He could call him out on being a grifter, point out how Trump was a dem his entire life, supported both Clintons, play the "Republicans have the dumbest voters" sound byte. A competent fascist could turn the hogs on Trump at any time.
That quote was made up. I don't think the former dem angle is inherently effective. If anything,I think it actually helps him because they can point to that whenever someone argues that he's too extreme or associate him with white nationalism.
People have been calling out Trump for being a grifter his entire career. The base is still rabidly pro-Trump, the republican establishment will let him run if he wants to. There is nothing from the past that hasn’t been covered that will turn them against Trump, they’ve heard it all and don’t care.
I don't think it matters what DeSantis does as much as what capital wants. The Republicans could absolutely rig their primary if they please. What are the maga folk gonna do? January 6 part 2? Strike? They currently believe Biden is an illegitimate president and there have been exactly zero assassination attempts.
Trump eats career politicians for breakfast in primaries, if he wants it it’s his.
Anybody can be ratfucked in a primary if the party establishment decides so, it should be clear by now that these are only democratic processes as long as it doesn't upset the ghouls. The question isn't if Trump can still count on his mass appeal (he ofc absolutely can), the question is if the donor class wants to let him near power again in spite of having proven how erratic he is. This isn't 2016 anymore, the world has gone through so much shit in the last 6 years, his instability definitely makes him a lot less palatable to capital than back during his first run.

Lying has had no consequences for the last few years.
Can a grifter get away with calling out another grifter?
