They say history repeats itself. They say it rhymes. They say, “the more things change the more they are the same.” I must confess that I never thought of Ron DeSantis and Jeb Bush in the same breath, but Rick Wilson might be onto something here.
2/ They've gotten so much love from the Fox world (and yes, Donald, the decision is made…they're just going to ignore you and give Ron sloppy blowjobs 24/7), from the gentry GOP media (National Review's 39th "Ron is God" article is coming any time now)…

Trumpty will indeed go nuts in a world where Fox News has turned Judas and cleaved its fealty with another. Forsooth.
4/ The momentum is growing. His easy rollup in Florida of the legislature and the courts has given him an authoritarian hard-on that he clearly believes will lead him on a smooth, straight path to the Oval Office.
His attacks on personal liberties and free speech worked.

6/ …and a number of increasingly obvious abrogations of legislative, judicial, and regulatory power into the hands of DeSantis.
All of these will be falsely labeled as "conservative" but will in fact be expansions of state power in the hands of one man.

We haven’t heard the chants of “states rights” like these, not to mention threats of secession, since the Civil War. The 1960’s came close in the states rights area but not to the degree that DeSantis and this crowd is prepared to take it, unless I miss my guess.
8/ We'll see what happens when the rubber hits the runway and DeSantis is tested on the campaign trail.
A few months ago, many on the Democratic side still insisted Trump was The Former Guy grew very angry that I said I want to pit Trump vs DeSantis.

10/ I don't want either in the White House, but I do want a bloody, brutal, gut-spilling fight between them.
And we're going to get it.
More later.

If this is any indication, 2024 should be lit. However, one word of caution here: It’s a long way to 2024 and Trump’s legal problems compound by the day. Plus, the January 6 Committee is still holding hearings and interviewing witnesses. Just saying.
Hopefully DJT will be looking thru Prison bars before 2023!!! Fingers crossed!
Yes but I hope diaper don and death sentence tear each other to pieces before he gets there.
Checking popcorn futures right now.
