DeSantis should apologize publicly to Trump and all MAGA supporters for calling them “Listless Vessels”. That’d be a start.
Yes. Originally, I liked DeSantis, but he's pretty much ruined his chances of ever becoming president. He should withdraw and support Trump to have any future chance.
If Trump called DeSantis supporters Listless Vessels not only would you not have a problem with it, I strongly suspect you would find it humorous.
It should start with Trump apologizing for his name calling of DeStanis eh?
Read his full quote! His comment was perfect. He could use other words than listless, such as whatever, but the point is well made.
DeSantis should apologize publicly to Trump and all MAGA supporters for calling them “Listless Vessels”.

I listened to DeSantis’ complete statement. While it’s questionable if his characterization was a wise political move, the truth of the sentiment was spot on. His point _ The Trump Only crowd wakes each morning to see what’s on Truth Social so they can instinctively and blindly parrot what their leader is putting out. No objective consideration of the bigger and long term picture - just follow Trump at all costs.
Desantis’ point is that the conservative movement is more than just about any one person. Further, to build a winning coalition will require expanding beyond Trump’s core followers.
Last week’s AP-NORC poll revealed that 53% of the electorate will not vote for Trump under any circumstances. This matches precisely what Trump achieved in 2020, when he received 46.8% of the popular vote. Nothing has changed, except that Trump has driven away more potential supporters by his relentless character assassinations against other GOP candidates.
Worry not, ye of little faith. Biden will not be running in the coming election—Too Much Baggage. The Obama/Hillary camp will select another name and face to look good (and not be so openly corrupt). My money is on Governor Witmer or Governor Newsom.
When Trump apologizes to DeSantis for the many names and nasty tweets he’s done. I’d be all in with DeSantis apologizing following trump’s apology.
