“Funny how Trump was “no conservative” (I agree with this assessment) ... and yet he did a better job of promoting and advancing a truly conservative political agenda during his four years in office than the Republican Party had done for 20+ years before he showed up on the scene.”
That’s because most of the GOP are not only not conservatives, but are seemingly anti-conservative. We haven’t called them the Uniparty for nothing.
While I support and applaud most of what Trump did while in office (securing the border, rebuilding military, improving the economy, putting America first instead of dead last like the Dems have done, etc.)....that was then and this is now. A LOT has happened since then.
Yes, Trump has been unfairly demonized and accused in an ongoing, 24/7 attack by the radical left Democrats. But that is exactly ‘why’ I question his motives now when he unfairly demonizes and attacks DeSantis. Attacking DeSantis with lies and blatant BS and personal attacks is turning off more of his supporters than it’s winning for him, myself included. While I would have voted for him, I think this last crack, if he truly made it, is the last straw for me. He is apparently not bright enough to glean the fact and reality that many of us don’t trust him now....because of his attacking the right, instead of the left. Attack the Democrats, not your own (supposedly) side.

This is exactly the same strategy Trump used to win the GOP nomination in 2016. He's running to secure the nomination in a political party where the leadership has been at odds with the grassroots voters for years. You don't attack the Democrats in a Republican primary campaign.
When Trump campaigned loudly in 2016 about "draining the Swamp," it wasn't lost on GOP voters that the Swamp is filled with Republicans and Democrats alike.
