can lay a glove on trump and it is not clear you can, but if you, can it is going to be running at him from the right. which desantis has set himself up to do. i mean, the thing is he has, he clearly has this missile complex but he doesn t really know how to express it. except in an ad that someone else makes. he doesn t come across as a figure of swaggering confidence the way donald trump does. he has basically, he is running a ted cruz campaign. he will give you a bunch of, he will give you policy agreements on everything that the religious right wants, where is donald trump s object warship. yes. trump believes in himself. he has gotten high on his own supply, to put it in common parlance. and you get the sense that ron desantis is sort of terrified of having to speak from anything beyond the script. even today he is like, you can almost hear him shuffling the papers and talking about the woke mind virus. it was so weird that when
now, lucky for mr. desantis, that was not the only part of his lunch today. he also released this much more traditional at. in florida, we prove that it can be done. we chose facts over fear, education over indoctrination, law and order overriding and disorder. we held the line when freedom the ballots. we showed that we can and must revitalize america. we need the courage to lead in the strength to win. i am ron desantis and i am running for president to lead our great american come back. there is a lot to get into there, but there is notably no mention of donald trump. there is no one in a maga when z and no one is quoting apprentice lines and no one is building walls out of cardboard box. so those days where ron desantis played understudy to donald trump, those day seem to be over. in fact, governor desantis at
can understand. desantis very blatantly decided to piggyback on trump and fetish eyes that whole thing for elected governor. then he does turn around. i mean, yes, loyalty in politics, you have to take with a grain of salt. but you have to take it pretty agree he is a piece of this is, someone like len youngkin or brian kemp, the math is not, the time and matt is not on ron desantis s side. trump has got his 40% or whatever ceiling is. like in 2016 you start dividing it up among the mike pence s and whoever else gets. and then eventually we have everyone is looking to rally behind on trump again. i think there s a lot of work to do. well, jonathan, in the scandals, the potentially looming criminal indictments have done nothing among the republican primary voters, but make trump stronger. i mean, you look at the numbers from trump has a 31 point lead over desantis, which is bigger than it was in march, which is when
including donald trump. another self-described savior with a predilection for unusually cool policies. now, desantis has continued to stack a policy victories so it and restricted the use of preferred pronouns in schools and willis goes on. today he saw it president without resigning as governor, very convenient. and also, hey, by the way, this also mail-in voting, limits their party veteran frustration in both stirs voter purges. just all right up together. trump, meanwhile, has apparently become more radical than he was even in office. in recent town hall trump called the january 6th attack on the capitol a beautiful day. he promised to pardon rioters if he becomes president. and he failed to rule out separating families at the border again. at this point if you are running in the republican
we need someone who is going to win, ron desantis is carrying around like 27 pounds of baggage in the form of these policies. i think he negates his own argument in a lot of ways by virtue of his record. right. that is the drama that the republican party isn t. because you can only beat donald trump, if you can beat him by running to the right, that automatically puts you in a worse general election position, even if you don t have donald trump s personal depravity. i have to play this video for you, which is not a campaign video, it s a video, it s a viral video featuring what is happening within the activated part of the republican primary electorate, as it pertains to the anti woke agenda that governor desantis has embraced. and just how virulent that poison is. this is, let s take a look at this video. we are in the boy section, guys. i want to show you over here. that is cool, right?
