of something I disagree with DeSantis on, but coming up empty Here's a thread specifically to that point (10 posts)......at the national level, RDS is the tip of the GOPe/Globalist anti-MAGA spear. He is doing a great job as GOV in FL, but he will be (already is) owned at the National level.... twitter.com The Establishment GOP wants Trump out of the picture so that it can reassert exclusive authority over a party that's designed to exist as nothing more than controlled opposition. Ron DeSantis is being used as the vessel for these actors to accomplish this goal. pic.twitter.com/iazTYVbrbl — Olivia Ingrassia (@OliviaIngrassia) February 14, 2023 The GOPe wised up: they can't trot out an Obviously Unelectable Nikki Haley or Jeb! against Trump. They must be subtler: Ron's overtures to MAGA & past alignment with Trump (the man who made his career) make it plausible that he's the "heir" to Trumpism. Ron's the olive branch. pic.twitter.com/zQswwWRPcJ — Olivia Ingrassia (@OliviaIngrassia) February 14, 2023 But Ron's really just another politician, whose Congressional record exemplifies a pre-Trump dutiful GOP partisan. He was no Firebrand like Matt Gaetz. Some say he's improved, maybe so. Regardless: they see him as someone they can work with. He's an insider, an institutionalist. pic.twitter.com/F9RwqDetlm — Olivia Ingrassia (@OliviaIngrassia) February 14, 2023 Would Ron negotiate with China and Russia, rather than allow permanent DC to bring us to the brink of WWIII? Would Ron get Tough on NATO? Call out this own party on the Iraq War? Help foster Peace in the Middle East? Here's his record, you decide:https://t.co/ylWIi9wN13 — Olivia Ingrassia (@OliviaIngrassia) February 14, 2023 Instead, he's flirting with the very actors who seek to quell the MAGA Momentum once and for all. He'll be doing their dirty work under the guise of MAGA. Club for Growth: anti-Trump, anti-JD Vance, but pro-Ron? That's not Ron is it? pic.twitter.com/DZMsY7RNGn — Olivia Ingrassia (@OliviaIngrassia) February 14, 2023 The Base knows: It's Trump's moment, and he has unfinished business to take care of. Why run against the once-in-a-generation figure? The Movement Leader? If you're truly on his side, why get in the way? pic.twitter.com/Fwjem8Cj5X — Olivia Ingrassia (@OliviaIngrassia) February 14, 2023
