Don v Ron: It's ON! DeSantis finally breaks his silence to take a shot at Trump by telling him to 'check out the scoreboard from Tuesday night' - hours before ex-President's big announcement at Mar-a-Lago

    Florida Governor DeSantis called out 'the corporate media' when asked about Donald Trump's recent spate of criticism against him
    But it appeared that DeSantis was taking a veiled jab at Trump while suggesting he was unfazed by the former president's attacks
    Republicans swept Florida in the midterm elections but did poorly elsewhere
    'At the end of the day, I would just tell people to check out the scoreboard from last Tuesday night,' DeSantis said on Tuesday
    Trump is expected to be announcing he's running for president again on Tuesday

Republican Florida Governor Ron DeSantis dismissed Donald Trump's recent spate of angry attacks against him as 'noise' and touted his own strong election record in the 2022 midterms during a press conference on Tuesday.

DeSantis fired back at the former president hours before Trump is expected to announce another campaign for the White House at his Mar-a-Lago estate on Tuesday night.

It's the latest hit in the two GOP giants' Sunshine State turf war, and a larger fight for control of the Republican Party.

Darn it!  I was hoping that Ron would just ignore Trump. This spat is not going to end well for the GOP. The last thing the party needs is more division.

This also leads me to believe that Ron will be running in '24.

Well, score one for DeSantis for his stellar re-election and score one against Trump for going after him for absolutely no reason other than a bruised ego.

Read it closely. Sounds like he was hacking on the media.

Yup.

Asked about that criticism on Tuesday, DeSantis suggested he was unfazed - but went out of his way to target 'the corporate media' more directly than the former president.

'When you're leading, when you're getting things done, yeah you take incoming fire - that's just the nature of it,' DeSantis said.

'I roll out of bed in the morning, I've got corporate media outlets just having a spasm over the fact that I'm getting up in the morning. And it's constantly attacking, and this is just what's happened.'

I argee with the view that DeSantis didn't so much respond to Trump as he did to the media.

[Free Vulcan]

This was timed for Trump's announcement to deflate it a bit.

Also says DeSantis has not closed the door to '24.

[LMAO]

Actually this is a good thing and it is what the GOP needs

Although couched in criticism of the media, the scoreboard reference most definitely was aimed at Trump.  Donald ought to be on an exotic vacation instead of running his mouth in public.  Nancy Pelosi would have kept the gavel were it not for DeSantis, who vetoed the republican-drawn congressional map and submitted one of his own.  At that point, the legislature could either surrender or refer the process to a judge.  DeSantis played hardball and won.

Be acutely aware that DeSantis doesn’t blame McConnell, Emmer, Ronna, the election cheats, or anything REALLY to do with the Mid terms underperformance.

Yeah, this whole thing reeks of the snotnoses on a playground getting the big kids to fight.

That doesn'tmean the media isn't going to turn it into a bitch-fight,or that most people who read the media reports will believe them.

Truth to tell,ignorance and the media are our biggest enemies.

With all the phony mis and disinformation the media is spreading today, I have a rule.  I believe nothing the news reports until I am satisfied it is a true fact.  It follows that I must hold back making hasty public comments that could, when the truth finally comes out, make me look like a damn fool.
