I’m not sure what he was getting at. I think Desantis is legit. Still hates the media but 10x smarter than trump at actually speaking. State still did much better than most.
More or less. Harvard grad (not to attach too much to that). He's clearly not a dummy.
He can, and has, run circles around Cuomo. And just look at the media fawning over Cuomo - even now, the crap Cuomo is dealing with is worse than most anything Trump allegedly did. But the media is largely giving him a free pass because they're about politics, not facts.
I think what DeSantis took from Trump is not to be intimidated by the media bullshit about racist, sexist, etc...Doesn't apologize, but instead hits back. That's what was new and "refreshing" about Trump to his supporters. Difference is, DeSantis is a polished politician and not inherently an asshat.
Strong Repub field in 2024 along with Kristi Noem and Nikki Haley. Hopefully they don't split the vote and pave a path for Trump. 2024 is a long ways away, but it sort of feels like the only way Repubs lose the POTUS is if they nominate Trump.
