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

@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! 🙂
