There ARE differences….
Remember…..
Donald Trump is a businessman at heart….
Ron DeSantis is a politician ……
The Florida Republican Governor has choosen to go HARD Right in his policy, while the ex-President never had much of a strick policy view at all as a businessman seeking favor , but embraced the Republican crazies , who still have his back….
The differences between former President Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) are coming into sharper focus as the two emerge as potential rivals in the 2024 presidential contest.
Trump’s endorsement helped propel DeSantis through the GOP primary in the 2018 Florida governor’s race. But as both men position themselves for a White House run, long-simmering differences on vaccines, pandemic responses and other issues are bubbling to the surface.
Some of DeSantis’s policy positions are in direct conflict with Trump’s. That sets up a contrast for the Florida governor to highlight should he run against Trump for the 2024 nomination.
“We’ll continue to see this cold war get hotter and hotter, and the only thing to watch is when DeSantis starts to openly criticize or respond to Trump,” said Sam Nunberg, a GOP strategist who advised Trump’s 2016 campaign. “He doesn’t have to while he’s governor, but eventually he will as a candidate.”….
Note….
DeSantis may inadvertently cancel any chance to actually win a run for President as the Republican nominee by his hard right politics , which have little support in the American ‘middle’ that decides elections….
