From Sebastian Gorka, who is a Trump partisan, which is fine. The title is what caught my eye at American Greatness, The Fake Trump-Desantis War Here are some highlights The first concerns the way elections are run today
American elections have been radically restructured since 2020, yet the Republican Party thinks it can use its old playbook for a game whose rules have been completely changed. Today, elections are about ballots, not votes. If the GOP doesn’t understand this one fact, it is condemned to more and more losses until it internalizes the difference and reacts accordingly.
Lots to dig into there. The rules have changed, and we damned well better adapt or, well you know how not adapting ends.
Now, about the Trump/DeSantis feud to end all feuds. Outside of Trumps use of needless remarks at times, the media wants, so badly for Republicans to lose, and they would love a split GOP. It is best we all keep that foremost in our minds. And I hope Trump will just as I hope DeSantis will not go there so to speak. The media will try to make bitter rivalry here. We should never help them. Gorka has his thoughts.
I find it mildly amusing, as a legal immigrant, that I have to remind my fellow natural-born Americans: We don’t choose or declare a presidential nominee the week after a midterm election, two years before we can even vote for him. We have a quaint and rather fun thing called primaries. It’s a great idea. Remember 2015? We had 17 men and women debate each other, and then Republicans decided who should be their candidate. It’s a great system. And then Donald Trump beat Hillary Clinton. Ah, the memories! If Ron DeSantis wants to run, great! He’ll be running against a man who received 74 million votes—more votes than any incumbent in American history.
And as for those who say, “DeSantis is so much better than Trump!” How do you know? Yes, he is great if you’re a Floridan. But that’s one state out of 50. Do they have any idea how he’d run America’s national defense? Or our foreign policy? Would he close the border? Shipping 50 illegal aliens to Martha’s Vineyard was a cool stunt. But it doesn’t actually stop the cartels or prevent 110,000 fentanyl deaths in a year. He could be a great president—maybe. On the other hand, there is no question President Trump can do the job. Because he did it for 4 years. He crushed ISIS, revitalized the military, brought inflation down to 1.8 percent and gas to under $2 a gallon, revitalized NATO, made America energy independent, pushed unemployment to the lowest levels in generations, and oversaw a stock market boom that helped everyone’s 401k. Need I go on?
If DeSantis gets in, lets have debates between two great candidates who both will put American interests first. Personally, I would hope we could have debates hosted by Conservatives who will ask tough, meaningful questions of both men. Bypass the media if possible. I prefer De Santis, but not by much, the negative votes AGAINST Trump are a concern no doubt. Of course, the media is going to go after DeSantis if is he is the nominee. And their attacks will be just as venomous.
You can use your imagination
Trump bows out, but is DeSantis worse?
Radical DeSantis will kill puppies if elected!
Is DeSantis even worse for the environment?
Killing our Democracy! Will DeSantis finish what MAGA Trump started?
DeSantis, will he try to make Plantations Great Again?
And so on and on, and on….. Go read the whole piece!

Hmmmm, that sounds familiar
I think he would be fine at both, better than most politicians. Yes that bar is not too high I know.
