When I pressed him on why DeSantis seems so publicly fixated on the MAGA wing of the GOP, Cox was charitable.
“It’s a really tough party right now,” he said. “No one else has figured out how to unify and bring the party together. [DeSantis] has clearly made the calculation he needs to be a good alternative for Trump diehard voters out there.”
The assumption, other top Republicans say, is that more moderate Republicans like Cox will fall in line with DeSantis because the alternative is Trump.
I’m less convinced of that, at least for now. DeSantis may have to take more aggressive steps to pull the ungainly anti-Trump coalition together, particularly if he wants to winnow the field by the end of this calendar year. It may seem contrived, but the challenge of dethroning Trump is going to require extreme measures. (A DeSantis-Tim Scott unity ticket?)

Too bad for them. They'll have to go back to supporting professional career lawyer politicians. I've had a belly full of that bull shit. After the Trump era is over, I'm also done with the corrupt Republican party.
Yeah, make the brother ride in the back of the bus, again.
The sooner the GOP dies, the sooner we can move on.
Gerald Ford was a man who had the charisma of a grapefruit, and had no political base of support outside the District of Columbia.
I’ll be shopping for another party at that point.
After the Trump era, people who continue voting for this corrupt Republican party will are like battered wife syndrome. But this is battered voter syndrome. They keep getting lied to and kicked in the teeth repeatedly, yet keep coming back for more abuse. Over and over again.
Here’s the difference between Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis.
****************************************************
Trump is butt hurt and wants to have his ego stroked again. DeSantis just wants to restore Constitutional government and protect Americans.
Ron DeSantis is the future of MAGA.
America has had good success with presidents named Ron.
Ron DeSantis is not part of the plan for 2024. He will not be on the ticket. He’s a distraction being pushed by deep state actors.
There is a much larger game in play. Its not just about the 2024 election. Its about a sea change in our country and the world that is happening as we speak and will continue to play out over the next couple of years. Donald Trump was selected to lead our country into a new system. Nothing can stop what is coming.
You bet. And the same who support this guy were the same who voted for and supported the “Party” ie; The globalist Bush crime family for 8 years. Same people.
Absol-friggin-lutely unbelievable.
Oh hell no.
Donald Trump was selected to lead our country into a new system. Nothing can stop what is coming.

Yeah, yeah, deep state, the plan...whatever.
If Trump gets the nomination he’ll lose the general and we get the great reset right up the keester. Plus he’ll endorse a bunch of grifter candidates for the House and Senate; they’ll win their nominations and lose the general like so many before them. The only sea change Trump will bring is that the sea gets bluer.
Some of us like freedom and defeating the left that’s why we’re backing DeSantis.
No writing in Trump is a vote for Trump. I’ll never vote for another Bush (DeSantis).
Ford said that the highlight of his administration was the nomination of ultra-liberal John Paul Stevens in 1975.
