I do wonder how many of DeSantis' billionaire donors will continue to donate to him after the primary, should he become the nominee, and whether they'd actually vote for him instead of the Democratic nominee.

Trump wouldn't do it if the situation were reversed.

You don't know that and neither do I. But it's ok because the left will be going after DeSantis if he wins the primary. They already started with their little Nazis at Disney performance. They will unleash hell on him and he can stand alone then.

Do you think these corps may want a favor ?

Being you claim to know so much, how about posting where the dems get their donor money?

DeSantis should have worked with Trump and sought to be his VP running mate. That would be a winning ticket. For whatever reason he has chosen to run against him, and I am skeptical of who he aligns with in the republican party and where his loyalties will lie if he is elected.

That is the saddest part. Other countries elect their folks with a lot less.

'nuff said!

Ok - but I listen to FIX-it news, even though they are hard right. I want to see what others see, even if disagree. I want to understand why folks follow certain politicians. Possibly between all, can find some truth.

But you missed the part of factual… from your link:

Overall, we rate CBS News Left-Center biased based on story selection that moderately favors the left and High for factual reporting due to proper sourcing.

Many corps give money to both. At least the big ones do.

Remember Harris ripped in the Biden many occasion on the debate and yet who's the VP?

Yes, I do. If DeSantis was insulting Trump he absolutely would not be a big enough person to show support for the good of the country despite it. I can't prove it, but I'd bet the house on it. It's not just the left going after DeSantis for going after private business, btw. Culture warriors are happy but actual R conservatives recognize that government punishing private business for its speech is not real republicanism. It's not any kind of Republicanism.

I don't think DeSantis can win with this many contenders in the race. Trump will have his 35% and you have maybe a dozen others who will all split the other 65%.
