Well, various 2016 primary candidates, like Jeb, tried that strategy, to just let Trump run his mouth while they tried to stay “above the fray”. Didn’t work. They just let Trump set the narrative unopposed.
The Media helped Trump all through the 2016 primaries. They then turned on him big time, and had wanted him only because they thought he could not beat Hillary. Surprise. Now, they want him again and (other than in this article) bash Desantis as Florida’s Hitler or something, because they see Trump as the one person Biden could beat. Why? Because he has developed such high negatives, just like Hillary. Look, both Trump and Desantis are good men. Let the contest play out. The enemy is Biden and the Orwellian future his re-election will most certainly bring about.
