Since Wannabe Mussolini seems to think that the U.S. can't handle both domestic and foreign issues simultaneously, what will he do when a 5,000 mile seaweed blossom hits the Florida coast?

He will have to choose between pleading with the evil federal government for bailout money or continue to push for illegal and immoral legislation at the Florida statehouse.

History: New Coke was a ruse. If it succeeded, fine. If it did not, bring out Classic Coke. Either way, Coke switched to the cheaper high fructose corn syrup away from cane sugar. Win/win. Don’t see how this quite fits the political metaphor....

They are both fundamentally bad human beings with autocratic beliefs, and they would both be disasters for democracy in this country. If either one gets elected, this country is in deep, deep trouble...........and it would be our own fault for putting them in power.

If there is no lane in the GOP primary for a normal Republican that isn't as Trumpy as Trump, which many smart folks argue, then what other play does Desanctimonious have but to say "I'm more winnable"? As Everett said when the barn caught fire, "We're in a tight spot."

Honestly super scary that they prefer agreement over some modicum of electability. But also 👍 you go on with your pyrrhic selves, how would that work for you any better than 2018, 2020, 2022? holy moly

Well, maybe he should just bide his time, and let the DA’s in NY and Georgia do some heavy lifting for him?

I feel like a better comp would be “would you rather see michael Jackson or a Michael Jackson cover band?” For some people it’s an easy question, and some people might jump at the chance to hear the same music without supporting a weirdo.

I am having difficulty seeing how DeSantis can differentiate himself enough that the voters flock to him. Either one of them is scary indeed and the country will be in a very dangerous spot. Unless Trump appears to be losing, he will stay in the race and DeSantis will be smushed like a bug by Trump.
