Why would DeSantis tick off half the Republican party with these comments?
What kind of moronic advisors does he have?
He's trying to paint himself as "the respectable conservative." As the responsible, non-crazy, non-extremist conservative.
Republicans have been playing that game for decades. It's their way of courting the media. "See, I'm not an extremist, like those other conservatives. I'm willing to compromise. Now please reciprocate and write nice things about me."
Bush and Dole tried to position themselves as "respectable" conservatives in contrast to Buchanan. Didn't matter. The media still tore into Bush and Dole in November.

And how blind and tone deaf does Rob have to be to listen to moronic advisors??
