This is what they do. They present him as not too bad. Live-withable, beatable then they’ll move in “we used to think he was okay until we learned…about him. Now even we, the mostly bipartisan, reasonable, cannot abide.
Same as they did with Romney and McCain former not so bass. Then when running, the worst. They find that weak point and exploit it to no end. Then these guys cave. Then lose. Trump didn’t cave so they’re still after him
If for some reason DeSantis and not Trump is the '24 nominee, expect to see Trump rehabilitated in the media. We'll be treated to NYT editorials proclaiming, "Maybe Donald Trump wasn't so bad after all."
Hell, they might even let him build a library.
