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.”

Now you are acting suspicious. The titular head of the GOP announces Lyin Ted has been rehabilitated and is now Beautiful Ted. He is needed in the U.S. Senate.
And you show indifference to what the titular head of the GOP says and wants.
What next? Will you stab Beautiful Ted in the back?
I'm just following suit.
Why would I stab him in the back? I seldom think of him and I detest backstabbers. That’s why I have no respect for DeSantis.
Nice...you can dance too. Such talent. 🤡
