It will be good if he does. Competition is good.

Sleaze ball behavior

What is? Making a speech in New York? Does Trump need to give him permission to do that or something?

If he visited my area, I’d try to go see him. He’s an exciting, new successful Republican governor. That’s worth seeing.

“Sleaze ball behavior

DeSantis hasn’t complained. Calling him names won’t promote your agenda either.

DeSantis would be well advised to not mention Trump, even if he is asked about him. As in FLEE from the topic. DeSantis’ actions and policy statements will do the job.

He has never said he is not running...And Florida sure doesn't think he's a sleazeball.

Take two aspirins and try again tomorrow.

There are fundraising opportunities in parts of NYC.

This is not surprising.

He’s really grown as a politician. Remember him just barely beating the black queer? Gilliam was a ‘charismatic’ wannabe Obama and DeSantis seemed a bit stiff. The lead-up to the election(2018) had a ‘helplessly hoping’ element. Turns out Gillium was more stiff if you get my ‘drift.’ Heh heh.

NOT a single Dem can do their job properly-—and they cannot stand for anyone to tell them such.

Same behavior Trump has displayed many times, so I am not sure what your gripe is.
