In recent days I spoke with a half dozen GOP insiders about the recent flare-ups between DeSantiss and Trumps camps. The sources agreed that DeSantis and Trump are on an inevitable collision course as the 2024 GOP field takes shape. Theres going to be a blowup, a prominent Republican said. Trump fucking hates DeSantis. He just resents his popularity, a Trump confidant told me. Asked for comment, Trump spokesperson Liz Harrington said: Governor DeSantis has shown great respect.

I forget that not everyone here is on Twitter.

both elements in play.
De Santis by the way, is more dangerous than tfg. so, if this is a true story, instead of being humored maybe we should be on our toes?

(15,614 posts)Both are evil, Trump is childish on top of that. Even if Trump didn't want to run in 2024, he'd rather no Republican win at all, only win by sucking up to Trump all the time and giving all credit for their win to Trump.

(63,221 posts)I saw this coming a mile away, especially when DeSantis started giving him a run for his money in the polls.
I can't stand DeSantis, but I would love to see Trump taken down. They are both fascist scum, but DeSantis is younger, smarter, better looking and more personable. He is just as evil, but not quite as odious or as repulsive on a personal level.
Anyway, this should be fun to watch, however it turns out.

Deplorables - you are showing us your best! You all are the remains in the spittoon of history.
smirkymonkey
(63,221 posts)matter how awful, seems tolerable by comparison. DeSantis has a filter at least. Trump doesn't.
It still doesn't mean I would ever approve of him or want him to be president. I just want to see somebody out-Trump Trump. We'll deal with DeSantis later.

(58,785 posts)Just look at "Hang Pence" by people who'd supported him as a great VP moments before.
Wonder if DeSantis is aware enough to have nightmares where he's orating to cheering crowds that turn into lynch mobs.
