Just an observation but he’s a bit too ambitious and doing too much (politically) too fast.

Traveling from country to country instead of making sure the Republican won the mayor’s race in Jacksonville.

He’s enough of a lightning pole as it is and the past few weeks have shown perhaps he should wait for 2028.

A “virtual” campaign candidacy announcement? What does that look like? Not good. Sure not a grand entrance coming down a golden escalator.

Gee Ron, make sure you try to upstage Trump and throw cold water on MAGA. You want to make sure you give Karl Rove and the Bush and Cheney family’s plenty of value for their money.

We’ll written analysis, including this…

“… ultimately, why, when given the choice between a generational political talent in Donald Trump, and a cheap knockoff in Ron DeSantis, would voters choose the latter? The only reason people pay to see Elvis impersonators or Beatles tribute bands is because the real acts are no longer available. Fortunately, in our times, Donald Trump is still a viable option – and, arguably, this time around, he is stronger and better on every front: from messaging, to platform, to overall strategy.

I love what DeSantis has done as governor, but this is not his time. For one thing, why would any Republican want to challenge Trump right at the crucial moment when we need Trump’s unique courage and tenacity to fight back against the out of control tyranny in D.C.? And why would DeSantis, who previously looked like the natural follow-up to Trump in 2028, want to throw himself into the buzzsaw that is Donald Trump during a primary? And finally, why would he want to attack MAGA, a suicidal move for any Republican candidate?

This apparent incipient campaign by DeSantis is foolish in the extreme, cannot succeed, and could result in wrecking everything for Republicans in 2024. It appears to be driven by hubris stoked by the usual RINO consultants and donors. At the very least, DeSantis is throwing away a previously sterling reputation for nothing.

Here is what this all comes down to:

This is just the latest step in a long-running battle between the political and financial backers of the Republican Party and its grassroots voters. Ron DeSantis is a solution to problems that most voters don’t even have, and he’s being peddled as some kind of populist when he isn’t remotely close to one. In this regard, he’s just the latest in a long line of GOP establishment @ssholes — from the Bush clan to the Cheneys to the McCain family misfits to Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan.

No, thanks. I’ll write in Ronald McDonald’s name before I get behind one of those losers.

He’s getting terrible advice.

DeSantis could finish his term, continuing to make Florida by far the best-governed state in the Union, an acclaimed and unbeatable candidate for 2008. Why mess up his entire career by taking on a popular, wronged Republican candidate whom millions of Americans believe speaks for them and deserves a second term?

He’s getting terrible, terrible advice.

Terrible.
