jen, if it does, and you get desantis as the republican nominee, what s that then gonna do to him with voters in a general? well, it certainly wouldn t help him in a general election. running to the right of trump on some of these issues, or even to the right in a bizarre way, for example, being on the other side of disney. who hates mickey and minnie mouse? i guess ron desantis. but it would not help him in a general election. of course, he s trying to find his path. trying to find the way to contrast with trump. now, the truth is, there s another path that may not prove to be successful. but would be to be a more mainstream, less insane, right wing candidate. who could ve had the bio in the back on to do. he chose not to. he s chosen, so far, not to take that path. will it work in a primary? we don t really know yet. there s no evidence it s going to work. she has only dropped in the polls, next to trump since
deeply about that the republicans are happy to cut to smithereens if they could get it done. it s interesting to me that during the trump years republicans looked at the inroads they were making with white working class voters and they thought to themselves, maybe what we need to do is position ourselves against corporations. that s part of what you re watching with ron desantis and disney the, idea that he can put himself against a corporation, not against workers rights and tax cuts but instead about an ideological difference. but that is the core of what he is trying to do here. so it is interesting to me that the irs going after corporations that don t pay their fair share of taxes would be something that republicans in that mold would not join democrats in standing up against. it s funny because republicans like to say, if we only ran government more like a business. think about this, for a minute. can you imagine a business

former white house press secretary, and host of inside with jen psaki on msnbc. jen, desantis thinks he can position himself to the right of trump on things like immigration, abortion, he s aligning with trump on 16, which would seem to be like the most obvious place to begin to draw a distinction, and here he was, just tonight, in an interview on newsmax. some of the things he s been attacking me on, i ve been a little surprised at. he s attacking me from the left, that really wasn t the donald trump from 2015, and 2016, he was a hard charger, leaning in on all the issues. very edgy on conservative issues. and was part of the reason he did so well. but when he s taken disney side against me, i just kind of wonder, okay, i getting wants to hit me, but don t take the side of a multinational corporation that wants to sexualize kids. he s also hitting me against voting we against immigration amnesty. so, lots of lies in their. first, will that work to sway trump voters and republican
