Good luck with that Ron.
We look forward to seeing that little scuffle, before you take the exists like so many before you.
No Republican who has taken on Trump still has Presidential aspirations. Most will never hold higher office than they have now.
A few have been outright expelled from the party.
I’d pay to watch DeSantis suffer the same fate.
It's not 2016 and Ron DeSantis isn't Ted Cruz. Trump is no longer the warrior outsider taking on a field of lightweights that the base has little enthusiasm for.
Trump is now a defeated Washington insider with a tarnished record whose handpicked candidates were thoroughly rejected during the midterms while Ron DeSantis is the most popular Republican governor in the country, re-elected in a massive landslide and enjoying an 85% approval rating.
If Trump thinks he's going to roll over Ron DeSantis like he did Cruz, Rubio, or Jeb, he's in for a surprise. DeSantis has an army of enthusiastic supports who love the fight he's put forth in championing conservatism while destroying liberal institutions in Florida.
DeSantis is taking on the Biden Administration while Trump tweets about Stormy Daniels, Rihanna, throws gay soirées at Mar-A-Lago, and needlessly attacks Republican leaders who are wildly more conservative, likable, and accomplished than he is.
