DeSantis will become "Trumpy" as soon as the massive national lie machine decides he is a threat.
I am constantly amazed at how many people struggle to grasp what is going on in national politics.
Every Republican is Hitler, and every Democrat is Mother Teresa when the Presidency is contested.
DeSantis is going to get eaten alive by the lie machine, *IF* he gets the nomination, which he won't so long as Trump is still around.
Probably true. If the primary nominations were held today, Trump would win. Which would be a shame because he'd absolutely get thrashed by Biden, losing every state he lost in '20 and probably adding NC to his losses as well. Maybe even Texas. And not only that, but he'd take the House down with him and the Dems would keep the Senate.
Fortunately, the primaries aren't today so I'm going to spend the next 12 months or so doing my best to convince my fellow FReepers that it's time to ditch this guy. He's lost his magic. He's on a losing streak that will only lead to even more Democrats going to Washington and keeping the White House in 2024.
