That is the question facing today’s Republicans: Which cancer do you want — Florida’s Ron DeSantis, or, Donald Trump? Doesn’t matter, either one is fatal.
According to former Rep. Dave Jolly (R-FL) Donald Trump is in danger of being supplanted as the leading contender for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination due to a surging Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL).
Appearing on MSNBC’s “The Katie Phang Show,” the former lawmaker who once faced DeSantis on the ballot referred to appearances by both Republicans at Saturday night rallies and noted the rousing reception that the Florida governor received.
“David, as a former Republican congressman from your home state of Florida, is it premature to think that Ron DeSantis is gaining any ground on Trump?” host Phang prompted before adding, “That, maybe, the genuine damning evidence coming out of the Jan 6 committee is actually playing a role here? ”
“Not at all, Katie,” the former lawmaker replied. “I think we’re watching Ron DeSantis pass Donald Trump in real-time for the GOP nomination and I would say not because Donald Trump has done anything wrong in the eyes of Republican voters and not because of the Jan 6th committee, but just because Ron DeSantis has done everything right and continues to do that from a strategic standpoint.”
There is no real choice here — DeSantis, Trump – – both are fascists who will destroy our Constitutional republic and turn us over to white supremacists and corporations.
The big donors are leaving Trump for DeSantis, so, Trump is keeping his alleged Presidential run alive to milk the MAGAt crowd for every last penny they have.
