What motivates DeSantis to run against Trump?

[Freewill]

I think Desantis is just getting his name out there.

Maybe he is shooting for VP alone with the other contenders. No one, right now, is going to beat Trump in the primaries. It will help nothing for the Republicans to get into a pissing contest. So I look for civil debates, except for Trump, who can't seem to control himself.

I don't see him ever being Trumps VP with the attacks I have seen on both sides and it's only going to get worse. According to the ads Desantis wants to tax the shit out of us plus raise retirement age and Trump wants to take away our guns.

In my opinion this will end DeSantis. He will not be President in 2025 nor in 2029.

i give the guy credit. he is a local man who did good. smart. great education. military experience. not afraid to speak his mind. successful and well loved governor. sense of humor. 45 years old is old enough to be president.

DeSantis will be fine, win or lose…his heals are dug-in. The Kanumdram for him was the decision to run against Trump…. This may be a mistake, only time will tell.

I agree. But you have to admit it is bizarre that he decides to go against someone like Trump with a great record as POTUS and ferocious campaigner against his adversaries. Especially after it was Trumps endorsement that got him the votes needed to beat Gillum. Really strange.

It is....and I believe DC Establishment Repubs were pushing him to run as a TRump alternative

Why is he running? After all he asked Trump to endorse his candidacy for Governor. He wanted Trump's support. And now he opposes him?

Trump had a purpose for seeking the High Chair. It was for the good of America. To clean up the crap in our filthy and corrupt government. Does DeSantis have a purpose? A noble one? Oh, he has a slogan. To take America back. Back to what? Bush? Clinton? What?

I would like to read what folks think is behind the DeSantis candidacy. What is it, or who is it? Thanks, folks.

If you are like me I smell something rotten about this. Real rank stink.

Powerlust. There that's answered.
