Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) is recalibrating his strategy and messaging amid signs that his presidential ambitions may be faltering before his campaign even gets off the ground.
DeSantis began the year with clear momentum in the nascent GOP presidential primary, topping former President Trump in head-to-head polling and drawing unparalleled interest from Republican voters and operatives eager to see a fresh face at the helm of the party.
But there are signs that his momentum may be stalling: he’s faced weeks of relentless attacks from Trump and his allies, fellow Republicans have criticized him for dubbing Russia’s invasion of Ukraine “a territorial dispute” and some recent polls have shown his support in a hypothetical GOP primary slipping.
“I think for all the fanfare about DeSantis, there’s still a lot of stuff he needs to work on,” said one Republican strategist, who plans to back the Florida governor in the 2024 primary if he runs. “That’s normal when you’re exploring this kind of thing. But I think he needs to rethink things a little bit.”
To some degree, that already appears to be happening.

Yet, few do, clearly showing that they need the counsel.
Many prefer to make vague statements.
Biden approves. I live in PA, which Trump would actually have to carry to win.
I hit the target . thanks for the confirmation ,
IQ level is perfect for a Trump cultist
How much Cult cool aid did you suck down to nite .
Keep in classy . lol .
i don’t hate trump...
desantis is doing exactly what we conservative floridians elected him to do...
i despise his and your hypocrisy...
worry about your governor and worry about your own state...
The People have spoken and
Trump has lost Five times in a row .
Partly , because of another brilliant Trump Hand picked Choice Ronna Romney
a Gope documented Crook .
Trump can pick a great Crook and Incompetence fool .
Ronna will send the Gop to another historic defeat in 2024 .
“This past week, he made several unforced errors.”
IMO, DJT is the king of unforced errors - and yet he prevailed.
Yea, but I love you, man.
worry about your governor and worry about your own state...
Trouble is, there is a thing called the Federal Government which, like the one ring of Mordor, rules over and binds the states. So we can worry about each to our own states, but your meatball appears to be making moves to enter the FEDERAL government and that, my hateful friend and lover of bad music, affects each and every American, if not the world.
can your conversation with this thread be over?
karen again? grow up.
Let the last of the meatballs run amok. I got to get my sport somehow. What about MY needs?
He’s a fraud…like Charlie Brown, he’s all wishy-washy.

I got to say, that's an odd writing style you guys share. How does that happen? Are you 'both' in Florida? dot dot dot
What do you think bagster?
hey, ron, i’ve got an idea: hire some more scumbags from ted cruz’s former presidential campaign ... that should get things going again ...
If anyone, Desantis included, want to knock Trump out, they'll have to be even more MAGA than Trump.
Trump style MAGA is not in DeSantis DNA.
“How much Cult cool aid did you suck down to nite .”
Another sixth grader pipes in.
“Cult” - not capitalized.
“cool aid” “Kool Aid” (capitalized)
“to nite” - “tonight”.
And YOU mention I.Q.?
Re: 68 - Agreed. Calling people “idiot” and “stupid” is no way to win support for DeSantis.
But the poster does it thread after thread after thread.
truth comes in many writing styles...
king james version of the bible is an example...
Thirty one points behind is not a few points.
we don’t need any more support for desantis since he already won reelection for florida governor last november (2022)..
and was sworn in for his second term as florida governor almost 2 months ago (january 2023)...
why do you people insist on being stuck on stupid?...
the karens need to grow up...
