DeSantis knows darn well there was fraud, because he cleaned it up in Miami-Dade, which was one of the worst offenders. But I guess he doesn’t want to tick off all his squishy Bushie backers by saying it out loud anymore.
He knows (as Trump or any other serious minded person does ) the Government as founded is broken and nothing short of a Civil War can restore it.
Voting fraud is one example, he cleaned it up in his state but other states such as PA have illegally codified vote fraud at all levels, but SCOTUS refused to step in.
So what DeSantis supposed to say, on day one in office he will restore Federalism by violating it ?
As for Trump, well he complains about anything that doesn't go his way, I think its as much of a "New Yorker" thing as it is his personality.
But whomever the Republican nominee is, they are in a no win situation.
Anything they do to woo independents will alienate the base since we despise "single issue/identity politics" and independents despise Federalism and the our Government as founded .
At this point in our history we are on a collision course for a Civil War, and like all wars it will be a horrible thing to endure, and will require a lot more pain before a critical mass is reached to start it.
Unfortunately, I believe the coming years will be the saddest in our history.
