My hope would be back channels between Trump and DeSantis for running mates in 2024 have already taken place and this is just Trump throwing shade at DeSantis now to get the media off DeSantis back abut running in 2024.
This could well be true. If the media/the left perceive bad blood between Trump and DeSantis, they will completely jump to "DeSantis Can Do No Wrong" mode and then later if he is the VP candidate, they have to eat all their praising words.
What could also be true is that DeSantis's head has inflated because he thinks he "Out-Trumps Trump." But it would be a disaster if he tried to usurp MAGA from Trump. We are loyal to Trump and we want him to have his term.
Thank you for a well reasoned reply. I'm not saying I would pick De Santis over Trump...but I would most CERTAINLY pick DeSantis over anything that the left have to offer up.
I 100% agree with you here. And this is my hope. Kind of dont like seeing all the lifelong rinos out there pumping desantis. Huge red flag for me, but we shall see. Too early to take a hard and fast line and start fighting a friendly. Hoping this is the strategy
Those RINOS are hitching their future on getting on his good side because they are politicians and they think he might be a future President - I don't think that makes DeSantis a RINO. Many of those same RINOS did the same under Trump once he was elected. Remember Mittens begging PDJT for a place in his administration? Miss Lindsey sure seemed to like kissing Trump's ass once No Name was out of the picture. How about Cocain Mitch begging Trump for an endorsement (which Trump gave, by the way)? Did any of that make Trump a RINO by association?
Well couple of things. It was a red flag for me with Trump then and still one of the things I wish he had done differently. Also then it wasnt quite so clear how much the deep state rinos hate this country and true patriots. Mitt was a wishy washy centrist until Trump completely exposed him. I also simply made the case I dont like it, and that we will see. Doesnt turn into a trump vs desantis battle for me at this point and i refuse to fight with you or anyone else between those two. I like trump better and desantis right behind him. If this cycle all those same rinos were backing trump and fighting to get him in position i certainly would wonder what in the world it was about and i wouldnt feel as comfortable that he is who i think he is. Thats all. Have a great day friend
I was not meaning to seem confrontational - I asked a question because I knew the answer - No, those things did not make Trump a RINO and I think it is premature for people to label DeSantis a RINO for the exact same reasons. RINOS will always exist and they will do or say (and back) whatever it takes to remain in the posistions they are in.
And one other part i didnt address, I didnt say desantis was a rino and i dont think them trying to align and corrupt him makes him one. I dont think he is, but i know that cast of characters well and i dont want any of them anywhere near our govt. Have an even better day, :)

Me, too.
