Another sign Dems fear Ron DeSantis as a presidential contender
American Thinker ^ | 8 May, 2021 | Thomas Lifson

A ham-handed attack.Politico’s Playbook is a daily feature, sent by email to a large list of subscribers, heavily concentrated among professional political insiders. Companies “sponsor” it -- reportedly costing $60,000 a week in 2018 – in hopes of goodwill from the movers and shakers that read it.

Friday’s Playbook (online here) was, as a friend wrote, “a ham handed effort to suggest to Republicans that he won’t win the White House, since he has not built up a strong team of advisors and treats aides badly. It’s pretty obvious Dems fear him, as Politico is one of their many mouthpieces.

Here is the introduction. Go here to read the whole thing.

Is People's Republic of Florida supposed to be witty? If so, it only half succeeded:

But first, a look at the leader of the People’s Republic of Florida as a boss …

RON DESANTIS is looking ahead to reelection next year and quite possibly a 2024 bid for president — but he’s left behind a trail of former disgruntled staffers and has no long-standing political machine to mount a national campaign, DeSantis vets say.

We talked to a dozen or so onetime aides and consultants to the Florida governor, and they all said the same thing: DeSantis treats staff like expendable widgets. He largely relies on a brain trust of two: himself and his wife, CASEY DESANTIS, a former local TV journalist. Beyond that there are few, if any, “DeSantis people,” as far as political pros are concerned.

The only question about any challenger to the Uniparty A team candidate is whether that person strikes fear into the democratic city bosses in Philly, Detroit, Minneapolis, Atlanta, Las Vegas and probably Houston, Cleveland, etc. As in 2020 these people, working with their Uniparty (R) state houses will determine the next president. The answer to that question is a resounding NO!

Who can spot what is wrong in this statement from the opening paragraph in Politico’s political analysis?

“[Of Trump...] But some of his MAGA allies outside of Congress — like LOU DOBBS, ANN COULTER...”

And who has a shred of trust in the piece after reading that?

Considering the failure of candidates the Democrats fielded in 2020, The Democrats will be fearful for decades.

They and their allies have seized control of vote counting and now legislation from an apathetic population. Little reason for them to be afraid now.

If that's what they're saying about him, FAIL. That makes him even more attractive. He hasn't collected a swamp following.

We can expect the leftmedia attacks on DeSantis to continue and get steadily more strident; they are indeed scared of him. Scared of his political positions; scared of his stunning string of successes.

“...Scared of his political positions; scared of his stunning string of successes.”
...

...and the trend setting he is doing, showing how the failed dem polices are going for them and their popularity.

Florida is currently seeing huge influx of vacationers from leftist strongholds, fleeing the tyranny. Cheap airfares. Urban flight to paradise to breathe the fresh air.

Miami is a disaster. Don’t go anywhere near the beach scene there. Fights at the airport. Not good. Under reported.
