Ron DeSantis got crossways with Trump, running against him.

0:11.1

And it really hurt him because I think he's a good governor.

0:15.3

Now, Byron Donald's is going to run against him.

0:17.0

Barron Donald's very popular.

0:18.0

He's very popular with MAGA.

0:20.4

And he's very, very good at projecting

0:30.8

I'd like to see DeSantis continue as governor. I think he's done a good job as governor.

So Rod DeSantis ran. Okay. Well, I think he's done a good job as governor. And I don't think he would have run against Trump if he knew he was going to have to face off with Trump. I think he thought, I think his bet was, Trump won't be on the ballot, and that'll leave me.

1:34.5

And if Trump hadn't been on the ballot, we'd have rather had DeSantis than Nikki Haley.

1:39.8

Because she's awful.

1:40.8

She is absolutely awful.

1:43.1
