Republicans sure do love making loyalty pledges to Trump!

Loyalty to Trump, not loyalty to the Constitution.

A fight of his own making, in an arena of his choosing, in the party of which he is putative head, and DeSantis gets handed a humiliating defeat? Guess their hearts belong to Donnie, not Ronnie.

"The Florida Republican Party will no longer require candidates to sign a loyalty pledge to qualify for the party's 2024 primary ballot, seen as a major win for former President Trump."

That is copied from "Yhe Hill"

1. How is that considered a win foe Trump?

Florida isn't a -------- state. South Florida, below the I-4 corridor is quite nice, liquid sunshine and all.

North Florida, specifically around the capitol building in Tallahassee, meh, most of us just hold our noses and keep voting Democrat.

He doesn't want the oath, DeSantis did, ergo Trump wins.
