I've liked him as a governor, as a newly minted Floridian, he's done a good job. He has disappointed me with his obvious connections to the old GOP who hates Trump. If RDS doesn't drop out soon, he will sink like a stone, even in the eyes of his Florida voters. I find that kind of sad, and can only attribute his run as one for money, a promise of his ascendance after Trump is "convicted" of beating Hillary, um, er....doing all those really baaaaaaad things the Hillary party says he does every day.
I find that off putting, there is no reason he will do any better than Trump. He is clearly not ready for this. He's not a very good campaigner, doesn't have the charisma necessary for a national campaign, and his numbers are dropping while Vivek is surpassing him.
He needs to quit before he damages his viability forever.
1. He clearly got bad advice from the GOP stalwarts that he could take out Trump. There is not another good explanation for this folly. They offered him money, position, dangling the carrot of fame for him. That he wasn't howling about the Stalinism of these indictments like Vivek and some others tells a lot. Not a good look.
2. His flip flop on Ukraine was a big tell. The donors ALL want Ukraine for some nefarious reason, and he complied.
3. His campaign staff is so overwhelmingly old GOP failures. That's another tell.
4. If you haven't noticed him getting the approvals from Paul Ryan, Rove, and the other Bushies, then kindly open your eyes.
So, you want DeSantis to become a quitter because he’s campaigning against Trump, yet you excuse others. Nice hypocrisy.
