DeSantis keeps scoring conservative wins, to the dismay of ...

OnlyTrumpers keep insisting that this is all a Long Con and that the moment DeSantis gets the nomination, he’ll “betray” us. This makes no sense. If you’ve spent five years building up your Italian restaurant into a huge success and finally secure financing to turn it into a national chain, you don’t suddenly take that money and open a string of hot-dog restaurants. No, you do what made you successful, and what you’ve built your brand on.

Why would a successful politician throw away that which has made him a success, just to “betray” Republican voters?

This is what the kids call “a cope.” It’s fairy tale people tell themselves to cope with the truth that DeSantis is the real deal, and even if you prefer Trump — fine, but please stop with the conspiratorial nonsense about a “Long Con.” DeSantis’ record is exemplary, and one tires of lie after lie about it. He at least has earned enough respect to be treated as a Worthy Adversary, and not constantly smeared as a very strange kind of long-form conman who just wants the nomination so that he can “betray” conservatives. …

Name one politician who offered this much actual legislative and executive power action — acts, not words — and then “betrayed” people by then suddenly reversing himself and doing the exact opposite when elevated to a new office.

[This is a long and worthy rant from Ace, so read it all. I don’t want to excerpt any more, in part from fair use considerations but also because readers should check it out for themselves. It’s fine to prefer Trump to DeSantis and vice versa. Just don’t gaslight people as to why you have made that choice. — Ed]
