Both men know that their base won’t like it if they attack the other, especially right now when the Republican Party is poised to win big in 2022. So they need to hold their fire. They are smart enough to know this and have people around them smart enough to remind them of this.

I still suspect that the future of the Republican Party is more DeSantis than Trump. I think Trump was a “fire on everybody” type of personality and DeSantis likes to concentrate on tactical and targeted sniping. Where Trump fights all the battles, DeSantis picks strategic ones. As a result, I get the feeling that, come 2024, more Republican voters will like what he’s offering more. //

Neither man is going after the other right now, though. They aren’t even mentioning each other. But the media and the Democrats so want there to be Republicans in-fighting that they are willing to make something out of nothing and use it to distract from the fact that the Democratic Party is on the verge of collapse.
