What do we think about Trump bashing Ron DeSantis?

@CryptidPolitics

Trump World is debuting an interesting strategy in the lead up to 2024:

“Let’s bash and lie about the most popular Republican governor!”

I’m sure that will be a winning strategy.

Maybe we should ask how everyone feels about the Globalists all lining up behind DeSantis. I like DeSantis, he’s doing an excellent job, but the people backing him are exploiting him, and want to use him to bring Trump down so they can have a clear field of returning to the Bush Cheney days.

I think Jeb was the NWO pick then. If Trump hadn’t run, it could have been Jeb.

I say Trump should resist taking the bait.

Slimeballs, probably from the consultant class, and affiliated with the GOPe, are trying to get the fighting going. For instance this suddenly showing up out of nowhere on FR, from a n00b, who hasn't posted since last September:

Taking Aim at DeSantis, Spooked Trump Considers Launching 2024 Bid in Florida

Trump and DeSantis are in the same book, if not on the same page.

Its the Jeb!s, Nimratas, Christies, and Hogans that are the problem.

Supporters is one thing but Trump himself seems to be going after DeSantis a lot.

DeSantis doesn't disavow these attacks from his supports nor does he dismiss running. Those are DeSantis decisions.

Thus reponding to these attacks seems appropriate.

I don’t give a rip.

Ready to take up arms for election integrity.

I'm not sure it's a good idea....

I think Trump's attacks on DeSantis are destructive and harmful to the conservative cause. And the cause matters far more to me than either man does.

Has Trump lied? Prove that claim, I say.

I think it’s not a good optic. I voted for President Trump twice and support him now. I’m not yet sure he can put together a winning number coalition of voters in 2024 like he did in 2016 and 2020. H e may not end up being the eventual nominee. Do we need him writing attack ads for the Dems against DeSantis ahead of time? No. It’s early still, I think. These do not improve President Trump’s position in the race will cause supporters to question whether he has learned enough from his experiences in office to be more effective this time, if given a chance. It gives me no joy to write this but it will take more than blind optimism to win in 2024 against a lot of hurdles that will be thrown up in front of us. Please change my mind?

I prefer Trump attacking the policies and people that got us in this mess-—some of whom Trump appointed.

“we” don’t care.
Someone needs to make people aware of the folks DeSantis admires, is being supported and managed by, is in alignment with. Someone needs to let us know he wants to be a politician in the mold of Paul Ryan. I’m glad Trump is willing to take the heat and tell the truth yet again.

Not when it came at the expense of learning how to ballot harvest. Name calling is a losing strategy in today’s reality. And how do you possibly support McDaniel getting his support after she said she basically learned NOTHING from 2020 and 2022?

2016 is a long time ago. If you think others are going to lay down and play dead like that crew did on the name calling you’re kidding yourself.

There is a plethora of people who deserve Trump’s nastiness, and they are either Dems in power or RINOs who assist them.

Watching Trump bash DeSantis is like imagining Ike in the 50s bashing conservative opponent Sen. Robert Taft in his 1952 campaign, when the real bashing-deservers were Stalin, Mao, and the leftist Dems like Adlai Stevenson and Estes Kefauver.

I do not have 1% of Trump’s innate fighting ability, and I can see he’s picking the wrong fight at the wrong time.

Trump is going to trash DeSantis. That’s what he does. I’m going to vote for DeSantis if he is in the primaries. Of course I’ll vote for Trump if he is the last man standing.

The 11 th Commandment aside, DeSantis had better get used to it.

DeSantis is going to have to endure this until he declares he isn’t running. He must enjoy the attention he is getting. You know Trump thrives on this stuff! Trump has unfinished business in Washington and I pray to God above he gets back there and completes the mission!!

I don’t cringe often or easily and these messages from President Trump are ringing alarm bells in me. We’re going to be running against a huge “give us free sh*t” army of Dem voters and a much heavier-hitter than Biden/Harris in 2024. If President Trump plans to be the one to beat them we need a more disciplined and organized plan to do so. This can’t be it.

I’m afraid if he continues down this road he won’t win the election but won’t win the Nomination. He turned off too many the last go round. He’s not likely to win them back and will probably lose more this time if he continues the trash talk.
