For the first time in months, desantis has an open to the public event in Florida.

A huge crowd, for a city the size of Tampa, in a state the size of Florida, greeted desantis....

Looks like about 100 people attended, many were likely media because desantis has had so few appearances in Florida.

Slow motion train wreck and it’s sad.

He was popular enough as governor to draw much bigger crowds before taking advice from imbeciles.

“...because desantis has had so few appearances in Florida.”

Well pal, why should he waste his time in Florida, as being down 35 points there makes it one of his STRONG STATES. DeSantis needs to spend his time in states where he’s weaker.

Team desantis must have been expecting 100’s of people...

The vault, that this event was held at, has big spaces for weddings and other events....

This event appears to have been held in one of the bigger spaces, and may have occupied 1/8 of the room, if that....

the same people that were behind Jeb bush’s campaign are backing desantis. That said, Jeb ended up with three delegates costing his campaign in excess of fifty million dollars each.

good luck ronny, your protégé is depending on you to perform in his shadow.

saw some other photos.. crowd may have gotten up to occupying 1/4 of the space.. the photos have a funny perspective due to the lens they used.

Poor Ron, he should work on his administration as governor. He will never be President, at least in 2014.

Was Jeb able to leverage those 3 delegates into forcing the nominee to include some favorite idea or plan into a plank of the party? I can’t remember.
