re: With the Republic in Peril, DeSantis’ Response to Potential Trump arrest falls flat

For certain, the GOPe cronies that appear to be backing DeSantis are in lock step with the Demoncrats on targeting Trump. It's not much of a leap to see it would benefit DeSantis long term whether he is supportive of it or not. He arguably stands to benefit more than anyone if Trump were out of the picture. Seems to me his best play would be to at least pay lip service to backing Trump whether he cares or not. This is playing right into the hands of the Dems for 2024. Trump will get more fervent support than ever from loyalists and may get sympathy from some who don't even like him much, but DeSantis has to understand he's heading down the same path previous R's have. When he's the only one left, they will come for him too. Hope his closet is empty and his underwear is clean, because it WILL happen. Enemy of your enemy is NEVER your friend.
