| − | :Let me give me personal sentiments on DeSantis - I love the guy. But the attacks on Trump, or contrasts with Trump, anger me. Now I'm not one to let emotion get in the way of my personal political assessments. And my personal assessments differ widely from typical voters: I do it on two levels: (1) an overall assessment as to what is best for the country and the planet, and (2) what is my own personal reaction, biases, prejudices, and what's best for me (IOWs, what's best for me may be in conflict with what's best for the country and planet, and I don't pretend that my personal interests are in line with or in sync with the overall best interests of everybody else). | + | :Let me give my personal sentiments on DeSantis - I love the guy.

| − | :So, at an emotional level, I can only react with anger when I see Trump and DeSantis name in the same sentence. Now I'm not like everybody else, GOP voters, Dems, or ordinary citizens of planet earth. I somewhat believe that I can attempt to remove my emotional biases and prejudices when making rational judgements - but I have little to no confidence that my fellow citizens of the country or planet earth even attempt to do so or think about such things (yes, there are a handful of sane people remaining on planet earth, but I've probably personally met maybe a half dozen in the past 10 years or so). | + | :So, at an emotional level, I can only react with anger when I see Trump and DeSantis name in the same sentence.

| − | :So I get angry. So what? I can overcome come it. I have no confidence most other Trump backers, who are in excess of 60% of the GOP nationwide, will even attempt to do it. They'll just see it as more deep state manipulation whether Trump becomes the nominee or not. And they are probably right.
