Ed Rollins, responsible for the early adopter ‘Ready for Ron PAC,’ has abandoned the Governor of Florida’s collapsing presidential campaign, admitting that DeSantis has been a ‘flawed candidate’ unable to focus on anything else other than the culture war in an interview with the left-wing magazine, Rolling Stone.
Rollins admitted his frustration with DeSantis’s candidacy, and explained the Florida Governor only has himself to blame: “I know some of the people around him, and some of them are good, talented people.”
“Every time he opens his mouth, he has a tendency to — shall we say — think out-loud, and he clearly doesn’t understand the game… When you get into these culture wars the way that he has, the vast majority of people don’t understand what they are,” Rollins continued.
Rollins, in his own words, has spent the last 12 months running thousands of TV ads, creating tens of millions of online connections, and mailing millions of Americans on behalf of the Governor of Florida to little avail as DeSantis continues to slide toward single-digits in the polls.
“A top-to-bottom makeover and real accountability may be the only thing that saves Ron DeSantis, but even then you still have the governor at the top… And it is getting harder and harder by the day to see not just his people as the problem, but him as the problem,” he added.
DeSantis dismissed Rollins’ comments as “nonsense” during a recent appearance on Fox. He also doubled down on his culture war-obsessed campaign, calling it “central to the lives of tens of millions of people.”

Alrighty then. You believe Biden legitimately got 81 million voters.
Also, I understand Bill Gates has a new mRNA upload ready to go. Good luck!
A Deep State operator backing a Deep State candidate, imagine that. The only reason he jumped ship is because DeSantis is imploding.
This has been really great for revealing the snakes.
[—> That’s the thing about popularity - it’s fleeting.
I suspect that’s what is driving his historical dominant poll numbers across the USA.
No, wait.]
What’s not getting any attention is the fact that Truth Social is likely draining tens of millions of dollars from Trump’s personal cash flow. The cash-out financing planned for 2022 flopped because of Musk’s purchase of Twitter, which sent right-wingers back to that platform. That means even if Trump wanted to, he couldn’t self-fund his presidential run without shuttering Truth Social. And shutting down Truth wouldn’t exactly boost his poll numbers, given that part of his appeal is being a great businessman.
The election lies were a great move - they got him a $250m campaign fund, not much different from when he was president and let him sell an illusion of electoral viability to GOP voters, inflating his approval numbers. The problem is he squandered huge chunks of it on self-dealing, as he did in the run-up to 2020, and the well is running dry. The number of hospice patients willing to sign their assets or SS checks over to the Trump campaign is finite, and he treated this resource as if it were bottomless.

2020 was when the GOP discovered that all of the tricks they used to prevent Democrats from voting were for good reason. Heck, they saw it in Oregon first where, after vote-by-mail, the state went from a GOP dead heat in 2000 to an 11% loss for Trump in 2016.
“A Deep State operator backing a Deep State candidate, imagine that.”
Is that what you say?
Oh my.
—> He lied about winning the election to raise $250m that’s been pumping up his numbers since his loss.
If you believe that you are either willingly blind, or blind.
Rasmussen says 62% of voters think that cheating affected the outcome of the 2020 presidential election.
Only 23% say that cheating did not at all affect the election.
So you, the media and a small minority of 23% of the voters think that it's all a Trump big lie.
The rest of us, the majority, have seen the evidence.
[Shall I add cheering for a nuclear war to your GOPe resume?
Also, I understand Bill Gates has a new mRNA upload ready to go. Good luck! ]
Florida, with its super majority Republican legislature could easily do away with all but same day voting , the Dominion voting machines and all voting machines.
DeSantis doesn't want that. DeSantis likes extended voting, and propriety voting machines that keep their software a secret to the public.
That's Ron DeSantis.
Spot on
Yep, Rollins turned out to be Deep State and so has DeSantis.

You know how Congress’s number is usually in the teens or twenties? Same idea. Some think it’s too right-wing and some think it’s too left-wing.
Trump was the deciding factor and you know it!
Trying to rewrite history isn’t getting you anywhere.

That is an interesting comment.
Rollins, you say, “turned out” to be a deep state operator so he supported DeSantis who, you say, is deep state.
Deep state Rollins also supported President Trump. So, using your reasoning, what does that make Trump?

These polls don’t mean anything. You have Democrat and Republican supporters each thinking they should have won more seats. You are part of the Republican segment thinking the GOP results should have been better.
Okay.
Ignore Rasmussen, a pollster with a great track record, ignore all the evidence that was presented in numerous state legislatures in Nov. and Dec. of 2020 (and then after that), ignore 2/3rds of the voters, and instead listen to the J6 committee, Big Media and 23% of the population, who mindlessly repeat over-and-over again, that Trump's claim of cheating is "The Big Lie".
And the senile, stupid, corrupt communist got 81 million votes and won.
DeSantis also backed Trump. A snake disguised as a bird is still a snake. I’m just grateful these snakes are being exposed for what they are. I might have voted for DeSantis in 2028 never knowing what a sleaze he actually is.
