Starting out Ron DeSantis was Trump’s strongest opponent – Trump punched him, punched him again, DeSantis tumbled in polls.

DeSantis’ Super PAC did an ad saying: Trump’s mean. But who doesn’t know Trump’s got a mean streak?

Telling people what they already knew didn’t work.

Then the unexpected happened: Hamas slaughtered Israelis; Trump, fuming over an old grievance growled at Netanyahu, called Hezbollah ‘very smart.’

DeSantis punched Trump, stood behind Israel, looked stronger than Trump. About facing, Trump covered his tracks.

The unexpected happened, changed politics – and handed DeSantis a gift.
