Personally, I've seen worse. A lot worse.
Of course, anyone captivated by the bombast that is Donald Trump's claim to fame will see anyone else as lackluster, even when that is often a disadvantage. I find the blind cult worship of Trump to be no less and no better than the same blind adoration that followed Obama for eight dreadful years. They are cut from the same cloth.
Given the compulsive prejudice in such people against anyone and anything that is even perceived to slightly work contrary to Trump, DeSantis could be the second coming of Christ and he'd still suffer such non-stop brickbats. Then again, that's how prejudice works.
Everyone adores Trump for all the good he did while in office. With the exception of his judicial appointments, and thank God for them, it turned out most of that was nothing more than smoke, and was undone within weeks of Biden being appointed to the throne. DeSantis' work, being done through legislation, is doing considerable good and is much longer lasting. But the brain-dead Trump groupies here have nothing but disdain and childish insults for the man. It is completely without honor.
As I've said before, I wish DeSantis had not tossed his hat into the ring. Trump wants to be POTUS again, I say let him have it. I'd look forward to four years of bedlam, after which someone like DeSantis could then step in and finish the job more decisively, assuming the United States is still intact.
Ultimately, though, as I've been saying for years now, none of this stupid backbiting and infighting is going to amount to a hill of beans, since the Deep State and it's massive vote-fraud machine will never allow another Republican to hold high office again. Bank on it.
The GOP base is rapidly becoming dominated by drama queens. They are addicted to “The Days of Our Trump” and reject the entire idea of actually winning and governing.
Excellent
