And worse for DeSantis, the new conventional wisdom is that Trump sunk the GOP in the midterms. Why would Republicans want to embrace another Trump?

“The tough thing for DeSantis is the voters talk about how DeSantis is like Trump. It’s very clear that Ron DeSantis’s whole brand is a Trump imitation. The question is: What happens when he goes head-to-head with the guy he’s imitating?” https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/11/13/trump-republicans-rivals-2024/

Republican rivals start plotting a post-Trump future

The GOP's disappointing midterm results spur some donors and party leaders to consider other 2024 candidates.

The Washington Post
@Aravosis because they are deplorable and at heart the racist fascists they keep denying they are.
@Aravosis Didn’t DeSantis endorse nearly all of the same people Trump did?

@Aravosis In terms of political ambitions, though, it’s now or never for both DeSantis and Trump. Neither can sit it out. Best case scenario for RD is that he weathers DT’s onslaught just enough to top him in the first few primaries, and then goes in for the kill with that momentum. But that’ll only be for that wing of the party.

But regardless, eff both those guys anyway! 🙂

@Aravosis DeSantis is just a Trump "Mini Me".
(Someone needs to create the meme.)
Betting the GOP strategists are trying to convince some long time politicians with name recognition who got pushed out of GOP to return and run for POTUS. They know letting Trump or DeSantis run would hand the Dems the WH unless Dem mess-up and run somebody like Hillary or Sanders.
