MEDIA WILL DEMONIZE WHOEVER THE GOP NOMINEE IS

ROB: Do you think that that, that there's a belief in, in, in the press that, that DeSantis would be a stronger candidate? Do you think they're going to attack him harder?

MARK: I think they're attacking him harder because he's not as friendly to them. I, I don't know. I don't know if reporters genuinely think he'd be harder to beat. Probably some do, and there's some arguments to think that that might be the case, but I don't think that's why they're going after him so hard. They're going after him so hard because he's a big, fat, juicy target for them, and he makes it easier for them by his actions to go after 'em. I'm not saying he should trim his sail to cater to the press, but again, I think any Republican who wants to get good press, even if they're conservative, there are ways to do it. And we've seen past examples of that.

BRUCE: I wish he would've just, you know, appeared to his oath and took that four years and stayed the governor for four more years and not try to go in there and, uh, circumvent a law that was passed four years ago so he could run with his super majority house, you know, and stick his foot out here. And you know, this is not gonna play well, Rob, and I'm telling you right now, he's gonna, he's not gonna pull above 20% and this is just the beginning. You think the MSNBC news is going to pop you upside his head? Rob, you ain't seen nothing yet, man, stay tuned. I'm sorry it's going to end like this.
