Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Sunday pushed back against Gov. Chris Christie’s strategy of launching attacks at former President Donald Trump — and discussed plans to ratchet up his mainstream media exposure in the crowded 2024 GOP field.
DeSantis, in an interview on Fox News’s “MediaBuzz,” was asked to respond to Christie’s claims that he is the only Republican presidential candidate to go toe-to-toe with Trump, 77, because the others are to afraid of offending the front-runner or his supporters.
“I don’t do insults so that is true,” DeSantis said. “I think just getting in this insult game turns voters off. That’s something I won’t do.”
DeSantis underscored that he and his campaign have been “very frank at our differences with respect to the former president.”
On the campaign trail, the Sunshine State governor has honed in on what he views as Trump’s failures to deliver conservative policy victories, such as the border wall. He’s also portrayed himself as a better manager.

I’m becoming apathetic, sorry to say. I want to see this horrendous president ejected, but after watching all of Trump’s Senate picks tank last year, I’m not looking forward to the inevitable 4 more years of complaining and excuse-making when Trump probably loses again next year.
The communists are crafty and disciplined and our voters are foolish and stubborn. The only reason I think Trump even has a remote chance is because Biden is a stupid invalid with a miserable record. I would of course vote for Trump, but I am a betting man and would place money on Biden as an easy consolation prize.
“I don’t do insults so that is true,” DeSantis said. “I think just getting in this insult game turns voters off. That’s something I won’t do.”
And he will bring the same weak game against the Dems as well.
We saw this already with George W, who would never fight back either.
Go elect a political Saint who tries to please EVERYONE.
Speak for yourself. The vast majority of us appreciate a pit bull approach to Democrats and Republican establishment scumbags.
No, my FRiend, but I do think that we Vets are an important voting segment. I think that our viewpoints are especially important at a time when so many, including Trump, do not appreciate the importance of protecting classified information.
Thanks for serving. Oh, and I did 4 active, plus a year in the State Mil Reserves.
Vast majority??
Nearly half the party won’t vote for him in the general.
And now he’s pals with Hillary Clinton. Scary....
