Image in article, about 20-30 people there, it appears 1/2 were media and camera crews.

But remember... according to the desantis supporters

"It's too early, there should be no coronation" "It's months till the primary, polls don't mean anything right now" "biden beats Trump in the polls, but desantis beats biden.... enjoy another 4 years of biden" "They will kill Trump to keep him from being elected" (seeing that more and more from desantis supporters/nevertrumpers) "desantis isn't going anywhere, but Trump is to jail"

I bet the other half were doners there to see just how far they are throwing their donations down the black hole of his doomed campaign.

Whoa! That’s scary and disappointing.
If Ron has his “Lazarus Moment” it will probably be because he has found a way to make news. Use the media more than they may be using you.

Say or do something that virtually forces the media to cover it.
Whatever you’ve been saving, now is a good time to pull that Rip Cord. And I don’t mean send the Missus out again to talk about her recovery from serious ailments. That’s wonderful, but we have already heard that story.

Biden achieved the presidency with far less than that.

I hope they write in DeSantis on Election Day like trumpees say they are going to do if their king isn’t chosen.

I am always skeptical about these pictures. When was it taken? 4 hours before the event? 4 hours after the event? Or during the core of the event?

Even though I could care less about DeSantis I never trust this sort of stuff.

Katy Tur did the same to Trump, it’s 2016 all over again. Difference is that now we no longer question Newsweek here as a reliable source.

Looks like DeSantis is standing on the left side, white shirt, with the microphone to his mouth. Did you not notice the few in the room all are looking right at him?

desantis supporters/nevertrumpers think desanctimonious will win the general election now, campaigning like biden...

Except most of them don’t believe election fraud gave biden the election win, and through magical thinking, believe desanctimonious won’t have the same election fraud for biden occur again because desantis is so much more likeable than Trump.

It looks like that is desantis in the white shirt speaking, if you enlarge the image.
