on DeSantis is expected to announce his presidential candidacy later this week but, unless he makes some major adjustments, the Florida governor likely won’t last long in the Republican race, according to a Washington Post columnist.
Eugene Robinson wrote that despite his proclamations that he’s the only Republican who could beat President Joe Biden in 2024, DeSantis’ flagging poll numbers suggest a dramatic course correction is in order.

DeSantis trailed former President Donald Trump by just 13 points in late February, a deficit that’s since ballooned to 37 points.
Robinson wrote: “This trend line is hardly encouraging for DeSantis’s theory of the case.

Robinson argues that DeSantis’ support for far-right policies make it hard to see how he’d appeal to swing voters.
“But how does he imagine his six-week abortion ban, his law letting Floridians carry concealed firearms without a permit, his attempts to squelch free speech on college campuses, and his death-match against the Magic Kingdom will play in those swing states? Why would suburban women who voted for Joe Biden in 2020 vote for Ron DeSantis in 2024,” Robinson writes.
“Great politicians learn from their mistakes and course correct as necessary. DeSantis seems not to understand that going full-speed ahead is a bad idea if you’re approaching a cliff.”

The Anti Trump R team royalty can’t keep rooting for Democrats since their Jeb flamed out.
They had more in common with Hillary and Biden than Trump anyway.
So, that’s who they were really rooting for, thanks to Trump defeating their Jeb.
They finally have a chance to back another R..
So for that reason I should stop supporting President Trump?
What a load of bovine excrement.
—-> As a native Floridian and DeSantis supporter, I resent your off-base generalization.
A resentful life is sad - even in FL
You are doing a great job, Ron!
Don’t listen to this Circus Barkers!
Stay in Florida and finish your job!

Well, since ocrp1982 said
It’s apparent Governor Desantis is the great Kryptonite hope of the Never-Trumpers. Hoping his Minime policies in Florida will diminish President Trump’s voter base and thwart President reelection bid. They could not care less if Governor Desantis actually wins. That’s not their Prime Objective. But, if he did win. They know this ambitious politician is their guy. They own him.
and was talking about Never-Trumpers, I'm glad you identified yourself as one.
“and was talking about Never-Trumpers, I’m glad you identified yourself as one.”
Are you trying to cancel me with Alinsky tactics?
Why have a competent conservative, when you can have a loser posting MSNBC tweets and trying to elect Democrats?
Are you trying to cancel me with Alinsky tactics?
**************
You cancel yourself with TexasGator tactics.
I like the time you told me Trump was already “put out to pasture”...... it was a classic.

ROFL! You got yourself cancelled from here for a couple weeks, not that long ago. If you try, I’ll bet you can reprise that achievment.
Or, you could grow up. Your choice.
A quick look at the author’s twitter feed shows he slightly to the left of Mao. I just want you to know the kind of allies you’re making in the never-ending pursuit of getting rid of DeSantis. Politics makes strange bedfellows, I guess. I’m just glad I’m not on that side of things. How does it make you feel to have such people as allies?
Possible.
There are certainly a lot of fake conservatives here these days.
Plenty of war whores hell bent on a full blown general killing in eastern Europe.
Those two above are similar in nature.
As a Floridian, I could care less about your resentment. The following is a quote from the latest Desantis presidential wannabe Buffoonery. Even people from the guys home town showed no intention of showing up to his announcement.
DeSantis announced hours before Ron DeSantis’ presidential announcement on Wednesday that the planned rally scheduled to take place in DeSantis’ Florida hometown has been canceled. DeSantis will, however, still meet with globalist billionaires in Miami.
So you didn’t look it up yourself………afraid of the Truth?
Fauci set the agenda during Covid. Trump watched.
Then Trump gave Fauci a medal Jan. 19, 2021 before he left office.
Trump has the best excuse making supporters of any campaign I’ve ever seen.
