I’m from central FL, and DeSantis has been the best governor I have seen in the 45 years since I moved down here.
OTOH, as I have said before, DeSantis wanted to run for President in the worst possible way, and he has succeeded.
The one good news about this is that if his campaign goes 100% kerfluey in the next few weeks and he suspends, it shouldn’t hurt him too much going forward. Nixon stepped in it in ‘62 and still got elected six years later, ditto Grover Cleveland way back when. The longer he stays in the race, the worse his future will be, but I don’t think he’ll make it past NH, certainly past SC.
He’s a backstabbing rat....Never support a backstabber.
