Your theory holds no water.
First, DeSantis fixed Florida election laws, created election police and trotted out those who broke election laws very publicly.
Second, Florida had over 99% of its vote counted by midnight on Tuesday.
DeSantis led on covid, unlike Abbott who needs polls before he does anything or Trump who became a deer in the headlights throughout the pandemic, never firing Fauci.
DeSantis campaigned hard inside Florida to expand his GOP majority and he succeeded.
DeSantis sent 48 illegals to Martha's Vineyard and put the national spotlight on the Democrats' hypocrisy.
When hurricane Ian was about to hit, DeSantis warned looters that Florida is a right to carry state. A great example of DeSantis showing strength and trolling the left.
You complain about the "uniparty" but Trump endorsed McCarthy as speaker.
You complain about the "uniparty" while Trump endorses candidates with no conservative credentials, like Dr Azz
You complain about the "uniparty" while the GOP put more money into Trump candidates than Trump put into Trump endorsed candidates.....despite Trump fundraising more money than the GOP.
Trump is in charge of the party. This was his election. He got his candidates on the ballot. Then he hung them out to dry with no strategy, no message, no financial support.
The reason why so many lost is because they were being smeared right after their primary wins by the left and did not respond. Everyone was thinking that campaigns do not start until after Labor Day forget that early voting by mail happens earlier. By the time Trump's candidates started campaigning, hundreds of thousands of votes were cast against them.
Trump did not learn the lesson of 2020.
Damn. I wish Trump was as smart as you. Have you sent him your resume yet?
