefer DeSantis, igniting again.

Yup... . Ya beat up your opponent and then expect him to support you. Seems odd.

We all know the traits of Ron DeSantis, his handlers and his influencers when we encounter them in our lives. They are generally insecure people, constantly showing annoying traits of weaponized superiority and passive aggression. That said, notice the background mechanics of the Ron DeSantis statement today and you will notice why I keep pointing out that everything in his orbit is managed by a stable of handlers.
At the conclusion of his remarks about central bank digital currencies, the first question from the media came from Megan Nager – of the Florida Standard. DeSantis was prepped and ready, complete with reference points on the podium if needed. It’s almost certain that Pushaw and crew coordinated the first question for Ms. Nager, as they knew people were awaiting to hear DeSantis’ opinion.
Watch his response through the prism of rehearsal and management, and the flow of the response becomes brutally obvious.
Video at 22:30 (prompted) WATCH:
“We have no interest in getting involved in what is a political spectacle created by a
Soros-funded prosecutor.” … “I don’t know what goes into paying hush money to a
porn star to secure silence over some type of alleged affair”…
Ron DeSantis says whatever his managers and handlers tell him to say. It really is that simple. He is an empty vessel. There is not an authentic bone in his body; everything comes from a controlled and consulted script.

I don’t think so. Trump is waking up his fellow Republicans, and I’m sure some of those “moderate” Democrats we hear about on occasion, that if this abuse of Law by the Left is allowed to continue, EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM is in danger of having the same thing happen to them. They need to get that through their heads. Donald Trump is just the “test case” for these evil, corrupt would-be tyrants.

I thought DeSantis did a good job on his rebuttal about “Trump’s supposed arrest”. Seems he is the bigger man-—also, this article is from “The Hill” and I don’t know how much to believe.

Trump is a Jedi Master. If you strike him down he becomes more powerful than ever.

I vote for BOTH! Trump is my candidate but I like DeSantis also. They are the two best potential 2024 nominees.

Nope, it was not. It was the correct response, holding DeSantis accountable for his delay and his petty, incorrect, swipe at President Trump in his statement.

DeSantis missed his chance: he could've gone on the attack as a conservative and asked why a criminal case was being even mentioned about a former president - something that has never happened before.
Or he could have gone on the offensive and said "why haven't we indicted Hillary for her criminal actions or Bill for lying under oath, or Lois Lerner for destroying evidence, and so on?"
But he didn't - proving that he is the usual political hack masquerading as a conservative.

DeSantis might as well have called on Trump to be jailed for life - he got the same response as if he had both from Trump and from some here on this very forum.
To: ChicagoConservative27
Trump: “Ron DeSanctimonious will probably find out about FALSE ACCUSATIONS & FAKE STORIES sometime in the future, as he gets older, wiser, and better known,” Trump wrote." I hope DeSantis doesn't take the bait and just ignores DT's taunts. DT's doing himself no favors imo.

He made a tiny joke about trump in a response that was 90% bashing the dems attempt to persecute him and people still are enraged at him.

I do love spirited debate preceding a primary election.
That said, the Dems just love it when we fight among ourselves and insult each other.
This two-time Trump voter currently likes DeSantis (RDS) for the nom, but I'll vote unhesitatingly for whoever wins the GOP nom.
I know quite a few previous Trump voters who are just plain sick of Trump's childish name-calling of fellow GOPers, many of whom are potential contenders for the nom.
Trump would be wise to focus his verbal invective toward "Sleepy Joe" and "Crooked Hillary" and try to make some political allies within our GOP.
He won't.

Trump really, really needs an intervention and simply STFU. This is not the time and place to trash his fellow Republicans, whom he might need support from in the future. And to the forever or always Trump folks, maybe consider that as well here on FR as you go about trashing every that doesn’t drink the Trump Kool-Aid. Let’s play nice.
