Florida’s Governor is unfazed by surveys showing him trailing Donald Trump in early 2024 GOP Primary states.
Ron DeSantis told Brian Kilmeade he’s only just begun his campaign and that his campaign is in “really good shape” despite being down by double digits in pivotal early states.
“I just started running. I mean, a lot of people didn’t know I was going to run or weren’t sure. So I think we’re actually in really good shape in the long run,” DeSantis said. “We’ve got a great plan and I think we’re going to be very strong in Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, which is what you need to do if you’re going to be able to win these things.”
In Iowa, the Race to the White House polling average shows Trump ahead, 55% to 23%.
In New Hampshire, Trump is up 42% to 20%, with Gov. Chris Sununu’s 14% good for a competitive third place. And in South Carolina, Trump leads 41% to 21% for DeSantis, with former Gov. Nikki Haley within striking distance of second place, at 14%.
DeSantis’ political operation is telling donors the Governor is “better liked” than Trump, and that he’s only losing “left-of-center” voters. Perhaps public polls will reflect that in time.

DeSantis thinks the courts are going to take Trump off the board. Trump said today the FBI is going to arrest him

Sigh, what to even say to this. I think Ron and his team have bought into the garbage about Trump's personality and tone. If your selling point is gonna be because your better liked, then they got serious issues.

Anyone else see the video from the Taylor Swift concert where she hauls some 'first-time' Gen Z politician to the stage who acts like the dork he is?
He had to throw out a 'F**K DeSantis' to the crowd (which of course those idiots ate up).

Same here. I'll write Trump's name in if he's not on the ballot in my state.
And I can assure Ron DeSantis and anyone else who cares to listen that I will never vote for a lawyer again under any circumstances.

All of the DeepStaters are banking/hoping, on that.

Why doesn’t Ron have a big outdoor rally for all his supporters?

I’m glad that Rhonda is telling himself lies like this and also that he won’t force Casey Rodham DuhSantis to sit down.
He can’t see how stupid he is as a candidate and I’m grateful for it.

Well, you will have a tough time in elections, as so many politicians, running for many offices, have been lawyers in their professional lives.
