Someone told me that bullies cry hardest when they're hit and that's what the DeSantis folks are doing. DeSantis has made his entire political career punching down against minorities, most of the time LGBT kids. Like a lot of bullies, he and his fans think that's granted them some immunity against that kind of behavior, and well, live by the sword die by the sword.

DeSantis, his administration, and his online followers have spent the past few years punching down mostly at people who can't punch back. Trump can punch back, and he's demonstrated he will. Assuming that DeSantis survives the Republican primary (and I don't think he will), he's gonna be a pretty damaged candidate for the general election.

He's not gonna favorably contrast against Biden either, whose entire political career is premised on being the least likely guy to bully you in the room.

Let’s see if some of the former students start talking. Could get really ugly.

I used to think that about Romney too, but I guess Santos was just too far over Mitt's red line.
