Great analysis by Sundance. Thanks for bringing it to us, Bratch.
Trump is actually doing DeSantis by taunting him now. He’s warning the governor: there are political consequences to pay for challenging Trump for the 2024 nomination.
And people don’t fully realize quite yet: DeSantis is not that strong on his feet. In fact, nobody can stand up to Trump when it comes to live fisty-cuff exchanges on the television stage.
We all remember how another Florida Governor, tippy-toes Jeb Bush, was brought down in debates by the Donald. Even the strong orator, Lyin’ Ted, was no match for the straight-talking Donald.
Actually, what DeSantis should fear the most is Kari Lake winning her Governorship election court battle in Arizona. Lake has got the silver tongue and moxie to challenge DeSantis in 2028 and win the MAGA vote.
I bet DeSantis will not run this time. If he does, he will — like Jeb — bail after South Carolina and claim he made a good run. He definitely fears being crushed by Trump in the Florida Super-Tuesday primary.
Great post.
Now, take 5 laps around Lake Wallenpaupac, face east to Mecca and flip it the bird with both hands.
