"SNIP.......
The race to the bottom in the 2024 Republican presidential primary continues apace now that Ron DeSantis is officially a candidate. Never mind that his announcement on Twitter was glitch-filled farce. And set aside that he is trialing Donald Trump by anywhere between 20 and 60 points.
Despite Trump's lead among the MAGA cult that dominates the Republican Party, he is feverishly obsessed with the threat that DeSantis poses to his quest for the nomination. Trump posts more comments on his floundering Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, about DeSantis than any other single subject. Yet he cheerfully welcomes all other GOP contenders into the fray. There's a reason for that...
Meanwhile, DeSantis is parading around on right-wing media, hoping to prove that he is more Trumpy than Trump. On virtually every issue DeSantis is running to Trump's right. He'll deport more immigrants than Trump. He'll ban more books than Trump. He hates LGBTQ+ people more than Trump. He'll suppress more votes than Trump.
Most of all, DeSantis pledges to wage a more hostile, censorious, and totalitarian war against "woke" (whatever that means) than Trump. Even if that means the political genocide of his ideological foes. On Monday morning DeSantis was on Fox News responding why he thinks this is the right time for his campaign...
* Everyone knows that if I'm the nominee that I will beat Biden. I will serve two terms. And I will be able to destroy leftism in this country, and leave 'woke' ideology on the dustbin of history.

Every bit of accusatory hate speech is an admission of guilt.

(1,840 posts)Dude, as you and your co-travelers made the entire 'woke' thing up, that means you're going to leave most of your own ideology in the 'dustbin of history'.

That is is his only hope for '24. That is why he has been rather "non-communicative" in responding to any Trump insults.
He does not want to lose potential MAGAt votes... but that also makes him appear to be "weak".
Unfortunately for him, according to all that I have read, it seems very unlikely that any potential trial of Donald Trump, on his many likely criminal charges in multiple venues, will be completed before the 2024 General Election (the courts are so overbooked and slow), let alone before the GQP nominating convention....

(6,117 posts)Because I'm of the opinion that moderates and normal independents will not vote for trump because of 1-6-21. At least that's what so many moderate and independent voters keep saying...🤞
