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.

No.
How about showing some support toward President Trump?
Kind of strange that I have been paying attention to your Governor, not my awful Governor.
I want him to stay your great Governor and make you happy while finishing his excellent 4 years that he campaigned for and won.
You still have not answered my question.
Uh-oh, drip-drip-drip, more anti-Desnatis coverage.
Man I thought for sure the left would embrace him.... he doesn’t do mean tweets like Trump.
Run-Ron-Run
Just what exactly does his job in Florida got to do with bumping uglies with Trump and dividing MAGA voters at the behest of the Derp State, hey?
And please capitalize FLORIDIANS, your own state. Have some respect. 'floridian' sounds like somebody who brushes their teeth a lot.
Bagster has his own style and takes insults with grace as well as handing them out.
outstanding...
how about working on getting your state in order instead of worrying about something you can’t control...
DeSantis campaign song....
What The Hell Am I Doing Here. I Don't Belong Here

What do you think you are controlling. If you think you are controlling opinion on this thread, well that is just laugh worthy. LOL
I will give my opinion when I want to.
You still haven’t answered my question.
Yea, I'm like as if the Buddha and the Dalai Lama had a baby. So, at least I got that goin' for me.
On a different note, Florida Atlantic to the Final Four!
Trump has all the right enemies.
DeSanctos has all the wrong friends.
Any questions?
Oh, we can control it to an extent. Heard of 'hearts and minds', and information warfare?
We have successfully managed to crush the FR Meatball uprising. We must kill this fledgling Derp owned scrub's Presidential aspirations before the baby bird learns to fly.

Glad you articulated how your style came about. I hope you don’t look like the spawn Of Buddha and the Dalai Lama though.
That’s is good I guess especially if you are in Florida. Is Ron on the team? LOL
Those ugly genes skip a generation. I more look like Apollo the Greek God.
Ron DeSantis is 6’1”.
I agree that he has voice and articulation problems.
A good speech and communications coach can fix that for him in time for debate season.
trump started his “operation warped speech” against desantis...
we have to brush our teeth a lot to maintain our smiles after all the winning we’re experiencing in florida... 😁
Yea, he's the basketball. But they only use him in practice, he ain't ready for game time.
