President Trump made a big unforced error attacking DeSantis at his rally the other day.
Not just because he did so just before an election day on which the Republicans simply must destroy the Democrats–after all, Governor DeSantis doesn’t need Trump’s support to win. If Trump went into full attack mode it wouldn’t dent DeSantis’ reputation one little bit.
So Trump’s attack is electorally irrelevant (which in itself is an unforced error, as it shows Trump to be weaker than he wants to look against a political rival).
Trump’s attack was a mistake because he opened up an old wound that could be Trump’s Achilles’ Heel: his huge mistakes dealing with COVID. Mistakes that DeSantis saw early and rejected quickly. Unnoticed by many, he has attacked Kemp in Georgia as well, which is truly bizarre as his attacks would help Stacey Abrams, a particularly disliked figure among Republicans. Trump once quipped that Stacey Abrams would be a better governor than Kemp–something nobody outside the Left believes. Kemp, though, will not be hurt by Trump’s jibes either.
Both Kemp and DeSantis were more right on COVID when it mattered than Trump.

I don’t see him that way, but it may be possible that he is.
We need him to follow-on Trump. Someone has to.
What do you base that on?
Amen.
Why anyone, here, would even cast doubt on Trump’s 2020 win, is, well....straight outta DS.
LOL
I have yet to contract that.
Follow the donor money.
My hunch is Ron is going to be stupid and run in '24. I hope I am wrong.
Unless, of course, Trump is correct about DeSantis, a likely possibility.
Agree, mostly. But his political mistakes give a lot of ammo to fake news outlets to bash him with.
The fluffers are out!
It doesn’t bother you she supported Kerry in 2004 and Obama
in 2008?
She called John McCain a hero when he died.
How does anyone with even a sliver of caring about our nation
do those sorts of things?
I’d tread very very carefully with regard to her. I’m not
convinced she’s very reliable. She’s been an R, a D, and
now back to an R again.
Yes, Reagan flipped parties, but the Democrat Party he
left was so tame by today’s standards, its pointless to
even raise the issue with the likes of Kerry and Obama
in contemporary times. And as for McCain, I’m sorry but
I do not agree with her then assessment of the man.
Yep. Sure enough.
I wouldn’t give Rollins the time of day any longer.
He’s been “over” for a long long time > IMO.
You may wish to look at my post just above to Jane Long.
???
Whatchu talkin’ ‘bout, Willis?
Did you mean that post for someone else?
;-)
You didn’t make reference to follow the money connected to
Ron DeSantis?
Who were you referring to, in your post?? The Kerry supporter.
Keri Lake.
The thread had been dealing with Ron DeSantis and his merits
vs Lake.
Your comments on follow the money seemed to me to mean you
were thinking Ron was inferior to Lake.
Is that incorrect?
Trump endorsed Kemp at the Dayton rally.
I didn’t miss Trump’s rally. Yes, he did mention DeSantis and endorsed him as one of the candidates that MAGA folks should vote for. Get a grip and keep an eye out for the cheaters tomorrow and during the late late late counting.
>>>I thought it was really in poor taste. My estimation of Trump dropped quite a bit.>>>>
Same here.
I keep thinking Trump did it to give never-Trump progressive Demonicrats reason to vote DeSantis. Then, when DeSantis wins with 95% of total votes, Trump can say he engineered it.
Calling people names.
