Martell Spy Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Opinion: DeSantis is backing down from a fight with Trump https://www.cnn.com/2023/01/29/opinions/trump-ron-desantis-rocky-iii-obeidallah/index.html Quote But barring prosecution of the former President, if DeSantis wants to win in 2024, he can’t keep ducking Trump’s barbs. DeSantis should remember that even though in “Rocky III” the iconic fighter lost his title early in the film to the menacing and cruel Clubber Lang, the “Italian Stallion” prevailed in the end. But to prevail, you have to put up a fight. There could come a time when GOP voters view DeSantis’ refusal to defend himself and punch back as a sign of weakness. The longer he is silent in the face of Trump’s barrage of punches, the more likely people will ask themselves, as Rocky’s nemesis did: If he ain’t no coward, why won’t he fight?

I've stopped more than dipping into the browns, I think the tannins increase my hangover. Still over doing the reds, even though I proved conclusively during the BWB zoom happy hours back when, for my standards of proof at least, that I could drink the majority of a handle of decent gin without a lot hangover. Though there was a straight line from that day to Chats and Race walking me back to my hotel instead of letting wander off into the desert to my death, so who can say for sure?

Desantis is in his 40s while even if trump gets to set up a dictatorship Desantis would probably just have to wait at most 10 maybe steching it 15 years before trump retires Secretary of Eumenes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
