Ron DeSantis has been accused of making his “worst strategic move” of the race for the Republican nomination so far, getting into a scrap with a conservative women’s group by scheduling an event in New Hampshire on the same day as their annual fundraiser.
“It’s just stupid, actually. You don’t take on the New Hampshire Federation of Republican Women,” said GOP strategist Mike Dennehy of the Florida Governor’s move to counter-programme the “Lilac Luncheon,” which is being headlined by his opponent former president Donald J. Trump.
The GOP women’s group put out a statement chastising DeSantis: “[I]t has always been a New Hampshire hallmark to be considerate when scheduling events,” they complained. “To have a candidate come in and distract from the most special event [the women’s group] holds in the year is unprecedented.”
“If there’s one thing you don’t do in New Hampshire, it’s piss off the grassroots women,” commented a source described as an adviser to one of DeSantis’s rivals. “Don’t mess with them, they remember everything. Rookie move.”
Dennehy, a former staffer on the Rick Perry presidential campaign in 2016, also warned “it could be death by a thousand cuts” for DeSantis if he continues making unforced errors.

More Trump cult nonsense
Where’s Casey? A change of plans that’s also humorous might be a good idea...
Dismissive, check, prompt, check, Trump-hating, check...Trump-supporter-insulting, check...
That’s performance. Bravo.
Looks like DeSantis nonsense....
To hell with these political groups. It is organized groups like this that is causing a lot of our problems.
More DeGlobalist Ron tone deaf moves.
Who is running his campaign? Karl Rove?
No worse than this Trump nonsense. I am a loyal conservative voter. Trump is no conservative.
Politically tone deaf.
That it rich coming from a DeSantus fluffer.
Very few politicians in American history so quickly scuttled a promising political career as quickly as DeSantis has done. This man was a sterling governor in a state that was prospering under his leadership. If he had the wisdom to simply obey Ronald Reagan’s 11th commandment ( Never speak ill of a fellow Republican), and tolerated Trump’s eccentrics, he would have been the VP candidate in 2024 and likely President in 2028. Instead he took the bad advice of Karl Rove, the Bushes and some clown donors. Now he will never go beyond Florida.
He may not win re-election as FLA gov next time.
Take time to read and compare with any other president this country has had...

The Conservative Women’s Group in NH thinks Trump is fine.
The Meatball must be going for the RINO Anti-Trump women in NH.
Another terrible optic by the Meatball.
Neither was Bush,McCain or Romney that you were forced to vote for as Presidential timber before Trump...
How’s that R team Swamp working out for ya?
This is a garbage issue of no concern to Americans who are being hurt and needlessly divided by the Biden regime. America is going down the toilet and state Republicans are obsessed with hurt feelings?
You still stealing the DNC line of calling us cultists? It can’t have anything to do with him being the best President since Reagan.
It was a stupid move by Ron.
“More Trump cult nonsense”
Trump’s cult didn’t bring us to the verge of World War 3, but most of his opponents have.
Read the article. It has nothing to do with Trump. The New Hampshire GOP ladies want to hear from all candidates including DeSantis. All they are asking him to do is change the date so they can be available to hear him.
