Republican donors hoping for evil little Florida Gov Ron DeSantis to knock off the Orange God Emperor are increasingly nervous about how Ron will be able to withstand the attacks, especially after a weak comeback to the “groomer” allegation last week, the New York Times reports.
“No Republican has ever emerged from an exchange with Donald Trump looking stronger, so the natural tendency is to deflect his attacks and avoid confrontation,” said GOP strategist Liam Donovan, adding “That’s easy to do, and maybe even wise when his barbs are confined to Truth Social. The question is what happens when DeSantis finds himself on a debate stage opposite Trump, and GOP voters want to see whether they are getting what they were promised.”
