Ron DeSantis has less money and more problems.
The Florida governor's presidential campaign entered this month with just $5 million in cash available for the primary, a sum that reignites doubts about his solvency, budgeting and ability to gain ground on front-running former President Donald Trump.
The pain is so acute that DeSantis is redeploying aides from his Tallahassee headquarters to Des Moines for the stretch run of a do-or-die Jan. 15 Iowa caucus.
At the end of the second quarter, DeSantis had $6.6 million in primary funds available, according to an NBC News analysis of his last campaign finance filing — roughly $1.6 million more than his campaign says it has now.
Earlier this year, DeSantis and his allies played down the importance of winning Iowa, boasted about spending as much as $200 million through the super PAC and outlined a strategy for winning the race by beating Trump delegate-by-delegate in later-voting states. Now, it's all down to winning Iowa.

Please define a most likely scenario that would preclude such an outcome. short of a grassy knoll event.
He’s squandered it the same way ¡Jeb! squandered $150 million for three delegates in 2016. Those GOPe consultants don’t come cheap to run your campaign into the ground.
He’s got more than money problems.
Heart attack, stroke, cancer. None of us know, do we?
I think that anyone who would not vote for RDS OR Trump as nominee next November is a fool.
It’s a mystery. But if there’s any question, we know what it isn’t. Because if “what it isn’t” is cited as a possibility, then every disease specialist known to man appears as if by scripted means, to defend what it can’t be.

That's exactly what happened in 2015-16 from the Cruz crew.
By a lot of the same posters.
They are pitifully weak, politically, as is their candidate — and they know it, which is why they constantly put up little tantrum posts.
There is no discussion possible with a guy who denies the human condition.
Those shills you speak of have been uncharacteristically quiet the last couple of days. They must be busy packing up McCarthys belongings and moving them to the basement.
LOL
...weeping as they go.
Then help him. Send him a couple hundred of your hard earned dollars.
“What kind of leader is he?”
the kind exactly like Jeb! you know, spends hundreds of millions of campaign dollars only to end up with bupkis ...
“If Trump is unable to run next November” it matters not one whit who the GOP run, because the fascists will install themselves permanently and the Republic would be totally dead forever ...
“It is stupid to call RDS supporters Nevertrumpers.”
correct ... it’s obvious most of them are trolls paid by the fascist anti-MAGA anti-Republic Deep State to support biden by pretending to support desantis ...
“I think that anyone who would not vote for RDS OR Trump as nominee next November is a fool.”
the only fools are those who believe (or pretend to believe) that any republican but trump has any chance at all of being President ... a non-Trump GOP candidate would suffer the biggest defeat in history ... MAGA voters are totally DONE with voting for the lesser of two evils ... check out my tag line ...
“Those shills you speak of have been uncharacteristically quiet the last couple of days.”
they’re paymasters are consulting with them how to spin away from desantis and to haley without it being totally obvious what they’re really up to ...
As I said, stupid.
Fake news.
Far from a "key stretch", there is no "GOP campaign" in the sense of a contest which is unresolved and can yield one of many results.
It's a charade, and an evil one at that.
