I strongly believe that DeSantis was being positioned to be the alternative to Trump in the upcoming election cycle by the establishment GOP. Especially as it looked like Trump would be knocked out of the race due to indictments or whatever. Then DeSantis would “swoop in” as the savior of the party and return it to its uni-party roots. If true, DeSantis allowed himself to be used as a tool.
Great post. I’ve been speculating for months that DeSantis never wanted to run in 2024, but is being led around by his handlers like a poodle on a chain.
DeSantis has the issue that he is anti-woke. A certain number of people think, or will think, he is the devil incarnate.
Then some poll found 30% of Trump’s base won’t vote if the Republicans nominate someone else.
Personally I would vote for either; however I like Vivek Ramaswamy. But not for 2024 because he stands no chance. Put him in an important place, say Secretary of the Treasury, then let him and DeSantis duke it out in 2028.
RDS IS a “TOOL”!
“DeSantis was being positioned to be the alternative to Trump”
Agreed, but now I’m interested in this guy Vivek Ramaswamy, who’s also running but we scarcely see him in the news.
People do really strange abnormal things for "power"
