Looming before them was the threat from Florida: Governor Ron DeSantis. He was beating Trump in the presidential polls without even announcing. He’d scored victory after victory against Democrats and won his reelection bid — in a purple state! — by twenty points, despite attacks from Trump.
Against DeSantis’s smarts and energy, the Democrats would be running President Senile Dementia and a vice president whose sole credentials are that she is black and a woman.
They had only one hope: get Trump the nomination. Liberals: HE’S A DANGER TO THE NATION! NEVER HAVE WE FACED SUCH PERIL! Now let’s do everything we can to make sure he gets the nomination.
And that’s why Democrats indicted Trump on absurd charges this week, with the media covering the event like it was the capture of Osama bin Laden. Today, the party mandarins are sitting around laughing as Republicans trip over themselves to defend Trump.
[I think it’s possible, as I have written before, to criticize this blatantly politicized prosecution and corrupt prosecutor without lionizing Trump. But the distraction potential is real enough. — Ed]
