Ron DeSantis’ wife is going to play a very prominent role in his presidential campaign. Some of his supporters wonder if that’s an entirely good thing.

And it’s not just opponents and others with axes to grind who think this. “She is both his biggest asset and his biggest liability. And I say biggest asset in that I think she does make him warmer, softer,” Dan Eberhart, a DeSantis donor and supporter, told me. “But he needs to be surrounded with professional people, not just her,” he said.
“I’ve heard from staffers frustrated that they think the governor’s made a decision, he talks to her, comes back, the decision is the opposite or different,” he said.
“The sad part is I think she’s very smart. I think she’s very talented,” Eberhart said. “But she also needs to realize if they want to play on this stage, they need serious help. I worry that winning the gubernatorial race, winning the reelect, has made her overconfident in her ability to de facto run a presidential campaign.” He suggested she needed to “take a more traditional role.” Meaning? “Active and visible — but not the principal’s wife and the architect.”

A disgusting hit piece on Casey DeSantis, who my family and I know well and is a dear friend. Media lowlifes just cannot control themselves. Michelle Obama, Jill Biden treated like saints. I’ll address this on radio this evening.
They pulled the same crap on Nancy Reagan, by the way. The media hate smart, strong, professional Republican women who are also loving mothers and wives, and who support their husbands.— Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) May 19, 2023
------------------------------
I don't know her, but didn't see the article as a "hit" peice as much as a "behind the scenes look" at both her and Ron.
They describe her exactly as I see her, and the same for Ron. She is powerful, ambitious, and seemingly in control of Ron.
Her "Jaqueline Kennedy" dress and appearance seems to reveal her own character amd her desire to be the "queen". The article mentions the "vindictive" nature of them both. I have heard this mentioned many times by those who were around him in congress. She and Ron seem to be a good "act", but a shallow act. I do not trust them and agree that she is overshaddowing Ron at times and in the door to door campaign it helped, but it will unravel him in a far different presidentiL campaign, an experience he has not yet begun to encounter. Ambition is a two edged sword. It drives us, but it also corrupts us. It can be controlled by some, but few. — Rex (@RexRichard) May 19, 2023
No one ever used the names Jackie Kennedy and Jill Biden in the same sentence, that’s for sure.
“... smart, strong, professional ... women”
A woman can be all of those things but describing a woman with only those adjectives is not a wholehearted complement.
She looks like she’s made of rubber. A good choice for her robot husband.
I assume this is a hit piece. DeSantis isn’t going to allow his wife to become like Hillary Clinton.
I’d hit it.
Thanks for posting this Politico hit piece on Mrs. DeSantis.
I used to think you were an only Trumper. But the more you dig deep into the leftist garbage can to find dirt on DeSantis, the more I realize your reverse psychology schtick.
Keep up the good work. Try and find some nasty business on the DeSantis children next.
The more you post this low life trash, the more people will be turned off of Trump and will support Ron.
Of course it’s a hit piece. Orchestrated by Donald Trump and his supporters.
Remember the viscous and personal attacks Trump and only Trumpers had against Heidi Cruz? Fast forward to Casey DeSantis.
I really hope she is healthy enough to go thru all of this. I pray for her and her young family.
She sounds like a great partner. I like. her.
That's good to hear. But do you think a woman can lead a country that is the size of the U.S.? Only a few have been able to do that. Margaret Thatcher was one of them. That's why she was known as the "Iron Lady". But she was an extraordinary leader.
You have been lying all evening. Trump and his supporters are not Politico friendly and you know it.
If Ron wants to run, this is the kind of thing he will have to live with.
They picked on Melania too, so meatball and his co-meatball better get used to it.
Talk about a hatchet job. Hyperbole much?
I don’t think anybody really knows what goes on between them.
I would be really surprised if she pushes him to become president what with raising children and fighting cancer.
And of course, Trump isn’t behind this.
I see what you did there.
Only Trumps only serve to drive hearts and minds AWAY from Trump.
Have you noticed all the hit pieces they post are from Politico, CNN, and other leftist sites?
George Bush Jr. came to rely heavily on his wife and Condoleezza Rice.
