If DeSantis doesn't agree with and/or doesn't want to be associated with Paul Ryan, Karl Rove, and Chris Christie and their push for DeSantis while they simultaneously criticize Trump then he should say so.

Thanks. DeSantis could do that, but I also believe that he shouldn't have to be put on the defensive, since there's no proof he's done anything wrong yet. When politicians are attacked, they don't have to respond to every attack, the term as I'm sure you know is "taking the high road" and I think it is perfectly understandable fo him to do that, until any actual evidence of collusion is brought forth.

I've seen no confirmable evidence of what Baris said, and I have not referred to it here.

There's another old saying, that "the burden of proof is on the accuser" and so far there doesn't seem to be hard evidence whatsoever of collusion going on. Trump or his supporters, of which there are millions, should be obligated to provide at least some proof, before Trump's attack can be justified, in my opinion. And even then Trump's attacks should be more focused about what his concerns are, rather than just claiming things like DeSantis is "just an average Governor" which I don't think anyone believes.

Unfortunately I expect Trump and his supporters to keep attacking DeSantis with no concrete evidence, and DeSantis to just keep taking the high road. Who that is working out better for remains to be seen.

The evidence does show that DeSantis gave Bush financed candidate John O'Dea a full endorsement after O'Dea trashed Trump, on CNBC, right before the election, and by extension hurting and devaluing Trump's 100 plus MAGA trump endorsed candidates. IMO, that wasn't a construstive move for all those MAGA candidates, for Trump and for DeSantis. It was a move that only benefited the Uniparty.

I disagree. Sitting back while the Uniparty, Karl Rove and Paul Ryan promote you while trashing Trump and MAGA is not the high road, nor the constructive road to be on.

Also, the president who gave us “fifteen days to stop the spread” — and attacked other governors for re-opening too early — shouldn’t be attacking DeSantis for locking down when with DeSantis, it really was a short-term thing and “fifteen days to stop the spread” turned into at least 730 days or more.
