Arrogance.
DeSantis should avoid any mention of basement.
I really think there is an “elephant in the room” that some people just don’t see:
The 2020 election was stolen.
People who can’t acknowledge that and can’t say it out loud, are living in an alternate reality. I’ve never heard Ron DeSantis acknowledge the election was stolen.
I think that’s the problem with these Republican challengers except maybe Vivek. They think 2020 wasn’t stolen, therefore they agree Trump is a liar, and they agree Jan 6 was an insurrection, and that Trump and his MAGA supporters belong in jail.
That makes them traitors in my book - and I think a ton of Republican voters feel exactly the same as me.
