...before entering the presidential race, Christie took aim at DeSantis over the Florida governor’s ongoing war with Disney.
“That’s not the guy I want sitting across from President Xi [Jinping] ... or sitting across from [President Vladimir] Putin and trying to resolve what’s happening in Ukraine, if you can’t see around a corner [Disney CEO] Bob Iger created for you,” Christie told Semafor in April. “I don’t think Ron DeSantis is a conservative, based on his actions towards Disney.”

You think DeSantis supporters are afraid of that tub of lard? It’s a badge of honor to be insulted by Christie. What I’m saying is that when your favorite candidate and Christ Christie are attacking DeSantis from the exact same angle, that means your candidate is getting bad advice, and it also means DeSantis is doing the right thing.
it wouldn’t be Chrisie sitting in fromt of Xi or Putin as they don’t have chairs wide enough.
I totally agree with you. I don’t know who is advising Trump right now, but they’re doing a lousy job of it. He was attacking DeSantis FROM THE LEFT and accusing him of being too conservative, especially in his fight over LGBTQ+ with the teachers’ union and the very, very powerful Disney (which takes a lot of guts).
Then again, maybe Trump is advising Trump.
Liberal dems like christie don’t get the final vote on who is or is not a conservative. We’ll do our own thinking.
He's attacking DeSantis from the left which is a short-term strategy. Long-term it's a disastrous strategy, but he can't see past the 50M target to see the 300M target. Trump says things now with the goal of winning the primary. Meanwhile they will come back to burn him in the general.
First, you said it is just happening now. The quote from the article is from months ago.
Then you said Trumpers and Trump and Christie are all on the same side.
No, they aren’t. Try to follow along.
Christie’s case is DeSantis is not conservative for the government to punish a corporation if they disagree with you.
Christie doesn’t lay the case out properly. It’s not if somebody expresses a disagreement that you’re punished. This is a corp that has responsibility to the shareholders, not to changing the policy of education in the state. And it’s not a corp that has been punished, it has been subsized. So putting it on equal footing with all the other corps which capitalism and not subsidizing which is what conservatism is all about is not punishing.
Trump’s position is that he is being outplayed by the company and he could have stopped it long ago but doesn’t know how to negotiate.
But Desancitimonious supporters always lie so if you don’t praise DeSantis it is normal from them to lie and claim two different arguments are ataccking from the “exact same” angle.
EverTrumpers keep telling us that we shouldn’t choose anyone but Trump because XXXX will get the same treatment from RINOs and Dems.
As if we didn’t know that.
We KNOW that whoever is R, even a proven RINO, will be savaged by Leftists in politics, media, and general Joe Schmoe talk. This is not new to us. It did not come with Trump. Our whole lives have been Dems calling Repubs NAZIs. We KNOW that.
Tell us something we don’t know.
I think he’s angling for a Fox Snooze contributor spot.
