What should DeSantis say?

I don’t understand where this is his problem at all. And he doesn’t control the judiciary in FL.

It’s best for him to keep his mouth shut until something happens.

Speak for yourself. If Trump runs I’m voting for him.

Personally, Braggless will be showing that he wears an empty cod. Trump is going to name him repeatedly.

“Trump is relentlessly attacking and name-calling DeSantis, and Trump is upset that DeSantis won’t defend him?”

I don’t see the logic behind that either.

Doesn’t make Trump look good if his supporters think that DeSantis needs to ride to his rescue. That this is something that Trump can’t handle.

Isn’t Bragg a George Soro’s plant?

“Actually that’s the smart thing to do. For one thing Trump’s base isn’t going to vote for him if Trump is running. So trying to woo them is just wasted effort. And also there’s nothing to say that wouldn’t be spun, in both directions, and turn into a nightmare of having to “correct” the spin. Best to leave your opponent’s legal troubles alone. Go be governor. Do campaign stuff. Worry about your own stuff. Let your opponent sink or swim on his own.”

I agree 100%. This isn’t DeSantis’fight. It’s Trump’s fight. If Trump can’t handle it, then maybe he ought to reconsider running for one of the toughest jobs in the world.

“Trump’s a Big Boy, he can handle it.”

If he keeps begging for help, he’s going to look like a small boy.

I dislike it when people supposedly on our side try to create conflict where there isn’t any.

Trump is trying to get attention again. Perhaps DeSantis is smart to wait to see if this is even true. God knows we’ve seen this song and dance from Trump before. He loves to exaggerate maybe DeSantis is sick of the crap.

Who cares? If DeSantis would sit back and not say a word about a politically-motivated prosecution, he’s unfit to ever be President.

We need to have somebody that can step up if a health issue or worse happens to trump. Putting all the eggs in a almost 77 year old is pretty stupid.

DeSantis has an official role to play in all this as Governor of Florida since Trump's living here, that's why he's not saying anything.

As Governor he's in the position of deciding whether or not to allow Trump's arrest and extradition to New York in this obviously politically motivated charade. In my opinion if New York does try to arrest Trump then DeSantis has no other option than to refuse to allow Trump to be extradited, to do otherwise would to be allow this farce of the rule of law to continue and it would make him appear weak. Republican voters would remember that he was the one would could have stopped this BS but didn't. Trump has been bashing him lately and I'm sure the easy thing to do would be to let New York take him but it's not the RIGHT thing to do, and DeSantis is in a bit of a tight spot here.

DeSantis's political future depends upon him getting things right if and when this rouge DA comes after Trump. Now is not the time for DeSantis to be popping off at the mouth.

Politically, desantis could seize the news cycle by announcing he will prevent any NY law enforcement from acting to arrest Trump in FL.
