President of the united states, and we are going to make our country great again. so you know, friendly faces, cheering crowds, none of that s going to happen tonight, robert. the implication from that campaign seems to be there s more upside, more benefit to doing it this way than the old way. do you agree? well, i would give them points for being unconventional, and i think when you re a challenger and you re trying to beat somebody who s a front runner in the sense of desantis versus trump here, you ve got to do some things that are unconventional and you ve got to shake things up. i think there s a tremendous risk in this. when dasha says to expect the unexpected, you don t go into the planning of a presidential announcement assuming there s going to be a lot of unexpected, and you saw in those three
But yes, there s a lot of legal things that can happen. the question is when do these republican candidates feel that there s a messaging opportunity available around whatever the legal troubles trump is having, you know, presented to them. you know, bingo, jen. you nailed it, when you re saying, when do republicans finally start attacking donald trump. when are they going to feel amid all of this legal chaos and his problems that there is finally an opening. and i think that s just such a show of donald trump s strength right now. i really think that it s just misguided that there s so much of a media buzz that desantis versus donald trump, when since november, he peaked after he beat charlie crist, not the strongest candidate. and he really peaked. and since then, he s just been going down. and he s closer to nikki haley and mike pence at this stage in the game. and mika, we re about to find out about 6:00 tonight if the idea of ron desantis as the
