DeSantis sharpens criticism of Trump, dismisses mocking nicknames
Source: Washington Post
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) made his sharpest criticism yet of former president Donald Trump, indirectly rebuking the leadership style of his possible rival for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination and styling himself as a winner.
When DeSantis was asked by television host Piers Morgan in a recent interview how he is different from Trump, the governor said that he took an alternative approach to managing the coronavirus pandemic and would have fired Anthony Fauci, who advised Trump as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
DeSantis also appeared to portray himself as a more disciplined executive than Trump, whose term in the White House was marked by frequent changes of key personnel. I get personnel in the government who have the agenda of the people and share our agenda. You bring your own agenda in, youre gone So, the way we run the government, I think, is no daily drama, focus on the big picture, he said.
The interview will air Thursday on Fox Nations Piers Morgan Uncensored, but Morgan shared some highlights in a column for the New York Post.

"I'm a lying sleazeball like him but I can win!" Big difference, if only in his mind.

I use the word "hysterics" advisedly, because though it is not suitable in ordinary discourse on DU because it is misogynistic, it is appropriate because of precisely that; the feminine aspect is antithetical to manly magats and even to their women who are so manly cruel!

Answer
when corporate media decided science sa,e as fiction
has to be, only two parties! One goes away
no more massive TV and media ad buying!
Its only self interest to equate fascism with democracy, fact with fiction!
Somehow the most fantastical voters have been convinced thats best way to think, fiction makes better policy!???

He was for the vaccine before he decided it was more politically expedient for him to be against it.
