Recursion

I loathe DeSantis, but [View all]

But.

But, his completely ignoring all of Trump's frantic attacks over the past 4 days has been possibly the most brutal political assassination I've ever seen in my life. His spox actually said "who?" when asked about Trump. Ice cold and brutal.

I will work fervently to keep DeSantis out of national office, but I really believe he has finally done what Republicans and Democrats before him failed to do, and killed Trump's political career.
