Last Remaining Koch Bro Back In The Game. Will used his ill-gained billions to stop Trump: The network of donors and activist groups led by conservative billionaire Charles Koch will…
In his recent book Thank You for Your Servitude, my colleague Mark Leibovich quoted a former Republican representative who bluntly summarized his party’s plan for dealing with Trump: “We’re just waiting for him to die.” As it turns out, this is not an uncommon sentiment. In my conversations with Republicans, I heard repeatedly that the least disruptive path to getting rid of Trump, grim as it sounds, might be to wait for his expiration.
The Loser Ex-President made campaign stops where he told reporters that DeSantis would be “disloyal” if he ran for the Republican nomination and he knocked DeSantis’ record on Covid-19. Desantis basically fired back with - Well I won my re-election, and you didn't, so the people have spoken. And also, suck it.Here's what I love. It ignores the BIG LIE and might be the first time I've heard a MAGAt say "Trump lost. Get over it." That's good for America if civilian Republicans are now allowed to follow suit and acknowledge the simple truth - Trump is a loser who lost. The second thing I love is how the smug little fucker (DeSantis) smugly just shrugged off trump as a loser and that's pressing Trump's biggest button. Trump hates being called a loser and to be called one by the a smug little twerp like DeSantis NO DOUBT landed in Mara Lago like a kick to the balls. It all adds up to Trump and DeSantis going full on berserker during this campaign, and that is great news for America.
