You either agree with Trump in which case why are you running except maybe to give it a go and get your name out there and get some experience on the national campaign trail to prepare yourself for 2028; or, you are an idiot and try to diss him and disagree with him, pissing off well over half of the folks you are going to need to support you to get the nomination and win the general election. THAT was from day one a losing proposition.
And then there is staying power. What we are seeing is that the lawfare conspiracy against Trump is being executed through the agency of very corrupt, incompetent and/or frothing at the mouth insane left-wing ideologues. Who knew Fani was going to blow herself up so spectacularly and then try to charge the scorned widow with obstruction of justice for accusing here lying philandering sleezeball husband of being exactly those things.
DeSantis has pretty well taken himself out of the 2028 running.
Yeah but look at all the money he made.
When he went in the Uniparty tank on J6, he queered his chances of ever getting my vote.
You can’t run against Trump and expect support from his supporters if you’re going to insult them in the process. It’s pretty simple math. I feel like Jeb Bush was his strategerist or something .
