Necessarily, the closer he moves toward Tumpy, the further he moves from me.

He'd do better to dance with the ones that brung him.

Agree DeSantis isn't afraid of Trump @libertybele  With time he may have gotten away with turning the tables on Trump's age and becoming "unhinged" --- which he did.  Where DeSantis was less than "wise" and pretty damn stupid is he also went after Trump's supporters.  These are the people Ron's afraid of ---- their memories are long and in 2028, Ron will be one of many and most will not have been unemployed for two years.

Ron needs to get right with the millions of "listless vessels" he lost in 2024.  Like it or not, his national viability depends on it.  Ron's also taken quite a bit of heat for being the former candidate not actively campaigning for Trump.  His tepid endorsement just isn't good enough to rebuild for 2028.

Many of Ron's mega donors want a Trump victory in November.  They set this meeting in motion, on behalf of Ron, to strike two birds with one meeting.  It helps Ron move beyond the passive-agressive hole he's stuck in --- and advances a unified effort to elect Trump.

So, take this message to heart:  It is time to unify behind Trump for victory against Biden. Hopefully, DeSantis will, too.

If your message was to unify behind Trump because he's a conservative I would without hesitation. I voted for him in '16 and '20. He lost my vote long ago for '24. In a nutshell, he has stepped on conservative toes including mine, one too many times. 

ABC's George Stephanopoulos says 2024 race can't be treated normally after Biden urges press to alter coverage
President Biden called on the press to 'rise up to the seriousness of the moment' on Saturday

One day after President Biden implored the media to not treat the 2024 election like business as usual, ABC's George Stephanopoulos sternly told his audience on Sunday's "This Week" that this year was abnormal and a "test" for the media and the country.

In contrast with the show's usual style, Stephanopoulos began the program with remarks on former President Trump's legal troubles and how the 2024 election was testing the tenets of democracy. This followed Biden calling on members of the press to focus less on horse race politics and "rise up to the seriousness of the moment," in a sober conclusion to his speech at the White House correspondents' dinner on Saturday.

"Until now, no American president had ever faced a criminal trial," Stephanopoulos said. "No American president had ever faced a criminal indictment for retaining and concealing classified documents. No American president had ever faced a federal indictment or a state indictment for trying to overturn an election, or been named an unindicted co-conspirator in two other states for the same crime. No American president has faced hundreds of millions of dollars in fines for business fraud, defamation, and sexual abuse," Stephanopoulos began.

Stephanopoulos argued this election was not normal, and that it was easy for everyone to treat it as an ordinary race for the presidency when the "scale of the abnormality is so staggering."
