DeSantis debunks he is an establishment crony:

"How many establishment Republicans would have sent illegal aliens to Martha's Vineyard? How many establishment Republicans would have stood up against Disney? How many establishment Republicans would have signed the bill that I just signed to ban land purchases from people affiliated with the CCP in the state of Florida? We're now being sued by the ACLU for that. How many establishment Republicans would have leaned in to support our children against the pronoun Olympics ... How many establishment Republicans would have banned gender transition surgeries for minors?"

Doesn't get in the sewer with Trump but smacks Trump hard over Trumps slandering DeSantis

Ron DeSantis hits back at Trump's attacks: "He's attacking me from the left, and that really wasn't the Donald Trump from 2015 and 2016 ... I get he wants to hit me, but don't take the side of a multinational corporation that wants to sexualize kids."

And explains why he (DeSantis) is a better candidate than Trump

"You want to have somebody who can draw people in who may not have traditionally been Republicans and are willing to give us a shot ... I do believe that there's a limit to the number of voters that would consider the former president at this point ... there are some people that don't like Biden, but they would like another option. So, I think my ceiling is higher in a general election."

So far Trump has thrown mud and actually lied about DeSantis, while DeSantis has responded with factual hits on Trump.
DeSantis is not "little Marco", Trump is going to get demolished if he doesn't update his playbook.
