Given DeSantis is stiff and robotic, given that he is completely beholden to the RINO Establishment/Donor class for his support, given that he has shown himself to be both dishonest as well as disloyal, I can’t see him even coming close to Trump in the Republican primary. Trump is already at 60% and his vote share will only grow as some of the other candidates drop out. There is simply no path for DeSantis to win short of a complete meltdown by Trump.
I hear that claptrap from Trump cultists a lot. Ironically, DeSantis’s record of conservative governance is basically perfect so the criticism is always vague.
Trump, on the other hand, can’t stop stepping on his own Johnson with his atrocious personnel picks, and he shows no loyalty to the rare good ones like McEnany. He also hung his J6 supporters out to dry when he could have protected them with a stroke of the pen. Trump demands loyalty but only shows loyalty to himself or whatever way the winds are blowing, like with his “big heart” about the “Dreamers” or his idiotic idea to empty our prisons.
As I’ve said before, I don’t know why the communists don’t throw their support behind him. They can dupe him into getting 40-50% of what they want by just flattering him, and fools like you will stick by him no matter what.
