DeSantis doesn’t actually need to say “Trump lost” or that he’s a loser. He just needs to hint that Trump can’t oust Joe Biden.

If team DeSantis had any sense, they would say “Look, you can think whatever you want about 2020, but only one io two things are possible. Either DJT, as a sitting US President, allowed Joe Biden to steal the election or he lost. If he couldn’t stop him from stealing the election when he was president, how’s he going to stop him from stealing it now that he’s not president?”

Don’t necessarily say that Trump lost, just imply that if he didn’t, then he was too weak to stop Joe Biden from stealing it. If the R base won’t let DeSantis even hint at the idea that Trump made a mistake, then this primary is a total joke and waste of time.

That said, DeSantis has the charisma and charm of a cowbell in a wind tunnel. Trumps probably just going to eat him alive anyway.

Of all the things I hate about De Santis - there are probably too many to count - it's his cruelty that makes me lose my mind. Why is his extreme cruelty - to kidnapped immigrants, people who are trans or gay, school teachers - OK with the American public? To me, as with Trump, cruelty is a major disqualifer. Are we really down to choosing the guy (sic) who can be the biggest bully? And "Christian" nationalists are good with this?
