The rintintin/oak007 deja vu ‘DeSantis the Hero’ post:
Step 3 - ignore any comments stating that DeSantis will not run 2024
No, I don’t ignore. I’ve asked many times for a link to an article where Desantis says he won’t run in 2024. Every time I ask to see such an article, I get radio silence in return.

DeSantis has not officially stated ‘I’m not running 2024’ but early on he has made references. See below: Article from June 8, Link below
“ But, despite that DeSantis denied any presidential ambition and declined to respond to WINK News’ repeated questions about whether he was running.
“I dont’ do straw polls, they just put my name in there,” DeSantis said. “What am I supposed to do? They sell merchandise, I kinda like to get royalties on that.”
His supporters liked that joke.
WINK News asked if he was considering running.
With a brief stumble he said, “I don’t… I… I’ve addressed that so many times. So, so go ahead,” then quickly addressed the next question.
DeSantis has repeatedly said he is focusing on his job as governor and that he’s not actively planning a run for the White House in 2024.”

Granted, I only did a quick search and had to scroll past the numerous ‘Let’s divide the republican base by pushing DeSantis’ articles and polls.
Believe what you will but I guarantee that any politician running against Trump will get destroyed. Why? Because primaries are not nice and voters with hurt feelings don’t heal quickly, 2016 Cruz voters as an example. Any MAGA politician that decides to run against Trump cares nothing about the voters and only about their own ambitions. If DeSantis runs, it will split the party 50/50 and the eventual primary winner will be damaged whether it is Trump or DeSantis. Some, including you, believe DeSantis has a better chance of winning the general…..maybe, maybe not. DeSantis hasn’t had the ‘vile media, politicians Trump treatment’ yet. But he will also have Trump scars incurred during the primary and that will be used against him in the general.
So…..think what you will and ponder what a primary will look like before wishing for it. Personally I believe DeSantis would be a fool to run 2024 considering he would have a clear path 2028 and would sweep the primary. And I believe he hasn’t officially ruled out 2024 so he can accumulate a war chest and can keep that option open if Trump doesn’t run. Those that believe he will run are not giving him any credit for ‘being smarter’ than that with his political choices.
Why would MSN give publicity to DeSantis won’t fight Trump for nomination in 2024? MSM and GOPe WANTS a fight between those two. I thought you were smart enough to understand MSM.
