I am a seventy year old German and have only been following American domestic politics since mid 2016. I honestly cannot imagine DeSantis outing himself as a RINO and Cabal member now at this late stage of the struggle. I think that is illogical. As a politician seeking power and wealth in the somehow surviving system, I would first wait to see who wins the fight.

I think it is more likely that this antagonism between DJT and DeSantis is part of the show. Why? Final luring out of the last RINOs and their potential financiers? This could ensure a complete takeover of the Republican Party by MAGA before the upcoming elections.

I don't think, given American history, that a new, third party could succeed off the bat.
